Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Exclusive Channel Collaboration Agreement

On August 6, 2012, Synthetic Biologics, Inc. (the “Company”) expanded its relationship with Intrexon Corporation (“Intrexon”) and entered into an Exclusive Channel Collaboration Agreement (the “Channel Agreement”) with Intrexon that governs a “channel collaboration” arrangement in which the Company will use Intrexon’s technology relating to the identification, design and production of human antibodies and DNA vectors for the development and commercialization of a series of monoclonal antibody therapies for the treatment of certain serious infectious diseases (collectively, the “Program”). The Channel Agreement establishes committees comprised of Company and Intrexon representatives that will govern activities related to the Program in the areas of project establishment, chemistry, manufacturing and controls, clinical and regulatory matters, commercialization efforts and intellectual property.

The Channel Agreement grants the Company a worldwide exclusive license to use specified patents and other intellectual property of Intrexon in connection with the research, development, use, importing, manufacture, sale, and offer for sale of monoclonal antibody therapies for the treatment of eight specific target infectious disease indications (the “Field”). Initially, the Company’s development efforts will target three infectious diseases within the Field. Within the first two years of the collaboration, the Company has the right to exchange its initial three targets on a one-for-one basis with any of the other five targeted infectious diseases in the Field at no additional cost. The Company also has the option, within such two year period, to choose to develop any or all of the other five target diseases in the Field, upon payment of the additional consideration described below. Such license is exclusive with respect to any clinical development, selling, offering for sale or other commercialization of the Company’s products within the Field (“Synthetic Products”), and otherwise is non-exclusive. The Company may not sublicense the rights described without Intrexon’s written consent.

Under the Channel Agreement, and subject to certain exceptions, the Company is responsible for, among other things, the performance of the Program including the development, commercialization and manufacturing of products.

Subject to certain expense allocations and other offsets provided in the Channel Agreement, the Company will pay Intrexon royalties on annual net sales of the Synthetic Products, calculated on a Synthetic Product-by-Synthetic Product basis. The Company has likewise agreed to pay Intrexon a percentage of quarterly revenue obtained from a sublicensor in the event of a sublicensing arrangement. In addition, in partial consideration for each party’s execution and delivery of the Channel Agreement, the Company entered into the Stock Issuance Agreement (as defined below) and the First Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below). The Channel Agreement, Stock Issuance Agreement and First Amendment to Registration Rights Agreements shall collectively be referred as the “Agreements”.

If any shareholder, exchange, board or member approvals of the issuance of the securities under the Stock Issuance Agreement is not received by 120 days after the effective date of the agreement, Intrexon has the right to terminate the Agreements. During the first 18 months, the Company may not terminate the Channel Agreement, except under limited circumstances. Following the first 18 months, the Company may voluntarily terminate the Channel Agreement upon 90 days written notice to Intrexon. Intrexon may also terminate the Channel Agreement if the Company elects not to pursue the development of a Program identified by Intrexon that is a “Superior Therapy” as defined in the Channel Agreement upon 60 days notice unless the Company remedies the circumstances giving rise to the termination during such notice period. Each party has the right to terminate the agreement upon 60 days notice if the other party commits a material breach of the Channel Agreement, subject to certain cure periods.

Upon termination of the Channel Agreement, the Company may continue to develop and commercialize any Synthetic Product that, at the time of termination satisfies one of the following:

	•	is being commercialized by the Company,
	•	has received regulatory approval,
	•	is a subject of an application for regulatory approval that is pending before the applicable regulatory authority,
	•	is a subject of at least a Phase 2 or Phase 3 clinical trial if such termination is by Intrexon due to a material breach by the Company of the Channel Agreement or by the Company upon 60 days notice after the first 18 months.

The Company’s obligation to pay the royalties described above with respect to these “retained” products will survive termination of the Channel Agreement.

Stock Issuance Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement

On August 6, 2012, the Company entered into a Stock Issuance Agreement with Intrexon pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to Intrexon a number of shares of Company common stock equal to the difference between (i) 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock of Company outstanding as of the date of the closing prior to the issuance of such shares, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock of Company held by Intrexon immediately prior to the Closing (the “Technology Access Shares”), which issuance will be deemed paid in partial consideration for the execution and delivery of the Channel Agreement.

The Company has also agreed upon the filing of an Investigational New Drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a Synthetic Product, or alternatively the filing of the first equivalent regulatory filing with a foreign regulatory agency (both as applicable, the “IND Milestone Event”), to pay Intrexon either (i) two million dollars ($2M) in cash, or (ii) that number of shares of Common Stock (the “IND Milestone Shares”) having a fair market value equaling two million dollars ($2M) where such fair market value is determined using published market data of the share price for Common Stock at the close of market on the business day immediately preceding the date of public announcement of attainment of the IND Milestone Event.

The Company has also agreed upon the first to occur of either first commercial sale of a Synthetic Product in a country or the granting of the regulatory approval of that Synthetic Product (both as applicable, the “Approval Milestone Event”), to pay to Intrexon either (i) three million dollars ($3M) in cash, or (ii) that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Approval Milestone Shares”) having a fair market value equaling three million dollars ($3M) where such fair market value is determined using published market data of the share price for Common Stock at the close of market on the business day immediately preceding the date of public announcement of attainment of the Approval Milestone Event.

The Company has also agreed that it will pay an optional and varying fee whereby the Company remits a payment, in cash or equity at the Company’s sole discretion, to Intrexon calculated as a multiple of the number of targets in excess of three (3) total that the Company desires to elect (the “Field Expansion Fee”). The Field Expansion Fee must be paid completely in either Common Stock or cash, and will comprise either (i) two million dollars ($2M) in cash for each target in excess of three (3) total that the Company will elect, or (ii) that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Field Expansion Fee Shares”) having a fair market value equaling two million dollars ($2M) for each such target that Company will elect in excess of three where such fair market value is determined using published market data establishing the volume-weighted average price for a share of Common Stock over the thirty (30) day period immediately preceding the date of the Field Expansion Fee Closing.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Stock Issuance Agreement, and pursuant to the First Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement executed and delivered by the parties at the closing, the Company agreed to file a “resale” registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the shares issued and to be issued under the Stock Issuance Agreement. None of the shares to be issued under the Stock Issuance Agreement need to be registered until April 30, 2013. Under that agreement, the Company will be obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the “resale” registration statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable after filing and to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until all securities therein are sold or are otherwise can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, without any restrictions.

