reasonably aware of any Exclusion which may prohibit or limit the exclusivity rights granted by Amyris to Firmenich under this Agreement, including notification if a molecule proposed during the Steering Committee falls within the Exclusions. If any such Exclusion exists with respect to such Ingredient, Amyris must provide Firmenich written reasons justifying such Exclusion. For the Projects, Amyris will provide the contributions set out in section 3.2 and Firmenich will provide the contributions in section 3.3. The foregoing activities of the Parties are referred to as the “Collaboration” and will be conducted on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that the Collaboration is limited to the F&F Market except for the Exclusions and that they may compete in the Exclusions and in any market that is outside the F&F Market.

2.2    Research and Development. The Parties will cooperate to use Reasonable Efforts on the research and development of the Ingredients but only as directed from time to time by the Steering Committee using Amyris' Strain Generation Technology (each, a “Project”) on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Each Project will be conducted under a Work Plan, substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix A which is the Work Plan for the Initial Ingredient (except as needed to adjust for the particular Project). Each Work Plan will describe the research and development activities required to enable Amyris to manufacture the Ingredient to be produced under the Work Plan, as well as Target Cost, Ingredient Specifications, anticipated development timeline, estimate of resources required and a mutually agreed-upon set of development milestones. A Work Plan will be used by the Technical Committee and the Steering Committee to track progress and to allocate resources. It is expected that the division of responsibilities between the Parties will be similar for all Projects. For each new Project undertaken by the Parties, the Work Plan therefor will be entered into within 2 months of the Steering Committee's decision to proceed. During the development phase of each Project, each Ingredient delivered by Amyris to Firmenich will meet the Ingredient Specifications. The development responsibilities of each Party are set forth in more detail in Article 3 below. The term of the research and development activities hereunder shall be as set forth in Article 20 (Term and Termination).

2.3    Supply.

2.3.1    The goal of each Project is to develop the relevant Ingredient which meets the Ingredient Specifications for production and commercialization in the F&F Market. If the Steering Committee decides that Amyris is the nominated manufacturer and supplier of the Ingredient, Amyris will produce and sell the applicable Ingredient to Firmenich for use in the F&F Market under a Supply Agreement to be negotiated by the Parties. The Supply and Commercialization Agreement for the Initial Ingredient was previously completed by the Parties and is referred to herein as the “Supply Agreement for the Initial Ingredient.” It will remain in place until amended and replaced by the Supply Agreement. The Supply Agreement will be completed by June 2013, or such other date as may be agreed by the Parties, substantially in line with the principles set out in Appendix B, and thereafter will be the Supply Agreement for all Ingredients. Subject to the foregoing, the Ingredients will be produced by Amyris (or on behalf of Amyris) for supply to Firmenich on the terms and conditions set forth in the Supply Agreement. Firmenich will purchase the Ingredients in accordance with the Supply Agreement and, if necessary, conduct further finishing of the Ingredients, as it deems appropriate, for purposes of internal use as well as for external sale in the F&F Market.

2.3.2    If the Steering Committee decides that any Intermediate has commercial value for external sale or may be utilized by Firmenich for internal use and that Amyris is the nominated manufacturer and supplier of that Intermediate, that Intermediate may also be produced and sold under the Supply Agreement. Otherwise, the Parties will discuss in good faith the potential terms and conditions of such supply, providing however that both Parties must consent to such a supply arrangement.

2.4    Manufacturing.    For purposes of this Agreement and subject to Article 20, Amyris will perform the fermentation and isolation-related steps for the Intermediates and Ingredients, and Firmenich will perform the polishing of Ingredients, and, as agreed to on a case-by-case basis, the downstream chemical conversion and other transformation of the Intermediates or Ingredients, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Parties or expressly set out in this Agreement.

2.5    Commercialization. Firmenich will use, on a Reasonable Efforts basis, its marketing and distribution capabilities to sell Ingredients to the F&F Market except for the Exclusions, for purposes of internal use as well as for external third party sales. Firmenich will be responsible for developing a Business Plan for each Ingredient, and will use Reasonable Efforts to optimize the return on sales of the Ingredients for both Parties. Firmenich shall use Reasonable Efforts to market and sell such Ingredients in the F&F Market except for the Exclusions. The precise nature and elements of the marketing and sale activities shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of Firmenich. Ingredients for commercialization will be selected by the Steering Committee if they meet the milestones determined by the Steering Committee for each of them, such as Target Cost, olfactory standards as determined by Firmenich's perfumers, and ability to be produced on a commercial scale and at Target Cost. Firmenich shall keep the Steering

In the event of any deadlock at the Technical Committee, the matter will be escalated to the Steering Committee.

3.Development Responsibilities

3.1    Project Activities and Budget. Under the oversight of the Technical Committee and the Steering Committee, Amyris and Firmenich will each perform, or cause its Affiliates to perform, the activities designated for such Party in each Work Plan, in each case, in accordance with the timeline set forth in the Work Plan, as modified from time to time in accordance with this Agreement. The Work Plan for the Initial Ingredient is set forth in Appendix A hereto. The budget for each Project (the “Budget”) will be submitted to the Steering Committee for approval concurrently with the Work Plan for the Project. If the Technical Committee determines that a Project cannot be completed without exceeding the Budget for the Project by more than ten (10) percent, then the Technical Committee will submit a request to the Steering Committee to increase the Budget, provided that such request will not, in aggregate with the other Projects, exceed the Funding or the aggregate funding for the applicable year pursuant to section 3.10, as the case may be. Either Party, directly or through its representatives on the Technical Committee, may propose updates to the Work Plan to the Technical Committee from time to time as appropriate in light of changed circumstances. Any changes to the Work Plan, including the Budget, will require the consent of the Technical Committee and any increase in the Budget will require the consent of the Steering Committee. Firmenich will provide the Steering

Committee with a proposed model for the portfolio of Projects and priorities for the first three (3) years of the Collaboration (the “Strategic Model”), which shall be in the form appended hereto as Appendix C. Once the Strategic Model has been approved by the Steering Committee, Amyris will conduct its research and development activities in accordance with the Strategic Model, and any material deviation from it that is not corrected upon reasonable notice shall be considered a Material Breach by Amyris. However, the Steering Committee will regularly review the Strategic Model and make any adjustments if market conditions demonstrate benefits to change the priority of the development or production of the Ingredients.

3.2    Amyris Contributions and Responsibilities. Amyris shall provide Strain Generation Technology, Amyris Collaboration Intellectual Property, Amyris Background Intellectual Property and its research and development infrastructure, employee labor, pilot facilities and bio-manufacturing expertise. Amyris shall provide a core team to deliver Projects which will be supported by other Amyris employees or contractors with development and scale up expertise. Amyris shall only contribute funding as described in section 3.10. In addition, Amyris will be responsible to (a) develop and optimize a Strain or Strains for the production of each Ingredient in accordance with the Ingredient Specifications, including a process for the capture and isolation of the Ingredient from fermentation broth by conducting the activities in an approved Work Plan, (b) conduct process development and scale-up activities by conducting the activities in an approved Work Plan, (c) develop, at its sole cost, manufacturing capability for the initial production of commercial quantities of the Ingredient in accordance with the Start-Up Plan with the goal of achieving the Target Cost, (d) prepare and implement the portions of the Regulatory Plan for which it is responsible (e.g., relating to approvals required for operation of the production facility), (e) prepare and implement, at its sole cost, the portions of the Start-Up Plan for which it is responsible (e.g. relating to securing production capacity for the Ingredient), (f) propose updates to the Target Cost Model on an annual basis or whenever there is a material change in underlying assumptions (e.g., raw material purchasing strategy, fermentation productivity, batch time, labor, energy costs and geographical location) to optimize long term returns for both Parties, and (g) for potentially useful new products and technologies known to Amyris, including but not limited to new strain technologies, Amyris will inform the Steering Committee of such products and technologies, and Amyris will use reasonable and good faith efforts to be able to incorporate such products and technologies. Amyris further agrees to use its best efforts to obtain a license for the Collaboration to any Patents that would prevent the Parties from pursuing a Project. The Amyris FTEs and sub-contracting expense associated with Amyris' performance of the foregoing Work Plan activities will be included in Collaboration Costs (defined in section 4.1), which for the avoidance of doubt, is covered by the funding in section 3.10. Amyris will generally update the Target Cost Model and report on its activities under the Regulatory Plan and Start-Up Plan as needed, for presentation to and review by the Steering Committee on a quarterly basis. Amyris will discuss with Firmenich major decisions involving Intermediate and Ingredient manufacturing that may have a significant impact on long term returns for both Parties; provided that this does not affect any of Amyris' decision-making rights under this Agreement.

