	Re:	Consulting Services, Separation Agreement and Release 

 Dear Eric: 

As discussed, you and Arcadia Biosciences, Inc. (“Arcadia” or the “Company”) have mutually
agreed that your employment with Arcadia shall terminate effective as of March 1, 2016 (the “Termination Date”). The purpose of this Consulting Services, Separation Agreement and Release letter
(“Agreement”) is to set forth the terms and conditions of your consulting services and the specific separation benefits that Arcadia will provide you in exchange for your agreement to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. You and Arcadia agree that for the purpose of determining severance benefits, the termination of your employment shall be deemed a termination without cause pursuant to the Severance and Change in Control Agreement between you and the
Company executed on May 11, 2015 (“2015 Severance Agreement”), and that the benefits set forth in Sections 2(a)-(d) and 3(a) of this Agreement are merely restating the termination without cause benefits of the 2015
Severance Agreement (and this Agreement is not intended to provide a double recovery of the same benefits). To the extent there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the 2015 Severance Agreement, this Agreement shall govern and control.

 By your signature below, you agree to the following terms and conditions: 

1. End of Employment and Consultant Service Period. 

a. End of Employment. You agree that you will cease to be President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective as of
February 11, 2016, and that as of that date you also ceased to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Company has agreed, however, that your employment as an employee with Arcadia will
terminate on the Termination Date. After February 11, 2016, you will not hold yourself out as representing the Company or otherwise attempt to bind the Company to any contractual arrangements. You acknowledge that you will reasonably cooperate
in removing yourself from any role in the Company or in any affiliated entity of the Company.

 b. Consulting Services. Following your Termination Date, you will continue to be available
to perform services for the Company (if requested by the Company) as a consultant to the Company. Your consulting relationship with the Company will continue until March 1, 2017; provided that either you or the Company may end your consulting
relationship at any time, for any reason, and provided further that you and the Company may agree to continue your consulting relationship beyond March 1, 2017 by entering into a new written consulting agreement with the Company. The period from the
Termination Date through March 1, 2017 or, if earlier, the last day of your service as a consultant to the Company, is referred to herein as the “Consultant Service Period”. During the Consultant Service Period, you
will be expected to permit the Company to learn about and use your knowledge, expertise, and experience gained during your employment and advise and assist the Company in the training and orientation of your replacement. The Company shall have the
right to consult with you, upon reasonable advance notice, for up to 10 hours each calendar month during the Consultant Service Period, provided that such consulting services shall not unreasonably interfere with your then-current activities, and
you shall exercise reasonable efforts to fulfill the Company’s consulting requests in a timely manner, notwithstanding your personal and other business commitments. The Company knows, understands and agrees that you may perform the consulting
services under this Agreement off-site, by e-mail and/or by telephone and that your presence on-site is not required to perform the consulting services; provided further, however, upon reasonable request by the Company, you agree to participate in
on-site meetings periodically with the Company management or staff as part of performance of your consulting services. Your consulting services shall in no way prohibit or otherwise impair your right and ability to find and commence alternative
employment or to provide consulting services to another organization (subject to any existing confidentiality and nonsolicit obligations you owe to the Company, which shall be modified appropriately to reflect the fact that you may serve as a
consultant or employee to other entities during the Consultant Service Period). You will be fully indemnified by the Company and you will be covered by the Company’s Director’s & Officers liability insurance coverage to the maximum
extent permitted by law for any services that you may be asked to render during the Consultant Service Period. 
 c. Consulting
Compensation. You will be compensated during the Consultant Service Period for your services rendered at the rate of $500/hour. Your services as a Consultant may be requested only by the Company’s President and CEO (or any Interim President
and CEO), the Replacement President and CEO, or the Board. During the Consultant Service Period, you shall continue to vest with respect to any outstanding options to purchase common stock of the Company, and Arcadia agrees that if Arcadia
terminates the Consultant Service Period prior to the date that you become fully vested in your outstanding options to purchase common stock of the Company, then your outstanding unvested options to purchase common stock of the Company shall fully
vest as of the date that the Consultant Service Period ends. 
 d. Reimbursement of Consulting Expenses. Pursuant to and in
accordance with the Company expense policies then in effect, the Company shall promptly reimburse you, upon receipt of reasonable documentation, for all out-of-pocket expenses necessarily incurred by you, including reasonable expenses for travel and
accommodations (but, in each case, only to the extent that you have been requested or authorized, in accordance with the terms hereof, to incur such expenses in relation to your consulting services) for the purpose of providing any consulting
services required hereunder.

 e. Status as a Consultant. You will not be, and will not be treated as, an employee of the
Company for any purpose with respect to such consulting services, including for purposes of any of the Company’s benefit plans. You acknowledge and agree that as a consultant, you will be an independent contractor to the Company. 

