 WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Company shall
purchase from KAF, and KAF shall sell and transfer to the Company, the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) held by KAF on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this
Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

Agreement 
 1.
Purchase and Sale; Closing. 
 a. Forward Share Purchase. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4, KAF
shall sell and transfer to the Company, and the Company shall purchase from KAF, up to 1,700,000 Shares that are held by KAF at the closing of the Business Combinations at a per Share price (the “Shares Purchase Price”) equal to (a)
$10.30225 per Share, plus, (b) in the event that the Closing Date occurs after September 8, 2021, $0.05075 per Share for each month (prorated for a partial month) following September 8, 2021. 

b. Closing. Unless otherwise extended as provided in this Section 1(b), the Company shall purchase the Shares on September 8,
2021 (the “Closing Date”). In its sole and absolute discretion, KAF may elect to defer the Closing Date one calendar month at a time by delivering a written notice to the Company no later than two Business Days before the existing
Closing Date; provided, that should KAF fail to deliver the Purchase Notice (as defined below), the Closing Date shall automatically be rolled to the subsequent month. No later than two Business Days before the Closing Date, KAF shall deliver a
written notice to the Company specifying the number of Shares the Company is required to purchase, the aggregate Share Purchase Price and instructions for wiring the Share Purchase Price to KAF (the “Purchase Notice”). The closing
of the sale of the Shares (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, KAF shall deliver the Shares to the Company against receipt of the Share Purchase Price. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in San Francisco,
California. 

 c. Acceleration of Closing. In the event that following the closing of the Business
Combinations, the Company has less than $150 million cash or cash equivalents, then the Company shall deliver a written notice to KAF of such occurrence within ten days of such occurrence and the Closing shall occur two Business Days
thereafter. 
 2. Representations and Warranties of KAF. KAF represents and warrants to the Company as follows, as of
the date hereof: 
 a. Organization and Power. KAF is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its formation and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted. 

b. Authorization. KAF has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by KAF will
constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of KAF enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of
general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. 

c. Governmental Consents and Filings. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation,
declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of KAF in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

d. Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by KAF of this Agreement and the consummation by KAF of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any violation or default (i) of any provisions of its organizational documents, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party or by which
it is bound, (iii) under any note, indenture or mortgage to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iv) under any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound or (v) of any
provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to KAF, in each case (other than clause (i)), which would have a material adverse effect on KAF or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

e. Share Holdings. As of June 3, 2021, KAF held 1,700,000 Shares, none of which have been sold, offered or contracted to be sold,
pledged transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of, directly or indirectly, or hedged, since such date. 
 f. Disclosure of

representations and warranties contained in this Section 2 and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, neither KAF or any person acting on behalf of KAF nor any of KAF’s affiliates (the “KAF Parties”)

warranties expressly made by the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, the KAF Parties specifically disclaim that they are relying upon any other representations or warranties that
may have been made by the Company, any person on behalf of the 
 Company or any of the Company’s affiliates (collectively, the “Company
Parties”). 
 3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to 

KAF as follows: 
 a. Organization and Corporate
Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as presently

Board of Directors in order to authorize the Company to enter into this Agreement has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. All action on the part of the directors and officers of the Company necessary for the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the performance of all obligations of the Company under this Agreement to be performed as of the Closing, has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall
constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or
other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

with respect to the Company, other than information which the Company will promptly publicly disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the entry into this Agreement. 

d. Governmental Consents and Filings. Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by KAF in this Agreement, no consent, approval,
order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, other than the Company is required to file disclosure reports regarding such transactions in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Act (as defined below). 

e. Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any violation or default (A) of any provisions of the Charter, bylaws or other governing documents of the Company, (B) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which the
Company is a party or by which it is bound, (C) under any note, indenture or mortgage to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, (D) under any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which the Company is a party or by
which it is bound or (E) of any provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, in each case (other than clause (A)) which would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its ability to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 f. Adequacy of Financing. The Company will have available to it sufficient funds to
satisfy its obligations under this Agreement. 
 g. No Other Representations and Warranties;
Non-Reliance. Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in this Section 3 and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, none of the Company Parties has made,
makes or shall be deemed to make any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or the Business Combination, and the Company Parties disclaim any such representation or warranty. Except for the specific
representations and warranties expressly made by KAF in Section 2 of this Agreement and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, the Company Parties specifically disclaim that they are relying upon any other representations or
warranties that may have been made by the KAF Parties. 
 4. Additional Agreement by KAF and Acknowledgement of the Company.

 a. Lock-up. Unless otherwise authorized by the Company, KAF agrees to continue to hold, and
not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or hedge (including any transactions involving any derivative securities of the Company and including any Short Sales (as defined below)
involving any of the Company’s securities) the Shares, until the Closing Date. For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO
under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not against the box, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sales contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put
equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Shares may be pledged by Subscriber in connection with a bona fide
margin agreement, which shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Shares hereunder, and Subscriber effecting a pledge of Shares shall not be required to provide the Issuer with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery
to the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. 

  
 3 

 b. Open Market Sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties
agree that KAF shall, after the closing of the Business Combination, have the right but not the obligation to sell any or all of its Shares in the open market if the share price equals or exceeds $10.10 per Share (the “OM Sale
Price”). In furtherance of the foregoing, KAF shall have the right to sell such Shares at any time provided that the price received by KAF (not including any commissions due by KAF for the sale) is at least the OM Sale Price. 

c. Right to Purchase Warrants. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit KAF from entering into a contract to purchase and/or sell
Company warrants. 
 5. Closing Conditions. 

a. The obligation of the Company to purchase the Shares at the Closing under this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to
the Closing of each of the following conditions, any of which, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, may be waived by the Company: 

i. The Business Combinations shall have been consummated; 

ii. The representations and warranties of KAF set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement shall have been true and correct as of the date
hereof and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date, as applicable, with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (other than any such representation or warranty that is made by its
terms as of a specified date, which shall be true and correct as of such specified date), except where the failure to be so true and correct would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its ability to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; 
 iii. KAF shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants,
agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by KAF at or prior to the Closing; and 

iv. No order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, or award shall have been entered by or with any governmental, regulatory, or
administrative authority or any court, tribunal, or judicial, or arbitral body, and no other legal restraint or prohibition shall be in effect, preventing the purchase by the Company of the Shares. 

b. The obligation of KAF to sell and transfer the Shares at the Closing under this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior
to the Closing of each of the following conditions, any of which, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, may be waived by KAF:

The Business Combinations shall have been consummated; 
 ii. All filings that the Company is required to make under the Exchange Act shall
be current, true and accurate. 
 iii. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement shall
have been true and correct as of the date hereof and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date, as applicable, with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (other than any such
representation or warranty that is made by its terms as of a specified date, which shall be true and correct as of such specified date), except where the failure to be so true and correct would not have a material adverse effect on KAF or its
ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; 
 iv. The Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in
all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to the Closing; and 

v. No order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, or award shall have been entered by or with any governmental, regulatory, or

b. automatically if the stockholders fail to approve the Business Combinations. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event this Agreement is

part of KAF or the Company and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, or stockholders and all rights and obligations of each party shall cease; provided, however, that nothing contained in this

c. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing.

 d. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any documents, instruments and writings that are delivered pursuant hereto or

terms, agreements, covenants, representations, warranties, and conditions of this Agreement are binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and are enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors. Nothing in this Agreement, express
or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this

 f. Assignments. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no party hereto may assign either this Agreement or
any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other party. 
 g. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 

h. Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the

 5 

 i. Governing Law. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and
any litigation between the parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its choice of
laws principles. 
 j. Jurisdiction. The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the
state courts of Connecticut and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for Connecticut for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (b) agree not to commence any suit, action
or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in state courts of Connecticut or the United States District Court for the Connecticut, and (c) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or
otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court. 

k. Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any litigation pursuant to this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 l. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any
particular provision, except with the prior written consent of the Company and KAF. 
 m. Severability. The provisions of this
Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any
party hereto or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties hereto agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such
determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will
be enforced. 
 n. Expenses. Each of the Company and KAF will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, financial advisors, legal counsel and accountants. 

o. Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any
provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words
“include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any
other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,”
“hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty,
and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant
relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or
covenant. 
 p. Waiver. No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder,
whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence. 

q. Specific Performance. Each party agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not
performed by the other party in accordance with the terms hereof and that the other party shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

Each Work Order executed by the Parties shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Agreement. The first Work Order is included herein as Exhibit C.
2.COLLABORATION
2.1Overview.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Term, the Parties will collaborate on programs as they may jointly agree related to the Development and Scale Up of Target Cannabinoids (each, a “Program”), with each such Program being described in a written Technical Development Plan executed by both Parties. Each TDP will relate to a single Target Cannabinoid. The Parties expect to undertake at least eight (8) Programs, with each Program relating to a single Target Cannabinoid of the Initial Target Cannabinoids. Ginkgo, itself or through a Subcontractor, will perform the Development and Scale Up of the Target Cannabinoids in accordance with its applicable TDP, including through use of the Foundry IP (“Technical Services”).  The Parties may collaborate on multiple TDPs at any one time, and the TDPs may have different start and end dates. The Collaboration shall be conducted by each Party in good scientific manner, and in compliance with all applicable Laws. Each Party shall maintain laboratories, offices and all other facilities, at its own expense and risk, necessary to carry out its responsibilities under the Collaboration pursuant to each Technical Development Plan.
2.2Technical Development Plans.
19

(a)Overview. Under the Collaboration, each Target Cannabinoid shall be Developed and Scaled Up by the Parties in accordance with this Agreement and a Technical Development Plan.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that a Technical Development Plan has been agreed to for each of the Initial Target Cannabinoids.  Each Technical Development Plan will be used by the JSC (defined below in Article 7) to track progress and to allocate resources. A Technical Development Plan shall only be amended by written agreement of the Parties.
(b)TDPs.  For each TDP, upon its execution by both Parties, such TDP will be incorporated herein by reference and be deemed attached hereto as part of Exhibit A.  As of the Effective Date, there are eight (8) TDPs substantially agreed upon by the Parties (through the [Redacted – Commercially Sensitive Information] JSC meeting) and such TDPs will be attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 through Exhibit A-8 respectively within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.  Each TDP for a Program will (i) set forth the details of the applicable Program mutually agreed by the Parties, including, but not limited to: (A) identification of the specific Target Cannabinoid to which the TDP applies; (B) the technical work plan, including the tasks to be performed, the timeline and duration of such tasks, and the Party responsible for such tasks; (C) the deliverables and Milestones under such TDP; (D) whether a portion of the Technical Services would be provided by a Ginkgo Subcontractor and, if so, the identity of the Subcontractor and whether that portion of the Technical Services will be performed at such other Subcontractor’s facility (for clarity, Ginkgo (and not Cronos) will subcontract and interact with a Third Party Subcontractor in connection with its performance of any portion of the Technical Services for a specific TDP); and (ii) be executed by each of Ginkgo and Cronos.
2.3Development and Scale Up Efforts.
(a)Ginkgo shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop Collaboration Strains that produce Target Cannabinoids in accordance with a Technical Development Plan attached as Exhibit A.
(b)Upon the (i) determination by the JSC that Development under a TDP for a Target Cannabinoid has progressed such that the Initial Milestone Event relating to that Target Cannabinoid is likely to soon occur or (ii) completion of Development activities under a TDP with respect to Collaboration Strains and any other activities required prior to Scale Up that are described in an applicable Work Order so that, as determined by the JSC, it is reasonable to believe that Scale Up will be achieved, in each case (i) and (ii), the Parties will mutually agree on one or more manufacturers, which may include one or more Third Parties, Ginkgo, Ginkgo Affiliates, Cronos, or Cronos Affiliates, to Scale Up production of the corresponding Target Cannabinoid using the relevant Collaboration Strain(s); provided that if the Parties mutually agree that Ginkgo or a Ginkgo Affiliate will perform any Scale Up production, such Scale Up production will be governed by the applicable Work Order. If necessary, Ginkgo will transfer Collaboration Strains to the agreed upon Person(s) in accordance with Section 2.8(b). Ginkgo shall have the right to independently engage the agreed upon Person(s) for such Scale Up, provided that Cronos shall reimburse Ginkgo for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket direct costs incurred by Ginkgo in connection with the Scale Up pursuant to Section 5.2. When reasonably requested by Ginkgo, Cronos shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist Ginkgo in performing the Development and Scale Up activities under the Collaboration. 
20

