ARTICLE 2

SCOPE OF CHANNEL COLLABORATION; MANAGEMENT

2.1 Scope.

(a) Generally. The general purpose of the channel collaboration described in this Agreement will be to use the Intrexon Channel Technology to research, develop and commercialize products for use in the Field (collectively, the “Anti-Infectives Program”). As provided below, the JSC shall establish, monitor, and govern projects for the Anti-Infectives Program. Either Party may propose potential projects in the Field for review and consideration by the JSC.

(b) Initial Project for Immediate Commencement. The Parties as of the Effective Date have identified three specific targets in the Field as being desirable projects for immediate development under the Anti-Infectives Program (the “Primary Program Targets”), and the JSC will be directed upon its creation to produce, and thereafter initiate performance of, an initial research project for the production of Synthetic Products for each of the Primary Program Targets. The Primary Program Targets are : (i) Acinetobacter infection; (ii) Pertussis toxin(s) or whooping cough, which is associated with B. pertussis infection; and (iii) the prevention and treatment of Hepatitis C virus re-infection after liver transplantation and acute use after initial exposure or after suspected initial exposure to the Hepatitis C virus. Synthetic will review data derived from these research projects for the Primary Program Targets via the JSC and will use such to consider the scientific and commercial viability of the Primary Program Targets. The JSC, consistent with its authority herein and subject to Synthetic’s agreement to reimburse Intrexon for expenses relating thereto in accord with Section 4.7 below, may also authorize additional research projects for any of the five (5) other targets in the Field that are not Primary Program Targets. Such additional research projects may be authorized by the JSC prior to Synthetic making its election in accord with Section 2.1(c) below. Further, at any time prior to the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the election by Synthetic under Section 2.1(c), Synthetic at its sole discretion may suspend the initial research project for one or more of the Primary Program Targets, and swap for such, on a one-for-one basis, any of the five (5) other targets in the Field that are not Primary Program Targets. In the event that Synthetic swaps out a Primary Program Target as set forth in the previous sentence, or in the event that Synthetic otherwise suspends or terminates the initial research project for a Primary Program Target prior to making its election under Section 2.1(c), the definition of Field under Section 1.21 above will be automatically amended such that the suspended, terminated, or swapped-out

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

Primary Program Target will be removed automatically, immediately and irrevocably from the Field, and thereby all obligations and rights of the Parties as set forth herein which are defined at least in part by or in conjunction with the Field will likewise be immediately amended as such from that time forward. In the event that Synthetic swaps out a Primary Program Target as set forth in the previous sentence, the Primary Program Targets will be automatically amended such that any swapped-out Primary Program Target is removed and replaced with the other target in the Field chosen to be swapped-in by Synthetic, and thereby all obligations and rights of the Parties as set forth herein which are defined at least in part by or in conjunction with the Primary Program Targets will likewise be immediately amended as such from that time forward. Any Synthetic Products corresponding to these suspended, terminated, or swapped-out Primary Program Targets will be treated as Reverted Products in accord with Section 10.4.

(c) Field Election. On or before the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date, Synthetic must notify Intrexon in writing of Synthetic’s final and binding election, which election identifies up to three (3) target toxins or diseases in the Field (as the Field is defined at the point in time of the notification, taking into account any amendments to its definition caused by operation of Section 2.1(b)). Such election must reference this Section 2.1(c), will be effective immediately upon receipt by Intrexon, and will cause the definition of Field under this agreement to be amended immediately and permanently such that the Field from that time forward shall include only those three (3) elected toxins or diseases (and not any of the toxins or diseases not elected). All rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement within and without the Field will be permanently altered accordingly from the date of receipt of that election forward for the remaining Term. For any of the target toxins or diseases in the Field that are not elected by Synthetic under this Section 2.1(c), Synthetic (i) shall immediately cease, and shall cause its Affiliates and, if applicable, (sub)licensees to immediately cease, all development and Commercialization of Synthetic Products pertaining thereto; (ii), shall not use or practice, nor shall it cause or permit any of its Affiliates or, if applicable, (sub)licensees to use or practice, directly or indirectly, any Intrexon IP with respect to such; and (iii) shall return to Intrexon, or destroy all copies thereto at Intrexon’s option, all data and materials relating to such not-elected indications. Any Synthetic Products corresponding to these not-elected indications will be treated as Reverted Products in accord with Section 10.4.

(d) Effect of No Election. In the event that Synthetic does not communicate an election to Intrexon under Section 2.1(c) on or before the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date, the definition of Field will be amended automatically, immediately and permanently such that on the day after the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date the Field shall include only the Primary Program Targets and not any of the other target toxins or diseases that are not Primary Program Targets. All rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement which are defined at least in part by or in conjunction with the Field will thereby be permanently altered accordingly for the remaining Term from that time forward.