The foregoing description of each of the Channel Agreement, the Stock Issuance Agreement and the First Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The benefits of the representations and warranties set forth in the Channel Agreement, the Stock Issuance Agreement and the First Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement are intended to be relied upon by the parties to such agreements only and, except as otherwise expressly provided therein, do not constitute continuing representations and warranties to any other party or for any other purpose. The press release dated August 8, 2012 announcing the transactions described above is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The disclosure in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference thereto. The offer and issuance of the Technology Access Shares, IND Milestone Shares, Approval Milestone Shares and Field Expansion Fee Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 at the time of issuance, and therefore may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. For these issuances, the Company intends to rely on the exemption from federal registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, based on the Company’s belief that the offer and sale of the Technology Access Shares, IND Milestone Shares, Approval Milestone Shares and Field Expansion Fee Shares has not and will not involve a public offering as Intrexon is an “accredited investor” as defined under Section 501 promulgated under the Securities Act and no general solicitation has been involved in the offering.

Scope of Channel Collaboration; Management

2.1 Scope.

(a) Generally. The general purpose of the channel collaboration described in this Agreement will be to use the Intrexon Channel Technology to research, develop and commercialize products for use in the Field (collectively, the “Anti-Infectives Program”). As provided below, the JSC shall establish, monitor, and govern projects for the Anti-Infectives Program. Either Party may propose potential projects in the Field for review and consideration by the JSC.

(b) Initial Project for Immediate Commencement. The Parties as of the Effective Date have identified three specific targets in the Field as being desirable projects for immediate development under the Anti-Infectives Program (the “Primary Program Targets”), and the JSC will be directed upon its creation to produce, and thereafter initiate performance of, an initial research project for the production of Synthetic Products for each of the Primary Program Targets. The Primary Program Targets are : [*****]. Synthetic will review data derived from these research projects for the Primary Program Targets via the JSC and will use such to consider the scientific and commercial viability of the Primary Program Targets. The JSC, consistent with its authority herein and subject to Synthetic’s agreement to reimburse Intrexon for expenses relating thereto in accord with Section 4.7 below, may also authorize additional research projects for any of the five (5) other targets in the Field that are not Primary Program Targets. Such additional research projects may be authorized by the JSC prior to Synthetic making its election in accord with Section 2.1(c) below. Further, at any time prior to the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the election by Synthetic under Section 2.1(c), Synthetic at its sole discretion may suspend the initial research project for one or more of the Primary Program Targets, and swap for such, on a one-for-one basis, any of the five (5) other targets in the Field that are not Primary Program Targets. In the event that Synthetic swaps out a Primary Program Target as set forth in the previous sentence, or in the event that Synthetic otherwise suspends or terminates the initial research project for a Primary Program Target prior to making its election under Section 2.1(c), the definition of Field under Section 1.21 above will be automatically amended such that the suspended, terminated, or swapped-out Primary Program Target will be removed automatically, immediately and irrevocably from the Field, and thereby all obligations and rights

CONFIDENTIAL

of the Parties as set forth herein which are defined at least in part by or in conjunction with the Field will likewise be immediately amended as such from that time forward. In the event that Synthetic swaps out a Primary Program Target as set forth in the previous sentence, the Primary Program Targets will be automatically amended such that any swapped-out Primary Program Target is removed and replaced with the other target in the Field chosen to be swapped-in by Synthetic, and thereby all obligations and rights of the Parties as set forth herein which are defined at least in part by or in conjunction with the Primary Program Targets will likewise be immediately amended as such from that time forward. Any Synthetic Products corresponding to these suspended, terminated, or swapped-out Primary Program Targets will be treated as Reverted Products in accord with Section 10.4.

(c) Field Election. On or before the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date, Synthetic must notify Intrexon in writing of Synthetic’s final and binding election, which election identifies up to three (3) target toxins or diseases in the Field (as the Field is defined at the point in time of the notification, taking into account any amendments to its definition caused by operation of Section 2.1(b)). Such election must reference this Section 2.1(c), will be effective immediately upon receipt by Intrexon, and will cause the definition of Field under this agreement to be amended immediately and permanently such that the Field from that time forward shall include only those three (3) elected toxins or diseases (and not any of the toxins or diseases not elected). All rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement within and without the Field will be permanently altered accordingly from the date of receipt of that election forward for the remaining Term. For any of the target toxins or diseases in the Field that are not elected by Synthetic under this Section 2.1(c), Synthetic (i) shall immediately cease, and shall cause its Affiliates and, if applicable, (sub)licensees to immediately cease, all development and Commercialization of Synthetic Products pertaining thereto; (ii), shall not use or practice, nor shall it cause or permit any of its Affiliates or, if applicable, (sub)licensees to use or practice, directly or indirectly, any Intrexon IP with respect to such; and (iii) shall return to Intrexon, or destroy all copies thereto at Intrexon’s option, all data and materials relating to such not-elected indications. Any Synthetic Products corresponding to these not-elected indications will be treated as Reverted Products in accord with Section 10.4.

(d) Effect of No Election. In the event that Synthetic does not communicate an election to Intrexon under Section 2.1(c) on or before the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date, the definition of Field will be amended automatically, immediately and permanently such that on the day after the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date the Field shall include only the Primary Program Targets and not any of the other target toxins or diseases that are not Primary Program Targets. All rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement which are defined at least in part by or in conjunction with the Field will thereby be permanently altered accordingly for the remaining Term from that time forward.

(e) Option to Expand Field Election. Synthetic, at its sole option, may expand its election rights under Section 2.1(c) to enable it to elect up to five (5) additional indications from the list of items (a) through (h) in Section 1.21 if : (i) prior to or concurrent with making an election under Section 2.1(c) Synthetic notifies Intrexon in writing of its intent to expand its election rights in accord with this Section 2.1(e), and (ii) Synthetic remits a payment, in cash or equity at Synthetic’s sole discretion, to Intrexon

CONFIDENTIAL

of two million dollars ($2M) for each target in excess of three (3) that it desires to elect under Section 2.1(c). Any payment under this section made by Synthetic in equity must be made in compliance with the terms of the Equity Agreements. Any expansion of Synthetic’s election rights under Section 2.1(c) hereunder shall not be effective until the appropriate payment required under this Section 2.1(e) is received by Intrexon, and cannot be used to enable Synthetic to elect any targets that were already permanently removed from the Field under Section 2.1(b). Upon successful execution of the option to expand under this Section 2.1(e), all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement within and without the Field will be permanently altered accordingly from the date of receipt of that option forward for the remaining Term.

2.2 Committees.

(a) Generally. The Parties desire to establish several committees (collectively, “Committees”) to oversee the Anti-Infectives Program and to facilitate communications between the Parties with respect thereto.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Intrexon hereby grants to Synthetic a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use and display the Intrexon Trademarks, solely in connection with the Commercialization of Synthetic Products, in the promotional materials, packaging, and labeling for Synthetic Products, as provided under and in accordance with Section 4.9.

(c) For purposes of clarity, the licenses from Intrexon to Synthetic under Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b) will automatically change in conjunction with any amendments to the definition of Field in accord with Sections 2.1(c) through 2.1(e).