(c)Ginkgo shall not commence any portion of Development or Scale Up activities (including, without limitation, any materials transfer pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof) requiring regulatory approvals and permits until Ginkgo has obtained such regulatory approvals and permits (including, without limitation, US Drug Enforcement Agency registration and applicable U.S. state agency approvals) required for Ginkgo to legally and validly perform the Development and Scale Up. For clarity, where portions of Development or Scale Up activities do not require regulatory approvals and permits, or to the extent that Ginkgo has already obtained certain regulatory approvals and permits, Ginkgo shall perform such portions of the Development or Scale Up activities permitted under applicable Law upon the execution of any TDPs. 
2.4Manufacturing and Commercialization. Where, as determined by the JSC, (x) Development under a TDP for a Target Cannabinoid has progressed such that an Initial Equity Milestone Event relating to that Target Cannabinoid is likely to soon occur or (y) the successful completion of all R&D Milestones and Other Equity Milestone Events under a TDP is likely to soon occur:
(a)Ginkgo shall present the JSC with a reasonable number of candidate Collaboration Strains for Manufacturing the Target Cannabinoid of the TDP. The JSC will select [Redacted – Commercially Sensitive Information] Collaboration Strains, from the candidates presented, to be transferred in accordance with Section 2.8(c). For greater clarity, (i) [Redacted – Commercially Sensitive Information] Collaboration Strains may be transferred per Equity Milestone Event relating to a TDP, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties and (ii) the transfer of Collaboration Strain(s) pursuant to clause (x) of Section 2.4 with respect to a TDP will not terminate the ongoing Development activities under such TDP.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within six (6) months following the selection of Collaboration Strain(s) for Manufacturing the Target Cannabinoid of a TDP pursuant to clause (y) of Section 2.4, such Collaboration Strain(s) shall replace any other selected Collaboration Strain(s) earlier selected by the JSC pursuant to clause (x) of Section 2.4 for such TDP and such formerly selected Collaboration Strain(s) shall no longer be “Collaboration Strain(s)” under this Agreement or deemed to be a Collaboration Strain selected under this Section 2.4(a). With respect to Collaboration Strains, Cronos is solely permitted to maintain (1) seed banks of all Collaboration Strains selected and not replaced under this Section 2.4(a) and (2) an archival copy of all current and former Collaboration Strains, including in the case of clause (2), all Collaboration Strains replaced by a subsequent selection, in each case clause (1) and (2), for record-keeping purposes. 
(b)Cronos shall select one or more manufacturers, which may include one (1) or more Third Parties, Ginkgo, Ginkgo Affiliates, Cronos itself, or Cronos Affiliates, to Manufacture and Commercialize each Cronos Product from a Collaboration Strain transferred pursuant to Section 2.4(a). If Cronos selects Ginkgo or a Ginkgo Affiliate to perform any Manufacturing services related to a Cronos Product, such services will be governed by the applicable Work Order, provided that if the Parties cannot agree on the terms of a particular Work Order, Ginkgo or Ginkgo Affiliates, as applicable, will have no obligation to perform services thereunder. Costs and expenses associated with the services to be performed under such Work Order shall be paid in accordance with Section 5.8. Subject to the terms of Section 5.8, 
21

Cronos shall bear all costs associated with (1) the Manufacture of Target Cannabinoids and (2) Commercialization of Cronos Products.
2.5New Target Cannabinoids.  Cronos may propose to the JSC that a Non-Target Cannabinoid be deemed a New Target Cannabinoid hereunder, and upon mutual written agreement of the Parties and the execution of a Technical Development Plan (which written agreement and/or Technical Development Plan will include additional financial and Development terms for such New Target Cannabinoid), such Non-Target Cannabinoid will become a New Target Cannabinoid hereunder.
2.6Freedom to Operate (“FTO”). During the Term, the Parties will cooperate to ensure that the use of any Collaboration Strains for Scale Up pursuant to Section 2.3(b), on a reasonable search and analysis, will not infringe any valid IP of any Third Parties (“FTO”). Such cooperation may include, as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, conducting patent database searching or legal analysis (the costs of which will be mutually agreed upon and equally shared by the Parties).  The Parties shall discuss FTO in confidence and shall cooperate, in light of their common interest therein, to take appropriate measures, including, without limitation, obtaining licenses, designing non-infringing alternatives, or attacking the validity or enforceability of such Third Party rights.  For clarity, ensuring FTO with respect to any particular item of Third Party IP means arriving at a mutual judgment, not to be unreasonably withheld by either Party, that a tribunal is more likely than not to conclude, upon reasonable analysis, that the Third Party IP is not infringed by the Collaboration Strain or its use or that the Third Party IP is invalid.
2.7Exclusive Collaboration. With respect to each Target Cannabinoid, commencing on the Original Effective Date and continuing until the earlier of:
(a)ten (10) years from the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3;
(b)two (2) years following the termination of a TDP for such Target Cannabinoid pursuant to Section 8.2(b), unless (1) another TDP exists for such Target Cannabinoid, (2) Cronos has completed the payments and/or issuance required in the event of a No-Go decision with respect to such Target Cannabinoid pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(ii), in which case Section 2.7(c) applies, or (3) an Equity Milestone Event with respect to such Target Cannabinoid has occurred, in which case Section 2.7(d) applies; 
(c)five (5) years following the completion of the payments and/or issuance required in the event of a No-Go decision with respect to such Target Cannabinoid pursuant to Section by 8.2(b)(ii), unless an Equity Milestone Event with respect to such Target Cannabinoid has occurred, in which case Section 2.7(d) applies; or
(d)ten (10) years following the last Equity Milestone Event achieved (which, for clarity, could be either an Initial Equity Milestone Event or an Other Equity Milestone Event) with respect to such Target Cannabinoid, 
the Breaching Party will not, in the case of Section 2.7(a), and neither Party will, in the case of Sections 2.7(b)(d), contract with a Third Party for the Development, Scale Up, Manufacture, or Commercialization of any microbial organisms for that Target Cannabinoid without express written permission from the other Party; provided, however, that Cronos may purchase from a 
22

Third Party commercially available Cannabinoids, regardless of the source of such Cannabinoids, and Cronos shall not be restricted from commercializing products incorporating such Cannabinoids. For greater clarity, in respect of any Target Cannabinoid that results in an Equity Milestone Event, the time period set out in subsection (d) will apply, not the time periods set out in subsections (b) or (c). 
2.8Materials Transfer. 
(a)To facilitate the Collaboration and subject to applicable Law, either Party may provide materials (including, without limitation, Cronos Material Samples) to the other.  Except as explicitly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all such materials shall be considered the Confidential Information of the Party providing such material and shall be used by the receiving Party solely for purposes of exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement. Any and all compounds, biological materials, reagents, assays, and other materials that are provided by one Party to the other Party hereunder and that are not entirely consumed during the Collaboration, as well as any Confidential Information relating thereto, shall all be returned to the providing Party or destroyed promptly upon the completion of the Collaboration, except as otherwise explicitly provided herein with respect to particular materials. The destruction of such materials shall be certified in writing. Except with the prior written consent of the other Party, a Party shall not make any such materials provided by the other Party available to Third Parties.
(b)To facilitate the Scale Up of any Target Cannabinoid, Ginkgo will transfer to the Person(s) selected in Section 2.3(b), at such time as set forth in Section 2.3, a seed bank sufficient to support Scale Up of the Target Cannabinoid, from Collaboration Strains agreed upon by the JSC (a “Scale Up Transfer”). Ginkgo will provide to such Person(s) a limited, site-specific license to the transferred Ginkgo Background IP, Collaboration Strains, and Collaboration Strain and Process IP, solely for the time reasonably necessary and solely to the extent required to Scale Up said Target Cannabinoid using the transferred Collaboration Strains. The Scale Up Transfer will be effected pursuant to a strain transfer agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to Ginkgo and Cronos. Between Ginkgo and Cronos, Cronos will bear all costs associated with such Scale Up Transfer. The scope of a Scale Up Transfer may be modified and qualified by the contents of an applicable Work Order.  For clarity, Cronos’ ability to maintain a seed bank transferred under a Scale Up Transfer is subject to and limited by the last sentence of Section 2.4(a).
(c)To facilitate the Manufacture and Commercialization of each Target Cannabinoid, Ginkgo will transfer to the Person(s) selected in Section 2.4(b), at such time as set forth in Section 2.4, a seed bank sufficient to support Manufacture of that Target Cannabinoid of the Collaboration Strain selected in Section 2.4(a) (a “Manufacture Transfer”). The Manufacture Transfer will be effected pursuant to a strain transfer agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to Ginkgo and Cronos. For clarity, the Manufacture Transfer will be documented in strain transfer agreements on a Collaboration Strain by Collaboration Strain basis. If the Person selected in Section 2.4(b) is not Cronos, the Person will be granted a sublicense pursuant to Section 4.2, to be documented in the strain transfer agreement to effect the Manufacture 
23

Transfer. Between Ginkgo and Cronos, Cronos will bear all costs associated with such Manufacture Transfer. If the Person selected in Section 2.4(b) is in possession of sufficient quantities of the relevant Collaboration Strain for the Manufacture of Target Cannabinoids due to such Person having performed Scale Up activities, then no additional transfer will be required, provided that the strain transfer agreement for the Scale Up Transfer covers Manufacturing activities.  For clarity, Cronos’ ability to maintain a seed bank transferred under a Manufacture Transfer is subject to and limited by the last sentence of Section 2.4(a).
2.9Collaboration Results.  Once each Calendar Quarter, Ginkgo will provide reports on its technical progress relating to the Development and Scale Up of Target Cannabinoids under all existing TDPs to the JSC.  Such reports will include supporting documents, such as laboratory records, test results, plans, and other data that may reasonably be requested by the JSC. Any information disclosed by Ginkgo to Cronos pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be considered Confidential Information of Ginkgo and may be used only in accordance with rights expressly granted under this Agreement.  The JSC may also agree to other meetings or other conferences as deemed reasonably necessary by members of the JSC.
2.10Collaboration Records.  Ginkgo and Cronos shall each maintain complete and accurate records of all of its work conducted in the performance of the Collaboration and all results, data, inventions, and developments made in the performance of the Collaboration. Such records shall be in sufficient detail to support patent prosecution and enforcement and submission to FDA and other regulatory authorities and shall be kept in accordance with good scientific protocol.  The Parties shall make such records available to the JSC or the project coordinators upon reasonable request and shall retain such records for the longer of (a) at least six (6) years following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, (b) until six (6) years after the expiration of any Patent Right within Foreground IP, or (c) for such longer period as may be required by applicable Law.
2.11Subcontracting.  Either Party may subcontract to Affiliates or other Third Parties (“Subcontractors”) any of its obligations under this Agreement.  Any such subcontract shall be subject to the relevant terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall contain (i) confidentiality terms no less stringent than those set forth in Article 9 hereof, (ii) representations and warranties of the Subcontractor consistent with those set forth in Section 10.1(i) hereof and (iii) assignment of inventions provisions consistent with the requirements of this Agreement.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing or expressly provided herein, any fees or costs due to any such Subcontractor shall be at the sole expense of the Party engaging the relevant Subcontractor.  For clarity, a Third Party who is merely a vendor providing goods or services (e.g., for synthesis of oligonucleotides) and is not delegated responsibility for performing under this Agreement is not a Subcontractor.
2.12Compliance with Anti-Corruption Law.  In carrying out their responsibilities and exercising their rights under this Agreement, the Parties shall comply with all applicable anti-corruption Laws in the countries where the Parties have their principal or other places of business and where they conduct activities under this Agreement.
2.13Certain Covenants regarding Anti-Corruption.  Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that neither it nor any of its directors, employees, agents, or consultants will directly or indirectly pay or give or promise to pay or give anything of value to any government official or a foreign public official for purposes of (a) influencing any act or decision of any such person in his official capacity; (b) inducing such person to do or omit to do any act in violation of the lawful duty of such official; (c) securing any improper advantage; or 
24