(e) Option to Expand Field Election. Synthetic, at its sole option, may expand its election rights under Section 2.1(c) to enable it to elect up to five (5) additional indications from the list of items (a) through (h) in Section 1.21 if : (i) prior to or concurrent with making an election under Section 2.1(c) Synthetic notifies Intrexon in writing of its intent to

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

expand its election rights in accord with this Section 2.1(e), and (ii) Synthetic remits a payment, in cash or equity at Synthetic’s sole discretion, to Intrexon of two million dollars ($2M) for each target in excess of three (3) that it desires to elect under Section 2.1(c). Any payment under this section made by Synthetic in equity must be made in compliance with the terms of the Equity Agreements. Any expansion of Synthetic’s election rights under Section 2.1(c) hereunder shall not be effective until the appropriate payment required under this Section 2.1(e) is received by Intrexon, and cannot be used to enable Synthetic to elect any targets that were already permanently removed from the Field under Section 2.1(b). Upon successful execution of the option to expand under this Section 2.1(e), all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement within and without the Field will be permanently altered accordingly from the date of receipt of that option forward for the remaining Term.

2.2 Committees.

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

(b) Formation and Purpose. Promptly following the Effective Date, the Parties shall confer and then create the Committees listed in the chart below, each of which shall have the purpose indicated in the chart. To the extent that after conferring both Parties agree that a given Committee need not be created until a later date, the Parties may agree to defer the creation of the Committee until one Party informs the other Party of its then desire to create the so-deferred Committee, at which point the Parties will thereafter promptly create the so-deferred Committee and schedule a meeting of such Committee within one (1) month.


Committee		Purpose
Joint Steering Committee (“JSC”)		Establish projects for the Anti-Infectives Program and establish the priorities, as well as approve budgets for such projects. Approve all subcommittee projects and plans. The JSC shall establish budgets not less than on a quarterly basis.

2.3 General Committee Membership and Procedure.

(a) Membership. For each Committee, each Party shall designate an equal number of representatives (not to exceed four (4) for each Party) with appropriate expertise to serve as members of such Committee. For the JSC the representatives must all be employees of such Party or an Affiliate of such Party, and for Committees other than the JSC the representatives must all be employees of such Party or an Affiliate of such Party with the caveat that each Party may designate for each such other Committee up to one (1) representative who is not an employee if : (i) such non-employee representative agrees in writing to be bound to the terms of this Agreement for the treatment and ownership of Confidential Information and Inventions of the Parties, and (ii) the other Party consents to the designation of such non-employee representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each representative as qualified above may serve on more than one Committee as appropriate in view of the individual’s expertise. Each Party may replace its Committee representatives at any time upon written notice to the other Party. Each Committee shall have a chairperson; the chairperson of each committee shall serve for a two-year term and the right to designate which representative to the Committee will act as chairperson shall alternate between the Parties, with Synthetic selecting the chairperson first for the JSC, CRC and CC, and Intrexon selecting the chairperson first for the CMCC and IPC. The chairperson of each Committee shall be responsible for calling meetings, preparing and circulating an agenda in advance of each meeting of such Committee, and preparing and issuing minutes of each meeting within fifteen (15) days thereafter.

(b) Meetings. Each Committee shall hold meetings at such times as it elects to do so, but in no event shall such meetings be held less frequently than once every six (6) months, with the caveat that both Parties may agree to suspend activities of a given Committee other than the JSC until such time as one Party informs the other Party of its then desire to

reactivate the so-suspended Committee, at which point the Parties will thereafter schedule and hold the next meeting for the reactivated Committee within one (1) month. Meetings of any Committee may be held in person or by means of telecommunication (telephone, video, or web conferences). To the extent that a Committee holds any meetings in person, the Parties will alternate in designating the location for such in-person meetings, with Synthetic selecting the first meeting location for each Committee. A reasonable number of additional representatives of a Party may attend meetings of a Committee in a non-voting capacity. Each Party shall be responsible for all of its own expenses of participating in any Committee excepting that an Intrexon employee or agent serving on a Committee shall not prevent Intrexon from recouping the Fully Loaded Costs otherwise derived from the labor of that employee or agent in the course of providing manufacturing or support services as set forth in Sections 4.6 and 4.7 below.

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

(d) Limitations of Committee Powers. Each Committee shall have only such powers as are specifically delegated to it hereunder or from time to time as agreed to in writing by the mutual consent of the Parties and shall not be a substitute for the rights of the Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Committee shall have any power to amend this Agreement. Any amendment to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be implemented pursuant to Section 12.7 below.

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

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

(c) For purposes of clarity, the licenses from Intrexon to Synthetic under Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b) will automatically change in conjunction with any amendments to the definition of Field in accord with Sections 2.1(c) through 2.1(e).

3.2 Sublicensing. Except as provided below, Synthetic shall not sublicense the rights granted under Section 3.1 to any Third Party, or transfer the Intrexon Materials to any Third Party, or otherwise grant any Third Party the right to research, develop, use, or Commercialize Synthetic Products or use or display the Intrexon Trademarks, in each case except with Intrexon’s written consent, which written consent may be withheld in Intrexon’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Synthetic shall have a limited right to sublicense under the circumstances described in Sections 3.2(a) and 3.2(b).

