PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Amyris, Inc. (referred to as the "Company," " Amyris," "we," "us," or "our") is an renewable products company focused on providing sustainable alternatives to a broad range of petroleum-sourced products. We developed innovative microbial engineering and screening technologies that modify the way microorganisms process sugars. We are using our proprietary synthetic biology platform to design microbes, primarily yeast, and use them as living factories in established fermentation processes to convert plant-sourced sugars into renewable hydrocarbons. We are developing, and, in some cases, already commercializing, products from these hydrocarbons in several target markets, including cosmetics, lubricants, flavors and fragrances, performance materials, and transportation fuels. We call these No Compromise ® products because we design them to perform comparably to, or better than, currently available products.

We were founded in 2003 in the San Francisco Bay Area by a group of scientists from the University of California, Berkeley. Our first major milestone came in 2005 when, through a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, our scientists developed technology capable of creating microbial strains to produce artemisinic acid - a precursor of artemisinin, an effective anti-malarial drug. In 2008, we granted a royalty-free license (and a royalty-free sublicense from a license we received from the University of California) to this technology to the Institute of One World Health who then sublicensed it to Sanofi-Aventis, which currently distributes artemisinin-based anti-malarial drugs made through our technology.

Building on our success with semi-synthetic artemisinin to combat malaria, we have been applying our industrial synthetic biology platform to provide alternatives to a broad range of petroleum-sourced products. We have focused our development efforts on the production of Biofene ® , our brand of renewable farnesene, a long-chain, branched liquid hydrocarbon molecule. Using Biofene as a building block molecule, we are developing a wide range of renewable products for our target markets.

While our platform is able to utilize a wide variety of feedstocks, we are focusing our large-scale production plans primarily on the use of Brazilian sugarcane as our feedstock because of its renewability, low cost and relative price stability. We have also been able to produce Biofene through the use of other feedstocks such as sugar beets, corn dextrose, sweet sorghum and cellulosic sugars.

Our first purpose-built, large-scale Biofene production plant commenced operations in southeastern Brazil in December 2012. This plant is in Brotas, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and is adjacent to an existing sugar and ethanol mill, Paraíso Bioenergia (or Paraíso). We have also commenced initial construction of a second large-scale production plant in Brazil, located at the São Martinho S.A. (or SMSA, a legal successor by spin-off of Usina São Martinho S.A.) sugar and ethanol mill also in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and we intend to complete construction when market developments support the start-up of such plant.

Our business strategy is to focus on direct commercialization of renewable products while moving products in commodity industries, including our fuels and base oil lubricants products, into joint venture arrangements with established industry leaders. We believe this approach will permit access to the capital and resources necessary to support large-scale production and global distribution for our commodity products.

We are focused on building our renewable-product leadership position initially with squalane in cosmetics, niche fuel (diesel and jet) opportunities, fragrance oils, and farnesene for liquid polymer applications. We believe that success in these markets will pave the way to accessing larger markets and having a more significant impact in the longer term.

We were incorporated in 2003. We have two operating subsidiaries, Amyris Brasil Ltda. (formerly Amyris Brasil S.A.) (or Amyris Brasil), and Amyris Fuels LLC (or Amyris Fuels). Amyris Brasil oversees the establishment and expansion of our production in Brazil. Amyris Fuels was originally established to help us develop fuel distribution capabilities in the United States. We began selling fuels through Amyris Fuels in June 2008. Amyris Fuels generated revenue from the sale of ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline to wholesale customers through a network of terminals in the eastern United States. In the third quarter of 2012, we transitioned out of the ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline business, though we continue to maintain the Amyris Fuels subsidiary for activities related to renewable fuel sales.

Our Business Strategy

Petroleum is a fundamental building block for many products, such as consumer products, chemicals, plastics and transportation fuels that are essential to modern economies. Recently, the increased demand for petroleum in the face of limited supply, supply chain uncertainties and negative environmental impacts have created challenges to the current petroleum infrastructure. As a result, there have been many attempts to create products comparable to petroleum derivatives without these drawbacks. However, initial approaches have faced a number of challenges that have limited their success, including exposure to volatile feedstock pricing, questionable environmental sustainability, limited product portfolio, and dependency on government policy.