3.3    Firmenich Contributions and Responsibilities. Firmenich shall provide funding for the Collaboration as described in more detail in section 3.10. Firmenich will be responsible for (a) providing resources to assist Amyris in its development of Strains for the production of each Ingredient, including by providing the sequence of certain synthases, as specified in the Work Plan (but only if agreed to by the Parties after a review of data regarding the use of such synthases) and providing analytical methodologies and support; (b) providing expertise in downstream purification, polishing, distillation, blending, or other processing of the Ingredient to ensure that it will meet specifications unique to the F&F Market; (c)  preparing and implementing the portions of the Regulatory Plan for which it is responsible (e.g., TSCA and REACH), (d) preparing and implementing, at its sole cost, portions of the Start-Up Plan for which it is responsible (e.g. customer acceptance of the Ingredient in the F&F Market); and (e)  communicate changes in the Business Plan at least annually or whenever there is a material change in assumptions underlying the Business Plan (e.g. market pricing, estimated demand and competitive landscape) or in the costs of production and/or distributing a Product to optimize long term return for both Parties. Firmenich will generally update the Business Plan and report on its activities under the Regulatory Plan and Start-Up Plan as needed, for presentation to and review by the Steering Committee on a quarterly basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing will in no regard affect Firmenich's sole right to make decisions relating to sales and marketing strategy and operations with respect to each Intermediate or Ingredient, as the case may be, or require disclosure of Firmenich Confidential Information relating to its sales and marketing strategy or operations. Firmenich will discuss with Amyris major decisions involving sales and marketing of Firmenich Products that may have a significant impact on long term returns for both Parties with respect to each Ingredient; provided, that this does not affect any of Firmenich's decision-making rights under this Agreement. Firmenich will not be obliged, in connection with this Agreement, to provide to Amyris or Amyris Entities any Firmenich Non-Project Intellectual Property, any biological materials nor any chemical or other transformation of any Intermediate or Ingredient under this Agreement, except as Firmenich may expressly agree to provide pursuant to section 3.11.

3.4    Development Strain Escrow. Amyris will deposit, at Firmenich's expense (including reasonable expenses of Amyris FTEs), with a mutually agreed third party subject to an escrow agreement with the Parties (“Escrow Agent”),

9



for each Intermediate and Ingredient, as applicable (a) not less than five nor more than one hundred of the most advanced Strains developed under the Work Plan (the amount within such range to be determined by the Technical Committee), or if an Intermediate and Ingredient has been commercialized, the Commercial Strain; (b) a technical report (including strain development history) describing the work to date under the Work Plan; and (c) copies of all supporting SOPs and all other material development-related documentation for each Intermediate and Ingredient developed under its Work Plan (collectively the “Escrowed Materials”). Amyris will bank the most current Strains for each Intermediate and Ingredient that has not yet reached commercialization every 6 months during the term of this Agreement and at the completion of each milestone for that Intermediate or Ingredient. Amyris will also bank the most current version of the Escrowed Materials for a Strain that has been selected by Amyris to produce an Intermediate or Ingredient in commercial quantities according to commercial specifications (each, a “Commercial Strain”) every 6 months during the Term to reflect any changed Escrowed Materials for a Commercial Strain and, if Firmenich has the right to access such Escrowed Materials following expiration or termination of this Agreement, prior to anticipated expiration or termination of this Agreement to reflect any changed Escrowed Materials. Amyris must, inform, before each and every deposit, the Technical Committee of the timing and description of the Escrowed Materials to be deposited. Firmenich may also, from time to time, obtain access to the Escrowed Materials for audit purposes, in particular to verify that the Escrowed Materials have been properly submitted and stored (provided that such access shall not include the ability to read or make copies of the reports, documentation, Strains or Commercial Strains or take possession of any Escrowed Material and, if Amyris requires, Firmenich's representative must be accompanied by Amyris' representative during such audit) and to allow testing by an independent laboratory reasonably agreed to by the Parties to evidence that the Strains or Commercial Strains, as the case may be, meet the specifications. For the avoidance of doubt, such independent laboratory would not have limitations with respect to reading reports or documentation but could not maintain copies of any reports, documentation or Strains or Commercial Strains after completing testing. Firmenich will have the right to access such Escrowed Materials in connection with the exercise of the Second Source Option or the Discretionary Second Source Option. In addition, the Escrowed Materials will be released from escrow for Firmenich's access under the conditions set forth in Article 20. However, Amyris will have no escrow obligations under this section and Firmenich will not be entitled to such right of access, if Firmenich is then in Material Breach of this Agreement or an applicable Supply Agreement or experiencing an Event of Insolvency or Change in Control. Firmenich may not transfer the Commercial Strain to any Third Party other than as permitted under this Agreement to an Alternate Supplier who has agreed in writing to comply with the terms and conditions set forth in Appendix D.

3.5    Diligence. During the term of this Agreement, each Party will use Reasonable Efforts to conduct the activities assigned to it under this Article 3 and each Work Plan. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement and Work Plan (where there is an overlap in activities), each Party bears its own costs with respect to activities under the Start-Up Plan.

3.6    Regulatory Plan. All of the costs incurred by the Parties under any Regulatory Plan approved by the Steering Committee will be added together and funded 50% by each Party, on an on-going basis. For the avoidance of doubt, such costs shall only include costs after the Initial Ingredient. The costs of complying with the Regulatory Plan will be added to the applicable Budget, and the Steering Committee will decide at what time and in what manner the Parties will be reimbursed for their Regulatory Plan costs. Regulatory Plan costs of each Party must be paid or accounted for in connection with the distribution of any Profits.

3.7    Performance and Subcontracting. Each Party will perform its respective Project activities in material compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. In addition, each Party will be responsible for securing any regulatory or other governmental approvals in order to conduct the Project activities assigned to it, except as may otherwise be allocated in the Regulatory Plan or this Agreement. Either Party may subcontract the performance of its respective activities under this Agreement; provided that (a) the subcontracting Party will oversee the performance by its subcontractors of the subcontracted activities in a manner that would be reasonably expected to result in their timely and successful completion and will remain responsible for the performance of such activities in accordance with this Agreement and the Work Plan, and (b) any agreement pursuant to which a Party engages a subcontractor will (i) be consistent in all material respects with this Agreement and (ii) contain terms obligating such subcontractor to: (A) comply with the non-disclosure and non-use provisions of this Agreement; and (B) provide the non-subcontracting Party with substantially the same rights with respect to any intellectual property arising from the performance of the subcontracted obligation as the non-subcontracting Party would have under this Agreement if such intellectual property had arisen from the performance of such obligation by the subcontracting Party; provided, further, however, that the Parties will confer and reach agreement on the subcontracting of any strain engineering activities prior to any such subcontracting.

3.8    Records and Inspection. Each Party will maintain, or cause to be maintained, all records and documentation relating to its activities under each Project, in sufficient detail to support filing for intellectual property protection for the Collaboration Intellectual Property and in material compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. Such

10



records and documentation will be complete and accurate and will fully and properly reflect all work done under this Agreement, including in the performance of each Work Plan, and, when applicable, for use in connection with Patent filings, prosecution and maintenance for the Collaboration Intellectual Property. Such records and documentation will be retained for at least three (3) years or such longer period as may be required by applicable laws, rules and regulations. Each Party will use diligent efforts to ensure that such records and documentation include only information with respect to such activities and do not include, and are not commingled with, records of activities outside the Collaboration. Each Party will have the right, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to inspect and copy any records maintained by the other Party pursuant to this section 3.8, for use by the receiving Party solely in connection with the performance of the Collaboration in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement or the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement. Each Party will notify the other Party prior to destroying any records required to be maintained under this section 3.8 and the other Party will have the right to take custody of such records and documentation within thirty (30) business days after receipt of such notice.