(d) inducing such person to use his position to affect or influence any act or decision of government or any legislative, administrative, public agency or other public body, in all cases with respect to any activities undertaken relating to this Agreement.  Additionally, the Parties will make reasonable efforts to comply with requests for information, including answering questionnaires and narrowly tailored audit inquiries, to enable the other Party to ensure compliance with any applicable anti-corruption Laws.
2.14Breach of Anti-Corruption Covenants.  The Parties agree that a breach of the anti-corruption commitments in Sections 2.12 and 2.13 shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement and that either Party may immediately seek all remedies available under Law and equity if the covenants under the anti-corruption commitments in Sections 2.12 and 2.13 have been breached by the other Party, without owing to the other any damages or indemnification resulting solely from such termination.
2.15Audit Rights.  Without limiting the generality of Section 2.10 and in addition thereto, Cronos or its professional accountant representatives, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Ginkgo, shall have the right, from time to time and during regular business hours and for a duration not exceeding two (2) Business Days during the Term of this Agreement, but no more than once in any rolling twelve (12)-month period and once following the termination of this Agreement (notwithstanding the foregoing twelve (12)-month restriction), to audit Ginkgo's performance with respect to the delivery of the Technical Services and the amounts charged pursuant to its invoices (each, an “Audit”), and, as reasonably necessary to perform such Audit, Ginkgo shall allow reasonable access by Cronos, its Affiliates and its and their respective representatives to Ginkgo's and its Affiliates’ (solely to the extent such Affiliate has provided Technical Services to Cronos) facilities, books and records relevant to the delivery of such Technical Services and personnel in charge of audits. Ginkgo will use commercially reasonable efforts to enable access to Ginkgo's Subcontractors' books and records. In the event of an Audit, (a) Cronos shall prepare and deliver to Ginkgo a reasonably detailed written statement documenting its findings, and in the event an Audit reveals a discrepancy in the amounts paid by Cronos to Ginkgo from what was actually required to be paid, Cronos shall prepare and deliver to Ginkgo a reasonably detailed written statement documenting such discrepancy and any calculations performed in connection with the discovery of such discrepancy (each, an “Audit Statement”) and (b) Cronos shall permit Ginkgo, its Affiliates and its and their respective representatives to review Cronos’ and its representatives’ and Affiliates’ working papers relating to the Audit and preparation of any Audit Statement for fifteen (15) Business Days upon Ginkgo’s request therefor. Following Ginkgo’s review and confirmation that the Audit was performed properly and to its satisfaction and, if applicable, that the Audit Statement is materially accurate, Ginkgo shall refund Cronos such overpayment, or Cronos shall reimburse Ginkgo for such underpayment, as applicable. The costs of the Audit shall be borne by Cronos, unless the Audit evidences a difference above five percent (5%) between the reported figures by Ginkgo and those which result from such Audit, in which event such reasonable and actually incurred out-of-pocket costs of such Audit shall be borne by Ginkgo. Any information disclosed to or learned by Cronos, its Affiliates, or its representatives in connection with any Audit pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be considered Confidential Information of Ginkgo and may be used only in connection with such Audit. 
2.16Work Orders. Ginkgo shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform any services or activities for which it is responsible under each Work Order.

Each Party shall ensure that any and all employees, consultants, contractors, and others who perform activities under or contemplated by this Agreement do so pursuant to a binding agreement that assigns and/or confirms prior assignment of, his/her/their entire right, title, and interest in any IP to the Party for which such employee or representative is providing his/her services.
3.3Intellectual Property Prosecution and Enforcement.
(a)IP Lead.  Ginkgo will have the sole responsibility, at its sole cost and expense, for the preparation, filing, prosecution (including any reissue proceedings, reexaminations, oppositions, and post-grant administrative proceedings) and maintenance of all patent applications and patents within Ginkgo Background IP, Foundry IP, and all Foreground IP that is not Cronos Foreground IP. Cronos will have the sole responsibility, at its sole cost and expense, for the preparation, filing, prosecution (including any reissue proceedings, reexaminations, oppositions, and post-grant administrative proceedings) and maintenance of all patent applications and patents within Cronos Background IP and Cronos Foreground IP.  Each Party 
26

shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prosecute and maintain all Foreground IP for which it has such responsibility.
(b)Mutual Commitments.  Each Party will be provided with meaningful participation in decisions relating to inventions within Foreground IP.  The Parties will coordinate (via the Joint Steering Committee, as set out in Section 7.1, or designated IP Subcommittee thereof, as set out in Section 7.2) to determine what, if any, unpatented Collaboration Strain and Process IP will be the subject of a patent application. In the event that a Party considers particular Collaboration Strain and Process IP subject matter to be patentable, that Party shall promptly request that the JSC consider filing an application (“Request”).  There shall be a presumption that any subject matter that is not the subject of a prompt Request shall not be the subject of a patent application, although the Parties may agree to the contrary on a case-by-case basis. The Parties will provide timely updates on the status of any patent applications and patents being prepared, prosecuted and/or maintained to the JSC and/or the IP SC. 
(c)Assumption of IP. If Ginkgo decides to abandon the prosecution or maintenance of any patent family or issued patent that is Foreground IP in such a manner as to irretrievably abandon rights in such patent family or patent in any particular jurisdiction, then it shall provide notice of such abandonment to Cronos, and Cronos will have an option to assume responsibility for filing, prosecuting and maintaining such patent family or patent in that jurisdiction, in Ginkgo’s name and at Cronos’ sole cost and expense.  If Cronos decides to undertake such assumption, Cronos will consult reasonably with Ginkgo on (i) the subject matter and contents to claim in such patent family or patent, and (ii) responses to office actions received from patent offices in connection with such patent family or patent, in each case, to ensure harmony with the remainder of the Foreground IP still being prosecuted and maintained by Ginkgo.  For clarity, the abandonment of a pending patent application does not trigger the provision of this section unless there are no other pending members of the same patent family in that jurisdiction.
(d) If the JSC is unable to reach agreement concerning whether to file a patent application directed to the subject matter of a Request provided by Cronos to the JSC pursuant to Section 3.3(b), Cronos will have the option to draft a provisional patent application that will be filed by Ginkgo with the United States Patent & Trademark Office within three (3) months of the Request, unless the Parties agree to a different time. The matter will also be promptly addressed using the dispute resolution procedures under Article 12 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 12.2(c), any dispute whether to file a patent application and the content and subject matter of the proposed application shall be subject to arbitration if the matter cannot be resolved through the procedures set forth in Section 12.1. In the event that the matter is arbitrated, a binding decision must be obtained within nine (9) months of the filing of the provisional application. If the dispute resolution procedures result in a decision that a patent application should be filed, the Parties will collaborate in good faith to prepare an appropriate PCT application that shall be filed by Ginkgo pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.2 and 3.3 and shall claim priority to the provisional application. Until publication of such PCT application, the content and subject matter of the provisional application and the PCT application shall be considered Confidential Information of Ginkgo. If the dispute resolution procedures result in a decision that no PCT application should be filed, then the content and subject matter of the 
27

provisional application will remain Confidential Information of Ginkgo. In such an event, Ginkgo shall, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.1(b), grant Cronos a license to the subject matter of the Request (as documented in the provisional patent application) that shall be exclusive for the relevant Target Cannabinoid(s). The term of the exclusive license shall be twenty (20) years from the date on which the provisional application was filed.
3.4Enforcement of IP.
(a)Notice. Each of Ginkgo and Cronos shall promptly notify the other Party in the event that it becomes aware of: (i) a suspected infringement by any Third Party of any Foreground IP that is patented (“Infringement”); (ii) any patent within the Foreground IP being challenged by a Third Party in any action or proceeding, including without limitation a declaratory judgment action or counterclaim, opposition, reexamination, or post-grant administrative proceeding (“Challenge”); and (iii) any unauthorized use or other misappropriation by a Third Party of any Confidential Information, trade secret, or other unpatented IP of the other Party  (“Misappropriation”).
(b)In the event that (i) any Foreground IP that is patented and exclusively licensed, for any purpose, to a Party pursuant to this Agreement is subject to Infringement, or (ii) any Foreground IP that is patented is subject to Infringement by the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, or import by any Third Party of a Cannabinoid that competes directly with a Cronos Product or a Target Cannabinoid, then the Party that is the owner of such patented IP shall have the first right to enforce the patented IP.  If the owner elects not to enforce the patented IP against such identified infringer(s) within ninety (90) days after notification (or elects to enforce, but fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to do so within a reasonable period of time after the ninety (90)-day period), then the other Party shall have the option, but not any obligation, to enforce such patented IP and may elect to do so within a further ninety (90) days.  Insofar as a Party’s participation is indispensable in any lawsuit brought by the other Party to enforce any such patented IP, such indispensable Party shall join as a party plaintiff, and the Parties shall discuss in good faith the allocation of legal fees and other related costs, as well as distribution of damages, for such enforcement action.  Either Party may join an action brought by the other, insofar as a court permits such joinder, even if such joining Party is not indispensable.  In such a case, the joining Party shall retain its own counsel at its own expense.  No settlement of any such enforcement shall be entered into without consultation between the Parties, regardless of whether both Parties are parties to such enforcement.  In any event, the Parties shall discuss in good faith the distribution of any damages or other awards resulting from such enforcement action. 
(c)In the event of a Challenge to any patented IP that is exclusively licensed, for any purpose, to a Party, including a Challenge that occurs within the context of an enforcement action brought pursuant to Section 3.4(b), the Parties will, within seven (7) days of being served with process or other notice of such Challenge, consult and determine how to proceed with the hiring of counsel and the sharing of legal fees and related costs.  No settlement of any such Challenge shall be entered into without consultation between the Parties, regardless of whether both Parties are parties to such Challenge.  In the event of a Challenge to any patented IP that is 
28

not exclusively licensed to a Party, the owning Party will have the sole and exclusive right to make any decisions concerning the conduct of the Challenge.
(d)In the event of a Misappropriation, the Party that owns the misappropriated unpatented IP shall have the sole and exclusive right to make any decisions concerning the conduct of any litigation or other proceeding that may arise out of such Misappropriation.
3.5Notification of Third Party Claims.  Each Party shall promptly inform the other in writing of any written notice to it of alleged infringement or misappropriation, based upon its performance of its obligations hereunder, of a Third Party’s Intellectual Property rights of which it shall become aware.  Neither Party shall acknowledge to a Third Party the validity of any such allegation or admit liability without the prior written consent of the other.  Each Party shall keep the other advised of all material developments in the conduct of any proceedings in defending any claim of such alleged infringement or misappropriation and shall cooperate with the other in the conduct of such defense.  In no event may either Party settle any such infringement or misappropriation claim in a manner that would limit the rights of the other Party or impose any obligation on the other Party, without such other Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