Our objective is to become the leading provider of renewable, high-performance alternatives to selected petroleum-sourced chemicals and fuels. By leveraging our synthetic biology platform, our partners' know-how, and our experience in industrial fermentation, our products are designed to enable our customers to reduce the environmental impact of their products without compromising performance, and, in some cases, our renewable products provide superior performance to the petroleum-sourced products they are replacing.

Key elements of our strategy include:

1.
Leveraging our technology platform to improve efficiency. We continue applying synthetic biology, primarily our strain engineering platform, to lower the cost of production of our products through improvements in yields and other production process efficiencies. We do this with our industrial platform for yeast strain development at our world-class laboratories. We also support scale up to commercial production in two pilot plant facilities and a demonstration production facility, as well as at various contract manufacturing locations.

2.
Accelerating development through collaborations . In order to accelerate the development of new technologies, production methods or products, we enter into collaborative research, development and commercialization agreements, such as our existing agreements with Total Energies Nouvelles Activités USA, SAS (or Total), Firmenich SA (or Firmenich), , Cosan US, Inc. (or Cosan), Kuraray Co., Ltd. (or Kuraray), and Manufacture Francaise de Pneumatiques Michelin (or Michelin). We have also entered into partnerships with the U.S. government to develop certain technologies and processes capable of improving our ability to produce alternatives to petroleum-sourced products.

3.
Delivering cost efficient manufacturing. Building on our breakthrough technology and experience gained from production through third party contract manufacturing, we built, commissioned and are now operating our own large-scale Biofene production plant in Brotas, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. We opted to focus on Brazilian sugarcane as the feedstock to support our production ramp because of its renewability, low-cost and relative price stability. As we develop cost efficient manufacturing in our first production facility, we expect to work selectively with other Brazilian sugar and ethanol producers to build additional facilities adjacent to their existing mills, thereby reducing the capital required to establish and scale our production operations.

4.
Targeting product markets to maximize returns . We have begun to commercialize our products derived from Biofene primarily in select specialty chemical markets characterized by higher-margin, lower-volume products, where we believe we can earn positive gross margins with current production process efficiencies. For example, in 2011 we initiated sales of squalane, a cosmetic emollient produced from Biofene. At the end of 2013, we estimate that we achieved a 18% market share in the global squalane market. We have also established sales channels to certain niche diesel markets in metropolitan bus fleets in Brazil to generate revenue while building the know-how and credibility as a reliable fuel supplier. As we lower our production costs through technological and manufacturing improvements, we intend to expand into broader, lower-margin, higher volume commodity product markets, such as the broad-based fuels market and base oil lubricants markets, through joint venture arrangements.

Our Breakthrough Technology

Our synthetic biology platform enables us to modify the genetic pathways of microorganisms, primarily yeast, to turn them into living factories to produce target molecules for which we believe there may be significant market opportunities. In addition to using our synthetic biology platform to identify and improve strains of microbes to produce target molecules, we are using our technology platform to develop production processes that we believe will allow us to scale to commercial levels.

The primary biological pathway within the microbe that we currently use to produce our target molecules is the isoprenoid pathway. Isoprenoids constitute a large, diverse class of organic chemicals with current product applications in a wide range of

3



industries, including specialty chemicals and fuels. With this pathway, we can potentially produce thousands of different isoprenoid molecules.

The key steps in our strain engineering and scale-up process have been as follows:

Identifying target molecules. We start our process by identifying, usually based on input from collaborators, a commercial application where we can deliver a No Compromise solution that we want to pursue. We identify the key molecular properties that are essential to product performance in a specific commercial application and then analyze the chemical structures that drive those key performance characteristics. Finally, we identify target molecules or derivatives of molecules that are comprised of these key chemical structures and that may be produced by our yeast strains.

Developing initial strains. Once we have chosen a target molecule, we identify the steps required for its production in a biological pathway. We then seek to design a pathway to produce the target, either directly or by producing a molecule that can, through simple chemical steps, be synthesized, or converted, into the target. Once this pathway is identified, we undertake to engineer it into our yeast strains by employing the processes discussed below.

