GOVERNANCE

2.1 JSC Establishment. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, the Parties agree to establish a joint steering committee (“JSC”) for the overall coordination and oversight of the Parties’ activities under this Agreement.

2.2 JSC Membership. The JSC shall be comprised of an equal number of representatives from each of Pfenex and Agila, with at least two (2) representatives from each Party. Either Party may replace its respective JSC representatives at any time with prior written notice to the other Party, provided that such replacement has comparable authority and scope of functional responsibility within that Party’s organization as the individual he or she is replacing. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall appoint by notice to the other Party one of its members to the JSC as a co-chair of the JSC (each, a “Co-Chair”). The Co-Chairs shall (a) coordinate and prepare the agenda and ensure the orderly conduct of the JSC’s meetings, (b) attend (subject to below) each meeting of the JSC, and (c) prepare and issue minutes of each meeting within ten (10) business days thereafter accurately reflecting the discussions and decisions of the JSC at such meeting. Such minutes from each JSC meeting shall not be finalized until a member from each Party has reviewed and approved the accuracy of such minutes in writing. The Co-Chairs shall solicit agenda items from the other JSC members and provide an agenda along with appropriate information for such agenda reasonably in advance (to the extent possible) of any meeting. In the event the presiding Co-Chair or another member of the JSC from either Party is unable to attend or participate in any meeting of the JSC, the Party who designated such member may designate a substitute representative for the meeting.

2.3 JSC Responsibilities. The role of the JSC shall be:

2.3.1 to review and approve the Development Plan for any Collaboration Product(s) and any amendment thereto;

2.3.2 to coordinate and oversee the transfer of Pfenex Materials and Deliverables to Agila;

2.3.3 to manage and oversee the implementation of the Development Plan for any Collaboration Product(s), including all regulatory activities required or otherwise conducted in accordance therewith;

2.3.4 to monitor each Phase I Clinical Trial conducted pursuant to the Development Plan for the respective Collaboration Product(s);

-7-

2.3.5 to provide a forum for the Parties to exchange information with respect to matters pertaining to and status of the performance of the Development Plan for any Collaboration Product(s);

2.3.6 to coordinate and oversee the transfer of any Collaboration Product(s) to the JVC pursuant to Section 3.9; and

2.4 JSC Meetings.

2.4.1 Conduct. During the Term, the JSC shall hold at least one (1) meeting per calendar quarter in accordance with a schedule established in advance annually or as the JSC otherwise agrees. Meetings of the JSC shall be effective only if at least one (1) representative of each Party is present or participating. The JSC may meet either (a) in person at either Party’s facilities or at such locations as the Parties may otherwise agree; or (b) by audio or video teleconference; provided that at least one (1) such meeting per year shall be in person. With the prior consent of the other Party’s representatives (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), each Party may invite non-member employees to participate in the discussions and meetings of the JSC, provided that such participants shall have no vote and shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Article 9 of this Agreement. Additional meetings of the JSC may also be held with the mutual consent of the Parties, or as required under this Agreement, and neither Party will unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to hold any such additional meeting. Each Party shall be responsible for all of its own expenses incurred in connection with participating in the JSC.

2.6 Alliance Manager. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement each Party shall appoint a single individual to act as the primary point of contact between the Parties

-8-

in connection with the performance of the Development Plans (each, an “Alliance Manager”). Each Party may at any time appoint a different Alliance Manager by written notice to the other Party and may elect, upon mutual agreement by the Parties, to eliminate the responsibilities of the Alliance Managers. The Alliance Managers shall be entitled to attend meetings of the JSC, but shall not have, or be deemed to have, any rights or responsibilities of a member of the JSC. Each Alliance Manager may bring any matter to the attention of the JSC where such Alliance Manager reasonably believes that such matter requires such attention.

2.7 Subcommittees. Promptly after the establishment of the JSC, the JSC shall establish the following subcommittees (each, a “Subcommittee”): (a) a preclinical, clinical and regulatory Subcommittee to coordinate and make all day-to-day decisions necessary to implement any preclinical or clinical studies and regulatory activities set forth in each Development Plan; (b) a chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) Subcommittee to coordinate and make all day-to-day decisions necessary to implement any manufacturing-related activities set forth in each Development Plan; (c) a commercialization Subcommittee to (i) propose business/ commercialization strategies and priorities with respect to the Collaboration Products for the review and approval of the JSC and (ii) coordinate and resolve any issue arising from the performance of each Development Plan that may impact such business/commercialization strategy for any Collaboration Product; (d) an intellectual property Subcommittee to develop and implement the intellectual property strategy with respect to Collaboration Technology and coordinate the prosecution and maintenance of patents and patent applications claiming any jointly owned Collaboration Technology; and (e) a Subcommittee to oversee and coordinate the transfer of various technologies as contemplated herein, whether between the Parties or to a Third Party. Each Subcommittee shall consist of equal number of representatives of each Party and shall meet with such frequency as the JSC determines is appropriate. Each Subcommittee shall be responsible for day-to-day implementation and operations of the activities under this Agreement for which it has or is otherwise assigned responsibility, provided that such implementation is not inconsistent with the express terms of this Agreement, the applicable Development Plan or the decisions of the JSC. Each Subcommittee shall operate by unanimous vote in all decisions, with each Party having one (1) vote and with at least one (1) representative from each Party participating in such vote. If, with respect to a matter that is subject to a Subcommittee’s decision-making authority, the Subcommittee cannot reach unanimity, the matter shall be referred to the Alliance Manager, who shall submit such matter to the JSC for resolution in accordance with Section 2.5. The various Subcommittees may have overlapping membership and the Parties will attempt to time meetings of the JSC and the various Subcommittees to maximize productivity of the members and minimize costs associated therewith.

Article 3

Each Development Plan will be updated and approved semi-annually by the JSC and shall be consistent with the general allocation of responsibilities described in Section 3.2 below. Without limiting the foregoing, any material modifications or additions to any Development Plan (including any proposed change(s) to any Third Party designee) shall be first approved by JSC prior to its implementation. Each Party shall perform its obligations allocated to it under each Development Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the diligence requirement set forth in Article 8), the applicable Development Plan and all Applicable Laws.
