This Executive Employment
Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of March 24, 2022, made between Enzo Biochem, Inc., a New York corporation, with
its principal office at 527 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022 (the “Company”) and Kara Cannon (the “Executive”)
(collectively, the “Parties”).

 

Whereas,
Executive is currently a full-time employee of the Company; and

 

Whereas,
the Company desires for Executive to continue to provide services to the Company, and wishes to provide Executive with certain compensation
and benefits in return for such employment services; and

 

Whereas,
Executive wishes to continue to be employed by the Company and to provide personal services to the Company in return for certain compensation
and benefits;

 

Now,
Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Employment
by the Company.

 

1.1 Term.
The Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement shall commence as of the date this agreement is executed by both parties (“Effective
Date”) and shall continue until terminated in accordance as provided in Section 4 (the “Contract Term”).
Subject to the terms contained herein, Executive’s employment shall be “at-will” and may be terminated by either side,
with or without notice, and without further obligation thereof.

 

1.2 Position.
Executive shall continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. During Executive’s employment with the Company,
Executive will devote Executive’s best efforts and substantially all of Executive’s business time and attention to the business
of the Company, except for approved vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacities permitted by the Company’s
general employment policies.

 

1.3 Duties
and Location. Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer or a designee thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
reserves the right to change Executive’s direct report and assign other or additional duties or modify duties from time to time.
Executive’s primary office location shall be the Company’s office located in Farmingdale, New York. The Company reserves the
right to reasonably require Executive to perform Executive’s duties at places other than Executive’s primary office location
from time to time, and to require business travel.

 

1.4 Policies
and Procedures. The employment relationship between the Parties shall be governed by the general employment policies and practices
of the Company. Executive shall at all times comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including those promulgated by regulatory
and self-regulatory authorities, securities exchanges, and domestic and foreign agencies and authorities, as well as the Employee Handbook,
the Compliance Manual and any other internal policies and procedures established by the Company and made available to employees generally.

 

    1

     

    

 

2.
Compensation.

 

2.1 Salary.
For services to be rendered hereunder, Executive shall receive a base salary at the rate of $280,000 per year (the “Base
Salary”), subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings and payable in accordance with the Company’s regular
payroll schedule. Executive’s base salary may be reviewed and changed by the Company on notice to the Executive.

 

2.2 Annual
Bonus. Executive will be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus
(the “Annual Bonus”), which will be based on a fiscal year basis, unless otherwise determined by the Company (the “Bonus
Period”). Executive’s target for each Annual Bonus shall be 50% of Executive’s Base Salary (“Target”);
provided, however, whether Executive receives an Annual Bonus for any Bonus Period, and the amount of any such Annual Bonus, whether at,
above, or below Target will be determined by the Board or the compensation committee thereof in its sole discretion. The Annual Bonus,
if payable, will be paid when bonuses are paid to similarly situated executives, which shall be prior to seventy-five days following the
conclusion of the Bonus Period. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive will not be eligible for, and will not earn, any Annual Bonus if
Executive’s employment terminates for any reason before the Annual Bonus is to be paid, except Executive shall remain eligible for
such Annual Bonus only if Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or if Executive resigns for Good Reason subsequent
to the conclusion of the Bonus Period but prior to the payment date of the Annual Bonus, as more specifically stated herein. Any Annual
Bonus paid for any year shall not create any entitlement to a bonus in a future year.

 

2.3 Sign-On
Bonus. On or about the first regular payroll run date following the Effective Date, Executive shall receive a sign-on bonus in the
amount of $40,000, less applicable deductions and withholdings (the “Sign-On Bonus”). Executive agree that in the event
of Executive’s termination for Cause or if Executive provides notice of Executive’s intent to terminate her employment without
Good Reason, in each case prior to the date that is three (3) months after the first date of the Contract Term, Executive shall be required
to immediately re-pay to the Company the gross amount of the Sign-On Bonus. This re-payment obligation shall not be deemed to be exclusive
of any other rights and remedies available to the Company.

 

2.4 Sign-On
Equity Grant. Subject to the approval of the Board and pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”), Executive will be eligible to receive an option to purchase 87,500 shares (“Options”) of
the Company’s common stock at the fair market value as determined by the Board as of the date of grant (the “Option Grant”).
The Option Grant shall vest in equal one-third annual increments, with the first vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date provided
Executive remains employed in good standing on any such vesting date, and in all cases subject to the terms of the Plan and the Company’s
Option grant documents, the execution of which by Executive is required for any such grant.