Improving strain performance and process development . After we have established a pathway and verified that it can produce the target molecule, the yeast strain must be improved to increase the level of efficiency of production. Initially, we focus primarily on yield , a measure of the amount of product produced by a defined amount of sugar as the means to improve strain output. As we advance in our scale up and commercial scale process development, we also seek to improve production output through improvements in strain productivity , the rate at which our product is produced by a given yeast strain, and titer , the concentration of product in the fermentation broth. In addition, we seek to develop processes to improve production recovery efficiency, including separation efficiency, which is the amount of product that is captured from a fermentation run, cycle-time, which is the time needed to run a full fermentation cycle, and the evolution of batch process methods to semi-continuous and continuous production methods.

Moving production from lab to commercial scale. Once we have established a pathway and verified that it can produce the target molecule, the yeast strain must be improved to increase the level of efficiency of production. We design our lab scale two-liter fermenters to mimic the conditions found in larger scale fermentation so that our findings may translate predictably from lab scale to pilot, demonstration and commercial scale. In addition to our lab scale fermenters, we have operating pilot plants in our facilities in Emeryville, California and Campinas, Brazil, as well as two 5,000-liter fermenters in our Campinas demonstration facility. To date, most of our efforts have focused on developing yeast strains to produce Biofene and, to a lesser extent, flavors and fragrances, with significant development efforts devoted to chemical synthesis of other products from Biofene. Though our technology platform allows us to develop yeast strains engineered to produce other target molecules, we expect to continue focusing most of our strain-engineering efforts on Biofene production and, to a lesser extent, selected specialty chemical ingredients, for the foreseeable future.

Our Industrial Production

Our industrial production operations generally involve two major steps. First, we produce a target molecule by means of an industrial fermentation process. In some cases this target molecule is itself the desired end product. In other cases, it must be converted into the desired end product by a second step where we use chemical synthesis of the initial target molecule to produce a final target molecule.

Commercial Production of Target Fermentation Molecules

We have initiated commercial production of Biofene, our initial fermentation molecule, at our purpose-built, large-scale Biofene production plant in Brotas, in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Our Biofene production plant in Brotas is adjacent to an existing sugar and ethanol mill, Paraíso. Under our agreement with Paraíso, they will supply sugarcane juice and other utilities and we were responsible for construction (which commenced in August 2011) and operation of our Biofene production facility. Our Biofene production plant has six 200,000 liter production fermenters and was designed to process sugarcane juice, or its equivalent, from up to one million tons of raw sugarcane annually. In December 2012, following a successful commissioning phase, we began production of Biofene at the facility. Our first shipment of Biofene produced at the facility occurred on February 1, 2013.

Prior to operating our own facility, we relied on multiple contract manufacturing facilities in the United States, Brazil and Spain, which used 100,000 to 240,000 liter fermenters and multiple kinds of feedstock.


4



We have also advanced initial construction of a second large-scale production plant in Brazil, located at the SMSA sugar and ethanol mill also in the state of São Paulo, which we intend to complete when production economics support start-up of that plant. We entered into agreements with SMSA to establish the facility at SMSA, and to form a joint venture SMA Indústria Química S.A. (or SMA). We formed SMA in 2010, and commenced site preparation in December 2010 and civil construction in February 2011. In early 2012, we suspended construction of the plant pending completion and operation of our Brotas facility. The SMA plant is intended to provide a large-scale production facility to support our longer-term production plans.

Following the completion of our SMA plant, we expect to seek to expand our large-scale production capacity of intermediate molecules by entering into agreements with owners of additional sugar and ethanol mills in Brazil.

Chemical Finishing Process

In some cases, we perform additional chemical finishing steps to convert initial target molecules into other finished products, such as renewable squalane, lubricants, polymers and diesel. We have established an agreement with Glycotech Inc. (or Glycotech), for use of a Leland, North Carolina facility of Salisbury Partners, LLC to convert Biofene into squalane and other final products. We expect to enter into additional agreements with other chemical companies for finishing services to access flexible capacity and an array of services as we develop additional products.