(a) Synthetic may transfer, to the extent reasonably necessary, Intrexon Materials that are or express active pharmaceutical ingredients to a Third Party contractor performing contract manufacturing, fill, and/or finish responsibilities for Synthetic Products, and may in connection therewith grant limited sublicenses necessary to enable such Third Party to perform such activities. If Synthetic transfers any Intrexon Materials under this Section 3.2(a), Synthetic will remain obligated to ensure that the rights of Intrexon in and to the Intrexon Materials and Intrexon IP and under the provisions of Articles 6 and 7 of this Agreement are not violated by any such Third Party contractor.

(b) Synthetic may, with Intrexon’s written consent, which consent cannot be unreasonably withheld, sublicense the rights granted under Section 3.1 to an Affiliate, or transfer the Intrexon Materials to an Affiliate, or grant an Affiliate the right to research, develop, use, or Commercialize Synthetic Products or use or display the Intrexon Trademarks. In the event that Intrexon consents to any such grant or transfer to an Affiliate, Synthetic shall remain responsible for, and be guarantor of, the performance by any such Affiliate and shall cause such Affiliate to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance (as though such Affiliate were Synthetic), including any payment obligations owed to Intrexon hereunder.

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

3.5 Exclusivity. Intrexon and Synthetic mutually agree that, under the channel collaboration established by this Agreement, it is intended that the Parties will be exclusive to each other in the Field. To this end, neither Intrexon nor its Affiliates shall make the Intrexon Channel Technology or Intrexon Materials available to any Third Party for the purpose of developing or Commercializing products in the Field (except as set forth in Section 3.2), and neither Intrexon nor any Affiliate shall pursue (either by itself or with a Third Party or Affiliate) the research, development or Commercialization of any product for purpose of sale in the Field, outside of the Anti-Infectives Program. Further, other than Synthetic’s activities within the Anti-Infectives Program, neither Synthetic nor its Affiliates shall pursue (either by itself or with a Third Party or Affiliate) the research, development or Commercialization of any product for purpose of sale in the Field.

3.6 Off Label Use. For purpose of clarity, (a) following the Commercial Sale of a Synthetic Product, the use by direct or indirect purchasers or other users of Synthetic Products outside the Field (i.e. “off label use”) shall not constitute a breach by Synthetic of the terms of Section 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5, provided that neither Synthetic nor its Affiliate (nor any Third Party under contract with either of them) marketed or promoted Synthetic Products for such off-label use; and (b) following the Commercial Sale of a product by Intrexon, an Intrexon Affiliate, or a Third Party sublicensee, collaborator, or partner of Intrexon, the use by direct or indirect purchasers or other users of such products in the Field (i.e. “off label use”) shall not constitute a breach by Intrexon of the terms of Section 3.5, provided that neither Intrexon nor its Affiliate (nor any Third Party under contract with either of them) marketed or promoted such products for such off-label use.

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

3.8 Rights to Clinical and Regulatory Data. Synthetic shall own and control all clinical data and regulatory filings relating to Commercialization of Synthetic Products during the Term. Synthetic shall provide at Intrexon’s request full copies of all clinical and non-clinical data and reports, regulatory filings, and communications from regulatory authorities that relate specifically and solely to Synthetic Products. To the extent that there exist any clinical and non-clinical data and reports, regulatory filings, and communications from regulatory authorities owned by Synthetic that relate both to Synthetic Products and other products produced by Synthetic outside the Field, Synthetic shall provide to Intrexon upon Intrexon’s request copies of the portions of such data, reports, filings, and communications that relate to Synthetic Products. Subject to its ongoing obligations of exclusivity under Section 3.5 and regarding off label use under 3.6, Intrexon shall be permitted, directly or in conjunction with or through partners or other channel collaborators, to reference this data, reports, filings, and communications relating

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

to Synthetic Products in regulatory filings made to obtain regulatory approval for products indicated for use in fields outside the Field. Intrexon shall have the right to use any such information in developing and Commercializing products outside the Field and to license any Third Parties to do so. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.8, Intrexon shall not, outside of the Anti-Infectives Program, utilize knowingly any Synthetic clinical and non-clinical data or reports in support of obtaining regulatory approval for a product for use in the Field.

3.9 Third Party Licenses.

(a) [*****] shall obtain, [*****], any licenses from Third Parties that are required in order to practice the Intrexon Channel Technology in the Field where the licensed intellectual property is reasonably necessary for Intrexon to identify and characterize human antibodies (but specifically excluding intellectual property directed to any processes or methods for expressing monoclonal antibodies from cloned cells or methods of treating humans with antibodies for purposes of therapy) (“Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP”). Other than with respect to Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP, [*****] shall be solely responsible for obtaining, [*****], any licenses from Third Parties that [*****] determines, in its sole discretion, are required in order to lawfully make, use, sell, offer for sale, or import Synthetic Products (“Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP”). Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP and Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP are collectively referred to as “In-Licensed Program IP”.

