Pursuant to the Stock

is attached, Ceres, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with any successor thereof, the “Company”), has granted
to Participant fully vested shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 (the “Stock Payment Award Shares”)
under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”)
as indicated in the Grant Notice.

 

		1.	General.

 

1.1             
Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the
Plan and the Grant Notice, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

 

1.2             
Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The Stock Payment Award Shares are subject to the terms and conditions of
the Plan which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the
terms of the Plan shall control.

 

		2.	Grant of Stock Payment Award Shares.

 

2.1             
Grant of Stock Payment Award Shares. In consideration of Participant’s employment with or service to
the Company or a Subsidiary and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant
Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company grants to Participant the Stock Payment Award Shares, upon the terms
and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.

 

2.2             
Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the Stock Payment Award Shares by the Company,
Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement
shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere
with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge
or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly
provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.

 

		3.	Terms of Stock Payment Award Shares.

 

3.1             
In General. The Stock Payment Award Shares are fully vested as of the Grant Date and do not have any restrictions
on transferability other than those that may arise under the securities laws or the Company’s policies.

 

3.2             
Tax Withholding. The grant of the Stock Payment Award Shares under this Agreement will result in Participant’s
recognition of income for U.S. and federal tax purposes (and/or foreign tax purposes, if applicable) and shall be subject to tax
and tax withholdings as appropriate. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold,
or require Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including
Participant’s FICA or employment tax obligations) required by law to be withheld with respect to the grant of the Stock Payment
Award Shares. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement, withhold, or allow
Participant to elect to have the Company withhold, Shares otherwise issuable upon the grant of the Stock Payment Award Shares (or
allow the surrender of Shares). The number of Shares so withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Shares that have
a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on
the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable
to supplemental taxable income.

Award Shares.

such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend

shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee
or the Board, or any employee or officer of the Company, shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation
made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Stock Payment Award Shares.

principal office, and any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant at Participant’s last address
reflected on the Company’s records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 4.2, either party may hereafter designate

maintained by the United States Postal Service.

 

4.3             
Titles and Headings. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation

this Agreement shall adversely affect the Stock Payment Award Shares in any material way without the prior written consent of Participant.