4.3License Grants to Ginkgo.  Cronos hereby grants to Ginkgo a royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable right to any (a) Cronos Background IP, and (b) Cronos Foreground IP; in each case to the extent necessary, or as determined by the JSC to be materially useful, for Ginkgo to perform its obligations under any TDP or Work Order. 
4.4License Conditions; Limitations. 
(a)Insofar as any rights herein licensed to any Party were obtained by the licensing Party from a Third Party by assignment, license, or otherwise, the licensed rights granted herein are granted subject to any commitments to that Third Party. The licenses and terms thereof relevant to the licensee Party’s exercise of rights pursuant to the licenses granted in Sections 4.1 and 4.3 are set forth in Schedule 4.4, which may be updated from time to time after the Effective Date. The licensing Party under Sections 4.1 and 4.3 will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the rights from assignment, license, or otherwise from the Third Party remain in good standing and will promptly notify the other Party if the such assigned, licensed, or otherwise Controlled rights expire, are terminated, or if any terms thereof are materially altered.
(b)Notwithstanding the exclusive licenses granted pursuant to Section 4.1, Ginkgo for itself and for any of its Subcontractors, reserves the rights under such licensed Intellectual Property to perform itself, and have performed by any such Subcontractor, any activities assigned to Ginkgo under this Agreement.

Accordingly, the Parties intend (a) that each Party will have the benefit of any applicable Law related to insolvency or bankruptcy that protects a licensee from disclaimer or other challenge of the licenses granted to the licensee, (b) any licenses granted by a Party hereunder will survive a bankruptcy under the United States Bankruptcy Code, the filing of a proposal or a notice of intention to make a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or the commencement of proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) in respect of such licensing Party, and (c) subject to applicable Law, the other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect in the event of occurrences set forth in Section 4.6(b).
4.7No Other Rights.  Each Party expressly reserves and retains all rights to all IP, Strains, and other technology not expressly granted to the other Party herein, and no right or license under any IP shall be deemed granted by implication or estoppel.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Party shall receive any rights under this Agreement to own, use or access the Patent Rights or other IP of the other Party.
5.PAYMENTS
5.1Foundry Access Fee.  From and after the Original Effective Date and until the earlier of the date that (a) Ginkgo has achieved all of the R&D Milestones or (b) the Agreement has otherwise been terminated in accordance with Article 8, Cronos will pay to Ginkgo an access fee of US$[Redacted] per Calendar Quarter (the “Foundry Access Fee”) for access to Ginkgo’s proprietary foundry platform; provided that, in any event, regardless of the foregoing duration or any proration or other adjustment as set forth below, Cronos will have paid to Ginkgo not less than an aggregate of US$[Redacted] for such foundry platform access during the Term (the “Floor Foundry Access Fee Amount”) with any shortfall of the Floor Foundry Access Fee Amount not paid as quarterly Foundry Access Fees to be paid by Cronos to Ginkgo at the end of the Term. Notwithstanding Cronos’ obligation to pay the Foundry Access Fee and the Floor 
32

Foundry Access Fee Amount, in the event that Ginkgo, as determined by the JSC, is not able to perform the work contemplated by this Agreement or any Technical Development Plan for a material portion of any Calendar Quarter, whether as a result of a Force Majeure Event or otherwise, Cronos will only be required to pay a pro rata portion of the Foundry Access Fee for the period in which Ginkgo was actually able to perform work under this Agreement or the applicable Technical Development Plan(s). Any unpaid Foundry Access Fee balance for such a Calendar Quarter in which, in accordance with the foregoing, such fees were due to be paid, may be added to the Foundry Access Fee payable for the subsequent Calendar Quarter if Ginkgo undertakes additional work in such subsequent Calendar Quarter to make up the previously unperformed work and the Parties mutually agree at the JSC thereof. 
5.2Pilot Scale Reimbursement. Cronos will reimburse Ginkgo for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket direct costs incurred in Pilot Scale manufacturing of each Target Cannabinoid (“Pilot Scale Costs”); provided that any such Pilot Scale Costs in excess of US$[Redacted] per Target Cannabinoid shall require pre-approval by Cronos to be eligible for reimbursement. Ginkgo shall submit invoices to Cronos for the Pilot Scale Costs, which invoices shall be payable within forty-five (45) days of receipt by Cronos.
5.3R&D Milestone Achievement Payments. Cronos shall pay Ginkgo the payment (each a “Milestone Achievement Payment” and together the “Milestone Achievement Payments”) set forth in Schedule 5.3 for the achievement of the R&D Milestone set forth adjacent to such Milestone Achievement Payment in Schedule 5.3 within sixty (60) calendar days of achievement (as determined by the JSC) of such R&D Milestone.

5.5Blocked Currency.  If by applicable Law or fiscal policy of a particular country, conversion into U.S. Dollars or transfer of funds of a convertible currency to the United States is restricted or forbidden, amounts payable from that country shall be paid to Ginkgo in such country in local currency by deposit in a local bank designated by Ginkgo, unless the Parties otherwise agree. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of U.S. Dollar equivalent in local currency shall be the rate published in The Wall Street Journal New York early edition on the date such conversion is made.
5.6Taxes.  
(a)All payments to be made by Cronos to Ginkgo under this Agreement are exclusive of Indirect Taxes.  If any Indirect Taxes are chargeable in respect of any payments, Cronos shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of any such payments following the receipt of an Indirect Taxes invoice in the appropriate form issued by Ginkgo in respect of those payments.  The Parties shall issue invoices for all amounts payable under this Agreement consistent with Indirect Tax requirements and irrespective of whether the sums may be netted for settlement purposes.
(b)If Ginkgo provides services in Canada for which it receives a Payment, Ginkgo shall specify on the invoice relating to the Payment the proportion of the Payment that is allocable to such services.
33

(c)Any and all Payments made by Cronos under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws.  If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Cronos) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any Payment, Cronos shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable Laws.  Subject to Section 5.6(a), any amount so deducted or withheld shall be considered to be paid to Ginkgo for purposes of this Agreement, and Cronos shall have no further obligation to Ginkgo in respect of such amount of such Payment.
(d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Cronos to a taxing authority pursuant to Section 5.6(c), Cronos shall deliver to Ginkgo a copy of a receipt issued by such taxing authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Ginkgo.
5.7Interest Due.  Without limiting any other rights or remedies available to Ginkgo, Cronos shall pay Ginkgo interest on any payments that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement at an annual rate of one percent (1%) above the prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal on the date such payments first became due, or the maximum applicable legal rate, if less, calculated based on the total number of days payment is delinquent.
5.8Work Order Payments. All payments made pursuant to any Work Order shall be made in accordance with this Section 5.8.
(a)Transfer Price. As consideration for any work performed under a Work Order, Cronos hereby agrees to pay to Ginkgo the amount equal to the Transfer Price of all such activities performed under such Work Order, as set forth in an invoice pursuant to Section 5.8(b).
(b)Invoicing & Reconciliation. As more specifically set forth in Exhibit B, following the end of each calendar month during the Term in which there is an active Work Order, Ginkgo will submit to Cronos an invoice setting forth the Transfer Price to be paid based on the services provided during such calendar month in connection with any active Work Order. Invoices will be submitted electronically to Cronos at Accounts Payable (ap@thecronosgroup.com). Payment of all amounts owed by Cronos pursuant to this Section 5.8 will be remitted to Ginkgo on or before forty-five (45) days from the date the invoice therefor is received by Cronos. The foregoing will not limit Ginkgo’s right to submit corrective invoices in the event there are unbilled amounts owing for services provided (including amounts for which Ginkgo is entitled for compensation or reimbursement as permitted hereunder which were not previously invoiced) or in the event there are overbilled amounts with respect to services provided in which case payment of the amounts owed by Cronos pursuant to this Section 5.8 will be remitted to Ginkgo on or before forty-five (45) days from the date the corrective invoice therefor is received by Cronos.

(q)Any issuance of Shares or cash payment under this Section 6.1 is anticipated to be a Payment for the performance by Ginkgo of research and development to be undertaken exclusively outside of Canada. Cronos acknowledges and agrees that it believes under applicable Tax Laws as of the date hereof (with the exception of any payments to be made by Cronos to Ginkgo in respect of services to be provided by Ginkgo in Canada as invoiced according to Section 5.6(b)), any issuance of Shares or cash payment under this Section 6.1 will not be subject to withholding Tax in any jurisdiction. To the extent that Cronos becomes aware that any issuance of Shares or cash payments made under this Agreement may be subject to withholding Taxes, Cronos shall provide Ginkgo with thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of such withholding requirement, in each instance, along with providing all applicable Tax documentation to Ginkgo, as reasonably requested.  To the extent that any withholding Taxes apply to any issuance of Shares or cash payments made under this Agreement and the obligation on Cronos to deduct or withhold can be relieved (or the obligation to deduct or withhold can be reduced to a lesser amount) on an application for relief, both Parties shall cooperate with each other to enable each of them to more accurately determine its own relevant Tax liabilities and to assist each other to minimize such liabilities to the extent legally permissible (including supporting claims of any treaty benefits).  Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 5.6(a), in the event that it is determined that Cronos is required to withhold Tax in accordance with Section 5.6(c) in connection with an issuance of Shares in respect of an Equity Milestone Event, Cronos may, in its sole discretion, either:
(i)reduce the number of Equity Milestone Shares so issued to take such withholding into account, such that the aggregate of the fair market value of the Shares so issued and the amount of Shares withheld shall be equal to the fair market value of the Shares that would have been issued in respect of such Equity Milestone Event if no such withholding had been made; or
(ii)retain and withhold a number of Equity Milestone Shares having a fair market value not less than the amount of such Taxes required to be withheld and have a broker sell any such Shares on behalf of Ginkgo and deliver the sale 
40

proceeds to Cronos for remittance to the appropriate governmental authority (with any balance over the applicable Taxes being delivered to Ginkgo).
(r)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, within the six (6) month period following the issuance of any Equity Milestone Shares, Ginkgo shall not directly or indirectly execute or effect or cause to execute or effect any short sale, option or equity swap transactions in or with respect to such Equity Milestone Shares or any other derivative security transaction the purpose or effect of which is to hedge or transfer to a Third Party all or any part of the risk of loss associated with the ownership of such Equity Milestone Shares by Ginkgo.
6.2Milestone Cash Election. On or before the date that is thirty (30) days after a Cronos Approved Change of Control, Ginkgo may provide to Cronos a written notice indicating that Ginkgo has elected that it will receive the applicable Milestone Cash Election Amounts in lieu of any of the applicable Equity Milestone Shares that would have otherwise become issuable in connection with any Equity Milestone Events that become achieved following receipt of such written notice (the “Milestone Cash Election”). 
6.3Ginkgo Confirmation Certificate. As soon as practicable following the occurrence of each Equity Milestone Event, Ginkgo shall provide to Cronos a Ginkgo Confirmation Certificate with respect to such Equity Milestone Event together with such other information or documentation that Cronos may reasonably request in order to comply with its obligations under applicable Laws in connection with the issuance of Shares for such Equity Milestone Event without the need to file a prospectus, registration statement or similar document in any jurisdiction. 
6.4Share Certificates. Upon any Equity Milestone Issuance pursuant to Sections 6.1(a) through (p), Ginkgo shall be entered in the share register of Cronos as the holder of the number of Shares so issued, and as soon as practicable thereafter, Cronos shall deliver to Ginkgo a certificate or certificates for such Shares registered in the name of Ginkgo, or such other evidence reasonably acceptable to Ginkgo evidencing that such Shares have been registered in the name of Ginkgo in the share register of Cronos. 
6.5Acknowledgments. Ginkgo acknowledges that:
(a)subject to Section 6.10 below, no Equity Milestone Issuance will be qualified by a prospectus, registration statement or similar document in any jurisdiction and that the Shares issued pursuant thereto are being offered on a “private placement” basis pursuant to one or more prospectus exemptions under applicable securities Laws;
(b)the Shares issuable pursuant to an Equity Milestone Issuance may be subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities Laws; and