(b) In the event that either Party desires to license from a Third Party any Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP or Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP, such Party shall so notify the other Party, and the IPC shall discuss such In-Licensed Program IP and its applicability to the Synthetic Products and to the Field. As provided above in Section 3.9(a), [*****] shall have the sole right and responsibility to pursue a license under Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP, and [*****] hereby covenants that it shall not itself directly license such Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP at any time, provided that [*****] may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such a license directly if the Third Party owner or licensee of such Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP brings an infringement action against [*****] or its Affiliates and, after written notice to [*****] of such action, [*****] fails to obtain a license to such Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP using Diligent Efforts within ninety (90) days after such notice. Following the IPC’s discussion of any Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP, subject to Section 3.8(c), [*****] shall have the right to pursue a license under Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP, [*****]. For the avoidance of doubt, [*****] may at any time obtain a license under Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP outside the Field, [*****], provided that if [*****] decides to seek to obtain such a license, it shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate its licensing activities in this regard with [*****].

(c) [*****] shall provide the proposed terms of any license under Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP and the final version of the definitive license agreement for any Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP to the IPC for review and discussion prior to signing, and shall consider [*****] comments thereto in good faith. To the extent that [*****] obtains a license under Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP, [*****]

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

shall provide the final version of the definitive license agreement for such Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP to the IPC. If [*****] acquires rights under any In-Licensed Program IP outside the Field, it will do so on a non-exclusive basis unless it obtains the prior written consent of [*****] for such license outside the Field to be exclusive. For purposes of clarity, the foregoing requirement shall not restrict [*****] ability with respect to licensing intellectual property owned by a Third Party that is not required in order for [*****] to lawfully make, use, sell, offer for sale, or import Synthetic Products. Any Party that is pursuing a license to any In-Licensed Program IP with respect to the Field under this Section 3.9 shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status of any negotiations relating thereto. For purposes of clarity, (i) any costs incurred by [*****] in obtaining and maintaining licenses to Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP shall be borne solely by [*****], and (ii) any costs incurred by [*****] in obtaining and maintaining licenses to Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP (and, to the limited extent provided in subsection (b), Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP) shall be borne solely by [*****].

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

(e) The licenses granted to Synthetic under Section 3.1 may include sublicenses under Intrexon IP that has been licensed to Intrexon by one or more Third Parties. Any such sublicenses are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable upstream license agreement, subject to the cost allocation set forth in Section 3.9(c), provided that Intrexon shall either provide unredacted copies of such upstream license agreements to Synthetic or shall disclose in writing to Synthetic all of such terms and conditions that are applicable to Synthetic. Synthetic shall not be responsible for complying with any provisions of such upstream license agreements unless, and to the extent that, such provisions have been disclosed to Synthetic as provided in the preceding sentence.

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

3.10 Licenses to Intrexon. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Synthetic hereby grants to Intrexon a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully-paid, royalty-free license, under any applicable Patents or other intellectual property Controlled by Synthetic or its Affiliates, solely to the extent necessary for Intrexon to conduct those responsibilities assigned to it under this Agreement, which license shall be sublicensable solely to Intrexon’s Affiliates or to any of Intrexon’s permitted subcontractors.

CONFIDENTIAL

approval more than sixty (60) days after delivery of the development plan to the JSC; or (z) approve a development plan that is insufficient in view of the nature and magnitude of the opportunity presented by the Superior Therapy, then Intrexon shall have the termination right set forth in Section 10.2(c) (subject to the limitation set forth therein). For clarity, any dispute arising under this 4.5, including any dispute as to whether a proposed project constitutes a Superior Therapy (as with any other dispute under this Agreement) shall be subject to dispute resolution in accordance with Article 11.

(c) The activities of Synthetic’s Affiliates and any permitted sublicensees shall be attributed to Synthetic for the purposes of evaluating Synthetic’s fulfillment of the obligations set forth in this Section 4.5.

4.6 Manufacturing.

(a) As part of the Therapeutic Program, Intrexon shall be tasked with the development of one or more cell lines and may be asked by the JSC or CMCC to research and develop processes, and may thereafter validate such processes, for manufacturing one or more Synthetic Products hereunder. In connection with such research and development, a Third Party selected by Synthetic and approved by the JSC, which approval cannot be unreasonably withheld, may manufacture and supply pre-clinical quantities of each Synthetic Product. Intrexon shall provide, subject to reasonable controls concerning protecting all provided Intrexon Materials, to Synthetic or the selected Third Party such quantities of cells or other Intrexon Materials reasonable necessary for the pre-commercial development activities hereunder, at Synthetic expense, said expense approved in advance by written confirmation of the JSC.

