SECTION 3.2.    Shareholders' Agreement.

(a)Not later than six months prior to the anticipated Project Completion Date, Amyris and Total shall engage in good faith negotiations to (i) agree as promptly as practicable upon a final form of Shareholders' Agreement, as agreed pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, and (ii) to finalize and agree as promptly as practicable on a five-year plan pursuant to the Shareholders' Agreement and an initial budget pursuant to the Shareholders' Agreement (the “Initial Plan and Budget”). In connection with such good faith negotiations, including but not limited to the geographic scope,  the Initial Plan and Budget, and the amount of funding required thereunder, the parties agree to use their best efforts  and  good  faith:  (i) to  maximize the economic viability and value of the JVCO; and (ii) to reach agreement on JVCO terms as soon as reasonably practicable, regardless of differing opinions on valuation.

(b)Following final agreement between Amyris and Total on the matters set forth in section 3.2(a) above (the date of such agreement being the “Final Go Decision Date”), both Amyris and Total will (i) execute the Shareholders' Agreement and take all other actions necessary to form the joint venture entity contemplated thereby (“JVCO”), (ii) enter into the license agreements contemplated by the Shareholders' Agreement and the Second Amendment (collectively, the “License Agreements”), (iii) enter into the contribution agreements in the form to be attached to the Shareholders' Agreement, which contribution agreements will require Amyris and Total to contribute to JVCO (A) any contracts or agreements which specifically and solely relate to the Farnesane Diesel Products and Farnesane Jet Products as applicable, other than any such agreements entered into by Amyris which relate exclusively to the Brazil Business, and (B) such funding as may be agreed to in the Initial Budget pursuant to Section 3.2(a) (together, with the License Agreements, the “JV Assets”).

7



come to agreement on all matters set forth in Section 3.2 and Amyris indicates in writing that it is unwilling or unable to move forward with the formation of JVCO or to fund all or any portion of the funding required pursuant to Section 3.2(b), then at any time prior to the Final Go Decision Date Total may deliver a written notice to Amyris electing to initiate the buyout provisions of Section 3.3(b) (the “Buyout Election”).

(c)If Total shall deliver to Amyris a Buyout Election, to establish the price for the purchase of Amyris' interest in the potential JVCO, the parties shall determine the Fair Value of the proposed joint venture in accordance with Section 3.3(g) hereof. Such Fair Value determination shall be made assuming for the purposes of such determination that JVCO was formed pursuant to Section 3.2(b) above. Within 30 days following the date on which the Fair Value of the proposed JVCO is finally determined in accordance with Section 3.3(g) hereof, Amyris shall deliver to Total a written election (“Deadlock Election”) indicating either (i) that it elects to sell the Amyris JV Assets to Total in exchange for an amount equal to 50% of the Fair Value of the proposed JVCO as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.3(g) (the “Purchase Price”), (ii) that it accepts Total's last position with respect to the funding requirements of JVCO, and agrees to proceed with the formation of JVCO pursuant to Section 3.2 on the basis of such funding amount, or (iii) that it accepts Total's last position with respect to the funding requirements of JVCO, agrees to proceed with the formation of JVCO pursuant to Section 3.2 on the basis of such funding amount, but that it wishes to sell all or a portion of its initial 50% interest in JVCO to Total pursuant to Section 3.3(e) below. In the event that Amyris does not deliver such Default Election within 30 days following the date on which the Fair Value of the proposed JVCO is finally determined, then it shall be deemed to have elected to sell the Amyris JV Assets pursuant to subsection (i) above.

(d) If Amyris elects (or is deemed to have elected) to sell to Total its interest in the potential JVCO (including without limitation the Amyris JV Assets), Amyris and Total shall select, for consummation of the sale of the Amyris JV Assets to Total, a closing date not later than 60 days (or longer, if required to obtain any approval of Amyris' stockholders pursuant to Section 3.3(f) below or if any Competition Law so requires) after the delivery of the Deadlock Election (or its deemed delivery). At such closing to acquire 100% of Amyris's interest in the potential JVCO, (i) Total shall deliver the Purchase Price to Amyris by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by Amyris and in such case Amyris shall have no further interest in the potential JVCO, (ii) Total shall contribute the Notes to Amyris, which Notes will be cancelled and terminated by Amyris and (iii) Amyris shall (A) enter into a license agreement with Total for the license of the intellectual property rights which would have been subject to the License Agreement to be entered into by Amyris at formation of JVCO, (B) deliver to Total such other documents as, in the mutual agreement of Amyris and Total, are necessary or appropriate to convey to Total the Amyris JV Assets, and (C) enter into an exclusivity agreement containing exclusivity provisions similar to exclusivity provisions Amyris would have been subject to had JVCO been formed; provided, that Amyris shall not be required to provide representations or warranties other than basic representations and warranties regarding its authority to enter into the sale documentation, the due execution and binding nature of its sale documentation, and that its participation in the sale will not contravene, or require a consent, waiver or approval pursuant to, any applicable law or pursuant to any agreement to which it is subject and other customary representations and warranties for an acquisition of this type agreed to by the parties. Subject to the approval requirements in Section 3.3(f), if applicable, each of the parties shall use its