3.9    Reports. Each Party will present a report to the Technical Committee at each of its quarterly meetings describing (a) the Work Plan activities that it has performed, or caused to be performed, over the preceding quarter and course of each Project, evaluating the work performed in relation to the goals and timeline of each Work Plan, (b) its research and development activities in process and the future activities it expects to initiate during the then-current calendar year, as compared to the Work Plan, and (c) in the case of Amyris, the Collaboration Costs (as defined in section 4.1) incurred, and expected to be incurred, for the then-current calendar year, as compared to the Budget set forth in the Work Plan. In addition, each Party will report promptly to the Technical Committee through its respective Technical Committee representatives any material developments with respect to activities that it is responsible for performing under the Work Plan. Each Party will present to the Steering Committee, at least once per calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement, a report describing (i) its activities pursuant to the Regulatory Plan performed, or caused to be performed, over the preceding quarter and the course of the Project, and evaluating the Parties' activities performed in relation to the goals and timelines of such plan and (ii) following preparation of the Start-Up Plan, its activities conducted, or caused to be conducted, pursuant thereto.

3.10    Funding.    

3.10.1    The following mechanism will be used to fund the activities under the Work Plan(s) for the first three (3) years of the Collaboration. Firmenich shall make a nonrefundable payment of US$10 million to Amyris for each of the first three (3) years of the Collaboration. The first such US$10 million payment will be received no later than March 31, 2013 and two more payments of US$10 million each will be made on each subsequent one year anniversary of the Effective Date for a total payment of US$30 million (“Funding”). The Funding will not be subject to increase or decrease at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing about the nature of these payments, including their nonrefundability, is meant to limit the remedies or damages or the amount thereof, if any, available to Firmenich under this Agreement. Failure to make any of these payments as scheduled shall be deemed a Material Breach unless Firmenich has the right to terminate for Cause.

3.10.2    In addition, Firmenich will make the following three milestone payments to Amyris on the following conditions:
Two million U.S. dollars (US$2,000,000) within thirty (30) days of achieving the Target Cost or less per kilogram of the Initial Ingredient meeting the Ingredient Specifications when the Initial Ingredient is produced by Amyris (or on its behalf) at a commercial scale (i.e., in a 40,000 liter fermenter or larger, at Amyris' option) (the “Qualifying Run”); provided, that in determining whether or not the Target Cost is achieved in such Qualifying Run, the Parties will use the agreed assumed costs of raw materials and fermentation as set forth in the Target Cost Model, not the actual costs for such raw materials and fermentation incurred by Amyris in such Qualifying Run;
One and one-half million U.S. dollars (US$1,500,000) within thirty (30) days of achieving a milestone for the next Ingredient, such milestone to be defined by the Technical Committee for that Ingredient; and
One and one-half million U.S. dollars (US$1,500,000) within thirty (30) days of achieving a milestone for a third Ingredient, such milestone to be defined by the Technical Committee for that Ingredient.

11



The second and third milestones above will be defined by the Technical Committee no later than June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively for each of the second and third Ingredients. The milestones will reflect achievement of certain technical parameters, such as yield and productivity of Strains, and/or delivery of a specified sample volume of the Ingredient such that it provides confidence to the Parties that Amyris has sufficiently progressed on the Project to allow the Parties to envision and plan for commercialization of the applicable Intermediate or Ingredient.
3.10.3    The Parties will each fund 50% of the Collaboration Costs (as defined in section 4.1) in years four (4) through to six (6) of the Collaboration. Firmenich shall pay its share of the funding to Amyris on a monthly basis at the start of thirty (30) days after the fourth (4th) year from the Effective Date. Payments will take place within thirty (30) days from Firmenich receiving the corresponding invoice from Amyris. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the total funding for the three (3) year period shall not exceed US$[*] million in aggregate with specific annual investments to be determined by the Steering Committee. If there is a disagreement between the Parties on the appropriate amount of funding for any year during years four (4) through to six (6) of the Collaboration, then Firmenich may solely decide the amount that it wishes to fund, and Amyris will not be required to contribute any funding beyond matching the amount provided by Firmenich. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, nothing in this Agreement shall require Amyris to fund Firmenich employees without Amyris consent at any time during the Collaboration. There is no obligation for either Party to fund any research and development commitments in year seven (7) and beyond, but if the Parties mutually agree to continue with a Project, any funding will be on a 50/50 basis. The method of payment for funding in year seven (7) and beyond will be mutually agreed to by the Parties.

3.11    Conversion from Intermediate to Ingredient

3.11.1    The Parties agree that, whenever possible, they will attempt to use Amyris Collaboration Intellectual Property to incorporate enzymatic steps to obtain an Ingredient.

3.11.2    If the Technical Committee determines that Amyris is unable to reach the Target Cost of any Ingredient through the use of Amyris Strain Generation Technology, or available Amyris Non-Project Intellectual Property or available Amyris Background Intellectual Property or decides for other reasons to go forward with developing the Ingredient from any Intermediate by using other technology, then the Steering Committee will determine the appropriate means of developing such Ingredient.

3.11.3    If Firmenich is willing to offer Firmenich Non-Project Intellectual Property to conduct conversion of an Intermediate to an Ingredient, and the Steering Committee decides that such conversion should reasonably be accomplished through the use of Firmenich Non-Project Intellectual Property, then any intellectual property conceived, reduced to practice, made or otherwise generated in connection with the research and development of any such Intermediate and/or modification of Intermediate(s) to develop such Ingredient(s), including without limitation any novel composition and methods of making such Ingredient from any Intermediate, shall be Firmenich Non-Project Intellectual Property. Firmenich Non-Project Intellectual Property shall only be used by the Collaboration in connection with this section 3.11.3.

3.11.4    In the case of section 3.11.3, the Parties will discuss in good faith a fair and reasonable royalty payment to be paid by Amyris to Firmenich for the use of Firmenich Non-Project Intellectual Property (“Firmenich Non-Project Royalty-Bearing Intellectual Property”) to develop such Ingredient. Such payments by Amyris to Firmenich may be via offsets or deductions against payments otherwise due to Amyris, as may be agreed by the Parties. The Parties shall agree upon such fair royalty payment within thirty (30) days, or such longer period as may be agreed by the Parties, of Firmenich's notice to commercialize such Ingredient. Any such payments shall reflect the value of the Firmenich Non-Project Royalty-Bearing Intellectual Property in the development of such Ingredient. Such royalty must be paid or accounted for in connection with the distribution of any Profit. If the Parties are unable to agree on such financial terms, they shall escalate such matter to the Chief Executive Officers for resolution in accordance with section 7.1 of this Agreement. For clarity, any license of Firmenich Non-Project Intellectual Property that is owned by a third party, shall be licensed subject to any obligations, financial or otherwise, incurred as a result of the grant or practice of any sublicense thereto, and Amyris must agree to comply with such obligations to obtain the applicable license rights.

3.11.5    If the Steering Committee decides that conversion of an Intermediate to an Ingredient may be best accomplished by a Third Party with sufficient expertise and reputation, the Parties will split the research and development for developing such Ingredient on a 50/50 basis. Any intellectual property conceived, reduced to practice, made or otherwise generated in connection with the research and development of any such


[*] Certain portions denoted with an asterisk have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

12



Intermediate and/or modification of Intermediate(s) to develop such Ingredient(s), including without limitation any novel composition and methods of making such Ingredient from any Intermediate, shall be Firmenich Non-Project Intellectual Property.

4.Audit Rights

4.1    Record Retention. Amyris will maintain (and will ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees will maintain) complete and accurate books, records and accounts that fairly reflect its costs of performing the activities assigned to it (the “Collaboration Costs”) in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of any payments required hereunder and in accordance with accounting standards set forth in section 4.5. Such books, records and accounts will be retained by Amyris until the later of (i) three (3) years after the end of the period to which such books, records and accounts pertain, and (ii) expiration of the applicable tax statute of limitations (or any extensions thereof), or for such longer period as may be required by applicable law.

4.2    Audit. Firmenich will have the right to have an independent certified public accounting firm of recognized standing, reasonably acceptable to Amyris, have access during normal business hours, and upon reasonable prior written notice, to such of the records of Amyris (and its Affiliates and sublicensees) as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the Collaboration Costs (especially Amyris' FTE costs) for any calendar quarter ending not more than twenty four (24) months prior to the date of such request; provided, however, that Firmenich will not have the right to conduct more than one such audit every twelve (12) months. The accounting firm will disclose to Firmenich whether such Collaboration Costs are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information will be provided to Firmenich. Firmenich will bear the cost of such audit unless the audit reveals that Amyris overreported its Collaboration Costs for the calendar quarters that are the subject of the audit by more than 5% of the actual Collaboration Costs for such calendar quarters, in which case Amyris will bear the cost of the audit. The results of such accounting firm will be final, absent manifest error.