Our Products

We are focused on developing a broad range of products to address five identified markets: cosmetics, flavors and fragrances, performance materials, lubricants and transportation fuels.

Cosmetics

Through basic chemical finishing steps, we are able to convert Biofene into squalane. Squalane is used today as an emollient in cosmetics and other personal care products. Squalane traditionally has been manufactured from olive oil or extracted from deep-sea shark liver oil. We believe Amyris-produced squalane offers a purity that is equal or superior to squalane derived from conventional sources. The relatively high price of squalane to date has meant that its use has been limited to small quantities in mass-market product formulations or to use in luxury products. We believe that we are capable of producing squalane at a price that would permit formulators to use squalane more broadly. We currently have agreements with several regional distributors, including in Japan, South Korea, North America, Brazil and Europe.

Lubricants

Base oils are the building blocks of lubricating oils and are currently derived from the crude oil refining process. Additives are materials added to base oils to change their properties, characteristics, or performance (e.g., anti-foam, anti-wear, corrosion inhibitor, detergent, dispersant, pour point depressant, anti-oxidant, or friction modifier). Lubricants are manufactured by combining a base oil with additives required by lubricant product applications, including engine oils, gear oils, hydraulic oils and turbine oils. Biofene may be chemically modified to serve as a base oil, additive, and/or lubricant. We believe the high-purity, synthetic base oil and additive molecules that can be made from Biofene could enable lubricant products to perform in harsh environments under extremes of temperature, moisture, dirt and/or wear.

In December 2010, we entered into an agreement with Cosan Combustíveis e Lubrificantes S.A. and Cosan S.A. Industria e Comércio (such Cosan entities and their affiliates, collectively or individually referred to as Cosan) to establish a joint venture for the worldwide development, production and commercialization of renewable base oils for the automotive, industrial and commercial lubricants markets. In March 2013, we expanded this collaboration to also include additives and lubricants for the automotive, industrial and commercial lubricants markets. The joint venture is operated through Novvi LLC (or Novvi). We anticipate that Novvi will source Biofene for its products initially from Amyris production facilities, and Amyris and Cosan, as co-owners of Novvi, would share its development, marketing and operating costs. In 2013, Novvi purchased initial quantities of Biofene for base oil production.

Flavors and Fragrances

We believe we are well situated to cost-effectively produce natural oils and aroma chemicals that are commonly used in the flavors and fragrances market. Many of the natural ingredients used in flavors and fragrances market are expensive because there is limited supply and the synthetic alternatives require complex chemical conversions. Amyris intends to offer flavors and fragrances companies a natural route to procure these ingredients without sacrificing cost or quality.


5



Currently, we are working with partners to develop a variety of flavors and fragrances ingredients that are either direct fermentation target molecules or derivatives of fermentation target molecules.

We plan to participate in the flavors and fragrance market by providing sustainable replacements that are high quality, reliably available, and competitively priced. To begin to develop our product offerings in this area, we have established various partnerships, including:

A collaboration agreement with a global flavors and fragrances company for development and commercialization of various compounds for the flavors and fragrances market.  Under this agreement, we conduct development activities and grant the partner licenses under our technology for commercialization of the compounds in exchange for funding and a profit sharing arrangement.

A joint development and license agreement with a leading global creator of flavors and fragrances for consumer products for specified fragrance molecules. Under the terms of the multi-year agreement, we are jointly developing these fragrance ingredients for the flavors and fragrances market, and we and the collaboration partner will share in the economic value derived from these ingredients. The agreement provides for specified funding during the term of the agreement based upon the achievement of certain technical milestones.
 
Performance Materials

Polymers are used in the manufacture of thousands of products that incorporate plastics and other polymeric materials, and we believe Biofene has the potential to provide significant opportunities for development of renewable ingredients and additives for the polymer market.
 