8



reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws to consummate and make effective any such transfer of the Amyris JV Assets to Total, including, without limitation, using reasonable best efforts to obtain all licenses, permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of the competent governmental entities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties shall, when required in order to effect any such transfer of the Amyris JV Assets to Total contemplated hereunder, make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required or appropriate submissions, under any Competition Law and shall supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate governmental entity any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to any Competition Law.

(e)If Amyris elects to sell all or a portion, but less than all, of its potential 50% interest in JVCO to Total pursuant to Section 3.3(c)(iii) above, it shall set forth in its Deadlock Election what percentage of JVCO that it wishes to sell to Total (the “Buyout Percentage”). The parties shall then proceed to form JVCO pursuant to Section 3.2(b); provided, however, that (i) the initial ownership percentage of JVCO held by Amyris shall be 50% minus the Buyout Percentage and the initial ownership percentage of JVCO held by Total shall be 50% plus the Buyout Percentage, (ii) Total shall deliver an amount equal to the product of (A) the Fair Value of potential JVCO determined pursuant to Section 3.3(c) above and (B) the Buyout Percentage to Amyris by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by Amyris. Amyris's obligations to fund any capital contributions of JVCO pursuant to the Initial Plan and Budget shall also be proportionately reduced to match its percentage ownership of JVCO.

(f)If the approval of the majority of the stockholders of Amyris is required in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.3 (the “Amyris Stockholder Approval”) pursuant to Section 271 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, then the consummation of any such transactions shall be subject to obtaining the Amyris Stockholder Approval. Amyris covenants to use reasonable best efforts to solicit and obtain as promptly as practicable the Amryis Stockholder Approval.

(g)For the purposes of this Master Agreement, “Fair Value” of the potential JVCO means the aggregate equity value of the potential JVCO (assuming for the purposes of such determination that JVCO was formed pursuant to Section 3.2(b) above, including, without limitation, assuming the cancellation of the Notes in connection with such formation) that a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arms'‑length transaction to acquire JVCO, assuming that JVCO was being sold in a manner designed to maximize bids, when neither the buyer nor the seller was acting under compulsion and when both have reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, without any control premiums or illiquidity or minority interest discounts. Amyris and Total G&P shall negotiate in good faith for a period of 20 days from the date of the event giving rise to the need for a determination of Fair Value to try to determine the Fair Value of potential JVCO. If Amyris and Total G&P are unable to reach a mutual determination of Fair Value within such 20‑day period, each of Amyris and Total G&P shall promptly appoint (at its own expense) a qualified, recognized appraiser of international standing (such as, by way of example only, the valuation group of an international accounting firm or a global investment bank) with substantial experience in valuing companies with a size, organization, and assets similar to that of JVCO (each, an “Advisor”), and each such Advisor shall deliver a written opinion with supporting materials as to the Fair Value of potential JVCO (an “Advisor's

