This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is between rEVO Biologics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Marc
Becker (the “Executive”) and is made effective as of the closing of the Company’s first underwritten public offering of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “IPO”), provided the IPO is consummated prior to April 2, 2015 (the “Effective Date”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company
desires to continue to employ the Executive and the Executive desires to continue to be employed by the Company on the new terms and conditions contained herein. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Employment. 

(a) Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until terminated in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3 (the “Term”). 
 (b) Position and Duties. During the Term, the Executive shall serve as the
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and shall have supervision and control over and responsibility for the day-to-day business and affairs
of the Company with respect to the Company’s finances and shall have such other powers and duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer (the “CEO”), provided that such duties are consistent with the Executive’s position or other positions that he may hold from time to time. The Executive shall report to the CEO. The Executive shall devote his full working time
and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may serve on other boards of directors, with the approval of the Board, or engage in religious, charitable or other community activities as long as
such services and activities are disclosed to the Board and do not materially interfere with the Executive’s performance of his duties to the Company as provided in this Agreement. 

2. Compensation and Related Matters. 

(a) Base Salary. During the Term, the Executive’s initial annual base salary shall be $313,500. The Executive’s base salary
shall be redetermined annually by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The annual base salary in effect at any given time is referred to herein as “Base Salary.” The Base Salary shall be payable in a manner that is consistent with the
Company’s usual payroll practices for senior executives. 







 (b) Incentive Compensation. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to receive
cash incentive compensation as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee from time to time. The Executive’s target annual incentive compensation shall be 35 percent (35%) of his Base Salary. To earn incentive compensation,
the Executive must be employed by the Company on the day such incentive compensation is paid. 
 (c) Expenses. The Executive shall be
entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by him during the Term in performing services hereunder, in accordance with the policies and procedures then in effect and established by the Company for its senior
executive officers. 
 (d) Other Benefits. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in or receive benefits
under the Company’s employee benefit plans in effect from time to time, subject to the terms of such plans. 
 (e) Vacations.
During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to accrue paid vacation in accordance with the Company’s applicable policy. 
 3.
Termination. During the Term, the Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated without any breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances: 

(a) Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death. 

(b) Disability. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment if he is disabled and unable to perform the essential
functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of 180 days (which need not be consecutive) in any 12-month period. If any question shall arise as to
whether during any period the Executive is disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions with or without reasonable accommodation, the Executive may, and at the request of
the Company shall, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or the Executive’s guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether the Executive is so disabled or how
long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. The Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such
certification. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit such certification, the Company’s determination of such issue shall be binding on the Executive. Nothing in this Section 3(b) shall be construed to waive
the Executive’s rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq. 

(c) Termination by Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of
this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) the Executive’s commission of any felony or commission of any crime involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude; (ii) the Executive’s commission or attempted commission of or
participation in a fraud or act of dishonesty against the Company; (iii) the Executive’s 

  
 2 








 
material breach of any contract or agreement between the Executive and the Company or the Executive’s material breach of any legal duty he owes to the Company; (iv) conduct by the
Executive that constitutes insubordination, incompetence or neglect of duties; or (v) the Executive’s failure to perform the duties, functions and responsibilities of the Executive’s position; provided, however, the actions or conduct
described in clauses (iv) and (v) above shall only constitute Cause if the Company provides the Executive with written notice thereof and the Executive has not cured within 30 days of such written notice. 

(d) Termination Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time without Cause. Any
termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination for Cause under Section 3(c) and does not result from the death or disability of the Executive under Section 3(a) or
(b) shall be deemed a termination without Cause. 
 (e) Termination by the Executive. The Executive may terminate his employment
hereunder at any time for any reason, including but not limited to Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that the Executive has complied with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined)
following the occurrence of any of the following events without the Executive’s express written consent: (i) a material diminution in the Executive’s responsibilities, authority and function, an adverse change to the Executive’s
job title as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, or a change in the Executive’s reporting relationship that results in the Executive no longer reporting directly to the CEO; (ii) a material reduction in the Executive’s
Base Salary except pursuant to a salary reduction program affecting substantially all of the employees of the Company, provided, that it does not adversely affect the Executive to a greater extent than other similarly situated employees and,
provided further, that any reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary of more than ten percent (10%) shall constitute Good Reason; (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which the Executive must regularly report to work
and provide services to the Company (except for required travel on Company business); or (iv) the material breach by the Company of this Agreement. Good Reason Process” shall mean that (A) the Executive reasonably determines in good
faith that a “Good Reason” condition has occurred; (B) the Executive notifies the Company in writing of the first occurrence of the Good Reason condition within 60 days of the first occurrence of such condition; (C) the Executive
cooperates in good faith with the Company’s efforts, for a period not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”) to remedy the condition; (D) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to
exist; and (E) the Executive terminates his employment within 60 days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred. 