3.2 Sublicensing. Except as provided below, Synthetic shall not sublicense the rights granted under Section 3.1 to any Third Party, or transfer the Intrexon Materials to any Third Party, or otherwise grant any Third Party the right to research, develop, use, or Commercialize Synthetic Products or use or display the Intrexon Trademarks, in each case except with Intrexon’s written consent, which written consent may be withheld in Intrexon’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Synthetic shall have a limited right to sublicense under the circumstances described in Sections 3.2(a) and 3.2(b).

(a) Synthetic may transfer, to the extent reasonably necessary, Intrexon Materials that are or express active pharmaceutical ingredients to a Third Party contractor performing contract manufacturing, fill, and/or finish responsibilities for Synthetic Products, and may in connection therewith grant limited sublicenses necessary to enable such Third Party to perform such activities. If Synthetic transfers any Intrexon Materials under this Section 3.2(a), Synthetic will remain obligated to ensure that the rights of Intrexon in and to the Intrexon Materials and Intrexon IP and under the provisions of Articles 6 and 7 of this Agreement are not violated by any such Third Party contractor.

(b) Synthetic may, with Intrexon’s written consent, which consent cannot be unreasonably withheld, sublicense the rights granted under Section 3.1 to an Affiliate, or transfer the Intrexon Materials to an Affiliate, or grant an Affiliate the right to research, develop, use, or Commercialize Synthetic Products or use or display the Intrexon Trademarks. In the event that Intrexon consents to any such grant or transfer to an Affiliate, Synthetic shall remain responsible for, and be guarantor of, the performance by any such Affiliate and shall cause such Affiliate to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance (as though such Affiliate were Synthetic), including any payment obligations owed to Intrexon hereunder.

3.3 Limitation on Sublicensees. None of the enforcement rights under the Intrexon Patents that are granted to Synthetic pursuant to Section 6.3 shall be transferred to, or exercised by, a sublicensee except with Intrexon’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Intrexon’s sole discretion.

3.4 No Non-Permitted Use. Synthetic hereby covenants that it shall not, nor shall it permit any Affiliate or, if applicable, (sub)licensee, to use or practice, directly or indirectly, any Intrexon IP, Intrexon Channel Technology, or Intrexon Materials for any purposes other than those expressly permitted by this Agreement.

3.5 Exclusivity. Intrexon and Synthetic mutually agree that, under the channel collaboration established by this Agreement, it is intended that the Parties will be exclusive to each other in the Field. To this end, neither Intrexon nor its Affiliates shall make the Intrexon Channel Technology or Intrexon Materials available to any Third Party for the purpose of developing or Commercializing products in the Field (except as set forth in Section 3.2), and neither Intrexon nor any Affiliate shall pursue (either by itself or with a Third Party or Affiliate) the research, development or Commercialization of any product for purpose of sale in the Field, outside of the Anti-Infectives Program. Further, other than Synthetic’s activities within the Anti-Infectives Program, neither Synthetic nor its Affiliates shall pursue (either by itself or with a Third Party or Affiliate) the research, development or Commercialization of any product for purpose of sale in the Field.

3.6 Off Label Use. For purpose of clarity, (a) following the Commercial Sale of a Synthetic Product, the use by direct or indirect purchasers or other users of Synthetic Products outside the Field (i.e. “off label use”) shall not constitute a breach by Synthetic of the terms of Section 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5, provided that neither Synthetic nor its Affiliate (nor any Third Party under contract with either of them) marketed or promoted Synthetic Products for such off-label use; and (b) following the Commercial Sale of a product by Intrexon, an Intrexon Affiliate, or a Third Party sublicensee, collaborator, or partner of Intrexon, the use by direct or indirect purchasers or other users of such products in the Field (i.e. “off label use”) shall not constitute a breach by Intrexon of the terms of Section 3.5, provided that neither Intrexon nor its Affiliate (nor any Third Party under contract with either of them) marketed or promoted such products for such off-label use.

3.7 No Prohibition on Intrexon. Except as explicitly set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.5, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Intrexon from practicing or using the Intrexon Materials, Intrexon Channel Technology, and Intrexon IP for any purpose, and to grant to Third Parties the right to do the same. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Synthetic acknowledges that Intrexon has all rights, in Intrexon’s sole discretion, to make the Intrexon Materials, Intrexon Channel Technology (including any active pharmaceutical ingredient used in a Synthetic Product), and Intrexon IP available to Third Party channel partners or collaborators for use in fields outside the Field.

3.8 Rights to Clinical and Regulatory Data. Synthetic shall own and control all clinical data and regulatory filings relating to Commercialization of Synthetic Products during the Term. Synthetic shall provide at Intrexon’s request full copies of all clinical and non-clinical data and reports, regulatory filings, and communications from regulatory authorities that relate specifically and solely to Synthetic Products. To the extent that there exist any clinical and non-clinical data and reports, regulatory filings, and communications from regulatory authorities owned by Synthetic that relate both to Synthetic Products and other products produced by Synthetic outside the Field, Synthetic shall provide to Intrexon upon Intrexon’s request copies of the portions of such data, reports, filings, and communications that relate to Synthetic Products. Subject to its ongoing obligations of exclusivity under Section 3.5 and regarding off label use under 3.6, Intrexon shall be permitted, directly or in conjunction with or through partners or other channel collaborators, to reference this data, reports, filings, and communications relating to Synthetic Products in regulatory filings made to obtain regulatory approval for products indicated for use in fields outside the Field. Intrexon shall have the right to use any such information in developing and Commercializing products outside the Field and to license any Third Parties to do so. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.8, Intrexon shall not, outside of the Anti-Infectives Program, utilize knowingly any Synthetic clinical and non-clinical data or reports in support of obtaining regulatory approval for a product for use in the Field.

3.9 Third Party Licenses.

(a) [*****]shall obtain, [*****], any licenses from Third Parties that are required in order to practice the Intrexon Channel Technology in the Field where the licensed intellectual property is reasonably necessary for Intrexon to identify and characterize human antibodies (but specifically excluding intellectual property directed to any processes or methods for expressing monoclonal antibodies from cloned cells or methods of treating humans with antibodies for purposes of therapy) (“Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP”). Other than with respect to Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP, [*****] shall be solely responsible for obtaining, [*****], any licenses from Third Parties that [*****] determines, in its sole discretion, are required in order to lawfully make, use, sell, offer for sale, or import Synthetic Products (“Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP”). Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP and Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP are collectively referred to as “In-Licensed Program IP”.