4.3    Payment of Additional Amounts. If, based on the results of an audit conducted pursuant to section 4.2, a refund is owed by Amyris or additional payments are owed by Firmenich under this Agreement, such Party will make such refund or additional payments, as applicable, with interest from the date originally due at the rate of one percent (1%) per month, within sixty (60) days after the date on which such accounting firm's written report is delivered to such Party.

4.4    Confidentiality. Firmenich will treat all information subject to review under this Article 4 as Amyris Confidential Information in accordance with the confidentiality, non-use and non-disclosure provisions of Article 8 of this Agreement and will cause its independent certified public accounting firm to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement with Amyris obligating such firm to maintain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.

4.5    Accounting Standards. Financial calculations, including with respect to Collaboration Costs, required to be made hereunder will be made in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time, as consistently applied by the applicable Party.

4.6    Adjustments. In addition to the audit of Amyris FTE costs, Amyris will provide a report to the Steering Committee once a year, if requested by Firmenich, on its current FTE costs. The Parties agree that the cost per year for the first three years of the Collaboration for each Amyris FTE will be US$500,000 for the purposes of this Agreement. If the Amyris FTE costs decrease, Amyris will so update the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee will, after the first three (3) years of the Collaboration, determine if adjustments need to be made to the number of FTE's working on a Project based on the funding commitments and will work to optimize the efficiencies of the FTE's to progress as quickly as possible with each Project

5.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

shall be permitted but not obligated to provide Amyris with input on the determination of whether and where to seek patent protection and shall assist Amyris, at the reasonable request of Amyris, from time to time in connection with such activities with respect to the Amyris Collaboration Intellectual Property. For any application for such a Patent that Amyris files with respect to the Amyris Collaboration Intellectual Property which application claims or covers any Strain, Intermediate, Ingredient, or method of making the Strains, Amyris shall (a) prosecute a PCT application for such Patent designating all countries and a national filing for such Patent in each of the following jurisdictions unless otherwise agreed by Firmenich: United States, Brazil, Canada, China, European Union (with subsequent validation in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain), Mexico and such other countries as the Parties may agree in writing and (b) for any Patent issuing thereon, maintain such Patent in such countries until such time as this Agreement and the Supply Agreement have been terminated. The Parties will discuss in good faith whether and when to file in India depending on the potential for a negative impact on the protection of other Amyris intellectual property. For each such Patent application subject to the preceding sentence, Amyris shall confer with Firmenich and provide it an opportunity to review and comment on the scope of the claims, any communications received from any patent office relating to any substantive matter and responses to any such communications, but Amyris shall have the final authority in such prosecution activities. Amyris shall not unreasonably refuse any request of Firmenich to seek Patent protection in any jurisdiction with respect to any invention hereunder, especially if Firmenich reasonably demonstrates that it is required or useful for optimization of the Profits.

5.2.2    Firmenich Patents. Firmenich shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain Patents with respect to the Firmenich Background Intellectual Property, the Firmenich Non-Project Intellectual Property and Firmenich Collaboration Intellectual Property (collectively, “Firmenich Patents”), at its sole expense, including with respect to any related interference, re-issuance, re-examination and opposition proceedings. Amyris shall be permitted but not obligated to provide Firmenich with input on the determination of whether to seek patent protection and Amyris shall assist Firmenich, at the reasonable request of Firmenich from time to time in connection with such activities with respect to the Firmenich Patents. Firmenich shall not unreasonably refuse any request of Amyris to seek patent protection hereunder.

5.3    Enforcement of Patents.

5.3.1    Notice. If any Amyris Patent or Firmenich Patent is allegedly or actually infringed by a Third Party and such infringement involves an Intermediate or Ingredient and relates to the F&F Market except for the Exclusions (such infringement, an “Infringement”), the Party first having knowledge of such Infringement shall promptly notify the other Party in writing. The notice shall set forth the facts of such Infringement in reasonable detail.

5.3.2    Amyris Background Intellectual Property and Amyris Non-Project Intellectual Property. Amyris shall, at its sole cost, have the sole right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to initiate and conduct (including settle) an infringement action with respect to any Infringement of any Patents within the Amyris Background Intellectual Property or Amyris Non-Project Intellectual Property.

5.3.3    Amyris Collaboration Intellectual Property/Intermediate or Ingredient Composition. Firmenich shall, at its sole cost, have the first right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to initiate and conduct (including settle) an infringement action with respect to any Infringement of any Patent within the Amyris Collaboration Intellectual Property for any claim of infringement of a Patent claim covering the composition of matter of the Intermediate or Ingredient, or the use thereof. If Firmenich declines to exercise such first right, or fails to initiate such an action within 180 days of a request by Amyris that Firmenich commence such an action, then Amyris shall have the right to initiate and conduct such an infringement action, at its sole cost.

5.3.4    Amyris Collaboration Intellectual Property/Other Ingredient-Related Technology. Amyris shall, at its sole cost, have the first right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to initiate and conduct (including settle) an infringement action with respect to Amyris Collaboration Intellectual Property relating solely to (i) the crude fermentation-derived composition used to produce the Ingredient and/or (ii) the process of converting such crude composition into the Ingredient, and/or (iii) the Strains, and/or (iv) the use of the Strains to make the Ingredients. If Amyris declines to exercise such first right, or fails to initiate such an action within 180 days of a request by Firmenich that Amyris commence such an action, then Firmenich shall have the right to pursue such an infringement action, at its sole cost; provided, however, with regard to (iii) and (iv) above, Firmenich shall have such right only if Firmenich reasonably demonstrates that the at-

16



issue Infringement would be more probably than not to have a material adverse impact on its commercialization of the applicable Ingredient(s).

5.3.5    Amyris Collaboration Intellectual Property/Strain Generation Technology. Amyris shall, at its sole cost, have the sole right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to initiate and conduct (including settle) an infringement action with respect to any Infringement of any Patents within the Amyris Collaboration Intellectual Property for any other claim of infringement, including any Strain Generation Technology.

If a Party pursues an action against such alleged Infringement, it shall consider in good faith any comments from the other Party and shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of any steps taken to preclude such Infringement.

5.3.8    Recoveries. Any recovery in any such action shall first be used to reimburse the Parties for their respective costs incurred in connection therewith, including without limitation, attorneys and expert fees and court costs. The Party bringing such action may retain any remaining amounts.

5.4    Invalidity or Unenforceability Defenses or Actions.

5.4.1    Third Party Defense or Counterclaim. If a Third Party asserts, as a defense or as a counterclaim in any infringement action under section 5.3, with respect to an Infringement, that any Amyris Patent or Firmenich Patent is invalid or unenforceable, then the Party pursuing such infringement action shall, at its sole cost, have the sole right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to respond to such defense or defend against such counterclaim (as applicable). In a case in which Firmenich is so enforcing any Amyris Patent and declines or fails to respond to such defense or defend against such counterclaim, then Amyris shall have the right to do so, at its sole cost.

5.4.2    Third Party Declaratory Judgment or Similar Action. If a Third Party asserts, in a declaratory judgment action or similar action or claim filed by such Third Party, that any Amyris Patent or Firmenich Patent is invalid or unenforceable, then the Party first becoming aware of such action or claim shall promptly give written notice to the other Party. Each Party shall, at its sole cost, have the sole right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to defend against such action or claim with respect to its Patents.

5.4.3    Assistance. Each Party shall, at the defending Party's cost, provide to the other Party all reasonable assistance requested by the other Party in connection with any action, claim or suit under this section 5.4, including allowing such other Party access to the assisting Party's files and documents and to the assisting Party's personnel who may have possession of relevant information. In particular, the assisting Party shall promptly make available to the other Party, free of charge, all information in its possession or control that it is aware would assist the other Party in responding to any such action, claim or suit; provided that neither Party shall be required to disclose legally privileged information unless and until procedures reasonably acceptable to such Party are in place to protect such privilege.