(f) Notice of Termination. Except for termination as specified in Section 3(a), any termination of the Executive’s employment
by the Company or any such termination by the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate
the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon. 
 (g) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall
mean: (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death; (ii) if the Executive’s 

  
 3 








 
employment is terminated on account of disability under Section 3(b) or by the Company for Cause under Section 3(c), the date on which Notice of Termination is given; (iii) if the
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company under Section 3(d), the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; (iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 3(e) without Good
Reason, 30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given, and (v) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 3(e) with Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given
after the end of the Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive gives a Notice of Termination to the Company, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the Date of Termination and such acceleration shall not result in
a termination by the Company for purposes of this Agreement. 
 4. Compensation Upon Termination. 

(a) Termination Generally. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company shall pay or
provide to the Executive (or to his authorized representative or estate) (i) any Base Salary earned through the Date of Termination, unpaid expense reimbursements (subject to, and in accordance with, Section 2(c) of this Agreement) and
unused vacation that accrued through the Date of Termination on or before the time required by law but in no event more than 30 days after the Executive’s Date of Termination; and (ii) any vested benefits the Executive may have under any
employee benefit plan of the Company through the Date of Termination, which vested benefits shall be paid and/or provided in accordance with the terms of such employee benefit plans (collectively, the “Accrued Benefit”). 

(b) Termination by the Company Without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason. During the Term, if the Executive’s employment
is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 3(d), or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 3(e), then the Company shall pay the Executive his Accrued Benefit. In addition,
subject to the Executive signing a separation agreement containing, among other provisions, a general release of claims in favor of the Company and related persons and entities, confidentiality, return of property and non-disparagement, in a form
and manner satisfactory to the Company (the “Separation Agreement and Release”) and the Separation Agreement and Release becoming fully effective, all within the time frame set forth in the Separation Agreement and Release: 

(i) the Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to nine months of the Executive’s Base Salary (the “Severance
Amount”); 
 (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any applicable option agreement or stock-based award
agreement, the portion of the stock options and other stock-based awards held by the Executive that would have vested in the nine months following the termination of the Executive’s employment (the “Vesting Period”) had the Executive
remained employed by the Company during the Vesting Period shall immediately accelerate and become fully exercisable and non-forfeitable on the Date of Termination; 

  
 4 








 (iii) if the Executive was participating in the Company’s group health plan
immediately prior to the Date of Termination and elects COBRA health continuation, then the Company shall pay to the Executive a monthly cash payment for nine months or the Executive’s COBRA health continuation period, whichever ends earlier,
in an amount equal to the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company; and 

(iv) the amounts payable under this Section 4(b) shall be paid out in substantially equal installments in accordance with
the Company’s payroll practice over nine months commencing within 60 days after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the Severance Amount shall
begin to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60-day period; provided, further, that the initial payment shall include a catch-up payment to cover amounts retroactive to the day immediately following the Date of Termination.
Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). 

(v) The receipt of any severance payments or benefits pursuant to Section 4 will be subject to Executive not violating the
Invention and Nondisclosure Agreement and Noncompetition and Non-Solicitation Agreement previously entered into between the Executive and the Company, the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference. In the event Executive breaches Invention
and Nondisclosure Agreement and Noncompetition and Non-Solicitation Agreement, in addition to all other legal and equitable remedies, the Company shall have the right to terminate or suspend all continuing payments and benefits to which Executive
may otherwise be entitled pursuant to Section 4 without affecting the Executive’s release or Executive’s obligations under the Separation Agreement and Release. 