In July 2011, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Kuraray to develop certain polymers from Biofene. Under the agreement, Kuraray will develop polymers from Biofene to replace or complement petroleum-derived molecules such as butadiene and isoprene in the production of specified classes of high-performing polymers. Upon successful completion of the technical development program for the first polymer, Amyris and Kuraray would enter into a supply agreement for Kuraray's exclusive use of Biofene in the manufacturing and commercialization of these polymer products.

Our synthetic biology platform is able to produce other building blocks with the potential to provide an array of new renewable polymers to serve a variety of markets. For instance, we are working with Michelin to produce renewable isoprene and acquired a muconic acid platform that allows us to expand to a broad range of plastic additives and other applications.

Transportation Fuels

We have selected diesel as our primary area of focus within the transportation fuels market because of its projected global demand growth, the lack of a scalable, competitive renewable product, and our belief that our fuel product has properties superior to those of existing renewable alternatives. In general, our renewable diesel is produced by the simple chemical step of the hydrogenation of Biofene. Hydrogenation is a common chemical process currently used in the production of numerous products, such as saturation of vegetable oils to make margarine.

In November 2011 and July 2012, we entered into amendments of our technology license, development, research and collaboration agreement with Total, and in November 2013 and December 2013 we established a joint venture with Total with respect to such programs to establish a renewable diesel development program as described in more detail below under "Total Collaboration Products." We are in the process of obtaining jet fuel certification as part of a two-year program to open up the market and launch jet fuel in partnership with Total. We are waiting approval for use of our fuel in the aviation industry by the American Society for Testing and Materials (or ASTM).

We have completed significant steps to validate our ability to produce a market-accepted diesel product. By design, our product is a hydrocarbon of similar size to many of the hydrocarbons in petroleum-sourced diesel fuel. Due to the similarity of its chemical composition to that of existing petroleum-sourced diesel, our product has the properties required of diesel fuel and thereby satisfies the ASTM D975 Table 1 specifications for petroleum-derived diesel fuel oils. The Environmental Protection Agency (or EPA), has registered our diesel for use as a 35% blend with petroleum diesel in highway vehicles and non-road equipment and we are working to obtain registration for a higher blend with petroleum diesel, as opposed to the typical 3-10% blend of other bio-diesel products with petroleum diesel. We have received required approvals with Brazilian Agência Nacional do Petróleo, Gas Natural e Biocombustíveis (or ANP) for specific uses of our fuel in Brazil and have registered our Diesel Fuel with the California Air Resources Board (or CARB) and are pursuing registration or approvals with other relevant regulatory bodies.

6




 
Our ability to enter the diesel market is also dependent upon our ability to continue to achieve the required regulatory approvals in the global markets in which we will seek to sell our diesel products. These approvals primarily involve clearance by the relevant environmental agencies in the particular jurisdiction. For instance, in 2013, the EPA registered farnesane as a new chemical substance under the Toxic Substances Control Act (or TSCA), clearing the way for us to manufacture and sell farnesane without restrictions in the United States. We must also be certified by a sufficient number of diesel engine manufacturers, vehicle manufacturers or operators of large trucking fleets so that our diesel will have an appropriately large and accessible addressable market. These certification processes include fuel analysis modeling and the testing of engines and their components to ensure that the use of our diesel fuel does not degrade performance or reduce the lifecycle of the engine or cause it to fail to meet emissions standards.

We have completed successful engine testing of our diesel fuel with Cummins Engine Company (or Cummins), and Mercedes-Benz Brasil at a blend of up to 10%, and our renewable diesel has received OEM engine warranties from Cummins, Volkswagen AG and Mercedes-Benz Brasil for demonstration purposes. We continue to work with other diesel engine manufacturers to qualify our product for use in their engines.