 

2.5 Annual
Equity Grant. For each year of employment, subject to the approval of the Board and pursuant to the Plan, as hereinafter amended,
restated, or replaced, Executive shall be eligible for grants thereunder in an amount and pursuant to terms as determined by the Board
in its sole discretion. Each annual grant provided hereunder, if any, shall vest on terms as provided by the Company and shall be subject
to the terms of the Plan and the Company’s Option grant documents, the execution of which by Executive is required for any such
grant. Nothing herein requires the Board to make any grant under the Plan or otherwise.

3. Transaction
Bonus. During the Contract Term, and provided Executive
is still employed by the Company and has not given notice of her intent to terminate her employment, upon consummation of a Change in
Control (as defined herein), in addition to any other payments or benefits applicable thereto under this Agreement, Executive shall be
eligible to receive a Transaction Bonus equal to three quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the “Transaction Value”, which means
the total amount of Sale Proceeds paid in respect of the transaction that resulted in the Change in Control. Said Transaction Bonus shall
be paid 50% as soon as practicable following the closing date of the Change in Control and 50% on the first anniversary thereof and shall
be paid in the same form of consideration (e.g. cash, stock in the acquiring company, promissory note or a combination thereof) as is
the consideration received by the holders of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company who participate in the Transaction;
provided, however, the Company reserves the right to pay the Transaction Bonus in such other form as it determines in its sole discretion.
For the sake of clarity, the computation of the Transaction Bonus and whether Executive is eligible to receive same shall be determined
in the Company’s sole discretion. Executive must be employed on the payment date of either portion of the Transaction Bonus in order
to be eligible for same, provided, however, that such requirement shall not apply in the event that, after a Change in Control but before
payment of the remaining 50% of the Transaction Bonus is paid, the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive
terminates her employment for Good Reason, in either case Executive shall receive the Transaction Bonus on the anniversary of the Change
in Control as if Executive were still employed, subject to the terms of Section 6. For the sake of clarity, “Sale Proceeds”
shall mean the fair market value of the gross consideration received by the Company or its stockholders in the Change in Control transaction,
as determined by the Company in its sole discretion immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, taking into account
such factors as the Committee deems appropriate, and less, in all cases, (a) cash or cash equivalents held by the Company as of the date
of the Change in Control, and (b) any expenses attributable to the Change in Control. 

 

“Change
in Control” shall mean, in respect of the Company any of (i) the beneficial ownership (as defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of securities representing more
than 50% of the combined voting power of Enzo is acquired by any “person” as defined in sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange
Act (other than the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit
plan of the Company), (ii) the merger or consolidation of Enzo with or into another corporation where the shareholders of the Company,
immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such
term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate 50% or more of the
combined voting power of the securities of the corporation issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate
parent corporation, if any) in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation, or (iii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of Enzo’s assets to an entity, other than a sale
or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of Enzo’s assets to an entity, at least 50% of the combined voting power
of the voting securities of which are owned directly or indirectly by shareholders of the Company, immediately prior to the sale or disposition,
in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company. 

 

4. Company
Benefits. Executive shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefit programs for which Executive
is eligible under the terms and conditions of the benefit plans that may be in effect from time to time and provided by the Company to
its senior-level employees including medical and dental insurance, life and disability insurance, and participation in the Company’s
401(k) retirement plan. During the Contract Term, Executive shall further receive paid vacation and a car allowance as determined by the
Company in its sole discretion. The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans or programs it offers to the Executive
at any time; provided, however, that any such change shall be across the board changes similarly affecting the eligibility requirements
of all senior-level employees of the Company.

During the Contract Term, either Executive or the Company may terminate Executive’s employment relationship at any time, provided,
however, that if Executive resigns during the Contract Term, Executive shall provide no less than ninety (90) days’ advance written
notice of any such termination (the “Notice Period”). During the Notice Period, Executive shall remain an employee
of the Company, and shall continue to receive Base Salary, but no other compensation. The Company may elect to have Executive not report
to work for all or any portion of such Notice Period. The Company shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to accelerate Executive’s
termination date to any date subsequent to receiving written notice from Executive, and thus conclude the Notice Period.

date occurs subsequent to the conclusion of the fiscal year but prior to the payment of the Annual Bonus to which the fiscal year relates,
such Annual Bonus, if any, as computed in accordance with Section 2.2 above, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings (the
“Severance”). The Severance will be paid as a continuation on the Company’s regular payroll, beginning no later
than the first regularly-scheduled payroll date following the sixtieth (60th) day after Executive’s Separation from Service (as
defined below), provided the Separation Agreement (as discussed in Paragraph 5) has become effective and further provided that the Bonus
component under (y), if any, shall be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth day after Executive’s Separation from Service..

determined by the Board to be curable. Any determination of Cause hereunder shall be made by the Board in its good faith discretion, which

to any determination or allegation of Cause.