2. Accrued Benefits. 
 a.
Upon your receipt of your final paycheck on the Termination Date, which will include payment for services for the final payroll period through the Termination Date, you will have received all wages owed to you by virtue of your employment with
Arcadia or termination thereof. 
 b. Upon your receipt of payment in the amount of $62,885, less required deductions and withholding, which
represents payment for 327 hours of accrued and unused vacation or personal-time-off as of the Termination Date at your regular rate, you will have received all other accrued compensation owed to you by virtue of your employment with Arcadia. 

c. You acknowledge and agree and the Company agrees that you will be reimbursed for business expenses consistent with Company policy and
practice. You will submit any receipts for unreimbursed business expenses within 30 days of the Termination Date. 
 d. The COBRA period for
continuation of your insurance coverage under Arcadia’s group plans will begin on the first day of the month immediately following the Termination Date. Information regarding your right to elect COBRA coverage will be sent to you via separate
letter. Your rights to COBRA continuation coverage are set forth in the 2015 Severance Agreement, Section 3(a)(iii). 
 e. You are not
eligible for any other payments or benefits by virtue of your employment with Arcadia or termination thereof except for those expressly described in this Agreement. You will receive the payments described in this Sections 2(a)-(c) whether or
not you sign this Agreement. You will receive the COBRA continuation benefit (other than as required by law) described in Section 2(d) and the separation pay described in Sections 3 of this Agreement only if (i) you sign this Agreement and
do not revoke it as permitted below, and (ii) you do not violate any of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. All payments and benefits described in this Agreement are subject to payroll taxes, withholdings, and deductions. 

3. Separation Pay and Benefits. Specifically in consideration of your signing this Agreement, both in connection with the Termination
Date, and subject to the limitations, obligations, and other provisions contained in this Agreement, Arcadia agrees to:

 b. extend the post-termination exercise period on all of your outstanding options to purchase

earlier as a result of your termination of continuous service with the Company; and 
 c. pay you a cash bonus for calendar year 2015 of
$60,000, which you acknowledge and agree is in full payment of any bonus payments under the Company’s bonus plans or programs to which you may be entitled, which bonus will be paid the first payroll period following receipt by the Company of
your executed copy of this Agreement and the termination of any revocation period. 
 4. Release of Claims. Specifically in
consideration of the separation pay, extension of the post-termination exercise period on your Options, benefits, consulting services arrangement, and other good and valuable consideration, and to which you would not otherwise be entitled, by
signing this Agreement you, for yourself and anyone who has or obtains legal rights or claims through you, agree to the following:

will not at any time use or disclose, directly or indirectly, to any other entity or person, any confidential or proprietary information of Arcadia, unless such information becomes publicly known other than through your breach of this Agreement,

available legal and equitable remedies. If Arcadia breaches any term of this Agreement, you will be entitled to your available legal and equitable remedies.

12. Enforceability. If a court finds any term of this Agreement to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, the parties agree that the court
will modify such term to make it enforceable to the maximum extent possible. If the term cannot be modified, the parties agree that the term will be severed and all other terms of this Agreement will remain in effect. 

13. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. 

14. Full Agreement. This Agreement contains the full agreement between you and Arcadia and may not be modified, altered, or changed in

 15. Acknowledgment of Reading
and Understanding. By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have read this Agreement, including the release of claims contained in Section 4, and understand that the release of claims is a full and final release of all

been threatened or asserted against the Company that are not already known to in-house legal counsel or (2) any fraud or suspected fraud involving the Company, management or other employees.

with negotiating and finalizing this Agreement, provided that such fees and costs do not exceed $10,000.

