“Initial Share Ownership Amount” shall mean [__] Ordinary Shares.

2. Representation on the Board.

(a) For so long as the Shareholders collectively continue to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, (i) at least fifty percent (50%) of the Initial Share Ownership Amount, the Shareholders shall be entitled to nominate two (2) Directors (with each such Director referred to as a “UAC Director” and collectively, as the “UAC Directors”) to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at every annual meeting of the Company, and (ii) at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Initial Share Ownership Amount (the “Minimum Shares”), the Shareholders shall be entitled to nominate one (1) UAC Director to the Board at every annual meeting of the Company. Bioceres hereby agrees to vote in favor of the appointment of such UAC Directors.

(b) On the Closing Date, Bioceres shall cause two UAC Directors that are identified and designated by the Shareholders to be appointed to the Board. If, as a result of death, disability, retirement, resignation, removal or otherwise, any UAC Director is unable to serve on the Board, the Shareholders shall be entitled to designate a replacement UAC Director to serve on the Board. In such event, Bioceres and the Company shall take any and all necessary actions to ensure the election or appointment, as applicable, of such designated UAC Director to the Board.

(c) As of immediately following the Closing Date, after giving effect to the appointment of the two UAC Directors, the Board will be comprised of seven (7) members.

(d) The UAC Directors shall be entitled to the same rights, capacities, entitlements, compensation (if she or he serves as an independent director), indemnification and insurance in connection with his or her role as a director as other members of the Board, and shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board or any committees thereof, to the same extent as other members of the Board. The Company shall, upon the appointment of the UAC Directors, enter into indemnification agreements in the same form as applicable to other members of the Board with such UAC Directors.

(e) In addition, each UAC Director shall be entitled to coverage under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with the same coverage as, and containing terms and conditions no less favorable than, those available to the other members of the Board; which coverage shall be effective upon his or her appointment to the Board and, for the avoidance of doubt, which shall continue in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

(f) The UAC Directors shall be entitled to serve on the audit committee of the Board; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, a UAC Director shall not be entitled to serve on the audit committee of the Board if, as determined in good faith by a majority of the Board (based upon the advice of outside legal counsel), such service on the audit committee would violate any applicable laws or applicable listing rules.

(g) The Company and the Board shall ensure, to the extent lawful, at all times that the Articles and corporate governance policies and guidelines of the Company are not at any time inconsistent with this Section 2.

(h) The Shareholders acknowledge and agree that all Directors (including the UAC Directors) shall be subject to the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics.

3. Removal of UAC Directors. Bioceres and each Shareholder also agree to vote, or cause to be voted, all Ordinary Shares owned by them, or over which they have voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that no UAC Director appointed pursuant to Sections 2(a) of this Agreement may be removed from office unless such removal is for cause and approved pursuant to Section 5(c) of the Articles.

4. Corporate Opportunities. The parties hereto agree that the Shareholders and their Affiliates (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) shall be able to engage in a competitive business and renounce certain corporate opportunities offered to such Shareholders or their Affiliates (other than the Company and its subsidiaries), so long as such corporate opportunities are not expressly offered to such Shareholders in their capacities as a UAC Directors; provided, however, that to the extent that a Shareholder acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for the Company, as a result of acting in his or her capacity as a UAC Director, then such Shareholder shall present such opportunity to the Company and may not pursue such opportunity for itself, or direct such opportunity to another person, unless the Company has declined to pursue such opportunity; provided further, that the Company acknowledges and agrees that Mr. Juan Sartori is currently engaged in other agricultural businesses in Latin America and that nothing in this Section 4 shall prevent Mr. Sartori from conducting his business affairs in the ordinary course from the date of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, considering and pursuing future corporate opportunities, so long as such opportunities are not presented to him explicitly in his capacity as a UAC Director.

5. General Covenants of the Company. The Company agrees to use its best efforts, within the requirements of applicable law, to ensure that the rights granted under this Agreement are effective and that the parties enjoy the benefits of this Agreement.