 

5.3 For
purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” for termination will mean: (i) material diminution of the Executive’s
title or duties below that of the level of a Chief Operating Officer ; (ii) a material reduction in Executive’s Base Salary, other

give written notice to the Company within thirty (30) days following the occasion of any allegation of Good Reason, and the Company shall
have thirty (30) days to cure same. In the event such occurrence is not cured, then Executive may terminate Executive’s employment
for Good Reason hereunder within ninety (90) days from the end of the cure period. The Executive’s continued employment prior to
the conclusion of the ninety (90) day period stated in the preceding sentence shall not constitute consent to, or waiver of rights with
respect to, any act or failure to act by the Company constituting “Good Reason” hereunder, if not cured in the preceding thirty
day period.

 

    4

     

    

 

5.4 Termination
for Any Other Reason.

 

a. Upon
a termination for any reason other than without Cause or with Good Reason, then upon Executive’s termination date all payments of
compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), and Executive will
not be entitled to any Severance.

 

b. In
the event of termination for any reason, Executive shall resign from all positions and terminate any relationships as an employee, advisor,
officer or director with the Company and any of its affiliates, each effective on the date of termination.

 

6. Conditions
to Receipt of Severance Benefits. In order to receive any
Severance Benefits, the termination of Executive’s employment must constitute a “separation from service” (as defined
under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), without regard to any alternative definition thereunder, a “Separation
from Service”), and Executive must be in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Further,
the receipt of the Severance Benefits will be conditioned on Executive signing, not revoking, and complying with a separation agreement
and release of claims in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Separation Agreement”).
No Severance Benefits will be paid or provided until the Separation Agreement becomes effective.

 

7. Section
409A. It is intended that all of the Severance and other payments payable under this Agreement satisfy,
to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Code Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations 1.409A-1(b)(4),
1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions,
and to the extent not so exempt, this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section
409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)),
Executive’s right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments, reimbursements or otherwise)
shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all
times be considered a separate and distinct payment.

National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other
federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). Executive further understands that
this Agreement does not limit her ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or
proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company.
This Agreement does not limit Executive’s right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies.

 

8.10 Enforcement
of Restrictive Covenants.

 

i. Rights
and Remedies Upon Breach. The parties specifically acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any breach of the Restrictive
Covenants will be inadequate, and that in the event Executive breaches, or threatens to breach, any of the Restrictive Covenants, the
Company shall have the right and remedy, without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond, to enjoin, preliminarily
and permanently, Executive from violating or threatening to violate the Restrictive Covenants and to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically
enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would
cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.

 

    8

     

    

 

ii. Severability
and Modification of Covenants. Executive acknowledges and agrees that each of the Restrictive Covenants is reasonable and valid in
time and scope and in all other respects. The parties agree that it is their intention that the Restrictive Covenants be enforced in accordance
with their terms to the maximum extent permitted by law. Each of the Restrictive Covenants shall be considered and construed as a separate
and independent covenant. Should any part or provision of any of the Restrictive Covenants be held invalid, void, or unenforceable, such
invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability shall not render invalid, void, or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement
or such Restrictive Covenant. If any of the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants should ever be held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to exceed the scope permitted by the applicable law, such provision or provisions shall be automatically modified to such lesser scope
as such court may deem just and proper for the reasonable protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests and may be enforced
by the Company to that extent in the manner described above and all other provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable.
The Restrictive Covenants shall survive the termination of the Contract Term and this Agreement.

 

9. Governing
Law; Dispute Resolution. The interpretation and application of this Employment shall be governed by
the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws, other than laws which violate a fundamental public
policy of the state of employ, in which case such state’s laws shall govern with regard to such policies. Except for claims requesting
injunctive relief, any dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (including without limitation
its subject matter, interpretation, or formation) or to Executive’s employment or relationship with the Company shall be resolved
by binding arbitration to be held in or around Farmingdale, New York, before three (3) arbitrators selected by the American Arbitration
Association, conducted in accordance with the then-prevailing Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration
Association. A copy of these rules can be accessed through the American Arbitration Association’s website (www.adr.org). The arbitrators’
decision will be final and binding in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitrators will not have the right to modify or change any of the terms of this Employment Agreement. The arbitrators, and not any
court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation
of this Employment Agreement including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The parties agree that the
arbitrators may provide all appropriate remedies at law and equity and will have the power to summarily adjudicate claims and/or enter
summary judgment in appropriate cases. In any arbitration proceeding conducted pursuant to this paragraph, the parties shall have the
right to discovery, to call witnesses, and to cross-examine the other party’s witnesses.  The arbitrator shall render a final
decision in writing, setting forth the reasons for the arbitration award.  Both parties are bound by this agreement to arbitrate,
but it does not include disputes, controversies or differences which may not by law be arbitrated.  The parties agree that the arbitration
proceedings described in this Section are to be treated as confidential, and that the parties will act to protect the confidentiality
of the documents, facts, and proceedings related to the arbitration. THE PARTIES WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE ANY SUCH DISPUTE, CLAIM OR
CONTROVERSY DECIDED BY A JUDGE OR JURY IN A COURT.  THE PARTIES ALSO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR
INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING.  THE PARTIES ALSO
AGREE THAT EACH MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN ANY PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THIS STATEMENT IS
UNENFORCEABLE UNDER THE LAW. All American Arbitration Association filing fees, administrative costs, and arbitrator fees (as well as other
related fees) shall be paid by the Company, with the exception of fees that would be paid by the Executive should the dispute be settled
in a Court of Law. 