Total Collaboration Products

We have a license, development, research and collaboration agreement with Total that sets forth the terms for the research, development, production and commercialization of chemical and/or fuels products to be agreed on by the parties. The agreement establishes a multi-phased process through which compounds are identified, screened, selected for product feasibility studies, and then ultimately selected as a lead compound for development. To commercialize any strains and compounds that are developed, Amyris and Total expect to form one or more joint ventures, the first of which is the fuels joint venture described below. Both Amyris and Total retain certain rights to make covered products independently subject to making royalty payments to the non-producing party, and Total has certain rights to require Amyris to work on non-collaboration projects. We have retained rights to produce and commercialize products in the following markets: flavors and fragrances; cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, consumer packaged goods, food additives, and pesticides. The first programs we are focusing on with Total relate to renewable diesel and jet fuel and industrial lubricants; however, we and Total retain the right to propose product development programs under these agreements in the future.

In November 2011, we entered into an amendment of the collaboration agreement with Total with respect to development and commercialization of Biofene for diesel. This represented an expansion of the initial collaboration that the parties established in 2010, and established a global, exclusive collaboration for the development of Biofene for diesel and a framework for the creation of a joint venture to manufacture and commercialize Biofene for diesel. In July 2012 and December 2013, we entered into a series of agreements to establish a research and development program and form a joint venture to produce and commercialize Biofene-based diesel and jet fuels, which joint venture was formed in December 2013. With an exception for our fuels business in Brazil, the collaboration and joint venture establish the exclusive means for us to develop, produce and commercialize fuels from Biofene. We granted the joint venture exclusive licenses under certain of our intellectual property to make and sell joint venture products. We also granted the joint venture, in the event of a buy-out of our interest in the joint venture by Total (which Total is entitled to do under certain circumstances) a non-exclusive license to optimize or engineer yeast strains used by us to produce farnesene for the joint venture’s diesel and jet fuels.

Product Distribution and Sales

We intend to distribute and sell our products either directly, through joint ventures, or with partners, depending on the market. For most chemical applications, we intend to sell directly to specialty chemical and consumer products companies. Generally, our collaboration agreements do not include any specific purchase obligations, and sales are contingent upon achievement of technical and commercial milestones. In addition, we expect to commercialize certain products, including fuels and base oils through joint venture arrangements with Total and Cosan, respectively.

Commencing in 2008, we began developing a fuels distribution network and distribution capabilities in the U.S. through Amyris Fuels. Through mid-2012, we purchased ethanol produced by third parties and gasoline and sold both pure ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline to wholesale customers. For 2012, Mansfield Oil Company accounted for more than 10% of our reported revenues by virtue of its purchases of ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline from Amyris Fuels. Collaboration revenues from Total also accounted for more than 10% of our reported revenues in 2012. Customers purchased ethanol and ethanol-blended gasoline from us under short-term agreements and spot transactions, and we generally did not have any contractual commitments from customers to purchase ethanol and ethanol-blended gasoline from us over any period of time. Nearly all of our customer revenue through the third quarter of 2012 came from the sale of ethanol and reformulated ethanol-

7



blended gasoline, with the remainder of our revenues coming from collaborations and government grants and, more recently, sales of our renewable products. In the third quarter of 2012, we transitioned out of the ethanol and ethanol-blended gasoline business. We do not expect to be able to replace much of the revenue lost as a result of this transition, particularly in 2013, while we continue our efforts to establish a renewable products business. Renewable product sales to Nikko Chemicals Co., Ltd. (Nikko) and collaboration revenue from Firmenich, International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF), and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (or DARPA) each accounted for more than 10% of our reported revenues in 2013.

Intellectual Property

Our success depends in large part upon our ability to obtain and maintain proprietary protection for our products and technologies, and to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. We seek to avoid the latter by monitoring patents and publications in our product areas and technologies to be aware of developments that may affect our business, and to the extent we identify such developments, evaluate and take appropriate courses of action. With respect to the former, our policy is to protect our proprietary position by, among other methods, filing for patent applications on inventions that are important to the development and conduct of our business with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (or the USPTO), and its foreign counterparts.

As of January 31, 2014, we had 247 issued U.S. and foreign patents and 327 pending U.S. and foreign patent applications that are owned by or licensed to us. We also use other forms of protection (such as trademark, copyright, and trade secret) to protect our intellectual property, particularly where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. We aim to take advantage of all of the intellectual property rights that are available to us and believe that this comprehensive approach provides us with a strong proprietary position.