9



Report”) to each of Amyris and Total G&P concurrently within 20 Business Days of its appointment (the “Opinion Period”).. If the Fair Value of potential JVCO determined by an Advisor is presented in such Advisor's Report as a range of values, then the Fair Value of potential JVCO for purposes of such Advisor's Report shall be deemed to be the arithmetic average of such range. If only one Advisor timely delivers its Advisor's Report, the value determined by such Advisor shall be deemed to be the Fair Value of potential JVCO for purposes hereof. If both of the Advisors timely deliver an Advisor's Report and if the difference between the Fair Values submitted by each Advisor equals 10% or less of the higher value, then the Fair Value of potential JVCO for purposes hereof shall be deemed to be the arithmetic average of the Fair Values submitted by such Advisors. If the difference between the two values is greater than 10% of the higher value, then Amyris and Total G&P shall negotiate in good faith for a period of 5 Business Days from the expiration of the Opinion Period to try to determine the Fair Value of potential JVCO. If, during such period, Amyris and Total G&P cannot agree on the Fair Value of potential JVCO, then they shall jointly select a third Advisor that has not been engaged by either of Amyris and Total G&P or their respective Affiliates in any capacity during the two‑year period preceding such date, which third Advisor shall be required to choose only one of the two previously‑submitted Fair Values and shall not be authorized to determine a new, third value. If Amyris and Total G&P cannot agree on the third Advisor, then their respective Advisors shall together be instructed to select as the third Advisor an Advisor that has not been engaged by either of Amyris and Total G&P or their respective Affiliates in any capacity during the six‑months period preceding such date. Neither Amyris nor Total G&P (or any Affiliate or representative of either Amyris or Total G&P) shall communicate unilaterally with the third Advisor. The third Advisor will be instructed to deliver to Amyris and Total G&P concurrently, within 15 Business Days of its appointment, an Advisor's Report selecting which of the two Fair Values submitted by the original two Advisors better approximates the Fair Value of potential JVCO. The value chosen by the third Advisor shall then be deemed to be the Fair Value of potential JVCO and will be non‑appealable, final and binding on the Parties for purposes hereof. The parties commit to provide the Advisors with complete and accurate information to allow the Advisors to accurately and independently estimate the Fair Value of the potential JVCO. This information shall include without limitation the materials used by each party to determine the Budget and the five year Plan and access to relevant representatives for interviews. The Advisors shall, in determining the Fair Value of potential JVCO, consider all material information resulting from such diligence and access, subject to the definition of “Fair Value” set forth herein. Each of Amyris and Total G&P shall bear the fees and expenses of its Advisor, and they shall split equally the fees and expenses of the third Advisor. Each Party shall use its respective reasonable efforts to assist in the determination of the Fair Value of potential JVCO, including providing any information reasonably required for such purpose.

(h)If Total does not pay the Purchase Price at the closing contemplated by Section 3.3(d) above, or the closing contemplated by Section 3.3(d) above does not occur within 60 days (or longer, if required to obtain any approval of Amyris' stockholders pursuant to Section 3.3(f) above or if any Competition Law so requires) after the final determination of the Purchase Price, then Amyris shall have the option to: (i) continue to require Total to purchase the Amyris JV Assets, plus interest thereon at a rate of 10% per annum; or (ii) purchase from Total the JV Assets owned by Total at a purchase price equal to the Purchase Price, in which event the parties shall effect the sale of the JV Assets held by Total to Amyris at a closing to be held in accordance with Section 3.3(d) above.


10



(i)Notwithstanding anything in this Master Agreement to the contrary, Total shall have no obligation pursuant to this Article 3 to pay the Purchase Price, Amyris shall have no obligation pursuant to this Article 3 to sell to Total its interest in the potential JVCO, and neither Amyris nor Total shall have any obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Article 3 if any required approval of Amyris' stockholders pursuant to Section 3.3(f) above has not been obtained within 60 days after mailing the proxy statement related to such approval, if any required approval of Competition Law has not been obtained, or if any waiting period under Competition Law shall not have expired or been terminated within 60 days (or such longer period as may be required for such approval, expiration or termination under such Competition Law) after the making of the applicable filing under such Competition Law.

ARTICLE 4

The Brazil Business shall include the right to produce Farnesane Diesel Products and Farnesane Renewable Jet Products outside of Brazil for commercialization within Brazil, but shall exclude the right to produce Farnesane Diesel Products and Farnesane Jet Products within Brazil for commercialization outside of Brazil (it being understood that the commercialization of Farnesane Diesel Products and Farnesane Jet Products for use in vehicles which begin an international travel segment within Brazil and conclude such international travel segment outside of Brazil shall constitute commercialization of such products within Brazil).

If the Brazil Business is not acquired by JVCO or Total pursuant to the preceding sentence, the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to agree on a single entity to commercialize Farnesane Diesel Products and Farnesane Jet Products in Brazil, provided, that in the event the parties are unable to agree, Amyris shall be entitled to conduct the Brazil Business independently of Total and JVCO. Promptly following the making of a Go Decision or a Jet Go Decision pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof, Amyris commits to provide Total and JVCO with complete and accurate information to allow Total and JVCO to accurately and independently estimate the value of the Brazil Business. Amyris shall promptly provide all requested information. In connection with the preceding sentence, Amyris shall provide Total, JVCO, and their respective advisors with reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to any assets, properties, contracts, books, records and personnel of the Brazil Business as Total may reasonably request.