 

10. General
Provisions.

 

10.1 Notices.
Any notices provided must be in writing and will be deemed effective upon the earlier of personal delivery, email, or the next day after
sending by overnight carrier, to the Company at its primary office location and to Executive at the address as listed on the Company payroll.

 

10.2 Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule
in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but
this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction to the extent possible in keeping with the intent of the
parties.

 

    9

FIRST
AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This
First Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of October 14, 2021, as amended
March 24, 2022, made between Enzo Biochem, Inc., a New York corporation, with its principal office at 527 Madison Avenue, New York, New
York 10022, (the “Company”) and Hamid Erfanian (the “Executive”) (collectively, the “Parties”).

 

Whereas,
the Company desires for Executive to provide services to the Company, and wishes to provide Executive with certain compensation and benefits
in return for such employment services; and

 

Whereas,
Executive wishes to be employed by the Company and to provide personal services to the Company in return for certain compensation and
benefits;

 

Now,
Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises
and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Employment
by the Company.

 

1.1 Position.
Executive shall serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Executive’s employment with the Company shall begin on
November 8 , 2021, or as otherwise agreed to by Executive and the Company (the “Start Date”). During Executive’s
employment with the Company, Executive will devote Executive’s best efforts and substantially all of Executive’s business
time and attention to the business of the Company, except for approved vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacities
permitted by the Company’s general employment policies. Executive may engage in civic and not-for-profit activities and serve as
a board member on board of directors of noncompetitive publicly traded companies, in each case, so long as such activities do not materially
interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors (the “Board”).

 

1.2 Duties
and Location. Executive shall report to the Board or a designee thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the
right to change Executive’s direct report and assign other or additional duties or modify duties from time to time. Executive’s
primary office location shall be the Company’s office located in Farmingdale, New York. The Company reserves the right to reasonably
require Executive to perform Executive’s duties at places other than Executive’s primary office location from time to time,
and to require business travel.

 

1.3 Policies
and Procedures. The employment relationship between the Parties shall be governed by the general employment policies and practices
of the Company. Executive shall at all times comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including those promulgated by
regulatory and self-regulatory authorities, securities exchanges, and domestic and foreign agencies and authorities, as well as the Employee
Handbook, the Compliance Manual and any other internal policies and procedures established by the Company and made available to employees
generally.

 

     

     

    

 

2. Compensation.

 

2.1 Salary.
For services to be rendered hereunder, Executive shall receive a base salary at the rate of $600,000 per year (the “Base
Salary”), subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings and payable in accordance with the Company’s regular
payroll schedule. Executive’s base salary may be reviewed and changed by the Company on notice to the Executive.

 

2.2 Annual
Bonus Executive will be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus of between thirty percent (30%) and one hundred percent
(100%) (the “Bonus Range”) of Executive’s Base Salary actually received in any such year (the “Annual
Bonus”), which will be based on a fiscal year basis, unless otherwise determined by the Company (the “Bonus Period”).
Whether Executive receives an Annual Bonus for any Bonus Period, and the amount of any such Annual Bonus, will be determined by the Board
or the compensation committee thereof in its sole discretion, provided, however, that subject to the remainder of the provisions in this
Section 2.2, Executive’s Annual Bonus payable in respect of any Bonus Period shall not be less than or higher than the Bonus Range.
Executive must remain an active employee in good standing at the time the Annual Bonus is paid in order to earn an Annual Bonus for the
prior Bonus Period. The Annual Bonus, if payable, will be paid when bonuses are paid to similarly situated executes, which shall be prior
to seventy-five days following the conclusion of the Bonus Period. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive will not be eligible for, and
will not earn, any Annual Bonus if Executive’s employment terminates for any reason before the Annual Bonus is to be paid, except
as otherwise specifically stated in Section 4.2(b). Any Annual Bonus paid for any year shall not create any entitlement to a bonus in
a future year.

