WHEREAS, Glycotech occupies and operates the Facility under the terms of a lease agreement with Salisbury (“Glycotech Lease”) and owns certain personal property used in the operation of the Facility; and

 

WHEREAS, Glycotech and Purchaser are parties to that certain Production Services Agreement dated as of February 1, 2011 (“PSA”), pursuant to which Glycotech provides services to Purchaser at the Facility; and

 

WHEREAS, Salisbury desires to transfer, sell and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from Salisbury, the Real Property and certain personal property used in the operation of the Facility; Glycotech desires to transfer, sell and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from Glycotech, certain personal property used in the operation of the Facility; and the parties desire to terminate the Glycotech Lease and the PSA, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.            PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, each of Salisbury and Glycotech agrees to sell, transfer, assign, and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase all of Salisbury’s and Glycotech’s right, title, and interest in and to the Real Property, furniture, fixtures, equipment, and inventory, raw materials and supplies, and other tangible assets located at or used in connection with the Facility, including, without limitation, the following:

 

(a)          The Real Property, the buildings and improvements located thereon, and all tenements, hereditaments, rights, privileges, interests, easements, and appurtenances pertaining thereto (provided however it is acknowledged that Glycotech is excluded from this Section 1(a));

 

 
 

(b)          All manufacturing equipment, and all related equipment spare parts, tools, and appurtenances located on the Real Property, including the equipment listed on Schedule 1(b);

 

(c)          All Facility fixtures, machinery, and equipment, including, but not limited to, shelving, counters, work stations, and other personal property used for running the business conducted at the Facility, including the equipment listed on Schedule 1(c);

 

(d)          Facility operating supplies, including cleaning and janitorial supplies;

 

(e)          Inventory and raw materials, including the inventory and raw materials listed on Schedule 1(e);

 

(f)           Permits, licenses, and governmental approvals with respect to the operation of the Facility, to the extent transferable;

 

(g)          The contracts listed on Schedule 5(e); and

 

(h)          Records in Salisbury’s or Glycotech’s possession regarding the operation and maintenance of the Facility, including, without limitation, any applicable warranties, service manuals or other documents pertaining to the Assets, and records dealing with the employees at the Facility to be retained by Purchaser.

 

The property described in (a) through (h) is hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Assets.” Each of Salisbury and Glycotech, as the case may be, shall sell, transfer, assign, and convey the Assets to Purchaser free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, mortgages, security interests, charges, encumbrances, assessments (pending or confirmed), covenants, claims, restrictions, rights, options, conditional sale or other title retention agreement or financing leases of any kind or nature (collectively, “Lien” or “Liens”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Assets shall not include any underground storage tanks, known to Salisbury, which Salisbury has not disclosed to the Purchaser in writing prior the Effective Date.

 

Purchaser shall not assume or have any responsibility or liability for, and Salisbury and Glycotech shall retain, be responsible and liable for, and perform and discharge any liability or obligation (i) arising out of or relating to the ownership or operation of the Real Property, the Assets or the Facility prior to the Closing, (ii) arising or existing prior to the Closing under any contract or agreement relating to the Real Property, the Assets or the operation of the Facility, including with respect to any breach or noncompliance thereof prior to the Closing, (iii) arising out of the failure of Salisbury or Glycotech and their affiliates to comply with any laws, rules and regulations, and (iv) based upon Salisbury’s or Glycotech’s acts or omissions prior to or after the Closing (collectively, “Excluded Liabilities”). For clarity, the parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser owns all right, title and interest in and to the processes, procedures, instructions, formulations, techniques and similar matters related to the development, production or other activities under the PSA, and all intellectual property relating thereto, including all inventions, trade secrets, know-how and copyrights.

2.            PURCHASE PRICE. The consideration to be paid for the Assets (subject to adjustments as set forth herein) shall be Four Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($4,350,000.00) (“Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be payable as follows:

 

(a)          Subject to Section 12.13, a deposit of $100,000 (“Deposit”) shall be paid to Salisbury’s counsel (“Escrow Agent”) within three (3) business days after the date of this Agreement. The Deposit shall be applicable to the Purchase Price, but shall be non-refundable to Purchaser except in the event of (i) a breach of this Agreement by Salisbury or Glycotech or (ii) the failure of a closing condition to be satisfied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unless such failure is caused by Purchaser’s breach hereof.

 

(b)          $350,000, as a credit for the remaining Deposit Balance (as such term is defined in the PSA) owed to Purchaser in accordance with Section 6.1(a) of the PSA.

 

(c)          $500,000 to be paid in equal monthly installments of $100,000, with the first such payment to be made by transfer of the Deposit from Escrow Agent to Salisbury on the date the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated (“Closing”), and the four remaining payments to be made by Purchaser on the same day of the following four successive months. Any payment under this Section 2(c) shall be subject to a late fee of 5% if delinquent by more than five (5) days.

The Purchase Money Note shall provide for a late fee of 5% for any payments delinquent more than five (5) days. The Purchase Money Note shall be secured by a purchase money deed of trust encumbering the Real Property, and by a security interest in the Assets comprising personal property.

 

3.            EMPLOYEES. Glycotech’s employees at the Facility are listed on Schedule 3, together with each employee’s pay rate, date of hire, and job description. Glycotech agrees that Purchaser may conduct job interviews with, and make job offers to, Glycotech employees prior to the Closing as Purchaser may determine on an employee-by-employee basis; however, Purchaser has no obligation to interview, offer to hire, or hire any Glycotech employees. Prior to closing, Amyris will inform Glycotech reasonably in advance of closing of those employees Amyris intends to extend an offer of employment to, so that Glycotech may communicate with those employees Purchaser does not intend to extend an offer of employment to. Glycotech remains solely responsible for the compensation, benefits, paid time off and, if any, severance pay of its employees prior to closing and of employees not hired by Purchaser, and any severance benefits offered or provided by Glycotech to such employees will not be payable or reimbursable by Purchaser under the PSA or otherwise.