(b) Intrexon shall have the option to present a proposal for consideration to the JSC to be the manufacturer of the Synthetic Product, or component thereof, either in bulk form or as finished product, for Synthetic for clinical and/or commercialization use. Synthetic will determine whether Intrexon, or Synthetic’s or Intrexon’s proposed Third Party, is a manufacturer of a Synthetic Product. Synthetic shall make their determination as to the manufacturer of each Synthetic Product based on the commercially reasonable consideration of their standards and criteria, as applied in a manner consistent with that applied to the manufacture of other Synthetic products and in good faith. Upon Intrexon’s request, Synthetic shall provide Intrexon with a reasonable explanation and summary of the criteria that Synthetic used in deciding upon the manufacturer(s). In the event Intrexon is chosen by Synthetic to manufacture Synthetic Product under this Agreement, such supply shall be carried out under the terms negotiated by the Parties in good faith and set forth in separate supply and quality agreements.

(c) In the event that Intrexon is not selected as the manufacturer for clinical and/or commercial quantities of a Synthetic Product, Synthetic will assume all responsibility and related expense for manufacturing and supply of clinical and/or commercial quantities of such Synthetic Product in accordance with a validation process.

Synthetic, in consultation with Intrexon, will oversee process validation of such Synthetic Products at the Synthetic selected manufacturing site(s). The process, along with any additional manufacturing Information transferred hereunder to Synthetic or its contract manufacturer shall be deemed Confidential Information of Intrexon, and shall not be further transferred to any Third Party or Synthetic Affiliate without the prior written consent of Intrexon. Any such changes to the process provided by Intrexon to Synthetic are owned by Intrexon, with Synthetic having a non-exclusive license right (such non-exclusive right hereby granted to Synthetic by Intrexon) for purposes of exercising rights in the Field, pursuant to this Section 4.6.

4.7 Support Services. As set forth in Section 2.1(b), immediately following the Effective Date, Intrexon will begin providing support services to Synthetic by which Intrexon will conduct research and development of Synthetic Products on behalf of Synthetic for the Primary Program Targets. The JSC will meet promptly following the Effective Date and establish a plan for this research and development, and Synthetic will compensate Intrexon for such support services with cash payments equal to Intrexon’s Fully Loaded Cost in connection with such services. Additionally, from time to time, on an ongoing basis, Synthetic shall request, or Intrexon may propose, that Intrexon perform certain additional support services with respect to the Anti-Infectives Program. To the extent that the Parties mutually agree that Intrexon should perform such additional services, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms under which services would be performed, it being understood that Intrexon would be compensated for such services by cash payments equal to Intrexon’s Fully Loaded Cost in connection with such services. The JSC from time to time may reasonably determine that specific experiments under the Anti-Infectives Program require special therapeutic or technical expertise and thus should be conducted by Third Parties having such capabilities. Upon agreement by the Parties, the billing for any such work conducted by Third Party under the previous sentence may be billed directly to Synthetic or passed through to Synthetic.

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

Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter during which Net Sales have been generated, during which Sublicensing Revenue has been received, or during which a negative Net Sales has occurred, Synthetic shall deliver to Intrexon a written report that shall contain at a minimum for the applicable calendar quarter:

(a) gross sales of each Synthetic Product (on a country-by-country basis);

(b) itemized calculation of Net Sales, showing all applicable deductions;

(c) itemized calculation of Sublicensing Revenue;

(d) the amount of any negative Net Sales for the applicable calendar quarter, and any negative Net Sales amount carried forward from a prior quarter and applied during the present quarter (as per Section 5.4(a));

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

For three (3) years after each sale of Synthetic Product or after incurring any component item incorporated into a calculation of Net Sales, Synthetic shall keep (and shall ensure that its Affiliates and, if applicable, (sub)licensees shall keep) complete and accurate records of such sales or component item in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of the payment calculations hereunder.

5.7 Audits.

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

(b) If such accounting firm concludes that additional amounts were owed during such period, Synthetic shall pay additional amounts, with interest from the date originally due as set forth in Section 5.9, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the accounting firm’s written report. If the amount of the underpayment is greater than ten percent (10%) of the total amount actually owed for the period audited, then Synthetic shall in addition reimburse Intrexon for all costs related to such audit; otherwise, Intrexon shall pay all costs of the audit. In the event of overpayment, any amount of such overpayment shall be fully creditable against amounts payable for the immediately succeeding calendar quarter(s); provided, however, that such credit cannot be applied to reduce the amounts payable by Synthetic to Intrexon for any particular calendar quarter by more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount otherwise due to Intrexon.