(b) In the event that either Party desires to license from a Third Party any Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP or Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP, such Party shall so notify the other Party, and the IPC shall discuss such In-Licensed Program IP and its applicability to the Synthetic Products and to the Field. As provided above in Section 3.9(a), [*****] shall have the sole right and responsibility to pursue a license under Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP, and [*****] hereby covenants that it shall not itself directly license such Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP at any time, provided that [*****] may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such a license directly if the Third Party owner or licensee of such Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP brings an infringement action against [*****] or its Affiliates and, after written notice to [*****] of such action, [*****] fails to obtain a license to such Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP using Diligent Efforts within ninety (90) days after such notice. Following the IPC’s discussion of any Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP, subject to Section 3.8(c), [*****] shall have the right to pursue a license under Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP, [*****]. For the avoidance of doubt, [*****] may at any time obtain a license under Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP outside the Field, [*****], provided that if [*****] decides to seek to obtain such a license, it shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate its licensing activities in this regard with [*****].

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

(c) [*****] shall provide the proposed terms of any license under Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP and the final version of the definitive license agreement for any Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP to the IPC for review and discussion prior to signing, and shall consider [*****] comments thereto in good faith. To the extent that [*****] obtains a license under Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP, [*****] shall provide the final version of the definitive license agreement for such Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP to the IPC. If [*****] acquires rights under any In-Licensed Program IP outside the Field, it will do so on a non-exclusive basis unless it obtains the prior written consent of [*****] for such license outside the Field to be exclusive. For purposes of clarity, the foregoing requirement shall not restrict [*****]ability with respect to licensing intellectual property owned by a Third Party that is not required in order for [*****]to lawfully make, use, sell, offer for sale, or import Synthetic Products. Any Party that is pursuing a license to any In-Licensed Program IP with respect to the Field under this Section 3.9 shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status of any negotiations relating thereto. For purposes of clarity, (i) any costs incurred by [*****]in obtaining and maintaining licenses to Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP shall be borne solely by [*****], and (ii) any costs incurred by [*****]in obtaining and maintaining licenses to Complementary In-Licensed Third Party IP (and, to the limited extent provided in subsection (b), Supplemental In-Licensed Third Party IP) shall be borne solely by [*****].

(d) For any Third Party license under which Synthetic or its Affiliates obtain a license under Patents claiming inventions or know-how specific to or used or incorporated into the development, manufacture, and/or Commercialization of Synthetic Products, Synthetic shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Synthetic will have the ability, pursuant to Section 10.4(h), to assign such agreement to Intrexon or grant a sublicense to Intrexon thereunder (having the scope set forth in Section 10.4(h)).

(e) The licenses granted to Synthetic under Section 3.1 may include sublicenses under Intrexon IP that has been licensed to Intrexon by one or more Third Parties. Any such sublicenses are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable upstream license agreement, subject to the cost allocation set forth in Section 3.9(c), provided that Intrexon shall either provide unredacted copies of such upstream license agreements to Synthetic or shall disclose in writing to Synthetic all of such terms and conditions that are applicable to Synthetic. Synthetic shall not be responsible for complying with any provisions of such upstream license agreements unless, and to the extent that, such provisions have been disclosed to Synthetic as provided in the preceding sentence.

(f) If either Party receives notice from a Third Party concerning activities of a Party taken in conjunction with performance of obligations under this Agreement, which notice alleges infringement by a Party of, or offers license under, Patents or other intellectual property rights owned or controlled by that Third Party, the receiving Party shall inform the other party thereof within five (5) business days.

(a) As part of the Therapeutic Program, Intrexon shall be tasked with the development of one or more cell lines and may be asked by the JSC or CMCC to research and develop processes, and may thereafter validate such processes, for manufacturing one or more Synthetic Products hereunder. In connection with such research and development, a Third Party selected by Synthetic and approved by the JSC, which approval cannot be unreasonably withheld, may manufacture and supply pre-clinical quantities of each Synthetic Product. Intrexon shall provide, subject to reasonable controls concerning protecting all provided Intrexon Materials, to Synthetic or the selected Third Party such quantities of cells or other Intrexon Materials reasonable necessary for the pre-commercial development activities hereunder, at Synthetic expense, said expense approved in advance by written confirmation of the JSC.

(b) Intrexon shall have the option to present a proposal for consideration to the JSC to be the manufacturer of the Synthetic Product, or component thereof, either in bulk form or as finished product, for Synthetic for clinical and/or commercialization use. Synthetic will determine whether Intrexon, or Synthetic’s or Intrexon’s proposed Third Party, is a manufacturer of a Synthetic Product. Synthetic shall make their determination as to the manufacturer of each Synthetic Product based on the commercially reasonable consideration of their standards and criteria, as applied in a manner consistent with that applied to the manufacture of other Synthetic products and in good faith. Upon Intrexon’s request, Synthetic shall provide Intrexon with a reasonable explanation and summary of the criteria that Synthetic used in deciding upon the manufacturer(s). In the event Intrexon is chosen by Synthetic to manufacture Synthetic Product under this Agreement, such supply shall be carried out under the terms negotiated by the Parties in good faith and set forth in separate supply and quality agreements.

CONFIDENTIAL

(c) In the event that Intrexon is not selected as the manufacturer for clinical and/or commercial quantities of a Synthetic Product, Synthetic will assume all responsibility and related expense for manufacturing and supply of clinical and/or commercial quantities of such Synthetic Product in accordance with a validation process. Intrexon shall work with Synthetic to coordinate the transfer to Synthetic, or Synthetic-designated contract manufacturer(s), any process developed to date, along with any additional Confidential Information or materials Controlled by Intrexon that is necessary for the manufacturing of such bulk drug substance and/or finished product for the sole purpose of manufacturing such bulk drug substance and/or finished product on behalf of Synthetic for use in connection with Synthetic’s exercise of its rights in the Field. The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Intrexon in carrying out such transfer shall be borne by Synthetic and shall be negotiated in good faith by the Parties at the time Synthetic exercises its rights under this Agreement. Synthetic, in consultation with Intrexon, will oversee process validation of such Synthetic Products at the Synthetic selected manufacturing site(s). The process, along with any additional manufacturing Information transferred hereunder to Synthetic or its contract manufacturer shall be deemed Confidential Information of Intrexon, and shall not be further transferred to any Third Party or Synthetic Affiliate without the prior written consent of Intrexon. Any such changes to the process provided by Intrexon to Synthetic are owned by Intrexon, with Synthetic having a non-exclusive license right (such non-exclusive right hereby granted to Synthetic by Intrexon) for purposes of exercising rights in the Field, pursuant to this Section 4.6.

