INDUCEMENT STOCK OPTION GRANT NOTICE AND AGREEMENT

To: Hamid Erfanian (referred to herein as “Grantee” or “you”)

WHEREAS, Enzo Biochem, Inc. (the “Company”) desires to employ the Grantee as its Chief Executive Officer;

WHEREAS, in an Executive Employment Agreement dated October 14, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”), the Company has agreed to grant the Grantee an inducement stock option award for 700,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”); and

WHEREAS, such options will be granted on the terms and conditions set forth herein and the Grantee finds such terms and conditions to be acceptable.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the services performed and to be performed by the Grantee, the Company is pleased to confirm that you have been granted Nonqualified Stock Options (the “Stock Options”), effective November 8, 2021 (the “Grant Date”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Except as specifically provided to the contrary under this Inducement Stock Option Grant Notice and Agreement (this “Agreement”), this Award shall be construed and administered in accordance with the Enzo Biochem, Inc. 2011 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The Award subject to this Agreement shall not be charged against the Plan’s share reserve and is being granted outside of the Plan as an inducement award under pertinent New York Stock Exchange regulations.

1. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions. To be eligible to receive this Award, you must acknowledge and accept this Award within 75 days after the Grant Date in accordance with procedures established by the Company. By accepting this Agreement, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions herein, the Plan and any and all conditions established by the Company in connection with Awards issued under the Plan, and you further acknowledge and agree that this Award does not confer any legal or equitable right (other than those rights constituting the Award itself) against the Company or any Subsidiary directly or indirectly, or give rise to any cause of action at law or in equity against the Company or any Subsidiary. If you do not accept this Award in accordance with the procedures outlined in this Paragraph and within the 75-day period described above, the Award will be cancelled and forfeited. By accepting this Agreement, you also acknowledge that you are fluent in the English language and have reviewed and understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.

2. Exercise Right. Subject to the restrictions, limitations, terms and conditions specified in the Plan and this Agreement, the Company has granted you as of the Grant Date the right to purchase, on the terms and conditions set forth below, 700,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”) at the exercise price of $3.39 (the “Exercise Price”).

3. Option Type. This Award is comprised of Nonqualified Stock Options and is intended to conform in all respects with the Plan. This Award is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

4. Expiration Date. The Option Shares granted herein expire on the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”), subject to earlier expiration upon certain termination of employment, as provided the Plan and the Employment Agreement.

5. Vesting. This Award may be exercised only to the extent it has vested. Except as provided below in the Plan and the Employment Agreement, these Option Shares will remain restricted until the end of each applicable vesting date set forth below (each, a “Vesting Date”). The Stock Options are not transferable by the Grantee by means of sale, assignment, exchange, pledge, or otherwise. For each of the below-stated Vesting Dates on which you continue to be employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Enzo Companies”), you will vest in the below-stated percentage of the total number of Option Shares awarded in this Agreement, until you are 100% vested:

6.  Termination of Employment and Change in Control.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Sections 2.3 and 5 of the Employment Agreement shall apply to the Options.  Upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control,” Section 8 of the Plan shall apply to the Options to the extent determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and without any requirement that Grantee be treated consistently with participants under the Plan.

7. Exercise.  This Award may be exercised in whole or in part for the number of Option Shares designated by you on either a paper form specified by the Company or via electronic instructions to the Company’s designated agent.  Any such exercise of this Award shall be accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price for such number of Option Shares.  Payment of the Exercise Price may be made in one of the following forms, as permitted by the Committee from time to time in its sole discretion:

a. in cash;

b. by surrendering previously acquired shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) at the time of exercise equal to the Exercise Price;

c. by certifying ownership of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the Exercise Price in exchange for a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Award; or

d. to the extent permitted by applicable law, by delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to (1) promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale proceeds from the Stock Option shares or loan proceeds to pay the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes due to the Company, and (2) deliver to you the balance of the Stock Option proceeds in the form of cash or shares of Common Stock (as you select; provided, however, cash delivery is not available to active employees of the Company).

You are required, not later than the date as of which the exercise of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, to pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event.  You may elect, subject to such terms and conditions may from time to time be approved by the Committee in its discretion, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold such number of shares of Common Stock not in excess of the maximum amount required to satisfy federal, state and local tax withholding attributable to the exercise of this Award.

In connection with any payment of the Exercise Price by surrender or attesting to the ownership of shares of Common Stock, proof acceptable to the Company shall be submitted substantiating the shares owned.  The value of previously acquired shares submitted (directly or by attestation) in payment for the Option Shares purchased upon exercise shall be equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of such previously acquired shares on the date of the exercise.  Option Shares will be considered finally exercised on the date on which your payment of the Exercise Price has been received by the Company.  The exercise of any portion of this Award will be considered your acceptance of all terms and conditions specified in this Agreement.  You are personally responsible for the payment of all taxes related to the exercise. 

8. Forfeiture/Right of Offset. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if you engage in any activity inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company or any Subsidiary, including but not limited to any violations of the terms of the Employment Agreement or the Plan (collectively referred to as “wrongful conduct”), then (i) this Award, to the extent it remains unexercised, shall terminate automatically and (ii) you shall pay to the Company in cash any financial gain you realized from exercising all or a portion of this Award. For purposes of this Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 19 below, financial gain shall equal, on each date of exercise during the 12- month period immediately preceding such wrongful conduct, the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise and the Exercise Price, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to that exercise (without reduction for any shares of Common Stock surrendered or attested to) reduced by any taxes paid in countries other than the United States with respect to such vesting and which taxes are not otherwise eligible for refund from the taxing authorities. By accepting this Agreement, you consent to and authorize the Company to deduct any amounts you owe to the Company under this Paragraph from any amounts payable by the Company to you for any reason. This right of set-off is in addition to any other remedies the Company may have against you for your breach of this Agreement. In addition, by accepting this Agreement, you consent to and authorize the Company to deduct any amounts you owe to the Company for any reason from any amounts payable by the Company to you under this Agreement.

The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the Award described herein (and any settlement thereof) are also subject to the terms and conditions of Company’s clawback policy as may be in effect from time to time specifically to implement Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (including applicable rules and regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock may be traded) (the “Compensation Recovery Policy”), and that relevant sections of this Agreement shall be deemed superseded by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Compensation Recovery Policy from and after the effective date thereof.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, you shall not be restricted from: (i) disclosing information that is required to be disclosed by law, court order or other valid and appropriate legal process; provided, however, that in the event such disclosure is required by law, you shall provide the Company with prompt notice of such requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order prior to any such required disclosure by you; or (ii) reporting possible violations of the laws of your country or of United States federal, state, or local law or regulation to any governmental agency or commission (each a “Government Agency”), filing a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other Government Agency, participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of the laws of your country or of United States federal, state, or local law or regulation. In the event of (ii), you shall not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, you shall not be required to notify the Company that you have made such reports or disclosures, and you acknowledge that you have waived your right to receive any monetary payment from the Company in connection with any such reports or disclosures or any ensuing charge or investigation.

You are hereby notified that under the Defend Trade Secrets Act: (i) no individual will be held criminally or civilly liable under federal or state trade secret law for disclosure of a trade secret (as defined in the Economic Espionage Act) that is: (A) made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (B) made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is not made public; and (ii) an individual who pursues a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of the law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except as permitted by court order.

10. Rights as a Stockholder. You shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company in respect of the Option Shares, including the right to vote, until and unless the Option Shares have vested and unless ownership of such Option Shares has been transferred to you.