6.6Legend. Any certificates or other instruments representing the Equity Milestone Shares issuable upon the occurrence of any Equity Milestone Event shall, if required by applicable Law, contain a restrictive legend substantially to the following effect: 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO ONE OR MORE EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.”; 
together with such other restrictive legend or legends that in the opinion of counsel to Cronos, acting reasonably, may be required by applicable Law.
6.7No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.1, Cronos shall not be required to issue fractional Shares upon any Equity Milestone Issuance. If any fractional interest in a Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be deliverable upon an Equity Milestone Issuance, Cronos shall, in lieu of delivering any certificate representing such fractional interest, make a cash payment to Ginkgo of an amount equal to such fractional interest which would have been issuable multiplied by the Current Market Price of such Share.
6.8Anti-Dilution. The Equity Milestone Factor in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set out below.
(a)If and whenever at any time Cronos shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Shares into a greater number of shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding 
42

Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iii) issue Shares to the holders of all of the outstanding Shares by way of a dividend or distribution (other than the issue of Shares to holders of Shares who have elected to receive dividends or distributions in the form of Shares in lieu of cash), the Equity Milestone Factor in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation or on the record date for such issue of Shares by way of a dividend or distribution, as the case may be, shall in the case of any of the events referred to in (i) and (iii) above be increased in proportion to the number of outstanding Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision, dividend or distribution, or shall, in the case of any of the events referred to in (ii) above, be decreased in proportion to the number of outstanding Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 6.8(a) shall occur. Any such issue of Shares by way of a dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for the dividend or distribution for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Shares under subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 6.8.
(b)If and whenever at any time Cronos shall fix a record date for the issuance of options, rights or warrants to all the holders of its outstanding Shares (other than for the issue of Shares to holders of Shares who have elected to receive dividends or distributions in the form of Shares in lieu of cash) entitling them, for a period expiring not more than forty-five (45) days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Shares (or securities convertible into Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share, as the case may be) that is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Current Market Price on such record date, the Equity Milestone Factor shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the value obtained by multiplying the Equity Milestone Factor in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on such record date plus a number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible securities so offered) by such Current Market Price, and of which the numerator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible, as the case may be). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such options, rights or warrants are not so issued or any such options, rights or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Equity Milestone Factor shall be readjusted to the Equity Milestone Factor which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Equity Milestone Factor which would then be in effect if only the number of Shares (or securities convertible into Shares, as the case may be) actually issued upon the exercise of such options, rights or warrants were included in such fraction, as the case may be.
(c)If and whenever Cronos shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all the holders of its outstanding Shares of (i) shares of any class other than Shares, and other than shares distributed to holders of Shares who have elected to receive dividends or distributions in the form of such shares in lieu of cash dividends, (ii) rights, options or warrants (excluding rights, options or warrants described in (b) above), (iii) evidences of its indebtedness, or (iv) other assets (other than cash) then, in each such case, the Equity Milestone Factor shall be 
43

adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the value obtained by multiplying the Equity Milestone Factor in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be (A) the total number of Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price on such record date, less (B) the fair market value (as (I) agreed by Cronos and Ginkgo or (II) determined by a qualified independent Third Party appraiser reasonably acceptable to both Ginkgo and Cronos, it being agreed that the cost of such Third Party appraiser shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Cronos and fifty percent (50%) by Ginkgo) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed, and of which the numerator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that such distribution is not so made, the Equity Milestone Factor shall be re-adjusted to the Equity Milestone Factor which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Equity Milestone Factor which would then be in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or other assets actually distributed, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event Cronos at any time after the Effective Date fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in cash, then in each such event Ginkgo shall receive, simultaneously with each Equity Milestone Issuance subsequent to such dividend or distribution, a cash amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the amount of the cash Ginkgo would have received if Ginkgo had owned, at the time of such dividend or distribution, the Shares issued pursuant to each such Equity Milestone Issuance by (y) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the Equity Milestone Factor at the time of such record date by (2) the Equity Milestone Factor at the time of such Equity Milestone Issuance.
(d)If and whenever there is a reclassification of the Shares or a capital reorganization of Cronos (other than as described in Section 6.8(a)) or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, binding share exchange or merger of Cronos with or into any other Person or other entity or other combination, in each case pursuant to which the Shares are converted into or acquired for cash, securities or other property; or any sale, or conveyance or other disposition of the property and assets of Cronos as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other Person (other than a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Cronos) or other entity or a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Cronos, then in connection with any Equity Milestone Issuance occurring after the effective time of such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, binding share exchange, merger, sale, transfer, disposition or liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, Ginkgo shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Shares then sought to be acquired by it pursuant to such Equity Milestone Issuance, the kind and amount of cash, the number of shares or other securities or property of Cronos or of the Person or other entity resulting from such reclassification, capital reorganization, change, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, binding share exchange, merger, or to which such sale, transfer, disposition may be made or which holders of Shares receive pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, as the case may be, that Ginkgo would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, binding share exchange or merger, sale, transfer, dispositions or liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, if, on the record date or the effective date 
44

thereof, as the case may be, Ginkgo had been the registered holder of the number of Shares sought to be acquired by it pursuant to such Equity Milestone Issuance and to which it was entitled to acquire upon such Equity Milestone Issuance.  If the relevant transaction causes the Shares to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration, the property deliverable by Cronos pursuant to any subsequent Equity Milestone Issuance in accordance with the above provisions of this Section 6.8(d) will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Shares. The above provisions of this Section 6.8(d) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations, consolidations, amalgamations, arrangements, binding share exchanges or mergers, sales, transfers, dispositions or liquidations, dissolutions or windings-up.
(e)In any case in which this Section 6.8 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, Cronos may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to Ginkgo pursuant to an Equity Milestone Issuance occurring after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Shares issuable pursuant to such Equity Milestone Issuance by reason of the adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that Cronos shall deliver to Ginkgo an appropriate instrument evidencing Ginkgo’s right to receive such additional Shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Shares declared in favor of holders of record of Shares on and after the date of such Equity Milestone Issuance or such later date as Ginkgo would, but for the provisions of this Section 6.8(e), have become the holder of record of such additional Shares pursuant to Section 6.8.
(f)The adjustments provided for in this Section 6.8 are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section.
(g)For the purpose of calculating the number of Shares outstanding, Shares owned by or for the benefit of Cronos shall not be counted.
(h)In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided in this Section 6.8, such question shall be conclusively determined by an independent firm of nationally recognized chartered accountants acceptable to each of Cronos and Ginkgo, acting reasonably, it being agreed that the cost of such accountants shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Cronos and fifty percent (50%) by Ginkgo; and such accountants shall have access to all necessary records of Cronos and any determination made by such accountants shall be binding upon Cronos and Ginkgo.
6.9Standstill Provisions. Following the first issuance of any Equity Milestone Shares hereunder, Ginkgo shall not, at any time when it directly or indirectly holds, beneficially owns or has voting or investment control of any Shares, without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of Cronos (which consent may be given on such terms as the Board of Directors of Cronos may determine): 
45

(a)directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with others, acquire or agree to acquire or make any proposal to acquire, by means of a “take-over bid” (as such term is defined in National Instrument 62-104 – Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids), any securities of Cronos;
(b)directly or indirectly “solicit” any “proxies” (as such terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario) or under U.S. securities Laws) of shareholders of Cronos or its Affiliates, or seek to advise or influence any other person with respect to the voting of any securities of Cronos, or form, join or in any way participate in a proxy group, in each case for any purpose;
(c)otherwise act, alone or in concert or in a group (as defined under U.S. securities Laws) with others, to seek to control the Board of Directors of Cronos or the board of directors of any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Cronos;
(d)have any discussions or enter into any arrangements, understandings or agreements, whether written or oral, with, advise, finance, aid, assist, encourage or act in concert with, any other persons in connection with any of the foregoing; or
(e)publicly or privately announce, disclose, reveal or otherwise evidence any intention or desire to do any of the foregoing.
6.10Registration Rights; 10b5-1 Trading Plan.
(a)Ginkgo acknowledges and agrees that, other than as set forth in this Section 6.10, Cronos shall have no obligation to file any prospectus, prospectus supplement or registration statement in respect of any Equity Milestone Shares or to otherwise register such Shares with the SEC or to qualify their distribution with the securities commissions or other securities regulatory authorities in Canada.
(b)In the event that Ginkgo, in the opinion of counsel to Cronos and Ginkgo, could reasonably be considered an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of Cronos solely as the result of the ownership of Equity Milestone Shares issued to Ginkgo pursuant to this Agreement, Cronos shall, upon written request by Ginkgo, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) file a registration statement with the SEC (the “Registration Statement”), covering the resale by Ginkgo of such Equity Milestone Shares (the “Registrable Securities”), within thirty (30) days following such notice, and (ii) take such steps as are reasonably necessary to have the registration declared effective within ninety (90) days following such notice and to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until all Registrable Securities are sold by Ginkgo.
(c)If Cronos proposes to file a prospectus with the SEC in order to permit the sale of its Shares by a shareholder of Cronos other than Ginkgo, pursuant to an underwritten offering pursuant to registration rights granted to such shareholder, in a form and manner that, with appropriate changes, would permit the offering of Registrable Securities under such prospectus, Cronos shall give reasonable notice of its intention to do so to Ginkgo and shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in the proposed distribution such number of Registrable 
46

Securities (the “Piggy Back Registrable Securities”) as Ginkgo shall request (such offering hereinafter referred to as a “Piggy Back Registration”) within ten (10) days after the giving of such notice from Cronos, upon the same terms (including the method of distribution) as such distribution; provided that (i) Cronos shall not be required to include all such Piggy Back Registrable Securities in any such distribution if Cronos is advised in good faith by the managing underwriter or underwriters that the inclusion of any such Piggy Back Registrable Securities may, in their opinion, have an adverse effect on the distribution or sales price of the securities being offered in such underwritten offering, in which case the number of Piggy Back Registrable Securities shall be reduced pro rata along with all other Shares proposed to be sold in such Piggy Back Registration, and (ii) Cronos may at any time, at its sole discretion and without the consent of Ginkgo, withdraw such prospectus and abandon the proposed distribution in which Ginkgo requested to participate. The failure of Ginkgo to respond within the period referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a waiver of Ginkgo rights under this Section 6.10(c) with respect to such Piggy Back Registration. Ginkgo may also waive its rights under this Section 6.10(c) by giving written notice to Cronos. 
(d)In the event Ginkgo desires to enter into a plan or arrangement to sell Shares that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, Cronos hereby agrees to provide reasonable assistance to Ginkgo in the establishment and execution of such trading plan or arrangement.
6.11Issuance and Listing of Shares.  Cronos will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approvals and take such further actions as may be required by the Toronto Stock Exchange, NASDAQ or any other applicable Law for the issuance and listing of the Shares issuable to Ginkgo pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(a)Cronos will use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy all conditions required by the Toronto Stock Exchange for the listing of the Shares issuable to Ginkgo pursuant to this Agreement.
(b)Cronos will use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy all conditions required by NASDAQ for the listing of the Shares issuable to Ginkgo pursuant to this Agreement.  Cronos shall promptly provide to Ginkgo evidence of confirmation from NASDAQ that NASDAQ has completed its review of a Listing of Additional Shares Notification Form in respect of the Shares, containing no objections to the transactions contemplated herein, following Cronos’ receipt thereof.
6.12Notice of Change of Control.  Cronos shall, promptly upon the occurrence thereof, notify Ginkgo of any Change of Control or any Cronos Approved Change of Control.

