ADM will enter into the Expanded Collaboration provided that Solazyme can demonstrate a mutually satisfactory business case. In a mutually satisfactory business case, it is anticipated that ADM would be likely to receive at least * of additional compensation for the use of *, based upon operational run rates, and Solazyme will have demonstrated clear potential to exceed * with known contracts or expressions of interest to purchase the resulting triglyceride oils.

6.6 Right of First Refusal. For years * of the first term of this Agreement, before ADM enters into an agreement with a Third Party to utilize the ADM Phase 3 Assets, ADM will first offer the use of the ADM Phase 3 Assets to Solazyme at the lesser of (i) the terms and conditions offered by the Third Party, or (ii) equivalent terms and conditions to those provided in Sections 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 (with compensation set at *) (the “Right of First Refusal”). Solazyme shall have sixty (60) days from receipt of written notice from ADM (which will include the relevant Third Party terms and conditions) during which to accept or reject such offer. If Solazyme does not accept such offer within the 60-day period, ADM shall be free to accept the Third Party offer to use the applicable ADM Phase 3 Assets. This Right of First Refusal will expire at the end of the first term of this Agreement.

6.7 ADM Use of the ADM Phase 3 Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, ADM shall be able to utilize the ADM Phase 3 Assets described in Article 6 for its own use until Solazyme has committed to make payment to utilize the ADM Phase 3 Assets.

16.1 Indemnification. Each Party (an “Indemnitor”) hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party and each such Party’s respective Affiliates and such Party’s and its Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Damages arising out of, connected with or related to any Third Party claims to the extent arising out of (i) the breach of the Indemnitor’s obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any breach of the Indemnitor’s representations or warranties in this Agreement; except in any such case to the extent that such claims arise out of the negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee.

16.2 Procedure. If an Indemnitee intends to claim indemnification under Section 16.1, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Indemnitor in writing of any claim for indemnification, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall have control of the defense and/or settlement thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. However, if the Indemnitee believes (based on the advice of outside counsel) that due to potential conflicts of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, representation of the Indemnitee by the Indemnitor’s counsel would be inappropriate, the

CONFIDENTIAL

Indemnitee may select separate counsel and the Indemnitor shall be responsible for the costs of such representation of the Indemnitee. Under all other circumstances, the Indemnitee may, in its sole discretion, participate in any such proceeding with separate counsel of its choice, at its own expense. The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply to amounts paid by the Indemnitee in settlement of any claim if such settlement is effected by the Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. At the Indemnitor’s request and expense, the Indemnitee and its employees and agents shall provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of, and preparation for, the defense against any action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification. The Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or consent to an adverse judgment in any such claim, demand, action or other proceeding that admits any wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnitee or its officers, directors, employees or agents, or that imposes additional obligations (financial or otherwise) on the Indemnitee, without the prior express written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

16.3 Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 16.3, NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, RELIANCE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR HARM TO BUSINESS, LOST REVENUES, LOST SAVINGS OR LOST PROFITS SUFFERED BY SUCH PARTY), WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, TORT OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OF ANY KIND, WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE POSSIBILITY THAT SUCH DAMAGES COULD RESULT WAS KNOWN. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, (A) THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT APPLY IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF A BREACH OF THE NON-DISCLOSURE AND NON-USE OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 15 OR UNAUTHORIZED EXPLOITATION OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BEYOND THAT LICENSED UNDER ARTICLE 10, AND (B) NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 16.3 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT ANY PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 16.1 IN RELATION TO AMOUNTS PAID TO A THIRD PARTY.