Each of the foregoing reports will include (for the relevant period) (i) quantities of Ingredient and/or Finished Ingredient sold to Third Parties, (ii) the Average Selling Price for such sales, (iii) quantities of Ingredient or Finished Ingredient used by the selling Party or its Affiliates (as such use is described in Appendix E), (iv) the Commercialization Costs, (v) in the case of Firmenich as the selling Party, (A) quantities of Ingredient Lost by Firmenich or its Affiliates (as described further in Appendix E), (B) in the case of exercise of the Discretionary Second Source Option or exercise of a Second Source option in the event of a Change of Control, the price paid by Firmenich or its Affiliates to a Third Party for purchase of the Ingredient and (C) the Fully-Burdened Ingredient Finishing Costs, and (vi) any other information required to calculate and/or confirm amounts payable by one Party to the other hereunder. The term “Finished Ingredient” means any substance consisting of an Ingredient as refined, polished or modified (other than by chemical modification or biotransformation and other than by blending or formulating with anything other than the Ingredient itself produced by

23



a different method) by or on behalf of Firmenich or its Affiliates and, if applicable, as blended by or on behalf of Firmenich or its Affiliates with same Ingredient, whether sourced from plants or otherwise for purposes of preparing the Ingredient for sale in the F&F Market. For the avoidance of doubt this term shall not include any creation of a fragrance formulation or base using the Ingredient in combination with anything other than the Ingredient produced by a different method. Certain defined terms used in this section are defined in Appendix E hereto.

10.3    A Party may deduct from any amounts it is required to pay pursuant to this Agreement an amount equal to that withheld for or due on account of any taxes (other than taxes imposed on or measured by net income) or similar governmental charge imposed by a jurisdiction other than the United States (“Withholding Taxes”). At the receiving Party's request, the paying Party will provide the receiving Party a certificate evidencing payment of any Withholding Taxes hereunder and will reasonably assist the receiving Party, at the receiving Party's expense, to obtain the benefit of any applicable tax treaty.

10.4    In the event that any payment due under this Agreement is not made when due, the payment will accrue interest from the due date at an annual rate equal to one percent (1%). The payment of such interest will not limit either Party from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of lateness of payment.

11.GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules. The Parties agree to exclude the application to this Agreement of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
12.ASSIGNMENT

Without the prior written consent of the other Party, neither Party may assign this Agreement in whole or in part to any Third Party; provided, that either Party may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement to Affiliates (but, in the case of Amyris, only to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Amyris Brasil S.A., or its successor if it is converted into a limitada or other corporate form) without the prior written consent of the other Party.

14.    SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, said invalidity or non-enforceability will not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. In the circumstances referred to in this Article 14, the Parties agree to attempt to substitute for any invalid or unenforceable provision a valid and enforceable provision which achieves to the greatest extent possible the same effect as would have been achieved by the invalid or unenforceable provision.
15.    INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS

Neither Party is authorized or empowered to act as agent of the other Party for any purpose, and will not enter into any contract, warranty, or representation as to any matter on behalf of the other. Neither Party will be bound by the acts or conduct of the other Party.
16.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AGREEMENT MODIFICATION

This Agreement and any Appendixes attached hereto constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the Collaboration, excluding any arrangements with respect to supply of Ingredients or Intermediates. Any agreement to change the terms of this Agreement in any way will be valid only if the change is made in writing and approved by mutual agreement of authorized representatives of the Parties hereto. The Parties hereby terminate and supersede the Master Collaboration Agreement and the Joint Development Agreement in their entirety except as expressly incorporated herein. All activities on the Initial Ingredient commenced under the Master Collaboration Agreement shall continue and be governed by the terms of this Agreement. The Work Plan for the Initial Ingredient shall likewise continue. The Supply Agreement for the Initial Agreement shall continue in force until amended and replaced by the Supply Agreement.
17.    COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or other electronic signatures and such signatures will be deemed to bind each Party as if they were original signatures.
18.    INDEMNIFICATION

18.1    Indemnification of Amyris. In addition to any other remedy available to Amyris, Firmenich shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Amyris, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “Amyris Indemnitee”) in full and on demand, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, settlements, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses of litigation) (“Losses”) incurred by them, to the extent resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any claims or allegations made, or suits, actions or proceedings brought, by a Third Party (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) against any Amyris Indemnitee:

18.1.1    to the extent arising or resulting from (i) any willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of any Firmenich Indemnitee or any of their subcontractors in performing any activity contemplated hereunder or by the Supply Agreement or (ii) any breach of any provision of this Agreement or the Supply Agreement by Firmenich, including, without limitation, any representation, warranty or covenant of Firmenich;


[*] Certain portions denoted with an asterisk have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

25



18.1.2    to the extent claiming or alleging infringement (or that infringement will occur) of any Patent of any Third Party, which infringement (i) arises or results from the development (other than by or on behalf of Amyris or its Affiliates or its subcontractors or agents), manufacture (other than by or on behalf of Amyris or its Affiliates), or commercialization of any Firmenich Product by or on behalf of Firmenich or its Affiliates (including manufacture of the Ingredient by an Alternate Supplier) (but excluding any claims described in section 18.2.2) or (ii) arises or results from (A) any authorized practice by on behalf of Amyris or its Affiliates of any technology owned or Controlled by Firmenich or its Affiliates in connection with Amyris' activities under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement, or (B) any material covered by Patents owned or Controlled by Firmenich or its Affiliates in connection with the performance of any of Amyris' obligations under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement, other than any claim of infringement under any Patent set forth in Appendix G of this Agreement;

18.1.3    to the extent arising or resulting from any development (other than by or on behalf of Amyris or its Affiliates), manufacture (other than by or on behalf of Amyris or its Affiliates) or commercialization of any Firmenich Product in the F&F Market by or behalf of Firmenich or its Affiliates, but excluding any Third Party Claim or Losses (i) arising or resulting from any cause described in section 18.2.1, or (ii) that claims or alleges that a Firmenich Product infringes or will infringe any Third Party intellectual property (but without limitation of Firmenich's obligations under section 18.1.2);

except, in each case (18.1.1 through 18.1.3), to the extent that Amyris has an obligation to indemnify any Firmenich Indemnitee for the applicable Losses pursuant to section 18.2. As to any such Loss Amyris shall indemnify the Firmenich Indemnitees, and/or the Firmenich Third Party Indemnitees, as applicable, to the full extent of its responsibility under section 18.2 in view of the facts underlying the applicable Third Party Claim. The rights to indemnification under section 18.1.2 shall constitute Amyris' sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement and the Supply Agreement with respect to any allegations of Patent infringement by a Third Party.
18.2    Indemnification of Firmenich. In addition to any other remedy available to Firmenich, Amyris shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Firmenich, its Affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Firmenich Indemnitee”) in full and on demand, from and against any and all Losses incurred by them, to the extent resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claims against any Firmenich Indemnitee:

18.2.1    to the extent arising or resulting from (i) any willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of any Amyris Indemnitee or any of their subcontractors in performing any activity contemplated by this Agreement or the Supply Agreement or (ii) the breach of any provision of this Agreement or the Supply Agreement by Amyris, including, without limitation, any representation, warranty or covenant of Amyris;

18.2.2    to the extent claiming or alleging infringement (or that infringement will occur) of any Patent of any Third Party, which infringement (i) arises or results from the practice by Amyris or its Affiliates and/or its subcontractors and/or Amyris' or its Affiliates' manufacturer(s) of any of Amyris Background Intellectual Property, Amyris Collaboration Intellectual Property or Amyris Non-Project Intellectual Property in connection with the performance of Amyris' activities under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement; (ii) arises or results from the practice by Firmenich or its Affiliates or its sublicensees or its manufacturers that are authorized in this Agreement or the Supply Agreement in the manufacture of the Intermediate or Ingredient in accordance with the manufacturing process for the Intermediate or Ingredient transferred by Amyris, or (iii) arises or results from or is based on the inclusion of the Ingredient in a Firmenich Product or the use of the Ingredient or Intermediate to create a Firmenich Product, in each case by Firmenich or on behalf of Firmenich or its Affiliates, regardless of whether such Ingredient or Intermediate is combined, modified or processed by or on behalf of Firmenich or its Affiliates, except to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from the combination, modification or processing of the Intermediate or Ingredient by on behalf of Firmenich or other activities conducted by or on behalf of Firmenich or its Affiliates (other than by Amyris or on behalf of Amyris), or (iv) arises or results from (A) any authorized practice by on behalf of Firmenich or its Affiliates of any technology (including without limitation any compositions or methods) owned or Controlled by Amyris or its Affiliates in connection with Firmenich's activities under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement, or (B) any material that necessarily practices Patents owned or Controlled by Amyris or its Affiliates in connection with the performance of any of Firmenich's obligations under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement, and in all cases excluding any claims or allegations of infringement to the extent arising or resulting from (y) any authorized practice by or on behalf of Amyris or its Affiliates of any technology owned or Controlled by Firmenich or its Affiliates in connection with Amyris' activities under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement, or (z) any material covered by Patents owned or Controlled by Firmenich which material has been provided by Firmenich to Amyris for use in connection with the