 

2.3 Sign-On
Equity Grant. Subject to the approval of the Board and pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the
“Plan), Executive will be eligible to receive (a) a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) award for 260,000 shares
of the common stock of the Company (the “RSU Grant”); and (b) an option to purchase 700,000 shares (“Options”)
of the Company’s common stock at the fair market value as determined by the Board as of the date of grant (the “Option
Grant”). Each of the RSU Grant and the Option Grant shall vest in equal one-third annual increments, with the first vesting
on the first anniversary of the grant date provided Executive remains employed in good standing on any such vesting date, and in all
cases subject to the terms of the Plan and the Company’s Option and RSU grant documents, the execution of which by Executive is
required for any such grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of Executive’s termination without Cause (as defined herein),
the RSU Grant and Option Grant, subject to terms of Section 5 herein, shall vest.

 

2.4 Annual
Equity Grant. For each year of employment, subject to the approval of the Board and pursuant to the Plan, Executive shall be eligible
for a grant of both RSUs and Options in an amount and pursuant to terms as determined by the Board in its sole discretion; provided,
however, that in each year, the Board shall provide the Executive with individual and corporate performance metrics which it shall reasonably
assess in determining such year’s grant. Each annual grant provided hereunder shall vest on terms as provided by the Company and
shall be subject to the terms of the Plan and the Company’s Option and RSU grant documents, the execution of which by Executive
is required for any such grant.

 

    2

     

    

 

2.5 Relocation.
As a condition of his employment hereunder, Executive shall relocate to the Farmingdale, New York area within six (6) months of the Start
Date. The Company shall reimburse Executive for up to $60,000 in Relocation Expenses relating to such relocation, provided Executive
provides evidence of incurring such costs to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company. For purposes hereof, “Relocation Expenses”
shall mean reasonable expenses incurred by Executive related to costs associated with the sale of Executive’s old residence and
the physical movement of all goods and vehicles that are in Executive’s current home. The foregoing notwithstanding, if within
one (1) year of the relocation date, Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated either by the Company for Cause or voluntarily
by Executive in the absence of a Good Reason, then Executive shall repay to the Company the amount of the actually-reimbursed Relocation
Expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days from the effective date of such termination to the
first anniversary of Executive’s relocation date and the denominator of which will be 365 (and the Company may withhold such amount
from any payments otherwise due to Executive).

 

3. Transaction
Bonus. During the term of Executive’s employment, and provided Executive is still employed by
the Company and has not given notice of his intent to terminate his employment, upon consummation of a Change in Control (as defined
herein), in addition to any other payments or benefits applicable thereto under this Agreement, Executive shall be eligible to receive
a Transaction Bonus equal to one and seven-tenths percent (1.7%) of the “Transaction Value”, which means
the total amount of Sale Proceeds paid in respect of the transaction that resulted in the Change in Control. Said Transaction Bonus shall
be paid 50% as soon as practicable following the closing date of the Change in Control and 50% on the first anniversary thereof and shall
be paid in the same form of consideration (e.g. cash, stock in the acquiring company, promissory note or a combination thereof) as is
the consideration received by the holders of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company who participate in the
Transaction; provided, however, the Company reserves the right to pay the Transaction Bonus in such other form as it determines in its
sole discretion. For the sake of clarity, the computation of the Transaction Bonus and whether Executive is eligible to receive same
shall be determined in the Company’s sole discretion. Executive must be employed on the payment date of either portion of the Transaction
Bonus in order to be eligible for same provided, however, that such requirement shall not apply in the event that, after a Change in
Control but before payment of the remaining 50% of the Transaction Bonus is paid, the Company terminates Executive’s employment
without Cause or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, in either case Executive shall receive the Transaction Bonus on
the anniversary of the Change in Control as if Executive were still employed, subject to the terms of Section 6. For the sake of clarity,
“Sale Proceeds” shall mean the fair market value of the gross consideration received by the Company or its stockholders in
the Change in Control transaction, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion immediately prior to the consummation of the Change
in Control, taking into account such factors as the Committee deems appropriate, and less, in all cases, (a) cash or cash equivalents
held by the Company as of the date of the Change in Control, and (b) any expenses attributable to the Change in Control. 

 

“Change
in Control” shall mean, in respect of the Company any of (i) the beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of securities representing more than 50% of the combined voting power
of Enzo is acquired by any “person” as defined in sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any
subsidiary of the Company, or any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company), (ii)
the merger or consolidation of Enzo with or into another corporation where the shareholders of the Company, immediately prior to the
consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate 50% or more of the combined voting power
of the securities of the corporation issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent corporation,
if any) in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, or
(iii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of Enzo’s assets to an entity, other than a sale or disposition
by the Company of all or substantially all of Enzo’s assets to an entity, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting
securities of which are owned directly or indirectly by shareholders of the Company, immediately prior to the sale or disposition, in
substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company. 