 18. Section 409A. The severance benefits and other payments payable under this
Agreement are intended to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”) or comply with its
requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly. Severance benefits shall not commence until you incur a “separation from
service” for purposes of Section 409A. Each installment of severance benefits is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i), and the severance benefits are intended to satisfy the exemptions
from application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). If such exemptions, however, are not available and you are, upon separation
from service, a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the severance benefits payments shall be delayed
until the earlier of (i) six (6) months and one day after your separation from service, or (ii) your death. 
 Thank you for your service to
Arcadia. We wish you well in your future endeavors.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AGREEMENT 







 ARCADIA BIOSCIENCES, INC. 

EMPLOYEE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND 

INVENTIONS AGREEMENT 
 In partial
consideration and as a condition of my employment or continued employment with Arcadia Biosciences, Inc., (which together with any parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or successor is hereinafter referred to as the “Company”), and
effective as of the date that my employment with the Company first commenced, I hereby agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Noncompetition. 

 During my employment with the Company, I will perform for the
Company such duties as it may designate from time to time and will devote my full time and best efforts to the business of the Company and will not, without prior written approval of (i) an officer of the Company if I am not an executive
officer of the Company or (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company if I am an executive officer of the Company, (a) engage in any other professional employment or consulting, or (b) directly or indirectly participate in or assist
any business which is a current or potential supplier, customer, or competitor of the Company. 
  

	2.	Nonsolicitation. 

 During the term of my employment by the Company, and for twelve
months thereafter, I shall not directly or indirectly, either alone or in concert with others, without the prior written consent of the Company, solicit, recruit, encourage or induce any employees, directors, consultants, contractors or
subcontractors of the Company to leave the employ of the Company, either on my own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity. 
  

	3.	Confidentiality Obligation. 

 I will hold all Company Confidential Information in
confidence and will not disclose, use, copy, publish, summarize, or remove from the premises of the Company any Confidential Information, except (a) as necessary to carry out my assigned responsibilities as a Company employee, and
(b) after termination of my employment, only as specifically authorized in writing by an officer of the Company. “Confidential Information” is all patient health information, information related to any aspect of the

 Further I acknowledge that patients provide personal information with the expectation that it will be kept confidential and used
only by authorized persons as necessary. As such, I shall and agree that I must treat all services provided to patients as private and confidential. All personally identifiable information which may be provided by patients or regarding medical
services provided to patients, which the employee may be given access to while employed or affiliated with the Company and in whatever form such information may exist, including oral, written, printed photographic and electronic formats
(collectively, the “Patient Health Information (PHI)”) is strictly confidential and is protected by federal and state laws and regulations that prohibit its unauthorized use or disclosure. 

Further, I agree that, except as authorized in connection with assigned duties, I will not at any time use, access or disclose any PHI to any person
(including but not limited to coworkers, friends and family members). I understand that this obligation remains in fall force during the entire term of my employment and continues in effect after such employment terminates. 

I acknowledge that I may be required to read, recognize and comply with additional legal confidentiality requirements as required by the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). 
  

	 	4.	Information of Others. 

 I will safeguard and keep confidential the proprietary
information of customers, vendors, consultants, and other parties with which the Company does business to the same extent as if it were Company Confidential Information. I will honor, and comply and act in accordance with, the terms and conditions
of any and every agreement entered into by the Company whereby the Company has agreed to keep confidential the proprietary information of others. I will not, during my employment with the Company or otherwise, use or disclose to the Company any
confidential, trade secret, or other proprietary information or material of any previous employer or other person, and I will not bring onto the Company’s premises any unpublished document or any other property belonging to any former employer
without the written consent of that former employer. 
  

	 	5.	Company Property. 

 All papers, records, data, notes, drawings, files, documents,
samples, devices, products, equipment, or other materials, including copies and in whatever form, relating to the business of the Company that I possess or create as a result of my Company employment, whether or not confidential, are the sole and
exclusive property of the Company. In the event of the termination of my employment, I will promptly deliver all such materials to the Company and will sign and deliver to the Company the “Termination Certificate” attached hereto as
Exhibit A.