4.7 Support Services. As set forth in Section 2.1(b), immediately following the Effective Date, Intrexon will begin providing support services to Synthetic by which Intrexon will conduct research and development of Synthetic Products on behalf of Synthetic for the Primary Program Targets. The JSC will meet promptly following the Effective Date and establish a plan for this research and development, and Synthetic will compensate Intrexon for such support services with cash payments equal to Intrexon’s Fully Loaded Cost in connection with such services. Additionally, from time to time, on an ongoing basis, Synthetic shall request, or Intrexon may propose, that Intrexon perform certain additional support services with respect to the Anti-Infectives Program. To the extent that the Parties mutually agree that Intrexon should perform such additional services, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms under which services would be performed, it being understood that Intrexon would be compensated for such services by cash payments equal to Intrexon’s Fully Loaded Cost in connection with such services. The JSC from time to time may reasonably determine that specific experiments under the Anti-Infectives Program require special therapeutic or technical expertise and thus should be conducted by Third Parties having such capabilities. Upon agreement by the Parties, the billing for any such work conducted by Third Party under the previous sentence may be billed directly to Synthetic or passed through to Synthetic.

4.8 Compliance with Law. Each Party shall comply, and shall ensure that its Affiliates, (sub)licensees and Third Party contractors comply, with all applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines applicable to the Anti-Infectives Program, including without limitation those relating to the transport, storage, and handling of Intrexon Materials and Synthetic Products.

4.9 Trademarks and Patent Marking. To the extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, Synthetic shall, and shall ensure that the packaging, promotional materials, and labeling for Synthetic Products shall carry, in a conspicuous location, the applicable Intrexon Trademark(s), subject to Synthetic’s reasonable approval of the size, position, and location thereof. Consistent with the U.S. patent laws, Synthetic shall ensure that Synthetic Products, or its packaging or accompanying literature as appropriate, bear applicable and appropriate patent markings for Intrexon Patent numbers. Synthetic shall provide Intrexon with copies of any materials containing the Intrexon Trademarks or patent markings prior to using or disseminating such materials, in order to obtain Intrexon’s approval thereof. Synthetic’s use of the Intrexon Trademarks and patent markings shall be subject to prior review and approval of the IPC. Synthetic acknowledges Intrexon’s sole ownership of the Intrexon Trademarks and agrees not to take any action inconsistent with such ownership. Synthetic covenants that it shall not use any trademark confusingly similar to any Intrexon Trademarks in connection with any products (including any Synthetic Product). From time to time during the Term, Intrexon shall have the right to obtain from Synthetic samples of Synthetic Product sold by Synthetic or its Affiliates or sublicensees, or other items which reflect public uses of the Intrexon Trademarks or patent markings, for the purpose of inspecting the quality of such Synthetic Products, the use of the Intrexon Trademarks, or the accuracy of the patent markings. In the event that Intrexon inspects under this Section 4.9, Intrexon shall notify the result of such inspection to Synthetic in writing thereafter. Synthetic shall comply with reasonable policies provided by Intrexon from time-to-time to maintain the goodwill and value of the Intrexon Trademarks.

4.10 Reporting Compliance. During the Term, in the event that Intrexon notifies Synthetic that Intrexon has reasonably concluded, after consultation with its outside advisors, that Intrexon will have to consolidate Synthetic’s financial statements with its own, for so long as Intrexon reasonably believes that such consolidation is necessary, Synthetic shall use its best efforts to comply with the following additional obligations:

(a) Synthetic shall maintain at its principal place of business or, upon notice to Intrexon, at such other place as Synthetic shall determine:

The rights granted pursuant to this Section 4.10(c) are expressly subject to compliance by Intrexon with the safety, security and confidentiality procedures and guidelines of Synthetic, as such procedures and guidelines may be established from time to time.

(d) As soon as available but no later than ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year, Synthetic shall cause to be prepared and Intrexon to be furnished with an audited balance sheet as of the last day of such fiscal year and an audited income statement, a statement of stockholders’ equity and statement of cash flows for Synthetic for such fiscal year and notes associated with each, in each case prepared in accordance with US GAAP, together with a report of Synthetic’s independent auditor that such statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Synthetic.

For three (3) years after each sale of Synthetic Product or after incurring any component item incorporated into a calculation of Net Sales, Synthetic shall keep (and shall ensure that its Affiliates and, if applicable, (sub)licensees shall keep) complete and accurate records of such sales or component item in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of the payment calculations hereunder.

5.7 Audits.

(a) Upon the written request of Intrexon, Synthetic shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of internationally recognized standing selected by Intrexon, and reasonably acceptable to Synthetic, to have access to and to review, during normal business hours and upon no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice, the applicable records of Synthetic and its Affiliates to verify the accuracy and timeliness of the reports and payments made by Synthetic under this Agreement. Such review may cover the records for sales made in any calendar year ending not more than three (3) years prior to the date of such request. The accounting firm shall disclose to both Parties whether the royalty reports and/or know-how reports conform to the provisions of this Agreement and/or US GAAP, as applicable, and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. Such audit may not be conducted more than once in any calendar year.

If the amount of the underpayment is greater than ten percent (10%) of the total amount actually owed for the period audited, then Synthetic shall in addition reimburse Intrexon for all costs related to such audit; otherwise, Intrexon shall pay all costs of the audit. In the event of overpayment, any amount of such overpayment shall be fully creditable against amounts payable for the immediately succeeding calendar quarter(s); provided, however, that such credit cannot be applied to reduce the amounts payable by Synthetic to Intrexon for any particular calendar quarter by more than [*****] of the amount otherwise due to Intrexon.

(c) Intrexon shall (i) treat all information that it receives under this Section 5.7 in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of Article 7 and (ii) cause its accounting firm to enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with Synthetic obligating such firm to retain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement, in each case except to the extent necessary for Intrexon to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

5.8 Taxes. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to obtain the benefit of any relevant tax treaties to minimize as far as reasonably possible any taxes which may be levied on any amounts payable hereunder. Synthetic shall deduct or withhold from any payments any taxes that it is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Intrexon is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of the rate of, or the elimination of, applicable withholding tax, it may deliver to Synthetic or the appropriate governmental authority (with the assistance of Synthetic to the extent that this is reasonably required and is expressly requested in writing) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve Synthetic of its obligation to withhold tax, and Synthetic shall apply the reduced rate of withholding tax, or dispense with withholding tax, as the case may be, provided that Synthetic has received evidence of Intrexon’s delivery of all applicable forms (and, if necessary, its receipt of appropriate governmental authorization) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time that the payment is due. If, in accordance with the foregoing, Synthetic withholds any amount, it shall make timely payment to the proper taxing authority of the withheld amount, and send to Intrexon proof of such payment within forty-five (45) days following that latter payment.

5.9 Late Payments. Any amount owed by Synthetic to Intrexon under this Agreement that is not paid within the applicable time period set forth herein shall accrue interest at the lower of (a) two percent (2%) per month, compounded, or (b) the highest rate permitted under applicable law.

(b) Synthetic shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Patents claiming Inventions that are owned by Synthetic or its Affiliates and not assigned to Intrexon under Section 6.1(c) (“Synthetic Program Patents”). At the reasonable request of Synthetic, Intrexon shall cooperate with Synthetic in connection with such filing, prosecution, and maintenance, at Synthetic’s expense.