 

    3

     

    

 

4. Company
Benefits. Executive shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefit programs for which Executive
is eligible under the terms and conditions of the benefit plans that may be in effect from time to time and provided by the Company to
its senior-level employees, which as of the Start Date shall include, at minimum, health, medical & dental for the Executive and
his spouse and dependents, 401(k), and paid time off including four (4) weeks of paid vacation as well as other benefits, in each case
pursuant to and subject to the existing policies and programs maintained by the Company, a summary of which shall be provided to the
Executive for review together with this Agreement. The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans or programs it
offers to the Executive at any time; provided, however, that any such change shall be across the board changes similarly affecting the
eligibility requirements of all senior-level employees of the Company. 

 

5. Termination
of Employment; Severance.

 

5.1 At-Will
Employment. The Employee understands that this Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment and does not promise or imply
that his employment will continue for any period of time. Unless otherwise agreed to under any employment or other agreement between
the Employee and the Company whether executed prior to this Agreement or at any time hereafter, employment with the Company is “at
will” and may be terminated either by the Employee or the Company at any time, for any or no reason, and with or without notice
Either Executive or the Company may terminate Executive’s employment relationship at any time, with or without cause or advance
notice, provided that in the event of a termination without Cause (as defined below), or the Executive’s resignation, either side
shall provide the other with no less than ninety (90) days’ advance written notice of any such termination (the “Notice
Period”). During the Notice Period, Executive shall remain an employee of the Company, and shall continue to receive Base Salary,
but no other compensation. The Company may elect to have Executive not report to work for all or any portion of such Notice Period. The
Company shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to accelerate Executive’s termination date to any date subsequent to receiving
written notice from Executive, and thus conclude the Notice Period.

 

5.2 Termination
Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason.

 

a. 
The Company may terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time without Cause (as defined below) and Executive
may resign for Good Reason in accordance with the terms provided herein.

 

b. If
Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause or resigns for Good Reason, the Company shall pay Executive, as severance, (x) the
equivalent of twelve (12) months of Executive’s Base Salary in effect as of the date of Executive’s employment termination,
subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings; and (y) if the termination date occurs subsequent to the conclusion of the fiscal
year but prior to the payment of the Annual Bonus to which the fiscal year relates, such Annual Bonus, if any, as computed in accordance
with Section 2.2 above (the “Severance Benefits”). The Severance Benefits will be paid as a continuation on the Company’s
regular payroll, beginning no later than the first regularly-scheduled payroll date following the sixtieth (60th) day after Executive’s
Separation from Service (as defined below), provided the Separation Agreement (as discussed in Paragraph 6) has become effective, and
further provided that the Bonus component under (y), if any, shall be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth day after Executive’s
Separation from Service.

 

c. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” for termination will mean: (a) commission of any (i)felony or (ii) crime involving
fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude (whether or not a felony); (b) any action by Executive involving fraud, breach of the duty of loyalty,
malfeasance, willful misconduct, or negligence, (c) the failure or refusal by Executive to perform any material duties hereunder or to
follow any lawful and reasonable direction of the Company; (d) intentional damage to any property of the Company (reasonable wear and
tear from regular use excepted); (e) chronic neglect or absenteeism in the performance of Executive’s duties; (f) willful misconduct,
gross negligence, or other material violation of Company policy or code of conduct that causes an adverse effect upon the Company; (g)
breach of any written agreement with the Company (including this Employment Agreement); or (h) any action that in the reasonable belief
of the Board shall or potentially shall subject the Company to material adverse publicity or effects. Prior to any termination for Cause
under section (c), (e), (f), (g), or (h), the Board shall provide Executive by written notice with ten (10) calendar days to cure same,
provided any such actions underlying Cause are determined by the Board to be curable. Any determination of Cause hereunder shall be made
by the Board in its good faith discretion, which shall only be made by the Board and, to the extent deemed practicable by the Board,
after providing the Executive an opportunity to respond to any determination or allegation of Cause.

