Amendment to Deferred Compensation Plan
On November 7, 2023, the Board
of Directors (the “Board”) of Avid Bioservices, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted an amendment (the “First
Amendment”) to the Avid Bioservices, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan dated July 7, 2023 (the “Plan”). The First Amendment
makes certain modifications to the Plan in order to clarify that a participant who elects to defer equity awards, and therefore receives
an interest in the Company Stock Fund (as defined in the Plan), will not be permitted to diversify such interest by transferring amounts
out of the Company Stock Fund. In addition, the First Amendment makes certain modifications to clarify that distributions to a participant
under the Plan shall be made in a lump sum consisting of cash and/or equity depending upon the composition of such participant’s
deferral account at the time of such distribution.
The foregoing description
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amendment, a copy of which is filed as exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Exhibit 10.1
First Amendment to the
Avid Bioservices, Inc. Deferred Compensation
Plan
Effective as of July 7, 2023,
Avid Bioservices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), established the Avid Bioservices, Inc. Deferred Compensation
Plan (the “Plan”). By adoption of this instrument, the Company now desires to amend the Plan to make the clarifying
and administrative changes set forth below.
1.
This Amendment shall be effective as November 7, 2023.
2.
Section 6.2(d)(2) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(2) Amounts
cannot be transferred out of the Company Stock Fund.
3.
Section 6.2(d)(3) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(3) Any
election by a Participant to hypothetically invest any amount in the Company Stock Fund shall be subject to all applicable securities
law requirements, including but not limited to Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, promulgated by the Securities
Exchange Commission. To the extent that any election violates any securities law, rule or regulation, or rule or regulation of the Company
including, without limitation, the Company’s blackout policies, the election shall be void.
4.
Section 7.2(e) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(e) Unforeseeable
Emergency. A Participant may withdraw up to 100% of his or her Accounts
in the event that an Unforeseeable Emergency occurs prior to the day on which his or her benefit payments begin pursuant to Section 7.3
(Timing and Form of Distribution). The withdrawal may not exceed the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the Participant’s
Unforeseeable Emergency (including the amount of any federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result
from the withdrawal), as determined in compliance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(3)(ii). A Participant who wishes to withdraw
amounts pursuant to this Section 7.2(e) must submit, on a form provided by the Plan Administrator, a written request to the Plan Administrator
that: (i) describes the Unforeseeable Emergency for which the withdrawal is being requested; (ii) describes the amount needed
to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency, which amount may include any federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated
to result from the withdrawal; (iii) includes a representation that the Unforeseeable Emergency cannot reasonably be relieved through
(1) reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; (2) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets to the extent
the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause a severe financial hardship; or (3) by cessation of Deferrals pursuant to this
Plan; (iv) identifies the date on which the withdrawal is being requested; and (v) provides any other information the Plan Administrator
deems necessary. The Participant must submit the written request at least 30 days prior to the date on which the Participant is requesting
the withdrawal. If the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, grants the Participant’s request for a withdrawal pursuant to this
Section 7.2(e), the Participant will receive a distribution in a single lump sum payment within 60 days following receipt of the Participant’s
written request. The decision to grant a Participant’s request for a withdrawal under this Section 7.2(e) shall be left to the absolute
discretion of the Plan Administrator and the Plan Administrator may deny such request for any or no reason even if an Unforeseeable Emergency
clearly exists.
5.
Section 7.3(a)(2) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(2) If
the Participant incurs a Separation from Service at or after age 60, or prior to age 60 with more than five (5) Years of Service, then
all amounts distributable on account of Separation from Service shall be made, consistent with the Participant’s Deferral Agreement
elections, either in a single lump sum payment or in annual installments over a one (1) to 10 year period. In the event amounts are distributed
in a single lump sum, payment will be made within 60 days following the Separation from Service. In the event amounts are distributed
in installments, the first installment shall be paid within 60 days following the Separation from Service and each subsequent installment
shall be paid within the first 60 days of the applicable anniversary of the first installment payment date. Installment distributions
shall be subject to such uniform rules and procedures as may be adopted by the Plan Administrator from time to time. Each installment
payment is to be treated as a separate payment pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).
6.
Section 7.3(b) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(b) DISABILITY.
All amounts distributable on account of a Participant’s Disability shall be made in a single lump sum payment within 60 days following
the date of the Participant’s Disability. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Participant becomes Disabled after installment payments
have commenced, all amounts due to the Participant and/or Beneficiary shall be accelerated and paid in a single lump sum payment within
60 days following the date of the Participant’s Disability.
7.
Section 7.3(c) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(c) Death.
All amounts distributable on account of a Participant’s death shall be made in a single lump sum payment within 60 days following
the date of the Participant’s death. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Participant dies after installment payments have commenced,
all amounts due to the Participant and/or Beneficiary shall be accelerated and paid in a single lump sum payment within 60 days following
the date of the Participant’s death.
8.
Section 7.3(d) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(d) SPECIFIED
DATES. All amounts distributable on account of the Participant’s election
to receive a distribution of all or a designated portion of his accounts on a specified date must be deferred for at least three (3) years.
Such amounts shall be paid, consistent with the Participant’s Deferral Agreement elections, either in a single lump sum payment
or in annual installments over a one (1) to five (5) year period. In the event amounts are distributed in a single lump sum, payment will
be made within 60 days following the specified date selected by the Participant in his or her Distribution Election Form. In the event
amounts are distributed in installments, the first installment shall be paid within 60 days following the specified date selected by the
Participant in his or her Distribution Election Form and each subsequent installment shall be paid within the first 60 days of the applicable
anniversary of the first installment payment date. Installment distributions shall be subject to such uniform rules and procedures as
may be adopted by the Plan Administrator from time to time. Each installment payment is to be treated as a separate payment pursuant to
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).
9.
Section 7.3(e) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(e) Election.
The form of distribution for amounts distributable on account of Separation from Service or upon a specified date or dates shall be designated
by the Participant in a Distribution Election Form (which may be contained in and be a part of a Deferral Agreement). The Distribution
Election Form must comply with provisions of Section 3.4 (Deferral Agreement). If a Participant fails to return a completed
Distribution Election Form for a Plan Year subsequent to completing his or her initial Distribution Election Form, such Participant shall
not be deemed to have continued the same election from the prior Plan Year. Once elected, a Participant may change his or her
prior distribution election by filing a new Distribution Election Form in accordance with Section 7.3(f) (Timing and Form of Distribution
- Changes in Time and Form of Distribution). If a revised Distribution Election Form is not honored because it was not timely filed,
distributions shall be made pursuant to the most recent valid Distribution Election Form filed by the Participant. If no valid Distribution
Election Form exists, the Participant’s Account will be distributed in a single lump payment.
10.
Section 7.7 of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
7.7 SMALL
ACCOUNT BALANCES. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary,
in the event that the amount credited to the Participant’s Accounts as of the date his or her payments commence is less than the
applicable dollar amount under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code, the Plan Administrator may elect to pay the amount credited to the Participant’s
Accounts in a lump sum payment. The Plan Administrator must inform the Participant in writing on or before the date of a distribution
pursuant to this Section that the Plan Administrator has elected to distribute the Participant’s Accounts pursuant to this Section.
Any payment to a Participant pursuant to this Section must represent the complete liquidation of the Participant’s interest in the
Plan.
11.
This Amendment shall only amend the provisions of the Plan referred to above, and those provisions not amended hereby shall be
considered in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Amendment shall supersede the provisions of the Plan to the extent
those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions and intent of this Amendment.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company
has caused this Amendment to be executed as of this 14th day of November, 2023.