7.1Joint Steering Committee.  Ginkgo and Cronos will form a joint steering committee (the “Joint Steering Committee” or “JSC”) comprised of an equal number of representatives from each Party, as further provided below.  The JSC shall oversee the day-to-day conduct of the Collaboration for as long as it continues.
47

(a)Responsibilities. The JSC shall be responsible for overall management of the Collaboration including, without limitation, (i) ensuring regular communication between the Parties, (ii) interpreting, ensuring the establishment of, and monitoring of progress against, each Technical Development Plan, (iii) making  “Go”, “No-Go”, and “Pause” decisions for work performed under a Technical Development Plan in accordance with Section 8.2, (iv) determining successful completion of Milestones, (v) determining when Scale Up activities for each Target Cannabinoid shall begin, including when and which Collaboration Strains should be transferred as part of a Scale Up Transfer pursuant to Section 2.8(b); (vi) pursuant to Section 2.4(a), selecting the Collaboration Strain(s) that will be transferred, as part of a Manufacture Transfer pursuant to Section 2.8(c), for Manufacturing the Target Cannabinoid in connection with an Equity Milestone Event; (vii) approving the seeking of patent protection for Collaboration Strain and Process IP in accordance with Section 3.3(b), including in conjunction with the IP SC; and (viii) determining the scope of any improvements to the applicable IP to be reasonably licensed under Section 4.1, including consideration of IP developed in one TDP that materially improves the Collaboration Strain developed in another TDP.  The JSC shall be responsible for reviewing and approving recommendations, plans, allocation of resources, and other activities to be conducted in support of the Collaboration, and for implementing each Technical Development Plan.  The JSC shall also be responsible for the monitoring, reviewing, and reporting on the progress of the Collaboration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the JSC shall not have the authority to amend this Agreement, but the JSC can validly amend or establish a Technical Development Plan.
(b)Composition.  The JSC shall be co-chaired by a representative of each Party.  Either Party may appoint substitute or replacement members of the JSC to serve as its representatives upon notice to the other Party; provided that the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to maintain continuity in representation on the JSC.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that the members of the JSC were appointed following the Original Effective Date.
(c)Decision Making.  Decisions of the JSC shall be made by unanimous decision with each Party having one (1) vote.  If the JSC is unable to reach a unanimous agreement with respect to any decision within its decision-making authority, Ginkgo shall have final decision-making authority with respect to decisions relating to Development activities and Foreground IP under the Collaboration, including the scope of improvement IP to be licensed under Sections 4.1(b) and 4.1(c). Neither Party shall have final decision-making authority with respect to JSC decisions regarding: (i) determination of successful Milestone achievement; (ii) when to initiate the pilot activities associated with Scale Up; or (iii) the selection of Collaboration Strain(s) pursuant to Section 2.4(a).
(d)Meetings.  The JSC shall meet in-person or by teleconference on a Calendar Quarter basis or more frequently as necessary to make decisions or confirmations required herein or as may be otherwise agreed upon, with each Party to bear all travel and related costs for its representatives.  Draft minutes of the meetings of the JSC will be generated and circulated to its members within thirty (30) days following the JSC meeting, with responsibility for generating and circulating such minutes alternating between the Parties, and such minutes shall be finalized by the JSC promptly thereafter.
48

(e)Subcommittees. As needed, the JSC shall establish subcommittees and other working groups that shall report to the JSC, which shall have an equal number of representatives of Ginkgo and Cronos, to further the objectives of the Collaboration.
7.2IP Subcommittee.  In addition to the JSC, Ginkgo and Cronos will form an IP Subcommittee (“IP SC”) comprised of an equal number of representatives from each Party.  The IP SC shall have responsibility for (a) overseeing the IP aspects of the Collaboration, (b) giving guidance about IP to the JSC, (c) resolving, in the first instance, any IP disputes arising under the Collaboration, including maintaining a register of the IP licensed under Article 4 as to which the JSC has determined that patent protection shall be sought, (d) approving the seeking of patent protection for Collaboration Strain and Process IP in accordance with Section 3.3(b), including in conjunction with the JSC; and (e) any other IP-related tasks or responsibilities established by the JSC.  For the avoidance of doubt, the IP SC shall not have the authority to amend this Agreement or any Technical Development Plan.

Each Party will appoint one (1) of its designees to serve as a project coordinator with responsibility for overseeing the day-to-day activities of the Parties with respect to the Collaboration, for being the primary point of contact between the Parties, and for ensuring that the Parties and their employees and consultants, as applicable, regularly communicate and report all data and results from the Collaboration.
8.TERM AND TERMINATION
8.1Term and Expiration.  This Agreement commenced as of the Original Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Article 8, shall terminate upon the later of the date on which (a) all Technical Services have been completed under all executed and active TDPs and (b) all TDPs have been terminated and there remain no additional TDPs to be negotiated by the Parties. The period of time during which the Agreement is in effect shall be referred to as the “Term”.
8.2Termination of TDP for Failure to Achieve an R&D Milestone or an Equity Milestone Event.  If the JSC determines that Ginkgo has failed to achieve an R&D Milestone or an Other Equity Milestone Event for a particular Target Cannabinoid, within ninety (90) days (or longer, if unanimously agreed by the JSC) of the target date set forth in the applicable TDP for such R&D Milestone or Other Equity Milestone Event, the JSC must make a “Go,” “No-Go,” or “Pause” decision with respect to such TDP. If after ninety (90) days, there is no such determination, then a “No-Go” decision shall automatically go into effect for such TDP, provided however, that where Cronos has informed Ginkgo that Commercialization activities have commenced with respect to the Target Cannabinoid and where the respective Initial Equity Milestone Event has not yet occurred, a “Pause” decision shall automatically go into effect until such Initial Equity Milestone Event occurs, at which time the “No-Go” decision shall automatically go into effect for such TDP, subject to Section 8.2(b)(i). 
(a)“Go” decision.  If, by unanimous decision, the JSC makes a “Go” decision, then the TDP will not be terminated, the licenses granted pursuant to Article 4 and exclusive collaboration provisions of Section 2.7 will remain effective with respect to such Target Cannabinoid and Cronos shall pay Ginkgo the applicable Milestone Achievement Payment whether or not the applicable milestone was actually achieved.   If the applicable Milestone is an Equity Milestone Event, then Cronos shall also make the applicable Equity 
49

Milestone Issuance(s) with respect to such Target Cannabinoid or payment of the applicable Milestone Cash Election Amount(s), as applicable, to Ginkgo pursuant to Article 6. If the JSC amends the applicable TDP to extend an applicable target date in connection with its “Go” decision made pursuant to Section 8.2, then the applicable Milestone Achievement Payment(s) or Equity Milestone Issuance(s) will be made in accordance with such amended TDP.
(b)“No-Go” decision.  Subject to the exceptions in (i) and (ii) of this section below, if the JSC representatives of either Party make a “No-Go” decision, or a “No-Go” decision is automatically in effect pursuant to this Section 8.2, the TDP will be terminated, and Cronos will have no obligation to pay Ginkgo any applicable Milestone Achievement Payment(s) or any Milestone Cash Election Amount(s) (if applicable) or to make the applicable Equity Milestone Issuance.  For purposes of licenses granted to Cronos under Article 4, the Cannabinoid in connection with such terminated TDP shall be deemed a Non-Target Cannabinoid (and not a Cronos Product or a Target Cannabinoid) under this Agreement, and the exclusivity obligations set forth in Section 2.7 shall expire for such Cannabinoid two (2) years following the date of such TDP termination.
(i)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Ginkgo or its JSC representative makes a “Go” decision for such TDP that is not agreed to by Cronos, then such TDP shall not be terminated, but Cronos shall have no obligation to pay Ginkgo any applicable Milestone Achievement Payment(s) or any Milestone Cash Election Amount(s) (if applicable). Ginkgo shall retain the right to achieve the applicable Equity Milestone Issuance(s) for a period of five (5) years from Ginkgo’s “Go” decision date. Ginkgo shall continue to present its Development work on the Target Cannabinoid to the JSC every six (6) months for a re-determination of the status for such TDP pursuant to this Agreement.
(ii)Except as set forth in Section 8.2(b)(i), in the event of a “No-Go” decision for a TDP, or in the event that a “No-Go” decision is automatically in effect pursuant to this Section 8.2 for a TDP, such TDP will be terminated; provided, however, that if an Equity Milestone Event has occurred with respect to the Cannabinoid of such TDP, all licenses granted pursuant to Article 4 with respect to such Cannabinoid will not be terminated (i.e., the Cannabinoid will continue to be deemed a Target Cannabinoid and will not be deemed a Non-Target Cannabinoid), and the exclusivity obligations under Section 2.7(d) with respect to such Target Cannabinoid will remain in place. If no Equity Milestone Event has occurred with respect to the Cannabinoid of such TDP, Cronos may within thirty (30) days accelerate and pay all remaining applicable Milestone Achievement Payments and make fifty percent (50%) of the total Equity Milestone Issuance(s) that is applicable for such Target Cannabinoid (e.g., both the First Equity Milestone Shares and the Ninth Equity Milestone Shares), or pay  fifty percent (50%) of the Milestone Cash Election Amounts (e.g., both the First Milestone Cash Election Amount and the Ninth Milestone Cash Election Amount), as elected by Ginkgo, as if all Milestones applicable to such Target Cannabinoid had been achieved.  In the event of such payments and issuance, as applicable, all licenses granted pursuant to Article 4 with respect to such Cannabinoid will be reinstated (i.e., the Cannabinoid will be deemed a Target Cannabinoid and will not be deemed a Non-Target Cannabinoid), and the 
50