	 	6.	Ownership of Inventions. 

 All inventions, ideas, designs, circuits, schematics, formulas,
algorithms, trade secrets, works of authorship, mask works, developments, processes, techniques, improvements, and related know-how (including anything that derives actual or potential economic value from not being generally known to the public or
to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure) which results from work performed by me, alone or with others, on behalf of the Company or from access to the Company Confidential Information or property whether or not patentable,
copyrightable, or qualified for mask work protection (collectively “Inventions”) shall be the property of the Company, unless otherwise documented by prior agreement in writing, and, to the extent permitted by law, shall be
“works made for hire.” 
 I hereby assign and agree to assign to the Company or its designee, without further consideration my entire right,
title, and interest in and to all Inventions, other than those described in Paragraph 7 of this Agreement, including all rights to obtain, register, perfect, and enforce patents, copyrights, mask work rights, and other intellectual property
protection for Inventions. I will disclose promptly and in writing to the individual designated by the Company or to my immediate supervisor all Inventions which I have made or reduced to practice. During my employment and for four years after, I
will assist the Company (at its expense) to obtain and enforce patents, copyrights, mask work rights, and other forms of intellectual property protection on Inventions. 
  

	 	7.	Excluded Inventions. 

 Attached as Exhibit J3 is a list of all inventions,
improvements, and original works of authorship which I desire to exclude from this Agreement, each of which has been made or reduced to practice by me prior to my employment by the Company 

 

	 	8.	Patent Applications. 

 If the Company files an original United States patent
application covering any invention of which I am a named inventor, I will receive an inventor’s fee of $100. 
  

	 	9.	Prior Contracts. 

 I represent that there are no other contracts to assign
inventions that are now in existence between any other person or entity and me, unless otherwise noted in writing. I further represent that I have no other employments, consultancies, or undertakings which would restrict and impair my performance of
this Agreement. 

  
 3 









	 	10.	Agreements with the United States Government and Other Third Parties. 

 I
acknowledge that the Company from time to time may have agreements with other persons or with the United States Government or agencies thereof which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding Inventions made during the course of
work under such agreements or regarding the confidential nature of such work. I agree to be bound by all such obligations or restrictions and to take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company thereunder. 

 

	 	11.	No Employment Agreement. 

 I agree that unless specifically provided in another
writing signed by me and an officer of the Company, my employment by the Company is not for a definite period of time. Rather, my employment relationship with the Company is one of employment at will and my continued employment is not obligatory by
either myself or the Company. 
  

	 	12.	Miscellaneous. 

 12.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Arizona excluding those laws that direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. 

12.2 Enforcement. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it shall
be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, in order to achieve the intent for the parties to the extent possible. In any event, all other provisions for this Agreement, shall be deemed valid, and enforceable to the full extent possible.

 12.3 Injunctive Relief; Consent to Jurisdiction. I acknowledge and agree that damages will not be an adequate
remedy in the event of a breach of any of my obligations under this Agreement. I therefore agree that the Company shall be entitled (without limitation of any other rights or remedies otherwise available to the Company and without the necessity of
posting a bond) to obtain an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction prohibiting the continuance or recurrence of any breach of this Agreement. I herby submit myself to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of Arizona for
purposes of any such action. I further agree that service upon me in any such action or proceeding may be made by first class mail, certified or registered, to my address as last appearing on the records of the Company. 

12.4 Mediation. I further agree that the Company, at its option, may elect to submit any dispute or controversy arising out of
or related to this Agreement to mediation and that I will be required to participate in this mediation in good faith. The mediation will take place in Arizona utilizing a mediator mutually acceptable to all Parties. In the event the Parties cannot
agree on a mediator, each Party will chose a

mediator and these two mediators will in turn choose a third mediator to mediate the controversy. The mediator mediating the controversy shall have experience in mediating the issues which are
the subject of the mediation and shall be independent of both Parties. 
 12.5 Attorney’s Fees. If any party seeks to
enforce its rights under this Agreement by legal proceedings or otherwise, the non prevailing party shall pay all costs and expenses of the prevailing party. 

12.6 Waiver. The waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereof. 
 12.7 Binding Effect. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, executors, administrators, heirs, representatives, and assigns of the parties. 

12.8 Headings. The Section headings herein are intended for reference and shall not by themselves determine the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement. 
 12.9 Entire Agreement; Modifications. This Employee Confidential Information
and Inventions Agreement, together with the terms of the Company Employee Personnel Manual, contain the entire agreement between the Company and the undersigned employee concerning the subject matter contained therein and supersede any and all prior
and contemporaneous negotiations, correspondence, understandings, and agreements, whether oral or written, respecting that subject matter. All modifications to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of
such modification is sought. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this document as of the 14th day of August 2003.