(c) The Prosecuting Party shall be entitled to use patent counsel selected by it and reasonably acceptable to the non-Prosecuting Party (including in-house patent counsel as well as outside patent counsel) for the prosecution of the Intrexon Patents and Synthetic Program Patents, as applicable. The Prosecuting Party shall:

(i) regularly provide the other Party in advance with reasonable information relating to the Prosecuting Party’s prosecution of Patents hereunder, including by providing copies of substantive communications, notices and actions submitted to or received from the relevant patent authorities and copies of drafts of filings and correspondence that the Prosecuting Party proposes to submit to such patent authorities (it being understood that, to the extent that any such information is readily accessible to the public, the Prosecuting Party may, in lieu of directly providing copies of such information to such other Party, provide such other Party with sufficient information that will permit such other Party to access such information itself directly);

(ii) consider in good faith and consult with the non-Prosecuting Party regarding its timely comments with respect to the same; provided, however, that if, within fifteen (15) days after providing any documents to the non-Prosecuting Party for comment, the Prosecuting Party does not receive any written communication from the non-Prosecuting Party indicating that it has or may have comments on such document, the Prosecuting Party shall be entitled to assume that the non-Prosecuting Party has no comments thereon;

(iii) consult with the non-Prosecuting Party before taking any action that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the scope of claims within the Intrexon Patents and Synthetic Program Patents, as applicable.

As used above “Prosecuting Party” means Intrexon in the case of Intrexon Patents and Synthetic in the case of Synthetic Program Patents.

6.3 Infringement of Patents by Third Parties.

EXECUTION COPY

CONFIDENTIAL

(a) Except as expressly provided in the remainder of this Section 6.3, Intrexon shall have the sole right to take appropriate action against any person or entity directly or indirectly infringing any Intrexon Patent (or asserting that an Intrexon Patent is invalid or unenforceable) (collectively, “Infringement”), either by settlement or lawsuit or other appropriate action.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Synthetic shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to take appropriate action to enforce Product-Specific Program Patents against any Infringement that involves a commercially material amount of allegedly infringing activities in the Field (“Field Infringement”), either by settlement or lawsuit or other appropriate action. If Synthetic fails to take the appropriate steps to enforce Product-Specific Program Patents against any Field Infringement within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date one Party has provided notice to the other Party pursuant to Section 6.3(g) of such Field Infringement, then Intrexon shall have the right (but not the obligation), at its own expense, to enforce Product-Specific Program Patents against such Field Infringement, either by settlement or lawsuit or other appropriate action.

(c) With respect to any Field Infringement that cannot reasonably be abated through the enforcement of Product-Specific Program Patents pursuant to Section 6.3(b) but can reasonably be abated through the enforcement of Intrexon Patent(s) (other than the Product-Specific Program Patents), Intrexon shall be obligated to choose one of the following courses of action: (i) enforce one or more of the applicable Intrexon Patent(s) in a commercially reasonable manner against such Field Infringement, or (ii) [*****]. Intrexon and Synthetic shall bear the costs and expenses of such enforcement equally. The determination of which Intrexon Patent(s) to assert shall be made by Intrexon in its sole discretion; provided, however, that Intrexon shall consult in good faith with Synthetic on such determination. For the avoidance of doubt, Intrexon has no obligations under this Agreement to enforce any Intrexon Patents against, or otherwise abate, any Infringement that is not a Field Infringement.

(d) In the event a Party pursues an action under this Section 6.3, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate with the enforcing Party with respect to the investigation and prosecution of any alleged, threatened, or actual Infringement, at the enforcing Party’s expense (except with respect to an action under Section 6.3(c), where all costs and expenses will be shared equally in accordance with terms thereof).

(e) Synthetic shall not settle or otherwise compromise any action under this Section 6.3 in a way that diminishes the rights or interests of Intrexon outside the Field or adversely affects any Intrexon Patent without Intrexon’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Intrexon shall not settle or otherwise compromise any action under this Section 6.3 in a way that diminishes the rights or interests of Synthetic in the Field or adversely affects any Intrexon Patent with respect to the Field without Synthetic’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(f) Except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, any settlements, damages or other monetary awards recovered pursuant to a suit, proceeding, or action brought pursuant to Section 6.3 will be allocated first to the costs and expenses of the Party controlling such action, and second, to the costs and expenses (if any) of the other Party (to the extent not otherwise reimbursed), and any remaining amounts (the “Recovery”) will be shared by the Parties as follows: In any action initiated by Intrexon pursuant to Section 6.3(a) that does not involve Field Infringement, or in any action initiated by Intrexon pursuant to Section 6.3(b), Intrexon shall retain one hundred percent (100%) of any Recovery. In any action initiated by Synthetic pursuant to Section 6.3(b), Synthetic shall retain one hundred percent (100%) of any Recovery, but such Recovery shall be shared with Intrexon as Sublicensing Revenue. In any action initiated by Intrexon or Synthetic pursuant to Section 6.3(c), the Parties shall share the Recovery equally, and such Recovery shall not be deemed to constitute Sublicensing Revenue.

(g) Synthetic shall promptly notify Intrexon in writing of any suspected, alleged, threatened, or actual Infringement of which it becomes aware, and Intrexon shall promptly notify Synthetic in writing of any suspected, alleged, threatened, or actual Field Infringement of which it becomes aware.

11.2 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim which may arise between the Parties and not from a Committee, out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, arising out of or relating to the validity, construction, interpretation, enforceability, breach, performance, application or termination of this Agreement) that is not resolved pursuant to Section 11.1 shall, subject to Section 11.10, be settled by binding “baseball arbitration” as follows. Either Party, following the end of the thirty (30) day period referenced in Section 11.1, may refer such issue to arbitration by submitting a written notice of such request to the other Party, with the arbitration to be held in the state where the other Party’s principal office is located (or some other place as may be mutually agreed by the Parties). Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith and seek to agree on an arbitrator to resolve the issue, which arbitrator shall be neutral and independent of both Parties and all of their respective Affiliates, shall have significant experience and expertise in licensing and partnering agreements in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and shall have some experience in mediating or arbitrating issues relating to such agreements. If the Parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of request by a Party for arbitration, then each Party shall select an arbitrator meeting the foregoing criteria and the two (2) arbitrators so selected shall select within ten (10) days of their appointment a third arbitrator meeting the foregoing criteria. Within fifteen (15) days after an arbitrator(s) is selected (in the case of the three-person panel, when the third arbitrator is selected), each Party will deliver to both the arbitrator(s) and the other Party a detailed written proposal setting forth its proposed terms for the resolution for the matter at issue (the “Proposed Terms” of the Party) and a memorandum (the “Support Memorandum”) in support thereof. The Parties will also provide the arbitrator(s) a copy of this Agreement, as it may be amended at such time. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the other Party’s Proposed Terms and Support Memorandum, each Party may submit to the arbitrator(s) (with a copy to the other Party) a response to the other Party’s Support Memorandum. Neither Party may have any other communications (either written or oral) with the arbitrator(s) other than for the sole purpose of engaging the arbitrator or as expressly permitted in this Section 11.2; provided that, the arbitrator(s) may convene a hearing if the arbitrator(s) so chooses to ask questions of the Parties and hear oral argument and discussion regarding each Party’s Proposed Terms. Within sixty (60) days after the arbitrator’s appointment, the arbitrator(s) will select one of the two Proposed Terms (without modification) provided by the Parties that he or she believes is most consistent with the intention underlying and agreed principles set forth in this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final, binding, and unappealable. For clarity, the arbitrator(s) must select as the only method to resolve the matter at issue one of the two sets of Proposed Terms, and may not combine elements of both Proposed Terms or award any other relief or take any other action.