 

    4

     

    

 

d. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean Executive’s resignation following the Company’s (a)
material diminution of the Executive’s title or duties below that of the level of a Chief Executive Officer; (b) material and uncured
breach of this Agreement; (c) material reduction in the Executive’s annual base salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the
same may be increased from time to time, other than as required by exigent business circumstances; or (d) a requirement that Executive
perform his job on a permanent basis more than fifty (50) miles from Farmingdale, New York; provided, that Executive shall give written
notice to the Company within thirty (30) days following the occasion of any allegation of Good Reason, and the Company shall have thirty
(30) days to cure same. In the event such occurrence is not cured, then Executive may terminate Executive’s employment for Good
Reason hereunder within ninety (90) days from the end of the cure period. The Executive’s continued employment prior to the conclusion
of the ninety(90) day period stated in the preceding sentence shall not constitute consent to, or waiver of rights with respect to, any
act or failure to act by the Company constituting “Good Reason” hereunder, if not cured in the preceding thirty day period.

 

5.3 Termination
for Any Other Reason.

 

a. Upon
a termination for any reason other than without Cause or for Good Reason as provided in Section 4.2(a), then upon Executive’s termination
date all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned),
and Executive will not be entitled to any Severance Benefits.

 

b. In
the event of termination for any reason. Executive shall resign from all positions and terminate any relationships as an employee, advisor,
officer or director with the Company and any of its affiliates, each effective on the date of termination.

 

6. Conditions
to Receipt of Severance Benefits. In order to receive any Severance Benefits, the termination of Executive’s
employment must constitute a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), without
regard to any alternative definition thereunder, a “Separation from Service”), and
Executive must be in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Further, the receipt of the Severance Benefits will be conditioned
on Executive signing, not revoking, and complying with a separation agreement and release of claims in a form reasonably satisfactory
to the Company (the “Separation Agreement”). No Severance Benefits will be paid
or provided until the Separation Agreement becomes effective.

 

7. Representations.
Executive represents and warrants that the execution of this Employment Agreement, Executive’s employment by the Company, and the
performance of Executive’s duties hereunder will not violate or be a breach of any agreement with a former employer, client or
any other person or entity, nor does Executive know of any other reason why she would not be able to perform her duties as set forth
herein. Further, Executive agree to indemnify the Company for, and hold the Company harmless from, and against, all claims, including,
but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation, by any such third party that such third party may now have or
may hereafter come to have against the Company based upon or arising out of any noncompetition agreement, invention or secrecy agreement
between Executive and such third party which was in existence as of the date of this Agreement. The Company reserves the right to rescind
this offer immediately and, if applicable, terminate Executive’s employment, without any further obligation to Executive if before
or during Executive’s employment the Company learns that Executive provided false information or made any misrepresentations in
connection with Executive’s application for employment with the Company. 

 

8. Section
409A. It is intended that all of the Severance Benefits and other payments payable under this Agreement
satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Code Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations
1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent
with those provisions, and to the extent not so exempt, this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner
that complies with Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Executive’s right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments,
reimbursements or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment
payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in
this Agreement, if Executive is deemed by the Company at the time of Executive’s Separation from Service to be a “specified
employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and if any of the payments upon Separation from Service set forth herein
and/or under any other agreement with the Company are deemed to be “deferred compensation,” then to the extent delayed commencement
of any portion of such payments is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the related
adverse taxation under Section 409A, such payments shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earliest of (i) the expiration of
the six-month period measured from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service with the Company, (ii) the date of Executive’s
death or (iii) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A without the imposition of adverse taxation. Upon the first business
day following the expiration of such applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Paragraph
shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive, and any remaining payments due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable
agreement. No interest shall be due on any amounts so deferred.

9.1 Definitions.
The following capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them below, which definitions shall apply
to both the singular and the plural forms of such terms:

 

i. “Confidential
Information” “Confidential Information” shall be given its broadest possible interpretation and shall mean
any and all information of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, and parents (each, a “Company Entity”, and collectively,
“Company Entities”), including without limitation: (i) financial and business information relating to any Company
Entity, such as information with respect to costs, fees, profits, revenues, markets, mailing/client lists, strategies and plans for future
business, new business, product or other development, potential acquisitions or divestitures and new marketing ideas; (ii) product and
technical information relating to any Company Entity, such as software, software codes, computer models and research and development

by Executive during the period of Executive’s employment with the Company relating to the activities or business of the Company

to the Company and perform all acts and things and sign whatever documents and agreements are necessary to confirm and vest the entire
right, title and interest in such Work Product in the Company, including copyright assignments, patent applications and other documents
and papers. Any assignment of Work Product includes all rights of attribution, paternity, integrity, modification, disclosure and withdrawal,

deem necessary in order to apply for, obtain, maintain and transfer such rights, or if not transferable, waive and agree never to assert
such rights, and in order to assign and convey to the Company or its designee, and any successors, assigns and nominees the sole and
exclusive right, title and interest in and to such Company Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual
property rights relating thereto. Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and
agents as Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in Executive’s behalf and stead to execute and file any
such instruments and papers and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the application for, prosecution, issuance, maintenance
or transfer of patent, copyright, mask work and other registrations related to such Work Product. These obligations shall be binding
upon Executive and Executive’s heirs, assigns, executors, administrators, agents or other legal representatives. Executive may