Patents extend for varying periods according to the date of patent filing or grant and the legal term of patents in various countries where patent protection is obtained. The actual protection afforded by patent, which can vary from country to country, depends on the type of patent, the scope of its coverage and the availability of legal remedies in the country. See “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-Our proprietary rights may not adequately protect our technologies and product candidates.”

We also protect our proprietary information by requiring our employees, consultants, contractors and other advisers to execute nondisclosure and assignment of invention agreements upon commencement of their respective employment or engagement. Agreements with our employees also prevent them from bringing the proprietary rights of third parties to us. In addition, we also require confidentiality or material transfer agreements from third parties that receive our confidential data or materials.

Competition

We expect that our renewable products will compete with both the traditional, largely petroleum-based specialty chemical and fuels products that are currently being used in our target markets and with the alternatives to these existing products that established enterprises and new companies are seeking to produce.

Chemical Products

In the specialty chemical markets that we are initially seeking to enter, and in other chemical markets that we may seek to enter in the future, we will compete primarily with the established providers of chemicals currently used in products in these markets. Producers of these incumbent products include global oil companies, large international chemical companies and companies specializing in specific products, such as squalane or essential oils. We may also compete in one or more of these markets with products that are offered as alternatives to the traditional petroleum-based or other traditional products being offered in these markets.

Transportation Fuel Products

In the transportation fuels market, we expect to compete with independent and integrated oil refiners, advanced biofuels companies and biodiesel companies. Refiners compete with us by selling traditional fuel products and some are also pursuing hydrocarbon fuel production using non-renewable feedstocks, such as natural gas and coal, as well as processes using renewable feedstocks, such as vegetable oil and biomass. We also expect to compete with companies that are developing the capacity to produce diesel and other transportation fuels from renewable resources in other ways. These include advanced biofuels companies using specific enzymes that they have developed to convert cellulosic biomass, which is non-food plant material such as wood chips, corn stalks and sugarcane bagasse, into fermentable sugars. Similar to us, some companies are seeking to use engineered enzymes to convert sugars, in some cases from cellulosic biomass and in others from natural sugar sources, into renewable diesel and other fuels. Biodiesel companies convert vegetable oils and animal oils into diesel fuel and some are seeking to produce diesel and other transportation fuels using thermochemical methods to convert biomass into renewable fuels.

With the emergence of many new companies seeking to produce chemicals and fuels from alternative sources, we may face increasing competition from alternative fuels and chemicals companies. As they emerge, some of these companies may be able to establish production capacity and commercial partnerships to compete with us.

Competitive Factors

We believe the primary competitive factors in both the chemicals and fuels markets are:

product price;

product performance and other measures of quality;

infrastructure compatibility of products;

sustainability; and

dependability of supply.

We believe that for our chemical products to succeed in the market, we must demonstrate that our products are comparable alternatives to existing products and to any alternative products that are being developed for the same markets based on some combination of product cost, availability, performance, and consumer preference characteristics. With respect to our diesel and other transportation fuels products, we believe that our product must perform as effectively as petroleum-based fuel, or alternative fuels, and be available on a cost-competitive basis. In addition, with the wide range of renewable fuels products under development, we must be successful in reaching potential customers and convincing them that ours are effective and reliable alternatives.

Environmental and Other Regulatory Matters

Our development and production processes involve the use, generation, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous chemicals and radioactive and biological materials. We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and international laws, regulations and permit requirements governing the use, generation, manufacture, transportation, storage, handling and disposal of these materials in the United States, Brazil and other countries where we operate or may operate or sell our products in the future. These laws, regulations and permits can require expensive fees, pollution control equipment or operational changes to limit actual or potential impact of our technology on the environment and violation of these laws could result in significant fines, civil sanctions, permit revocation or costs from environmental remediation. We believe we are currently in substantial compliance with applicable environmental regulations and permitting. However, future developments including our commencement of commercial manufacturing of one or more of our products, more stringent environmental regulation, policies and enforcement, the implementation of new laws and regulations or the discovery of unknown environmental conditions may require expenditures that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. See “Risk Factors-Risks Relating to Our Business-We may incur significant costs complying with environmental laws and regulations, and failure to comply with these laws and regulations could expose us to significant liabilities.”