exclusivity obligations under Section 2.7(c) with respect to such Target Cannabinoid will remain in place.
(c)“Pause” decision. If, by unanimous decision, the JSC makes a “Pause” decision, the TDP for a particular Target Cannabinoid will be suspended for period of time unanimously agreed upon by the JSC, at the end of which a “Go” or “No-Go” decision must be made.  During this “Pause” period, Cronos will have no obligation to pay Ginkgo any Milestone Achievement Payment or any Milestone Cash Election Amount (if applicable) or make any Equity Milestone Issuance(s) applicable to such Target Cannabinoid, and if all TDPs during a Calendar Quarter are on “Pause”, pay any Foundry Access Fees in respect of such Calendar Quarter.  For the avoidance of doubt, a “Pause” will have no effect on the license rights and exclusive collaboration obligations applicable to such Target Cannabinoid and set forth herein.
8.3Termination for Terminal Breach. 
(a)If a Party commits a Terminal Breach hereunder and, in the case of those Terminal Breaches specified in Sections 1.158(a) and (c), if such Terminal Breach is not cured by the allegedly breaching Party (“Breaching Party”) within sixty (60) days following delivery of written notice of the breach by the non-breaching Party (“Non-Breaching Party”), the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect upon written notice to the Breaching Party.  Alternatively, and notwithstanding the foregoing, in the sole discretion of the Non-Breaching Party, such Non-Breaching Party may give written notice to the Breaching Party specifying the claimed particulars of such Terminal Breach and providing a cure period of a length in the sole discretion of the Non-Breaching Party after which, if the Terminal Breach is not cured, the Non-Breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately by giving written notice to the Breaching Party to such effect.  Any termination by the Non-Breaching Party under this section and any effects of termination provided herein shall be without prejudice to any damages or other legal or equitable remedies to which the Non-Breaching Party may be entitled from the Breaching Party.
(b)Subject to the rights and protections set forth in Section 4.6 hereof, either Party may terminate this Agreement: (i) effective immediately, if the other Party files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, is adjudged bankrupt, or makes an assignment of its assets for the benefit of its creditors, if a trustee or receiver is appointed by a court for all or a substantial portion of the other Party’s assets, or if a court assumes jurisdiction over the assets of the other Party under United States bankruptcy laws or equivalent laws of another jurisdiction; and (ii) following twenty (20) days’ notice, if the other Party becomes insolvent or becomes unable to pay its debts as and when they fall due.
(c)Ginkgo may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately, if Cronos undergoes any Change of Control other than a Cronos Approved Change of Control.
8.4Mutual Voluntary Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties.

9.NONDISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
9.1Confidential Information. Each Party acknowledges that during the Term of this Agreement, it (“Receiving Party”) may have access to and become acquainted with Confidential Information belonging to the other Party and its Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”), provided pursuant to this Agreement or any TDP.  In addition, each Receiving Party acknowledges that: (i) the Disclosing Party has invested, and continues to invest, substantial time, expense and specialized knowledge in developing its Confidential Information; (ii) the Confidential Information provides the Disclosing Party with a competitive advantage over others in the marketplace; and (iii) the Disclosing Party would be irreparably harmed if the Confidential Information were disclosed to competitors or made available to the public.  Without limiting the applicability of any other agreement to which a Party is subject, no Receiving Party will, directly or indirectly, disclose or use at any time, including use for personal, commercial or proprietary 
55

advantage or profit, either during its association with the other Party or thereafter, any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party which the Receiving Party is or becomes aware.  Each Receiving Party in possession of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party will take all appropriate steps to safeguard such information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss, and theft.  The Parties further acknowledge that Confidential Information has been provided by the Parties to each other prior to the Original Effective Date pursuant to the Existing Confidentiality Agreement.  The Parties agree that as of the Original Effective Date, all such Confidential Information will be protected by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which will replace those of the Existing Confidentiality Agreement.
9.2Permitted Disclosures. Nothing contained in this Article 9 will prevent a Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates from disclosing (and in the case of clauses (e), (f) and (g) below, using) Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party: (a) upon the order of any court or administrative agency; (b) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Party (including, for greater certainty, any stock exchange on which a Party’s securities are then listed); (c) to the extent compelled by legal process or as may otherwise be required by applicable Law (including applicable securities Law); (d) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement; (e) to such Receiving Party’s Affiliates and its and their representatives who, in the reasonable judgment of such Receiving Party, need to know such Confidential Information and are subject to customary confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those set forth herein; (f) to perform its obligations to the other Party or its Affiliates under this Agreement or any TDP; or (g) as otherwise permitted under this Agreement or any TDP; provided, however, that in the case of clause (a), (b) or (c), such Receiving Party will notify the Disclosing Party of the proposed disclosure as far in advance of such disclosure as practicable in the circumstances and use reasonable efforts to ensure that any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment reasonably satisfactory to the Disclosing Party, when and if available.
9.3Exceptions. The restrictions of Article 9 will not apply to Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party that: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party in violation of this Agreement; (b) is or becomes available to such Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates or representatives on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to such Receiving Party and any of its Affiliates or representatives under this Agreement; (c) is or has been independently developed or conceived by such Receiving Party without use of Confidential Information of such Disclosing Party; or (d) becomes available to such Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates or representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than such Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates or representatives; provided, however, that such source is not known by the recipient of the Confidential Information of such Disclosing Party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with such Disclosing Party or its Affiliates or representatives.
9.4Attorney-Client Privilege. No Disclosing Party is waiving, nor will be deemed to have waived or diminished, any of its attorney work product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges as a result of disclosing information pursuant to this Agreement, or any of its confidential or proprietary information to the Receiving Party, regardless of whether the Disclosing Party has asserted, or is or may be entitled to assert, such privileges and protections.  The Parties: (i) share a common legal and commercial interest in such disclosure that is subject to such privileges and protections; (ii) may become joint parties in proceedings to which the information covered by such protections and privileges relates; (iii) intend that such privileges and protections remain intact should any Party become subject to any actual or threatened proceeding to which the Disclosing Party’s information covered by such 
56

protections and privileges relates; and (iv) intend that, after the Original Effective Date, both the Receiving Party and the Disclosing Party will have the right to assert such protections and privileges.
9.5Term. The provisions of this Article 9 will continue to apply to the Parties until the date which is seven (7) years following the expiration of the Term, provided that, with respect to Technical Information and trade secrets, such provisions will continue to apply to the Parties in perpetuity.
9.6Securities Filings.  Subject to Section 9.7, in the event either Party proposes to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities commissions or other securities regulatory authority in a Province or Territory of Canada or the securities regulators of any state, province, territory or other jurisdiction, a registration statement, prospectus or any other disclosure document which describes or refers to this Agreement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the Securities Act (Ontario) or any other applicable securities Law, the Party shall notify the other Party of such intention and shall provide such other Party with a copy of relevant portions of the proposed filing not less than ten (10) Business Days (two (2) Business Days in the case of a prospectus) prior to such filing (and any revisions to such portions of the proposed filing a reasonable time prior to the filing thereof) or such shorter period of time as the Party may determine is necessary in the circumstances, acting reasonably and in good faith, including any exhibits thereto relating to this Agreement, and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of any information concerning this Agreement that such other Party requests be kept confidential, and shall only disclose Confidential Information which it is advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed. Each Party shall have the right to expeditiously review and recommend changes to any such disclosure and, except as otherwise required by Law, the Party whose disclosure has been reviewed shall remove any information the reviewing Party reasonably deems to be inappropriate for disclosure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice shall be required under this Section 9.6 if the substance of the description of or reference to this Agreement contained in the proposed filing has been included in any previous disclosure made by either Party in accordance with the terms hereunder or otherwise approved by the other Party.
9.7Terms of Agreement.  Each Party acknowledges and agrees that Cronos shall file, within ten (10) days following the date hereof, a copy of this Agreement, together with a material change report related thereto, with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system and on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval; provided that, not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which Cronos intends to make such filings, Cronos shall consult or have consulted with Ginkgo as to the content of such material change report and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any redactions to this Agreement to be so filed that may be reasonably requested by Ginkgo (any information redacted in the as filed version of this Agreement, the “Redacted Information”).  The Parties agree that the Redacted Information shall be considered Confidential Information of both Parties.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 9, either Party may disclose the content of the Redacted Information as is reasonably required to a bona fide potential licensee, investor, investment banker, acquirer, merger partner or other potential financial partner, and their attorneys and agents, provided that each such Person to whom such information is to be disclosed is informed of the confidential nature of such information and has entered into a written agreement with the Party requiring such Person to keep such information confidential on terms substantially similar to the confidentiality provisions set forth herein.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Cronos has the right to make any filings required under the Exchange Act, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, with respect to this Agreement.
9.8Injunctive Relief.  The Parties hereto understand and agree that remedies at law may be inadequate to protect against any breach of any of the provisions of this Article 9 by 
57

either Party or their employees, agents, officers or directors or any other person acting in concert with it or on its behalf.  Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any action that constitutes any such breach of this Article 9.
9.9Publicity.  Neither Party shall use the name, insignia, symbol, trademark, trade name or logotype of the other Party or its Affiliates in any publication, press release, promotional material or other form of publicity without the prior written consent of the other Party, except for those disclosures authorized in this Article 9.  With regard to any press release or other publicity, the terms of the Collaboration, the Target Cannabinoids included in the Collaboration, and the activities of the Parties under the Collaboration shall be kept confidential except as specifically agreed by the Parties or as otherwise required by Law.  Each Party agrees not to issue any press release or other public statement or make any publication or presentation disclosing information relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other Party, provided, however, that any disclosure which is required by Law or the rules of a securities exchange, as reasonably advised by the disclosing Party’s counsel, may be made, but only insofar as such required disclosure does not contain Confidential Information and, if it does contain Confidential Information, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure and obtain confidential treatment for any such Confidential Information which is so disclosed.  Each Party agrees to provide to the other Party a copy of any such required public disclosure regarding this Agreement or the subject matter hereof as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances prior to its scheduled release.  Except under extraordinary circumstances, each Party shall provide the other with an advance copy of any such required disclosure at least five (5) Business Days prior to its scheduled release.  Each Party shall have the right to expeditiously review and recommend changes to any such disclosure and, except as otherwise required by Law, the Party whose disclosure has been reviewed shall remove any information the reviewing Party reasonably deems to be inappropriate for disclosure.  The contents or substance of any disclosure, announcement or similar publicity which has been reviewed and approved by the reviewing Party as provided above can be re-released by either Party without a requirement for re-approval. The Parties have, immediately following the execution of the Original Agreement, issued a joint press release agreed to by the Parties as of such date.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATION WILL NOT APPLY TO LIMIT EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO (A) A PARTY’S BREACH OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY PROVISION IN ARTICLE 9, (B) A PARTY’S BREACH OF THE EXCLUSIVITY PROVISIONS IN SECTION 2.7, (C) A PARTY’S FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, AND (D) THE OBLIGATIONS OF EACH PARTY FOR THE INDEMNIFICATION OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER ARTICLE 11.
(b)EXCEPT FOR (A) A PARTY’S BREACH OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY PROVISIONS IN ARTICLE 9, (B) A PARTY’S BREACH OF THE EXCLUSIVITY PROVISIONS IN SECTION 2.7, (C) A PARTY’S FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, (D) A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER OBLIGATIONS, AND (E) THE OBLIGATIONS OF EACH PARTY FOR THE INDEMNIFICATION OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER ARTICLE 11, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY TO THE OTHER FOR ANY CLAIM OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE) FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR RESULTING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR FROM PERFORMANCE OR BREACH THEREOF EXCEED $5,000,000.
11.INDEMNITY
11.1Indemnification Obligations.  Each Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) will defend, indemnify and hold the other Party (the “Indemnified Party”) and its Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents and consultants and legal, financial, accounting and other advisors (“Related Persons”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities and damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) resulting from any Third Party claims, demands, suits or proceedings (“Claims” or, if singular, “Claim”) to the extent arising out of or based upon: (a) in the case that Cronos is the Indemnifying Party, (i) the Manufacture, use, handling, storage, sale or other disposition of the Collaboration Strains, Target Cannabinoids, or Cronos Products in the Territory by Cronos or its Affiliates or (sub)licensees or any of its Related Persons, including product liability claims, (ii) any claim of infringement related to Cronos Background IP, or the formulation, blending or use of any Target Cannabinoids or Cronos Product by Cronos, (iii) any breach by Cronos of any of its representations, warranties or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, or (iv) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Cronos or any of its Related Persons, or (b) in the case that Ginkgo is the Indemnifying Party, (I) the Manufacture, use, handling or storage of the Collaboration Strains by Ginkgo or any of its Related Persons, (II) any claim of infringement related to Ginkgo Background IP, (III) any 
62