9.8 Cooperation
The Executive shall cooperate with the Company and its counsel in connection with any litigation or regulatory or self-regulatory
inquiry, investigation or proceeding relating to activities of Executive, or by activities of others of which the Executive may have
knowledge, and this obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for
reasonable out-of-pocket travel and other reasonable incidental expenses (other than legal expenses unless such legal expenses are

writing) incurred as a result of the Executive’s cooperation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

Executive’s right under applicable law to file a charge or complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the
National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other
federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). Executive further understands that
this Agreement does not limit his ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or
proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the
Company. This Agreement does not limit Executive’s right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies.

 

9.10 Enforcement
of Restrictive Covenants.

 

i. Rights
and Remedies Upon Breach. The parties specifically acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any breach of the Restrictive
Covenants will be inadequate, and that in the event Executive breaches, or threatens to breach, any of the Restrictive Covenants, the
Company shall have the right and remedy, without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond, to enjoin, preliminarily
and permanently, Executive from violating or threatening to violate the Restrictive Covenants and to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically
enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would
cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.

 

ii. Severability
and Modification of Covenants. Executive acknowledges and agrees that each of the Restrictive Covenants is reasonable and valid in
time and scope and in all other respects. The parties agree that it is their intention that the Restrictive Covenants be enforced in
accordance with their terms to the maximum extent permitted by law. Each of the Restrictive Covenants shall be considered and construed
as a separate and independent covenant. Should any part or provision of any of the Restrictive Covenants be held invalid, void, or unenforceable,
such invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability shall not render invalid, void, or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement
or such Restrictive Covenant. If any of the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants should ever be held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to exceed the scope permitted by the applicable law, such provision or provisions shall be automatically modified to such lesser scope
as such court may deem just and proper for the reasonable protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests and may be
enforced by the Company to that extent in the manner described above and all other provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable.

 

10. Third
Party Confidential Information. In Executive’s work for the Company, Executive will be expected
to not, and shall not to use or disclose any confidential information, including trade secrets, of any former employer or other person
to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality. Rather, Executive will be expected to use only that information which is generally
known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Executive’s own, which is common knowledge in the industry
or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company. Executive agrees not to bring
onto Company premises any unpublished documents or property belonging to any former employer or other person to whom Executive has an
obligation of confidentiality.

 

11. Governing
Law; Dispute Resolution. The interpretation and application of this Employment shall be governed by
the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws, other than laws which violate a fundamental public
policy of the state of employ, in which case such state’s laws shall govern with regard to such policies. Except for claims requesting
injunctive relief, any dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (including without limitation
its subject matter, interpretation, or formation) or to Executive’s employment or relationship with the Company shall be resolved
by binding arbitration to be held in or around Farmingdale, New York, before three (3) arbitrators selected by the American Arbitration
Association, conducted in accordance with the then-prevailing Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration
Association. A copy of these rules can be accessed through the American Arbitration Association’s website (www.adr.org). The arbitrators’
decision will be final and binding in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitrators will not have the right to modify or change any of the terms of this Employment Agreement. The arbitrators, and not any
court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation
of this Employment Agreement including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The parties agree that the
arbitrators may provide all appropriate remedies at law and equity and will have the power to summarily adjudicate claims and/or enter
summary judgment in appropriate cases. In any arbitration proceeding conducted pursuant to this paragraph, the parties shall have the
right to discovery, to call witnesses, and to cross-examine the other party’s witnesses.  The arbitrator shall render a final
decision in writing, setting forth the reasons for the arbitration award.  Both parties are bound by this agreement to arbitrate,
but it does not include disputes, controversies or differences which may not by law be arbitrated.  The parties agree that the arbitration
proceedings described in this Section 10 are to be treated as confidential, and that the parties will act to protect the confidentiality
of the documents, facts, and proceedings related to the arbitration. THE PARTIES WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE ANY SUCH DISPUTE, CLAIM OR
CONTROVERSY DECIDED BY A JUDGE OR JURY IN A COURT.  THE PARTIES ALSO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN
THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING.  THE PARTIES
ALSO AGREE THAT EACH MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN ANY PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THIS STATEMENT
IS UNENFORCEABLE UNDER THE LAW.

rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction,

this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken
place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business
and/or assets as aforesaid.

Check and Ability to Work. This offer of employment is contingent upon verification of Executive’s identity and authorization
to legally work in the United States, a background and reference check, and all other Company practices and procedures as reasonably