5. Change in Control Payment. The provisions of this Section 5 set forth certain terms of an agreement reached between the
Executive and the Company regarding the Executive’s rights and obligations upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company. These provisions are intended to assure and encourage in advance the Executive’s continued attention and
dedication to his assigned duties and his objectivity during the pendency and after the occurrence of any such event. These provisions shall apply in lieu of, and expressly supersede, the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding severance pay and
benefits upon a termination of employment, if such termination of employment occurs within 12 months after the occurrence of the first event constituting a Change in Control. These provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect
beginning 12 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control. 

  
 5 








 (a) Change in Control. During the Term, if within 12 months after a Change in Control, the
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 3(d) or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 3(e), then, subject to the signing of the Separation
Agreement and Release by the Executive and the Separation Agreement and Release becoming irrevocable, all within 60 days after the Date of Termination, 

(i) the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum in cash in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Executive’s
current Base Salary (or the Executive’s Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, if higher) plus (B) the Executive’s Target Incentive Compensation. For purposes of this Agreement, “Target Incentive
Compensation” shall mean the Executive’s target annual incentive compensation as set forth in Section 2(b); and 

(ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any applicable option agreement or stock-based award agreement, all stock
options and other stock-based awards granted to the Executive shall immediately accelerate and become fully exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the Date of Termination; and 

(iii) if the Executive was participating in the Company’s group health plan immediately prior to the Date of Termination
and elects COBRA health continuation, then the Company shall pay to the Executive a monthly cash payment for 12 months or the Executive’s COBRA health continuation period, whichever ends earlier, in an amount equal to the monthly employer
contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company; and 

(iv) The amounts payable under this Section 5(a) shall be paid or commence to be paid within 60 days after the Date of
Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, such payment shall be paid or commence to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60-day period. 

(b) Additional Limitation. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any
compensation, payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the applicable regulations thereunder (the “Total Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the
“Excise Tax”), the Total Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax but only if (A) the net amount of the Total Payments, as so reduced (and after
subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income and employment taxes on such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (B) the Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state
and local income and employment taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments. Any reduction in the Total Payments shall be made in the following order:
(1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits. To the extent any payment
is to be made over time (e.g., in installments, etc.), then the payments shall be reduced in reverse chronological order. The 

  
 6 








 
determination as to whether the reduction to the Total Payments shall apply shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”),
which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the Date of Termination, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive. For
purposes of such determination, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs, and state and
local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence on the Date of Termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from
deduction of such state and local taxes. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. 

(c) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 5, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

“Change in Control” shall mean “Sale Event,” as such term is defined in the Company’s 2014 Stock Option and Incentive
Plan. 
 6. Section 409A. 

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive
becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation otherwise subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as
a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executive’s
separation from service, or (B) the Executive’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid
during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule. 

(b) All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by
the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable
year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other
taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses). Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

  
 7 








 (c) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes
“non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only
upon the Executive’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). 
 (d) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance
with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with
Section 409A of the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). The parties agree that this
Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder
without additional cost to either party. 
 (e) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive
or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section. 

7. Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the Executive (a) submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to service of process; and
(c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or service of process. 

8. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter. 
 9. Withholding. All payments made by the
Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law. 

10. Successor to the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal
representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. In the event of the Executive’s death after his termination of employment but prior to the completion by the Company of all payments due him under this
Agreement, the Company shall continue such payments to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to his death (or to his estate, if the Executive fails to make such designation). 

  
 8 








 11. Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, any portion or provision of any section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or
provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law. 
 12. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of the
Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms contained herein. 
 13. Waiver. No waiver of any
provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement,
shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. 
 14.
Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its main offices, attention of the Board. 

15. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized
representative of the Company. 
 16. Governing Law. This is a Massachusetts contract and shall be construed under and be governed in
all respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles of such Commonwealth. With respect to any disputes concerning federal law, such disputes shall be determined in accordance with
the law as it would be interpreted and applied by the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. 
 17. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document. 

18. Successor to Company. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Failure of
the Company to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement. 

19. Gender Neutral. Wherever used herein, a pronoun in the masculine gender shall be considered as including the feminine gender unless
the context clearly indicates otherwise.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective on the date and year first
above written.