26



performance of any of Amyris' obligations under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement, but the exclusion in clause (z) shall not apply to any claims or allegations of infringement of any Patent set forth on Appendix G of this Agreement;

In addition, Amyris shall indemnify and hold harmless the Firmenich Third Party Indemnitees in full and on demand, from and against any and all Losses incurred by them (solely to the extent that Firmenich has an obligation to the applicable Firmenich Third Party Indemnitee to indemnify it or hold it harmless) pursuant to this section 18.2.2 as if it were a Firmenich Indemnitee (and solely to such extent), but only if the rights of Amyris under section 18.4 are afforded to Amyris. “Firmenich Third Party Indemnitee” means any Third Party that uses or sells any product containing any Firmenich Product purchased from Firmenich or its Affiliates;

18.2.3    to the extent arising or resulting from any development or manufacture of any Intermediates and Ingredients by or on behalf of Amyris under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement, but excluding any Third Party Claims or Losses arising or resulting from any cause described in section 18.1.1; or claiming or alleging that an Amyris Product infringes or will infringe any Third Party intellectual property (but without limitation of Amyris' obligations under section 18.2.2); and

18.2.4    to the extent arising or resulting from any commercialization of any Product(s) by or on behalf of Amyris or its Affiliates outside the F&F Market.

except, in each case (18.2.1 through 18.2.4), to the extent that Firmenich has an obligation to indemnify any Amyris Indemnitee for the applicable Losses pursuant to section 18.1. As to any such Loss, Firmenich shall indemnify each of the Amyris Indemnitees for the applicable Losses to the full extent of its responsibility under section 18.1 in view of the facts underlying the applicable Third Party Claim. The rights to indemnification under section 18.2.2 shall constitute Firmenich's sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement with respect to any allegations of patent infringement by a Third Party (other than for the breach of any representation made by Amyris in a Definitive Agreement).
18.3    Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims in respect of an Amyris Indemnitee or a Firmenich Indemnitee shall be made solely by Amyris or Firmenich, as applicable (each of Amyris or Firmenich in such capacity, the “Indemnified Party”). The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under section 18.1 or section 18.2, but in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the applicable Third Party Claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses and Third Party Claims.

18.4    Indemnification Procedures. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this Article 18 shall be governed by and contingent upon the following:

18.4.1    At its option, the Party from which indemnification is sought pursuant to section 18.1 or section 18.2 (the “Indemnifying Party”) may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within sixty (60) days after receipt of the applicable Indemnification Claim Notice. Such assumption shall not be construed as an acknowledgement of liability or a waiver of any defenses (and the Indemnifying Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnified Party for its expenses if the Indemnified Party is subsequently determined to have no indemnification rights under this Article 18).

18.4.2    Upon the assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party may appoint lead counsel in the defense of such Third Party Claim, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and except as expressly provided in this section 18.4.2, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party or any Amyris Indemnitee or Firmenich Indemnitee, as applicable, for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or Amyris Indemnitee or Firmenich Indemnitee, as applicable, in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party and the Amyris Indemnitee or Firmenich Indemnitee, as applicable, shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of a Third Party Claim and to retain counsel of their choice for such purpose at their expense unless the interests of the Indemnified Party, the Amyris Indemnitee or Firmenich Indemnitee, as applicable, and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of all entities under applicable law, ethical rules or equitable principles, in which latter case

27



such retention shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the above, as to any claims subject to section 18.2.2 brought by Third Parties against any Firmenich Third Party Indemnitee, Firmenich shall have the right to defense and resolution of any such Claim, using counsel of its choice reasonably acceptable to Amyris; provided, however, that Firmenich shall afford Amyris a reasonable time to review and comment, in advance, on all filings made for the applicable proceeding relating to or likely to impact any intellectual property of Amyris or its Affiliates or relating to allegations of infringement by the Ingredient and Firmenich shall (i) use good faith efforts to conduct the applicable proceeding in accordance with any comments provided by Amyris with respect thereto, (ii) if Firmenich disagrees with any such comments, confer with Amyris and use good faith efforts to resolve the disagreement prior to the applicable filing, and (iii) in no event make any admission regarding the scope, validity or enforceability of (A) any Patents owned or Controlled by Amyris or its Affiliates or (B) any statements characterizing any prior art thereto. With respect to any such claims that Firmenich is so controlling, with respect to any settlement involving the payment of money damages for which Amyris would be obligated to indemnify hereunder or that would otherwise impose any obligation on Amyris (other than its indemnification obligation hereunder), Firmenich shall obtain Amyris' prior written consent to such settlement, consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

18.4.3    With respect to all Losses where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with section 18.4.1, (i) with respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnified Party's or any Amyris Indemnitee's or Firmenich Indemnitee's, as applicable, becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnified Party or any Amyris Indemnitee or Firmenich Indemnitee, as applicable, in any manner, and as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party and any Amyris Indemnitee or Firmenich Indemnitee, as applicable, hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right (except as provided in 18.4.2 above) to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate, (ii) with respect to all other Losses, the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Losses, provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (iii) no Indemnified Party or any Amyris Indemnitee or Firmenich Indemnitee, as applicable, shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

18.4.4    With respect to all Losses where the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with section 18.4.1, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for all such Losses for which it has indemnity and hold harmless obligations under section 18.1 or section 18.2, as applicable, with respect to such Third Party Claim, provided that none of the Indemnified Party nor any Amyris Indemnitee or Firmenich Indemnitee, as applicable, shall consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Losses, without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

18.4.5    If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents to reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours by the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making the Indemnified Party, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any records or information provided, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all of its related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

18.4.6    Any reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim and reimbursable as set forth above in this Article 18 shall be reimbursed on a calendar quarter basis by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party's right to contest the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party or any Amyris Indemnitee or Firmenich Indemnitee.


28



19.    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY A PARTY'S OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES' WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, NEITHER PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES WILL BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF (a) THE DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURE, USE OR SALE OF THE INGREDIENTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, (b) THE USE OF OR REFERENCE TO THE EITHER PARTY'S BACKGROUND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, FIRMENICH NON-PROJECT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, OR COLLABORATION INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, OR (c) ANY BREACH OF OR FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 19 WILL NOT APPLY TO EITHER PARTY'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
20.    TERM AND TERMINATION

20.1    Term. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Article 20, this Agreement will come into effect on the Effective Date, and will remain in effect, with respect to the research and development program under this Agreement (“R&D Program”), for ten (10) years from the Effective Date and will automatically renew at the end of such term (and at the end of any extension) for an additional three (3)-year term (the original term and any extended term each referred to as “R&D Term”) unless and until a Party provides the other Party written notice, at least twelve (12) months before the end of the then-current R&D Term, that it does not desire to extend the R&D Term, in which case the Parties' rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to R&D Program will, except as otherwise expressly set out in this Agreement, expire at the end of the then-current R&D Term except for any Work Plans already in process but otherwise without prejudice to each Commercialization Program. Except as expressly agreed by the Parties herein, Firmenich will have exclusive commercialization rights as set forth herein in perpetuity to a particular Intermediate or Ingredient (each a “Commercialization Program”), unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to the contrary. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Article 20, all rights and obligations governing each Commercialization Program will come into effect on the Effective Date and will expire, on an Intermediate-by-Intermediate basis, or Ingredient-by-Ingredient basis, as the case may be, only when the Parties mutually agree to terminate commercialization of that Intermediate or Ingredient (each a “Commercialization Term”). Unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Article 20, all of the remaining rights and obligations under this Agreement will expire upon the expiration of the last-to-expire Commercialization Program.

20.2    Termination for Cause. The non-affected Party may terminate this Agreement for Cause immediately upon written notice to the affected Party (or at such other date specified in such notice) for any of the following reasons, each of which will be deemed for “Cause”: (a) an Event of Insolvency of the affected Party; (b) a Change in Control of the affected Party, or (c) a Material Breach of this Agreement by the affected Party. This Agreement will terminate in its entirety if a non-affected Party terminates for Cause.