(c) Intrexon shall (i) treat all information that it receives under this Section 5.7 in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of Article 7 and (ii) cause its accounting firm to enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with Synthetic obligating such firm to retain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement, in each case except to the extent necessary for Intrexon to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

5.8 Taxes. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to obtain the benefit of any relevant tax treaties to minimize as far as reasonably possible any taxes which may be levied on any amounts payable hereunder. Synthetic shall deduct or withhold from any payments any taxes that it is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Intrexon is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of the rate of, or the elimination of, applicable withholding tax, it may deliver to Synthetic or the appropriate governmental authority (with the assistance of Synthetic to the extent that this is reasonably required and is expressly requested in writing) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

applicable rate of withholding or to relieve Synthetic of its obligation to withhold tax, and Synthetic shall apply the reduced rate of withholding tax, or dispense with withholding tax, as the case may be, provided that Synthetic has received evidence of Intrexon’s delivery of all applicable forms (and, if necessary, its receipt of appropriate governmental authorization) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time that the payment is due. If, in accordance with the foregoing, Synthetic withholds any amount, it shall make timely payment to the proper taxing authority of the withheld amount, and send to Intrexon proof of such payment within forty-five (45) days following that latter payment.

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

ARTICLE 6

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

6.1 Ownership.

(a) Subject to the license granted under Section 3.1, all rights in the Intrexon IP shall remain with Intrexon.

(b) Synthetic and/or Intrexon may solely or jointly conceive, reduce to practice or develop discoveries, inventions, processes, techniques, and other technology, whether or not patentable, in the course of performing the Anti-Infectives Program (collectively “Inventions”). Each Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a detailed written description of any such Inventions that relate to the Field. Inventorship shall be determined in accordance with United States patent laws.

(c) Intrexon shall solely own all right, title and interest in all Inventions related to Intrexon Channel Technology, together with all Patent rights and other intellectual property rights therein (the “Channel-Related Program IP”). Synthetic hereby assigns all of its right, title and interest in and to the Channel-Related Program IP to Intrexon. Synthetic agrees to execute such documents and perform such other acts as Intrexon may reasonably request to obtain, perfect and enforce its rights to the Channel-Related Program IP and the assignment thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any discovery, invention, process, technique, or other technology, whether or not patentable, that is conceived, reduced to practice or developed by Synthetic solely or jointly through the use of the Intrexon Channel Technology, Intrexon IP, or Intrexon Materials in breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, together with all patent rights and other intellectual property rights therein, shall be solely owned by Intrexon and shall be included in the Channel-Related Program IP.

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

(e) All information regarding Channel-Related Program IP shall be Confidential Information of Intrexon. Synthetic shall be under appropriate written agreements with each of its employees, contractors, or agents working on the Anti-Infectives Program, pursuant to which such person shall grant all rights in the Inventions to Synthetic (so that Synthetic may convey certain of such rights to Intrexon, as provided herein) and agree to protect all Confidential Information relating to the Anti-Infectives Program.

6.2 Patent Prosecution.

(a) Intrexon shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to (a) conduct and control the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Intrexon Patents, and (b) conduct and control the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of any applications for patent term extension and/or supplementary protection certificates that may be available as a result of the regulatory approval of any Synthetic Product. At the reasonable request of Intrexon, Synthetic shall cooperate with Intrexon in connection with such filing, prosecution, and maintenance, at Intrexon’s expense. Under no circumstances shall Synthetic (a) file, attempt to file, or assist anyone else in filing, or attempting to file, any Patent application, either in the United States or elsewhere, that claims or uses or purports to claim or use or relies for support upon an Invention owned by Intrexon, (b) use, attempt to use, or assist anyone else in using or attempting to use, the Intrexon Know-How, Intrexon Materials, or any Confidential Information of Intrexon to support the filing of a Patent application, either in the United States or elsewhere, that contains claims directed to the Intrexon IP, Intrexon Materials, or the Intrexon Channel Technology, or (c) without prior approval of the IPC, file, attempt to file, or assist anyone else in filing, or attempting to file, any application for patent term extension or supplementary protection certificate, either in the United States or elsewhere, that relies upon the regulatory approval of a Synthetic Product.

(b) Synthetic shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Patents claiming Inventions that are owned by Synthetic or its Affiliates and not assigned to Intrexon under Section 6.1(c) (“Synthetic Program Patents”). At the reasonable request of Synthetic, Intrexon shall cooperate with Synthetic in connection with such filing, prosecution, and maintenance, at Synthetic’s expense.

(c) The Prosecuting Party shall be entitled to use patent counsel selected by it and reasonably acceptable to the non-Prosecuting Party (including in-house patent counsel as well as outside patent counsel) for the prosecution of the Intrexon Patents and Synthetic Program Patents, as applicable. The Prosecuting Party shall:

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

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

lieu of directly providing copies of such information to such other Party, provide such other Party with sufficient information that will permit such other Party to access such information itself directly);

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

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

As used above “Prosecuting Party” means Intrexon in the case of Intrexon Patents and Synthetic in the case of Synthetic Program Patents.