Business related to the development, production and commercialization of Farnesane Jet Products.

SECTION 4.2.    Contribution of Brazil Business to JVCO.

(a)If at the time JVCO is formed Amyris shall own [*]% of the capital stock of JVCO, then if Total delivers written notice to Amyris within [*] days following the formation of JVCO that JVCO shall acquire the Brazil Business, the parties shall determine the Ground Floor Price pursuant to Section 4.2(b). If at the time JVCO is formed Amyris shall own [*]% of the capital stock of JVCO, then if Total delivers written notice to Amyris within [*] days following the formation of JVCO that JVCO shall acquire the Brazil Business, [*] for the Brazil Business (the “Brazil Business Sale Price”). Within [*] days following determination of the Ground Floor Price or the Brazil Business Sale Price, as applicable, (i) Total shall transfer to JVCO an amount of readily available cash equal to its pro rata share (based on its pro rata ownership of JVCO) of the Ground Floor Price or the Brazil Business Sale Price, as applicable (which transfer shall not be a capital contribution or a shareholder loan and shall not change the pro rata ownership of JVCO), and (ii) Amyris will contribute the Brazil Business to JVCO in exchange for the payment by JVCO to Amyris of the Ground Floor Price or the Brazil Business Sale Price, as applicable, which contribution shall be effected by such documents as, in the mutual agreement of Total (on behalf of JVCO) and Amyris, are necessary or appropriate to convey the Brazil Business; provided, that Amyris shall be required to provide customary representations or warranties agreed to by the parties for this kind of transactions including basic representations and warranties regarding its authority to enter into the sale documentation, the due execution and binding nature of the sale documentation by Amyris, and that its participation in the sale will not contravene, or require a consent, waiver or approval pursuant to, any applicable law or pursuant to any agreement to which it is subject. If the Brazil Business is to be transferred to JVCO pursuant to the prior sentence, each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws to consummate and make effective any such transfer of the Brazil Business to JVCO, including, without limitation, using reasonable best efforts to obtain all licenses, permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of the competent governmental entities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties shall, when required in order to effect such transfer of the Brazil Business to JVCO, make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required or appropriate submissions, under any Competition Law and shall supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate governmental entity any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to any Competition Law.

(b)For the purposes of this Section 4.2, “Ground Floor Price” means [*], including, but not limited to, [*]; provided, however, that if Amyris and Total are unable to agree upon such Ground Floor Price within [*]


[*] 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.

days of Total's election to cause the Brazil Business to be acquired by JVCO, then either Amyris or Total may submit all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the determination of the Ground Floor Price to a mutually agreed independent “Big Four” accounting firm or an Advisor as defined in Section 3.3(g) (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). Within sixty days after such firm's selection, the Independent Accounting Firm shall make a final determination, binding on the parties hereto, of the appropriate amount of each disputed item submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm. With respect to each disputed item, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either party, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by the parties with respect to such disputed item. The cost of the Independent Accounting Firm's review and determination shall be borne in the same proportion as the aggregate amount of the disputed items that is unsuccessfully disputed by each (as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of disputed items submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm. During the review by the Independent Accounting Firm, Amyris and its accountants will make available to the Independent Accounting Firm such information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations under this Section 4.2(b); provided, however, that the external auditors of Amyris shall not be obligated to make any work papers available to the Independent Accounting Firm or the Advisor except in accordance with such auditors's normal disclosure procedures and then only after such firm has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such auditors.

(c)In the event that Total exercises the Jet Go Decision, Amyris shall have no obligation to contribute any of the assets of the Brazil Business related to the development, production and commercialization of Farnesane Diesel Products, and Amyris shall have no obligation to contribute any of the assets of the Brazil Business related to the development, production and commercialization of Farnesane Jet Products unless Amyris and Total shall have concluded that it is reasonably feasible to restructure the Brazil Business to separate the assets of the Brazil Business related to the development, production and commercialization of Farnesane Diesel Products from the assets of the Brazil Business related to the development, production and commercialization of Farnesane Jet Products, in which event Total and Amyris shall seek to cause to be contributed to JVCO pursuant to this Section 4.2 only the assets of the Brazil Business related to the development, production and commercialization of Farnesane Jet Products.