breach by Ginkgo of any of its representations, warranties or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, or (IV) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Ginkgo or any of its Related Persons. The indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 11.1 do not apply to the extent that the Losses arise in whole or in part from the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Related Persons, or from the material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made or given under this Agreement by the Indemnified Party or any of its Related Persons.
11.2Defense.  Each Party will notify the other Party promptly upon learning of a Claim that is subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1.  Any failure to provide such prompt notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of this obligation, unless the delay in providing such notice results in actual prejudice to the Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnifying Party may control, at its own expense, the defense of the Claim with counsel of its choice as long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnified Party will use reasonable efforts to cooperate in the defense and may participate at its own expense using its own counsel.  No compromise or settlement of any Claim may be made by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s written consent unless (a) there is no finding or admission of any violation of applicable Law or any violation of the rights of any Person, (b) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, and (c) the Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement are not adversely affected.
11.3Insurance.  Each Party will obtain and maintain, during the Term and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, with a reputable, solvent insurer, general liability insurance (including liability for property damage, personal injury and contractual liability) with limits of at least US$1,000,000 per occurrence and US$2,000,000 in the aggregate and product liability and professional liability insurance with limits of at least US$3,000,000 per occurrence and US$3,000,000 in the aggregate.  Upon request, a Party will provide the other Party with evidence of the existence and maintenance of such insurance coverage.
12.DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION
12.1Resolution by Senior Executives.  The Parties shall seek to settle amicably any and all disputes or differences arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.  Any dispute between the Parties shall be promptly presented to the Chief Executive Officers (“CEOs”), or their respective designees, for resolution.  The CEOs or their designees shall attempt in good faith to promptly resolve such dispute.  For clarification, following presentation to such parties for resolution, any dispute within the JSC’s decision-making authority shall be finally decided in accordance with any final decision-making authority specified pursuant to Section 7.1(c).
12.2Arbitration. 
(a)General.  Following compliance with Section 12.1, any disputes arising under this Agreement that are not exempted pursuant to Section 12.2(c) will be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the then current Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association, including the Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes, as modified by this Section 12.2.
(b)Number and Selection of Arbitrators.  The number of arbitrators will be three (3), who will be selected as follows: each of Cronos, on the one hand, and Ginkgo, on the other hand, 
63

will choose one (1) arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of either initiating or receiving notice of an arbitration (as the case may be), and those Party-appointed arbitrators will unanimously select one (1) chairman arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of the appointment of the last Party-appointed arbitrator.  If the Party-appointed arbitrators are unable to agree upon the selection of the third arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of the appointment of the last Party-appointed arbitrator, such chairman arbitrator will be selected by the American Arbitration Association within ten (10) Business Days.
(c)Matters Exempted from Arbitration.  Any disputes arising under this Agreement with respect to IP, including, without limitation, inventorship, ownership, validity, or enforceability of any IP, will be resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by arbitration.  Any requests for equitable relief or remedies may also be brought in such court.  In either case, a court of competent jurisdiction is a state or federal court in Massachusetts.  Cronos waives any objection to such jurisdiction and venue and agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of such court. 
(d)Place and Language of Arbitration.  The place of any arbitration will be Boston, Massachusetts, at a suitable venue to be agreed by the Parties and arbitrators within ten (10) Business Days of the appointment of the chairman arbitrator.  The proceedings will be conducted in the English language.
(e)Binding Decision.  The decision and award of the arbitral tribunal will be made by majority decision and will be binding on the Parties and their successors and assigns.  The arbitral award will be written in English and accompanied by a reasoned opinion.  The arbitral award may grant any equitable remedies that the arbitral tribunal deems just and equitable; provided, however, that no arbitral award may grant damages disclaimed pursuant to Section 10.3(a).
(f)Allocation of Costs.  The decision and award of the arbitral tribunal will include a decision regarding the allocation of costs relating to any such arbitration.  For purposes of this subsection, “costs” will include reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable experts’ fees actually incurred with respect to the arbitration proceeding.
(g)Period for Arbitration.  
(i)The arbitration will be completed no later than ninety (90) days after the selection of the chairman arbitrator, unless the chairman arbitrator determines, at the request of any Party or on his or her own initiative, that such time period should be extended, in which case such time period may not be extended beyond an additional thirty (30) day period.
(ii)Each of Ginkgo and Cronos will be permitted to serve only one (1) set of document production requests with a maximum of ten (10) requests and to take only up to three (3) depositions of the other Party, on dates and locations to be mutually agreed upon (or, failing such agreement, as the chairman arbitrator will select after hearing from the Parties), and to serve only up to two (2) subpoenas to non-Parties for production of 
64

documents and/or for testimony.  No interrogatories or requests for admission will be permitted.  Any documents not in English that are produced by a Party will be accompanied by a translation into English, which translation will not be binding upon the other Party or the arbitrators.  Each Party will make its employees, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to make its former employees, available for depositions and hearing testimony as requested by the other Party.
(h)Enforcement of Judgment.  Judgment on the arbitral award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(i)Confidentiality.  Except as required by applicable Law or as required for recognition and enforcement of the arbitral decision and award, the arbitrators may not disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of the Parties, and the Parties agree that any such information will be considered Confidential Information hereunder.  Any documents submitted to the arbitrators will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed, except that any such documents may be disclosed as permitted by this Agreement or in connection with any action to collect the award, or if any such documents are discoverable or admissible in any action in a court having jurisdiction thereof as provided for in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may disclose information about the arbitration to persons who have a need to know, such as directors, investors, attorneys, lenders, insurers, actual or potential collaborators, licensees, Sublicensees or corporate partners, acquirors, and other persons who may be directly affected, provided that such persons are bound to keep such information confidential.  Additionally, if either Party has stock which is publicly traded, such Party may make such disclosures as are required by applicable securities Laws, but will use commercially reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for such disclosure.
(j)Statute of Limitations.  The Parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation and time-based defenses (such as estoppel and laches) will be tolled while the procedures set forth in this Article 12.2 are pending.  The Parties will cooperate in taking any actions necessary to achieve this result.
13.MISCELLANEOUS
13.1Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be charged with any liability for delay or failure in performance of an obligation under this Agreement to the extent such delay or failure is due to a cause beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, such as war, riots, labor disturbances, fire, explosion, government act (e.g., promulgation of or change to a regulation, order or Law) or failure to act (e.g., failure to grant necessary approvals), or embargoes (a “Force Majeure Event”).  The Party affected shall give prompt written notice to the other Party of any material delay or failure to perform due to such causes and any reasonably expected duration of such circumstances, which shall be followed upon by a confirmatory letter from the other Party.  If the Force Majeure Event prevails for a continuous period in excess of six (6) months, the Parties shall enter into good faith discussions to agree upon such alternative arrangements as may be fair and reasonable.
65

13.2Assignment. This Agreement or any of the licensed Intellectual Property that is the subject of this Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party (for clarity, with respect to any licensed Intellectual Property, the licensee Party) without the consent of the other Party; provided, however, that except with respect to any entity that practices or is otherwise engaged in the business of Commercializing Cannabinoids, Ginkgo may, without such consent, assign this Agreement together with all of its rights and obligations hereunder to its Affiliates, or to a successor in interest in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its business to which this Agreement relates, or in the event of its merger, consolidation, change of control, or similar transaction (including in connection with an initial public offering or with a special purpose acquisition company), subject in each such case to the assignee agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; and except with respect to any entity that practices or is otherwise engaged in the business of microbial engineering, Cronos may, without such consent, assign this Agreement upon a Cronos Approved Change of Control. For greater certainty, the Parties agree that it would not be appropriate for Cronos to assign the rights and obligations of this Agreement or any of the licensed Intellectual Property that is the subject of this Agreement to an entity that practices or is otherwise engaged in the business of microbial engineering because, among other things, such an assignment would cause serious and irreparable damage and harm to Ginkgo, and its business and property.  Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentences shall be void.  Any permitted assignee or successor shall assume and be bound by all applicable obligations of its assignor or predecessor under this Agreement.
13.3Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, all other provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the Parties shall substitute for the invalid or unenforceable provision a valid and enforceable provision which conforms as nearly as possible with the original intent of the Parties.
13.4Notices.  All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when: sent by email (with written confirmation of receipt), provided that a copy is immediately sent by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (receipt requested) to the appropriate addresses set forth below (or to such other addresses and email addresses as a Party may designate by notice according to this Section 13.4):

13.8Waiver.  The failure of either Party in any instance to insist upon the strict performance of the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any of the terms of this Agreement, either at the time of the Party’s failure to insist upon strict performance or at any time in the future, and such terms shall continue in full force and effect.
13.9Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one (1) and the same instrument.
13.10Use of Names.

13.11Independent Contractors.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a joint venture, partnership or employer-employee relationship between Cronos and Ginkgo, or to constitute one as the agent of the other.  Ginkgo shall not be entitled to any benefits applicable to employees of Cronos.  Both Parties shall act solely as independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make one Party an agent, employee or legal representative of the other Party for any purpose or to give either Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party.
13.12Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all proposals, oral or written, confidentiality agreements, and all other communications between the Parties with respect to such subject matter, including without limitation, the confidentiality agreement between the Parties dated as of March 28, 2018 (the “Existing Confidentiality Agreement”) and the Original Agreement.
13.13Modifications.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement may not be amended or modified, except in a writing signed by both Parties.
13.14Exports.  The Parties acknowledge that the export of technical data, materials or products is subject to the exporting Party receiving any necessary export licenses and that the 
67

Parties cannot be responsible for any delays attributable to export controls which are beyond the reasonable control of either Party.  Ginkgo and Cronos agree not to export or re-export, directly or indirectly, any information, technical data, the direct product of such data, samples or equipment received or generated under this Agreement in violation of any applicable export control Laws.
13.15Further Assurances.  Each Party agrees to do and perform all such further acts and things and shall execute and deliver such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents reasonably necessary in order to carry out the mutual intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, at the other Party’s reasonable request and expense, to evidence, perfect or otherwise confirm such other Party’s rights hereunder.
13.16Interpretation.  
(a)Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement has been diligently reviewed by it and negotiated by and between them, that in such negotiations each of them has been represented by competent counsel and that the final agreement contained herein, including the language whereby the agreement has been expressed, represents the joint efforts of the Parties hereto and their counsel.  Accordingly, in the event an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
(b)Any reference to a “Business Day” shall mean any day except Saturday, Sunday, or any other day on which the principal chartered banks in either New York City or Toronto are closed for business.
(c)Unless the context requires otherwise, (i) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein or therein), (ii) any reference to any Laws herein shall be construed as referring to such Laws as from time to time enacted, repealed or amended, (iii) any reference herein to any person shall be construed to include the person’s successors and assigns, (iv) the words “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision, and (v) all references herein to Articles, Sections or Appendices, unless otherwise specifically provided, shall be construed to refer to Articles, Sections and Appendices of this Agreement.