6.3 Infringement of Patents by Third Parties.

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

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

(c) With respect to any Field Infringement that cannot reasonably be abated through the enforcement of Product-Specific Program Patents pursuant to Section 6.3(b) but can reasonably be abated through the enforcement of Intrexon Patent(s) (other than the Product-Specific Program Patents), Intrexon shall be obligated to choose one of the following courses of action: (i) enforce one or more of the applicable Intrexon Patent(s) in a commercially reasonable manner against such Field Infringement, or (ii) [*****]. Intrexon and Synthetic shall bear the costs and expenses of such enforcement equally. The determination of which Intrexon Patent(s) to assert shall be made by Intrexon in its sole discretion; provided, however, that Intrexon shall

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

consult in good faith with Synthetic on such determination. For the avoidance of doubt, Intrexon has no obligations under this Agreement to enforce any Intrexon Patents against, or otherwise abate, any Infringement that is not a Field Infringement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For such reports, publications, and presentations, the disclosing Party will provide the other Party at least fifteen (15) days for review of the proposed submission or presentation. For reports and manuscripts, the disclosing Party will provide the other Party at least thirty (30) days for review of the report or manuscript. The presenting Party will act in good faith to incorporate the comments of the other Party and shall, in any event, redact any Confidential Information of the other Party and cooperate with the other Party to postpone such submissions or presentations if necessary to provide the other Party with sufficient time to prepare and file any related Patent applications before the submission or presentation occurs, as appropriate.

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

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

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

product liability insurance (“Excess Product Liability Costs”), shall be paid by [*****], except to the extent such Losses arise out of any Third-Party Claim based on the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Party, its Affiliates, or its Affiliates’ Sublicensees, or any of the respective officers, directors, employees and agents of each of the foregoing entities, in the performance of obligations or exercise of rights under this Agreement.

9.4 Control of Defense. As a condition precedent to any indemnification obligations hereunder, any entity entitled to indemnification under this Article 9 shall give written notice to the indemnifying Party of any Claims that may be subject to indemnification, promptly after learning of such Claim. If such Claim falls within the scope of the indemnification obligations of this Article 9, then the indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party. The indemnified Party shall cooperate with the indemnifying Party in such defense. The indemnified Party may, at its option and expense, be represented by counsel of its choice in any action or proceeding with respect to such Claim. The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any litigation costs or expenses incurred by the indemnified Party without the indemnifying Party’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Claim if such settlement (a) does not fully and unconditionally release the indemnified Party from all liability relating thereto or (b) adversely impacts the exercise of the rights granted to the indemnified Party under this Agreement, unless the indemnified Party otherwise agrees in writing.

9.5 Insurance. Immediately prior to, and during marketing, Synthetic shall maintain in effect and good standing a product liability insurance policy issued by a reputable insurance company in amounts considered standard for the industry. Immediately prior to, and during the conduct of any clinical trials, Synthetic shall maintain in effect and good standing a clinical trials liability insurance policy issued by a reputable insurance company in amounts considered standard for the industry. At Intrexon’s reasonable request, Synthetic shall provide Intrexon with all details regarding such policies, including without limitation copies of the applicable liability insurance contracts. Synthetic shall use reasonable efforts to include Intrexon as an additional insured on any such policies.

(b) Termination of Licenses. Except as necessary for Synthetic to continue to obtain regulatory approval for, clinically develop, use, manufacture and Commercialize the Retained Products in the Field as permitted by Section 10.4(a), all rights and licenses granted by Intrexon to Synthetic under this Agreement shall terminate and shall revert to Intrexon without further action by either Intrexon or Synthetic. Synthetic’s license with respect to Retained Products shall be exclusive or non-exclusive, as the case may be, on the same terms as set forth in Section 3.1.

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

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

(e) Licenses to Intrexon. Synthetic is automatically deemed to grant to Intrexon a worldwide, fully paid, royalty-free, exclusive (even as to Synthetic and its Affiliates), irrevocable, license (with full rights to sublicense) under the Synthetic Termination IP, to make, have made, import, use, offer for sale and sell Reverted Products and to use the Intrexon Channel Technology, the Intrexon Materials, and/or the Intrexon IP in the Field, subject to any exclusive rights held by Synthetic in Reverted Products pursuant to Section 10.4(c).

Synthetic shall also take such actions and execute such other instruments, assignments and documents as may be necessary to effect the transfer of rights thereunder to Intrexon. To the extent that there exist any regulatory approvals and regulatory filings that relate both to Reverted Products and other products, Synthetic shall provide copies of the portions of such regulatory filings that relate to Reverted Products and shall reasonably cooperate to assist Intrexon in obtaining the benefits of such regulatory approvals with respect to the Reverted Products.

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

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

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

(j) Third Party Vendors.

Synthetic shall be liable for any costs associated with assigning a Third Party agreement to Intrexon or otherwise obtaining the benefits of such agreement for Intrexon, to the extent such costs are directly related to Synthetic’s breach. For the avoidance of doubt, Intrexon shall have no obligation to assume any of Synthetic’s obligations under any Third Party agreement.