20.3    Termination for Force Majeure. In the event that suspension of performance due to a Force Majeure Event lasts for more than ninety (90) continuous days and (i) if, in the absence of such Force Majeure Event, such suspension of performance would be a Material Breach of this Agreement, and (ii) such Force Majeure Event causes it to become commercially unreasonable for the Parties to proceed with the R&D Program and all Commercialization Programs, the Party not affected by such Force Majeure Event may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the affected Party. This Agreement will terminate in its entirety if a non-affected Party terminates for a Force Majeure Event.

20.4    Consequences of Expiration or Termination.

20.4.1    The other provisions of this section 20.4 notwithstanding, termination of this Agreement by either Party for any reason will not affect the rights and obligations of the Parties accrued prior to the date of said termination. Each Party will pay to the other Party any reimbursements due from the sharing of the costs of complying with the Regulatory Plan.

20.4.2    Expiration. Upon expiration of this Agreement pursuant to section 20.1, the following consequences of expiration shall apply:

(a)
All licenses and rights granted by Firmenich to Amyris (i) pursuant to section 5.1.1 of this Agreement shall terminate upon the Termination Date of the R&D Program, (ii) pursuant to section 5.1.3(b) of this Agreement shall survive the R&D Term, and (iii) pursuant to

29



section 5.1.3(c) of this Agreement shall survive such termination until the effective date of expiration or termination of the Supply Agreement pursuant to its terms.

(b)
All licenses and rights granted by Amyris to Firmenich (i) pursuant to section 5.1.1 of this Agreement shall terminate upon the Termination Date of the R&D Program and (ii) pursuant to section 5.1.2 of this Agreement shall survive such termination, provided however, that such licenses will become non-exclusive upon termination of the applicable Commercialization Program.

(c)
All of Amyris' exclusivity obligations under this Agreement, including pursuant to Article 9, will terminate as of the Termination Date of the R&D Program, but without prejudice to any Commercialization Program, except if any such Commercialization Program has also been terminated.

20.4.3    Termination For Cause by Firmenich. In the event that Firmenich terminates this Agreement pursuant to section 20.2, then the following consequences of termination shall apply:

(a)
Amyris' exclusivity obligations under Article 9 of this Agreement shall survive until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Termination Date.

(b)
As of the Termination Date and thereafter, Amyris shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, use any Strain, Background Intellectual Property or any Collaboration Intellectual Property (excluding any Strain Generation Technology) solely in connection with the development of any Intermediate or Ingredient for use and commercialization in the F&F Market except for the Exclusions.

(c)
All licenses and rights granted by Firmenich to Amyris pursuant to sections 5.1.1, 5.1.3(a) and 5.1.3(b) of this Agreement shall terminate upon the Termination Date.

(d)
The option granted by Firmenich to Amyris pursuant to section 5.1.3(c) of this Agreement shall terminate upon the Termination Date.

(e)
All licenses and rights granted by Amyris to Firmenich pursuant to sections 5.1.2(a), (b), (c), (d) and (f) of this Agreement shall survive such termination.

(f)
The option granted by Amyris to Firmenich pursuant to section 5.1.2(e) of this Agreement shall survive such termination.

(g)
Amyris shall grant to Firmenich an exclusive, perpetual, sublicensable (through multiple tiers of sublicensees), worldwide, royalty-free license under its Background Intellectual Property, Amyris Collaboration Intellectual Property, and Amyris Non-Project Intellectual Property to improve the Strains using random mutagenesis and fermentation with respect to the supply and production of the Intermediate or Ingredient for commercialization and use in the F&F Market except for the Exclusions. If the reason for the termination for Cause is due to (i) an Event of Insolvency; (ii) Change in Control; (iii) Material Default attributable to Amyris' failure to deposit Escrowed Materials in accordance with section 3.4 and failure to remedy in a reasonable time after being provided with sufficient notice; or (iv) Material Default attributable to Amyris' repeated material failure to supply under the Supply Agreement (collectively “Significant Material Default”), then the grant of such license shall include a right to Firmenich to develop and improve the Strains, solely limited to the development and production of any Intermediate or Ingredient for commercialization and use in the F&F Market except for the Exclusions.

(h)
As soon as practicable after the Termination Date, Amyris shall transfer to Firmenich (by way of permitting release of the Escrowed Materials or directly, if an update of such materials is required) (i) at least 20 high-producing Strains for each Intermediate or Ingredient under development or commercialization at the time of the termination, (ii) a technical report (including Strain development history) describing the work to date under all Work Plans then in effect prior to the Termination Date, (iii) any applicable internal Amyris reports with respect to the work to date under all Work Plans in effect prior to the Termination Date, (iv) copies of all supporting SOPs and all other material development-related documentation with respect to each Intermediate and Ingredient developed by

30



Amyris under all Work Plans in effect and (v) any available pilot and production data with respect to the production of the Intermediate(s) and Ingredient(s). In addition, Amyris shall conduct training necessary to enable Firmenich to complete the Projects.

(i)
Firmenich shall have the right to transfer a Strain to a Third Party that the Parties have agreed is an acceptable alternate supplier of the Ingredient pursuant to the Supply Agreement; provided, that, except in the case of termination due to a Significant Material Default, any agreement between Firmenich and such Third Party must be subject to certain agreed terms and conditions substantially similar to those set forth in the Supply Agreement with respect to a Second Source Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case of a termination for Cause due to Significant Material Default of Amyris, in no event shall Firmenich or such Third Party modify, reverse engineer, engineer or analyze any Strain.

20.4.4    Termination For Cause by Amyris. In the event that Amyris terminates this Agreement pursuant to section 20.2, then the following consequences of termination shall apply.

(a)
All of Amyris' exclusivity obligations under this Agreement, including pursuant to Article 9, will terminate as of the Termination Date.

(b)
Firmenich shall, within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, pay Amyris the actual capital expenditures approved by the Steering Committee prior to the Termination Date and reasonably incurred by Amyris in connection with its activities under any Start-Up Plan and any non-cancellable capital expenditures approved by the Steering Committee to which Amyris has reasonably committed prior to the Termination Date in connection with such activities.

(c)

20.5    Firmenich Ceases Use of Strains. With respect to any Strains transferred to Firmenich pursuant to section 20.4.3(i), if any at time after such transfer Firmenich ceases to use such Strain with respect to the production of the each Intermediate or Ingredient, then Firmenich shall promptly notify Amyris and, at Amyris' election, either transfer such Strain back to Amyris or destroy such Strain at Amyris' cost.

20.6    Establishment of Second Supply Source.

20.6.1    Each of the following events will be deemed a “Failure to Perform”:

(a)
An Event of Insolvency has occurred with respect to Amyris;

(b)
A Change in Control of Amyris has occurred;

(c)
Amyris has committed a Material Breach of this Agreement or the Supply Agreement; or

(d)
Amyris is experiencing a Force Majeure Event that has lasted at least ninety (90) continuous days.

20.6.2
Amyris will promptly notify Firmenich in the event a Failure to Perform occurs under section 20.6.1 (a), (b) or (d) of which Firmenich is not aware. Firmenich will promptly notify Amyris in the event of a Failure to Perform occurring in any other circumstance. Following the occurrence of a Failure to Perform, Firmenich will, have the option to elect to exercise its rights under the license granted in section 5.1.2(b) (the “Manufacturing License”) and establish a second source for supply of that Intermediate or Ingredient, as the case may be, (an “Alternate Supplier”) to ensure its continued access to that Intermediate or Ingredient (“Second Source Option”). To exercise this option, Firmenich will send written notice of its election to Amyris and will immediately be permitted to exercise its rights under the Manufacturing License and to select an Alternate Supplier from the list of approved suppliers and approved locations set forth in Appendix D.

20.6.3
In addition, Firmenich will have the option, at any time during the period that begins on the second (2nd) anniversary of the date of the first sale of an Intermediate or Ingredient to Firmenich to establish an Alternate Supplier for supply of such Intermediate or Ingredient (“Discretionary Second Source Option”). To exercise this option, Firmenich will send written notice of its election to Amyris and, after a nine (9)-month period from the sending of such notice, Firmenich will be permitted to exercise its rights under the Manufacturing License and to select an Alternate Supplier from the list of approved suppliers and approved locations set forth in Appendix D. Upon Firmenich's exercise of its Discretionary Second Source Option for an Intermediate or Ingredient, Amyris will be released from all of its exclusivity obligations under this Agreement but only for such Intermediate or Ingredient and any exclusive rights or licenses granted to Firmenich under this Agreement will revert to non-exclusive to enable Amyris to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and/or import such Intermediate or Ingredient consistent with such lifting of exclusivity.