11.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

By entering into this agreement to arbitrate, the Parties expressly waive any claim for consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages. The only damages recoverable under this Agreement are direct compensatory damages.

11.5 Costs. Each Party shall bear its own legal fees. The arbitrator(s) shall assess his or her costs, fees and expenses against the Party losing the arbitration.

11.6 Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this Article 11 will preclude either Party from seeking equitable relief or interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding. Specifically, the Parties agree that a material breach by either Party of its obligations in Section 3.5 or Article 7 of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm to the other Party, for which damages may not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages for breach of this Agreement, upon an adequate showing of material breach of such Section 3.5 or Article 7, and without further proof of irreparable harm other than this acknowledgement, such non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek (a) immediate equitable relief, specifically including, but not limited to, both interim and permanent restraining orders and injunctions, without bond, and (b) such other and further equitable relief as the court may deem proper under the circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.6 shall otherwise limit a breaching Party’s opportunity to cure a material breach as permitted in accordance with Section 10.2.

11.7 Confidentiality. The arbitration proceeding shall be confidential and the arbitrator(s) shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard each Party’s Confidential Information. Except as required by law, no Party shall make (or instruct the arbitrator(s) to make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the arbitrator(s) without prior written consent of the other Party. The existence of any dispute submitted to arbitration, and the award, shall be kept in confidence by the Parties and the arbitrator(s), except as required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by applicable law.

11.8 Survivability. Any duty to arbitrate under this Agreement shall remain in effect and be enforceable after termination of this Agreement for any reason.

11.10 Patent Disputes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 11, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, any dispute, controversy or claim relating to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Intrexon Patents shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such Patent was filed or granted.

STOCK ISSUANCE AGREEMENT

This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 6, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Synthetic Biologics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Intrexon Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“Intrexon”).

A. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company is entering into an Exclusive Channel Collaboration Agreement with Intrexon (the “Channel Agreement”), pursuant to which Intrexon is licensing the rights to certain technology to the Company; and

B. In partial consideration of Intrexon’s license to the Company under the Channel Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to Intrexon certain shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Intrexon hereby agree as follows:

sECTION 1. Authorization of Issuance of Shares.

1.1 Technology Access Fee. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company has authorized the issuance to Intrexon of a certain number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the Technology Access Fee Closing (as hereinafter defined) as a technology access fee (the “Technology Access Fee Shares”), which number of Technology Access Fee Shares is equal to the difference between (i) 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock of Company outstanding as of the date of the Technology Access Fee Closing prior to the issuance of such shares, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock of Company held by Intrexon immediately prior to the Technology Access Fee Closing.

1.2 Milestones. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Channel Agreement, upon the attainment of certain commercialization milestones as for each Synthetic Product (as that term is defined in the Channel Agreement) developed under the Channel Agreement that reach such milestones, the Company has agreed to make milestone payments (each, whether in cash or equity, a “Milestone Payment” and together “Milestone Payments”) set forth below in Sections 1.2(a) and 1.2(b) to Intrexon, at the option of the Company, payable either in cash or in shares of Company Common Stock at the option of the Company, on certain dates following achievement of certain Milestone Events (as defined below).

50.

EXECUTION COPY
CONFIDENTIAL

(a) Upon the filing of an Investigational New Drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a Synthetic Product, or alternatively the filing of the first equivalent regulatory filing with a foreign regulatory agency (both as applicable, the “IND Milestone Event”), Company will pay to Intrexon either (i) two million dollars ($2M) in cash, or (ii) that number of shares of Common Stock (the “IND Milestone Shares”) having a fair market value equaling two million dollars ($2M) where such fair market value for this Section 1.2(a) is determined using published market data of the share price for Common Stock at the close of market on the business day immediately preceding the date of public announcement of attainment of the IND Milestone Event.

(b) Upon the first to occur of either first commercial sale of a Synthetic Product in a country or the granting of the regulatory approval of that Synthetic Product (both as applicable, the “Approval Milestone Event”), Company will pay to Intrexon either (i) three million dollars ($3M) in cash, or (ii) that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Approval Milestone Shares”) having a fair market value equaling three million dollars ($3M) where such fair market value for this Section 1.2(b) is determined using published market data of the share price for Common Stock at the close of market on the business day immediately preceding the date of public announcement of attainment of the Approval Milestone Event.

The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued under each of subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 1.2 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The event giving rise to an issuance of shares under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 1.2 shall be a “Milestone Event” and together, the “Milestone Events.” A Milestone Payment shall be due within thirty days following the date of the occurrence of a Milestone Event.

1.3 Field Expansion Fee. As set forth in Section 2.1(e) of the Channel Agreement, Company has agreed that it will pay an optional and varying fee whereby Synthetic remits a payment, in cash or equity at Synthetic’s sole discretion, to Intrexon for each additional indication elected under Section 2.1(e) of the Channel Agreement (the “Field Expansion Fee”). For clarity, if the Field, following the Field election by Synthetic required per Section 2.1(c) of the Channel Agreement, contains three (3) total or less targets, then neither this Section 1.3 nor Section 2.1(e) of the Channel Agreement will trigger any obligation for Synthetic to pay a Field Expansion Fee irrespective of whether any of such three (3) total or less targets have been previously swapped in by Synthetic for other targets in accord with Section 2.1(b) of the Channel Agreement. The Field Expansion Fee must be paid completely in either Common Stock or cash, and will comprise either (i) two million dollars ($2M) in cash for each such additional target elected under Section 2.1(e) of the Channel Agreement, or (ii) that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Field Expansion Fee Shares”) having a fair market value equaling two million dollars ($2M) for each such target that Company will so elect where such fair market value for this Section 1.3 is determined using published market data establishing the volume-weighted average price for a share of Common Stock over the thirty (30) day period immediately preceding the date of the Field Expansion Fee Closing (as defined below).