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

Further, Article 7 and Sections 4.5(a), 4.5(c), 5.2 through 5.8, and 9.5 will survive termination of this Agreement to the extent there are applicable Retained Products.

ARTICLE 11

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1 Disputes. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. In the event of any disputes, controversies or differences which may arise between the Parties out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement (other than disputes arising from a Committee), including, without limitation, any alleged failure to perform, or breach, of this Agreement, or any issue relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, then upon the request of either Party by written notice, the Parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith a possible resolution thereof, which good faith efforts shall include at least one in-person meeting between the Executive Officers of each Party. If the matter is not resolved within thirty (30) days following the written request for discussions, either Party may then invoke the provisions of Section 11.2. For the avoidance of doubt, any disputes, controversies or differences arising from a Committee pursuant to Article 2 shall be resolved solely in accordance with Section 2.4.

11.2 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim which may arise between the Parties and not from a Committee, out of or in relation to or in connection with this

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

Agreement (including, without limitation, arising out of or relating to the validity, construction, interpretation, enforceability, breach, performance, application or termination of this Agreement) that is not resolved pursuant to Section 11.1 shall, subject to Section 11.10, be settled by binding “baseball arbitration” as follows. Either Party, following the end of the thirty (30) day period referenced in Section 11.1, may refer such issue to arbitration by submitting a written notice of such request to the other Party, with the arbitration to be held in the state where the other Party’s principal office is located (or some other place as may be mutually agreed by the Parties). Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith and seek to agree on an arbitrator to resolve the issue, which arbitrator shall be neutral and independent of both Parties and all of their respective Affiliates, shall have significant experience and expertise in licensing and partnering agreements in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and shall have some experience in mediating or arbitrating issues relating to such agreements. If the Parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of request by a Party for arbitration, then each Party shall select an arbitrator meeting the foregoing criteria and the two (2) arbitrators so selected shall select within ten (10) days of their appointment a third arbitrator meeting the foregoing criteria. Within fifteen (15) days after an arbitrator(s) is selected (in the case of the three-person panel, when the third arbitrator is selected), each Party will deliver to both the arbitrator(s) and the other Party a detailed written proposal setting forth its proposed terms for the resolution for the matter at issue (the “Proposed Terms” of the Party) and a memorandum (the “Support Memorandum”) in support thereof. The Parties will also provide the arbitrator(s) a copy of this Agreement, as it may be amended at such time. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the other Party’s Proposed Terms and Support Memorandum, each Party may submit to the arbitrator(s) (with a copy to the other Party) a response to the other Party’s Support Memorandum. Neither Party may have any other communications (either written or oral) with the arbitrator(s) other than for the sole purpose of engaging the arbitrator or as expressly permitted in this Section 11.2; provided that, the arbitrator(s) may convene a hearing if the arbitrator(s) so chooses to ask questions of the Parties and hear oral argument and discussion regarding each Party’s Proposed Terms. Within sixty (60) days after the arbitrator’s appointment, the arbitrator(s) will select one of the two Proposed Terms (without modification) provided by the Parties that he or she believes is most consistent with the intention underlying and agreed principles set forth in this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final, binding, and unappealable. For clarity, the arbitrator(s) must select as the only method to resolve the matter at issue one of the two sets of Proposed Terms, and may not combine elements of both Proposed Terms or award any other relief or take any other action.

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

11.4 Award. Any award to be paid by one Party to the other Party as determined by the arbitrator(s) as set forth above under Section 11.2 shall be promptly paid in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset; and any costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the losing Party. Each Party agrees to abide by the award rendered in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Article

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

11, and agrees that, subject to the United States Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, judgment may be entered upon the final award in any United States District Court located in New York and that other courts may award full faith and credit to such judgment in order to enforce such award. The award shall include interest from the date of any damages incurred for breach of the Agreement, and from the date of the award until paid in full, at a rate fixed by the arbitrator(s). With respect to money damages, nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit the arbitrator(s) or any court or any other forum to award consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages. By entering into this agreement to arbitrate, the Parties expressly waive any claim for consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages. The only damages recoverable under this Agreement are direct compensatory damages.

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

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

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

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

11.9 Jurisdiction. For the purposes of this Article 11, the Parties acknowledge their diversity and agree to accept the jurisdiction of any United States District Court located in New

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

York for the purposes of enforcing or appealing any awards entered pursuant to this Article 11 and for enforcing the agreements reflected in this Article 11 and agree not to commence any action, suit or proceeding related thereto except in such courts.

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

ARTICLE 12

GENERAL PROVISIONS

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

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either Party assigns this Agreement to its successor in interest by way of merger, acquisition, consolidation, corporate reorganization, or similar transaction, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets (whether this Agreement is actually assigned or is assumed by such successor in interest or its affiliate by operation of law (e.g., in the context of a reverse triangular merger)), the intellectual property rights of such successor in interest or any of its Affiliates other than those licensed in this Agreement shall be automatically excluded from the rights licensed to the other Party under this Agreement.

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