STOCK ISSUANCE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK ISSUANCE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 5, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Fibrocell Science, Inc., a Delaware 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 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 (“Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

C. At the Closing (as hereinafter defined), the parties have agreed to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Rights Agreement”).

NOW THEREFORE, 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 Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company has authorized the issuance to Intrexon of that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock having a Fair Market Value of $3,293,800 (“Technology Access Fee Shares”) at the Technology Access Fee Shares Closing (as hereinafter defined).

1.2 Calculation of Fair Market Value. “Fair Market Value” will be determined by (i) the mutual agreement of Company and Intrexon, or, (ii) if the parties cannot agree as to the Fair Market Value prior to the Closing, then Fair Market Value will be established by the lowest share price for Common Stock paid by Third Security LLC, or its affiliates, in an equity financing that occurs immediately prior to, immediately following, or contemporaneously with, the Closing (the “Equity Financing”). The number of shares providing the Fair Market Value as determined under this Section 1.2 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

1.3 Capital Adjustments. If after the date hereof and prior to the date the Technology Access Fee Shares are issued (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.

SECTION 2. CLOSING AND DELIVERY

2.1 Issuance of Technology Access Fee Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Channel Agreement and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the Company will issue to Intrexon the Technology Access Fee Shares. 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 Technology Access Fee Shares issued hereunder.


2.2 Closing. The closing of the issuance of the Technology Access Fee Shares shall be held at the offices of the Company or at such other place as the Company and Intrexon may agree, and shall occur, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 9 hereof and applicable to the Technology Access Fee Shares Closing, on such other date as Intrexon and the Company may agree upon but in no event later than October 12, 2012 (the “Technology Access Fee Shares Closing” or the “Closing”).

Subject to and except as set forth in the SEC Documents, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Intrexon as of the date hereof as follows:

3.1 Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted and as described in the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), since the end of its most recently completed fiscal year through the date hereof, including, without limitation, its most recent report on Form 10-Q. The Company does not have any subsidiaries other than those identified in its most recent report on Form 10-Q. The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material Adverse Effect. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any effect on the business, operations, properties or financial condition of the Company that is material and adverse to the Company, taken as a whole, and any condition, circumstance or situation that would prohibit the Company from entering into and performing any of its obligations hereunder.

3.2 Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to issue the shares in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its board of directors or stockholders is required, except pursuant to Section 8. When executed and delivered by the Company, this Agreement shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application. 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.

3.3 Issuance of Shares. The shares to be issued and sold hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In addition, such shares will be free and clear of all liens, claims, charges, security interests or agreements, pledges, assignments, covenants, restrictions or other encumbrances created by, or imposed by, the Company (collectively, “Encumbrances”) and rights of refusal of any kind imposed by the Company (other than restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws) and the holder of such shares shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.

The Company is not required under federal, state, foreign or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or issue and sell the shares in accordance with the terms hereof (other than any filings, consents and approvals which may be required to be made by the Company under applicable state and federal securities laws, rules or regulations prior to or subsequent to the Closing).

During the year preceding this Agreement, the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the Commission pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (the “SEC Documents”). At the times of their respective filing, all such reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. At the times of their respective filings, such reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

3.8 Disclosure Controls. The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act). Since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

3.11 Litigation. No action, suit, proceeding or investigation is currently pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, has been threatened in writing against the Company that: (i) concerns or questions the validity of this Agreement; (ii) concerns or questions the right of the Company to enter into this Agreement; or (iii) is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is neither a party to nor subject to the provisions of any material order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company currently pending or that the Company intends to initiate that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.12 Compliance. Except for defaults or violations which are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company is not (i) in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company under), nor has the Company received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws, applicable to its business, except in each case for such defaults or violations as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Documents, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. “Person” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind.