20.6.4
The Alternate Supplier's manufacture and supply of the Intermediate or Ingredient will be pursuant to a written agreement to be executed between the Alternate Supplier and Firmenich (“Alternate Supplier Agreement”), which agreement will include the provisions set forth in Appendix D. Firmenich will use its best efforts to ensure that the Alternate Supplier complies with such provisions. Firmenich will notify Amyris within two (2) business days in the event it becomes aware that the Alternate Supplier has breached any provisions of the Alternate Supplier Agreement set forth in Appendix D or in any other manner that might jeopardize Amyris' Background Intellectual Property, Amyris Collaboration Intellectual Property and Non-Project Intellectual Property licensed to Firmenich under the Manufacturing License (collectively, the “Manufacturing Intellectual Property”). Amyris will have the right to inspect and monitor the Alternate Supplier each quarter and, in the event Firmenich exercises its Discretionary Second Source Option, Firmenich will pay the actual costs of such visits, in an amount not to exceed US$50,000 per quarter.

20.6.5
Following selection of Alternate Suppliers to be identified in Appendix D upon exercise by Firmenich of either its Second Source Option or Discretionary Second Source Option, Amyris will conduct a one-time technology transfer to one mutually agreed Alternate Supplier as follows: (a) disclose and transfer to the Alternate Supplier all Manufacturing Intellectual Property that is necessary or used by Amyris to manufacture the Intermediate or Ingredient in accordance with the then-current manufacturing process used by Amyris to manufacture the Intermediate or Ingredient,


32



(b) conduct up to ten (10) days of training for up to five (5) Alternate Supplier employees with respect to such Manufacturing Intellectual Property, (c) make reasonably available Amyris personnel with expertise in such Manufacturing Intellectual Property to answer Alternate Supplier's questions related to the use of such Manufacturing Intellectual Property for such purpose, and (d) otherwise reasonably cooperate with Firmenich to enable Firmenich to exercise its rights under the Manufacturing License (collectively, a “Transfer Protocol”); provided, however, that within forty five (45) days of receipt of an invoice from Amyris in case of a Discretionary Second Source Option (i) Firmenich will reimburse Amyris for any reasonable out-of pocket expenses incurred by Amyris to fulfill its obligations under this section 20.6.5 and (ii) its internal costs incurred to fulfill its obligations under this section 20.6.5 at the then current Amyris FTE Rate. The Parties may amend Appendix D in writing from time to time upon mutual agreement to add or remove additional approved Third Party suppliers of Intermediates and Ingredients; provided, however, that in the event that Amyris has reasonable evidence that a supplier listed in Appendix D has not abided by or will not abide by the terms and conditions set forth on Appendix D, Amyris may amend Appendix D to remove the name of such supplier without Firmenich's prior written consent; provided, however, Amyris will first promptly notify Firmenich of the same and if Firmenich is then using such Alternate Supplier to manufacture an Intermediate or Ingredient in accordance with this Agreement and subject to such Alternate Supplier taking prompt remedial measures to protect the Manufacturing Intellectual Property to Amyris' satisfaction, Amyris will provide reasonable notice to allow Firmenich to arrange for an alternate supplier, if applicable, in a manner so as to avoid disruption of supply of the Intermediate or Ingredient to Firmenich.

21.    PRICING AND SHARING OF VALUE

21.1    Pricing of Ingredients. The Parties will agree on the price for supply of an Ingredient to Firmenich (“Ingredient Price”) no later than nine (9) months prior to the beginning of manufacture of that Ingredient by Amyris. Quantities of Ingredient sold to Firmenich for its internal use shall be sold at the price set forth in the Supply Agreement if different from the Ingredient Price. Payment for the Ingredient supply shall be made within forty-five (45) days of the date of the invoice until January 1, 2015 and then made within sixty (60) days of the date of the invoice thereafter.

21.2    Sharing and Distribution of Value.

21.2.1    The Parties agree to share Profits from Firmenich's sale of Ingredients on the basis of 70% of such Profits to Firmenich and 30% of such Profits to Amyris until such time as Firmenich receives US$15 million more than Amyris from its share of Profits. After such time, the sharing of Profits will become 50% of Profits to each Party. Sharing of Profits will be based solely on the sale of the Ingredients themselves, and not any Fragrance or Flavor of which the Ingredient comprises. Profits will in all cases be paid within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter.

21.2.2    If Firmenich exercises its Discretionary Second Source Option or its Second Source Option, then the calculation of Firmenich's Profit will include the Intermediate or Ingredient, as the case may be, purchased from the Alternate Supplier and any Finished Ingredient made therefrom.

21.3    Success Bonus. Amyris shall pay to Firmenich a success bonus (the “Bonus”) for commercializing the Initial Ingredient, which shall be calculated as set forth in Appendix F.

21.4    Second Source Consequences. If Firmenich exercises its Discretionary Second Source Option, then thereafter within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter during which Amyris sells an Intermediate or Ingredient in the F&F Market for which Firmenich has exercised its Discretionary Second Source Option for use in the F&F Market, Amyris will pay Firmenich an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Amyris' Profit with respect to such Intermediate or Ingredient sold to any Third Party in the F&F Market during such calendar quarter.

22.    SURVIVAL

The rights and obligations under sections 3.8, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.1 (except as otherwise set out in Article 20), 5.5, 7.3 (with respect to the arbitration provisions, but without a requirement of prior consideration by the Chief Executive Officers), 7.4, 20.4 and 20.5 and Articles 8, 10 (with respect to any payment obligation due after expiration of this Agreement), 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 19 will survive expiration of this Agreement.

APPENDIX A
FORM OF WORK PLAN

Amyris - Firmenich [*] Development Program Work Plan Extension

Goal of program: Develop a strain and process to produce yeast-derived crude [*] oil that meets olfactive quality at commercial-scale for $[*].

Overview of the research approach:
Amyris has created farnesene producing yeast strains that have the sesquiterpene flux above the level needed to produce [*] oil at the yield and productivities to reach $[*]. The remaining research and development that needs to be performed to convert these high performing terpene producing strains to [*] producing strains are improving the enzymatic activity of the [*] synthase and stabilizing the [*] producing yeast strains to perform in large scale fermentations.

Improving the [*] synthase:
Since the inception of the project, the [*] synthase has been improved 8-fold above the original synthase with no effect on product profile. Recent combinatorial library screening has produced enzyme variants that are now over 12 fold improved in sesquiterpene flux from the wild type, but have changed the product profile to make less [*] alcohol. We project that an additional 3 fold improvement from the current best enzyme (current best that has the proper product profile) is necessary in order to achieve the yields and productivities for commercial scale production at $[*]. We expect that the necessary improvements in enzyme activity while maintaining appropriate product profile will likely be achieved by the end of [*].

Strain improvement:
For strain engineering, initial strains were producing less [*] in shake flasks and were too unstable to test in fermentors. Through a combination of enzyme improvements, strain selection, and strain engineering, the current strains make above [*] of [*] oil in 96-well shake plates and [*] oil is routinely measured to be above [*] in fermenters. Our current best strain that maintains the product profile of the wild type enzyme has a yield of [*]. These improvements were the result of integrating several copies of the improved [*] synthase (with wild type product profile) into a mid FPP-flux yeast strain using Amyris' swappable DNA technology. The increase in titer observed with increasing synthase activity suggested that it was enzyme activity and not product toxicity that was limiting titer, yield and productivity. However, strain health and production stability remained a challenge as was evident by the observation that the same strain has [*] in a fermentation process in which the same strain undergoes significantly less generations. Recent fermentation data with the [*] synthase variants mentioned above (which have a modified product profile) integrated into the same mid flux FPP strain produced [*] oil at an average of [*]. These results further support the hypothesis that synthase activity has been limiting performance in fermentors. As a result of these data, identifying improved synthase variants with the proper product profile while also testing the impact of the modified product profile on the olfactive quality of the product will be a high priority of the research plan. Moving forward, we expect that a combination of enzyme improvement, rapid integration of improved synthases into mid and high FPP flux strains and strain improvement will result in a strain capable [*].