SECTION 4.3.    Sale of Brazil Business to Total. If Total shall acquire the JV Assets of Amyris pursuant to Section 3.3(c)(i) above, then if Total delivers written notice to Amyris within [*] days following such acquisition of JV Assets that Total shall acquire the Brazil Business, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on the Brazil Business Sale Price. Within [*] days following determination of the Brazil Business Sale Price, Amyris will sell the Brazil Business to Total in exchange for the payment by Total to Amyris of the Brazil Business Sale Price, which sale shall be effected by such documents as, in the mutual agreement of Total and Amyris, are necessary or appropriate to convey the Brazil Business. If the Brazil Business is to be sold to Total pursuant to the prior sentence, each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws to consummate and make effective any such transfer of the Brazil Business to Total, including,


[*] 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.

without limitation, using reasonable best efforts to obtain all licenses, permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of the competent governmental entities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties shall, when required in order to effect such transfer of the Brazil Business to Total, make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required or appropriate submissions, under any Competition Law and shall supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate governmental entity any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to any Competition Law. Customary representations and warranties for an acquisition of this type will be provided by Amyris.

ARTICLE 5
PRO RATA RIGHTS

SECTION 5.1.    Right to Purchase New Securities.

(a)With respect to any proposed issuance of New Securities to any third party (i) on or prior to December 31, 2013 or (ii) on or after January 1, 2014, when there shall then exist a Larger Shareholder and the No-Go Decision Date shall not have occurred and for so long as the Notes are outstanding, Amyris shall offer to Total by written notice (the “Issuance Notice”) the right, for a period of not less than 15 days (or such longer period as may be provided to any other investor with similar rights to purchase new securities) following delivery of such Issuance Notice (the “Participation Exercise Period”), to subscribe for, at a subscription price per New Security equal to the subscription price for which the New Securities are proposed to be issued to such third party and otherwise upon the terms specified in the Issuance Notice, up to that number of New Securities necessary to permit Total to maintain its pro rata ownership of Amyris following such issuance that it had immediately prior to such issuance (calculated on an as-converted basis, and excluding any securities that are not then convertible) (“Pro Rata Share”) in accordance with paragraph (b) below. The New Securities to be offered to Total pursuant to the Issuance Notice shall be, at the sole discretion of Amyris, either in lieu of the New Securities proposed to be issued to such third party or in addition to the New Securities proposed to be issued to such third party; provided that such offer shall in each case provide that Total shall be able to maintain its Pro Rata Share. The Issuance Notice shall include the aggregate number and type of New Securities proposed to be issued, the price per New Security and any other material terms of the proposed issuance to such third party; provided, however, if the sale price at which Amyris proposes to issue, deliver or sell any New Securities is to be paid with consideration other than cash, then the purchase price at which Total may acquire its portion of such New Securities will be equal in value (as determined in good faith by the Amyris Board of Directors) but payable entirely in either cash or Securities (as defined in the SPA) as provided below. Total's rights under this Section 4.1(a) shall terminate if not exercised within the Participation Exercise Period.

(b)Total (or a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the SPA) thereof) may accept Amyris's offer as to the full number of New Securities offered to it or any lesser number by written notice thereof delivered by Total to Amyris prior to the expiration of the Participation Exercise Period (an “Acceptance Notice”), in which event Amyris shall sell, and Total (or such Permitted Transferee thereof) shall buy, upon the terms specified in the Issuance Notice, the number of New Securities agreed to be purchased by Total (or such Permitted Transferee

14



thereof) on a date not later than 5 days (or such longer period as may be provided to any other investor with similar rights to purchase new securities or is required by law) after the expiration of the Participation Exercise Period. The purchase price of the first $30,000,000 of New Securities purchased by Total (or such Permitted Transferee thereof) pursuant to this Section 4.1 on or prior to December 31, 2013 shall be payable by delivering Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal (including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) to such purchase price to Amyris, which Securities shall thereupon be cancelled and extinguished by Amyris. The purchase price of any New Securities purchased by Total (or such Permitted Transferee thereof) pursuant to this Section 4.1 on or prior to December 31, 2013 above $30,000,000, and the Purchase Price of any New Securities purchased by Total (or such Permitted thereof) pursuant to this Section 4.1 on or after January 1, 2014, shall be payable in cash. In the event any purchase by Total (or such Permitted Transferee thereof) is not consummated, other than as a result of the fault of Amyris, within the time period specified above, and Amyris had elected that the New Securities to be offered to Total pursuant to the Issuance Notice be in lieu of the New Securities proposed to be issued to such third party, Amyris may issue the New Securities subject to purchase by Total (or such Permitted Transferee thereof) to the third party to which Amyris intended to sell such New Securities on terms and conditions no less favorable to Amyris than the terms specified in the Issuance Notice.