1.4 Capital Adjustments. If after the date hereof (i) the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall be subdivided or split into a greater number of shares or a dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of such Common Stock or (ii) the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined, then all share quantities in this Agreement not yet issued shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such stock split, stock dividend or conjunction. If after the date hereof (i) the Company shall pay a dividend in securities of the Company (other than in Common Stock) or of other property (including cash) on the Common Stock, or (ii) there shall occur any merger, consolidation, capital reorganization or reclassification in which the Common Stock is converted or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, the class or series of stock constituting the Common Stock for purposes of this Agreement, shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such other dividend, merger, consolidation, capital reorganization or reclassification. After any event referenced in clauses (i) through (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence is consummated, if applicable, all references herein to the Company’s Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to the capital stock or property (including cash) into or for which the Common Stock was converted or exchanged, with the necessary changes in detail. Nothing contained in this Section 1.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement will prevent or prohibit the dilution of Intrexon’s ownership interest in the Company or grant to Intrexon any preemptive rights.

1.5 Company Sale. In the event that the Company consummates a Company Sale (as defined below) prior to any one of the Subsequent Closings (as defined below), and the Channel Agreement is transferred or assigned to the buyer or assigned to the buyer in connection with such Company Sale, the Company and Intrexon agree that payments under Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of this Agreement shall be payable only in cash following the Company Sale.

sECTION 2. Closing and Delivery

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the Company will issue and sell to Intrexon, and Intrexon will purchase from the Company, at each of the Technology Access Fee Closing, the Milestone Closings (as hereinafter defined) if the Company has not elected to make the Milestone Payment in cash, and the Field Expansion Fee Closing (as hereinafter defined) if the Company has not elected to make the Field Expansion Fee payment in cash, the applicable number of shares as set forth above in Sections 1.1 through 1.3. The Parties agree that the consideration received by the Company hereunder shall be the execution and delivery by Intrexon of the Channel Agreement which consideration is at least equal to the par value of the shares issued or issuable under this Agreement.

The Company’s board of directors, at a meeting duly called and held, adopted resolutions approving the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance of the Technology Access Fee Shares, the Field Expansion Fee Shares, and the Milestone Shares issuable upon occurrence of the various Milestone Events in a manner consistent with and that meets the requirements of Nevada Corporate Code contained in Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

Worldwide Exclusive Collaboration for Infectious Diseases

-- Collaboration Harnesses Monoclonal Antibodies to Address Unmet Medical Needs --

-- Joint Conference Call Scheduled for Today, Wednesday, August 8, 2012 at 5:00pm(ET)/2:00pm(PT) --

For Immediate Release

Rockville, MD, and San Francisco, CA, August 8, 2012 – Synthetic Biologics, Inc. (NYSE Amex: SYN), a developer of synthetic biologics and innovative medicines for unmet medical needs, and Intrexon Corporation (Intrexon), a synthetic biology company that utilizes its proprietary technologies to provide control over cellular function, today entered into a second worldwide exclusive channel collaboration through which Synthetic Biologics intends to develop and commercialize a series of monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies for the treatment of certain infectious diseases not adequately addressed by existing therapies. Utilizing Intrexon’s comprehensive suite of proprietary technologies, including the mAbLogix™ platform for rapid discovery of fully human mAbs, Synthetic Biologics’ initial efforts will target three infectious disease indications. The collaboration may optionally be expanded to include up to an additional five infectious disease indications. Synthetic Biologics intends to disclose selected indications from time to time as business and commercial considerations dictate.

Jeffrey Riley, Chief Executive Officer of Synthetic Biologics, Inc., stated, “Through this second worldwide exclusive collaboration, we are pleased to strengthen our relationship with Intrexon and develop new therapeutics for unmet medical needs, in an effort to build value for our shareholders. Intrexon has state-of-the-art technologies and efficient processes that have tremendous potential for the production of a broad spectrum of fully human antibodies. This expanded relationship gives us access to this paradigm-changing platform.”

Saiid Zarrabian, President of Intrexon’s Protein Production Division, said, “We are very pleased to expand our relationship with Synthetic Biologics. Intrexon is committed to building a molecular toolkit and the scientific expertise needed to take on the challenges of developing new treatments for unmet medical needs. Intrexon’s collaboration with Synthetic Biologics represents the culmination of important acquired and internally developed technologies. Intrexon’s core technology, the UltraVector® platform for design, construction, and testing of genetic components, integrated with the mAbLogix™ platform for in vitro B-cell library production and the LEAP™ cell processing station, will allow for the rapid end-to-end development from fully human antibody discovery to therapeutic.”

Mr. Riley concluded, “We look forward to applying Intrexon’s competencies to the development of a series of monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of infectious diseases that take a tremendous worldwide toll on human life, and to disclosing more about our discovery targets in the near future.”

Under terms of the transaction agreements:

Synthetic Biologics will have broad access within the target indications to Intrexon’s comprehensive suite of proprietary technologies, including UltraVector^®, DNA and RNA MOD engineering, protein engineering, transcription control chemistry, genome engineering, mAbLogix™ human antibodies, LEAP™-based cell processing and cell system engineering.
Synthetic Biologics will issue to Intrexon approximately 3.6 million shares of its common stock as a technology access fee upon execution of the agreement; together with previously issued shares, immediately following this transaction Intrexon will own approximately 18% of Synthetic Biologics.
Synthetic will pay to Intrexon an additional fee, in cash or additional shares of common stock, should it elect to broaden the collaboration beyond the three initial disease indications.
Upon certain milestones (i.e., the filing of an Investigational New Drug application with the FDA and governmental approval/the initiation of commercial sales), Synthetic Biologics will pay Intrexon a milestone fee in cash or additional shares of common stock.
Subject to certain expense allocations, Synthetic Biologics will pay Intrexon quarterly royalties in cash on annualized worldwide net sales.

If the NYSE Amex approval of the issuance of the securities described above is not received within 120 days of the date of the execution of the exclusive channel agreement, Intrexon has the right to terminate the exclusive channel collaboration.

About Monoclonal Antibodies

Acting as the body's army, antibodies are proteins generally found in the blood that detect and destroy invaders, such as viruses and bacteria and their associated toxins. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are designed and made utilizing protein engineering and recombinant production technologies. The mAbs being developed under this collaboration are intended to supplement a patient's immune system by providing infected individuals with the means to specifically and rapidly neutralize and/or clear specific pathogens and toxins of interest in a process known as “passive immunity”. Many infectious diseases are innately resistant to, or over time have developed increased resistance to, antibiotics and other drugs. Synthetic Biologics intends to utilize Intrexon’s comprehensive suite of proprietary mAb design and recombinant protein production technologies to efficiently create potent candidate mAbs for human testing and use to specifically treat certain infectious diseases for which current therapies are unavailable or inadequate.