The use of genetically-modified microorganisms (or GMMs), such as our yeast strains, is subject to laws and regulations in many countries. In the United States, the EPA regulates the commercial use of GMMs as well as potential products produced from the GMMs. Various states within the United States could choose to regulate products made with GMMs as well. While the strain of genetically modified yeast that we use, S. cerevisiae , is eligible for exemption from EPA review because the EPA recognizes it as posing a low risk we must satisfy certain criteria to achieve this exemption, including but not limited to use of compliant

9



containment structures and safety procedures. In Brazil, GMMs are regulated by the National Biosafety Technical Commission (or the CTNBio) under its Biosafety Law No. 11.105-2005. We have obtained approval from CTNBio to generally use GMMs under specific conditions in our Campinas facilities and our production plant in Brotas for research and development purposes. In addition, we have received CTNBio approval for commercial use of a specific strain in our Brotas plant.

We expect to encounter GMM regulations in most if not all of the countries in which we may seek to make our products, however, the scope and nature of these regulations will likely be different from country to country. If we cannot meet the applicable requirements in countries in which we intend to produce our products using our yeast strains, then our business will be adversely affected. See “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-Our use of genetically-modified feedstocks and yeast strains to produce our products subjects us to risks of regulatory limitations and rejection of our products.”

Our renewable chemical products may be subject to government regulations in our target markets. In the United States, the EPA administers the requirements of the TSCA, which regulates the commercial registration, distribution, and use of many chemicals. Before an entity can manufacture or distribute significant volumes of a chemical, it needs to determine whether that chemical is listed in the TSCA inventory. If the substance is listed, then manufacture or distribution can commence immediately. If not, then in most cases a “Chemical Abstracts Service” number registration and pre-manufacture notice must be filed with the EPA, which has up to 90 days to review the filing.

Our diesel and jet fuel is subject to regulation by various government agencies. In the United States, this includes the EPA and the CARB. In Brazil, this includes ANP. To date we have obtained registration with the EPA for the use of our diesel in the United States at a 35% blend rate with petroleum diesel. In addition, ANP has authorized the use of our diesel fuel at blend rates of 10% and 30% for specific transportation fleets. In Europe, we obtained Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemical Substances (or REACH) registration for importing/manufacturing up to 1,000 metric tons of farnesane (our diesel fuel) per year and are pursuing data validation for greater volumes. Registration with each of these bodies is required for the sale and use of our fuels within their respective jurisdictions. Jet fuel (aviation turbine fuel) validation and specifications are subject to the ASTM International industry consensus process and the Brazilian ANP national adoption process. Our jet fuel must also be validated and supported by an applicable ASTM aviation turbine fuel standard. Any failure to achieve required validation and certification for our jet fuel could impair or delay our plans to introduce a jet fuel product in 2014, which would have a material adverse impact on our renewable product revenues for the year. In addition, for us to achieve full access to the United States fuels market for our fuel products, we will need to obtain EPA and CARB (and potentially other state agencies) certifications for our feedstock pathway and production facilities, including certification of a feedstock lifecycle analysis relating to greenhouse gas emissions. Any delay in obtaining these additional certifications could impair our ability to sell our renewable fuels to refiners, importers, blenders and other parties that produce transportation fuels as they comply with federal and state requirements to include certified renewable fuels in their products. See “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-We may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for the sale of our renewable products.”

Research and Development

We devote substantial resources to our research and development efforts. As of February 28, 2014 , our research and development organization included approximately 199 employees, 65 of whom held Ph.D.s. Our technology development is currently focused primarily on improving the performance of our production strains and on developing strains that produce new molecules. To facilitate the transfer of our fermentation technology to production, we operate pilot-scale fermentation facilities in both Emeryville, California and Campinas, Brazil, and transfer strains on a regular basis. Our process consists of a number of discrete steps including:
identifying new target molecules
creating new microbial strains capable of producing the target molecule
increasing product yield and productivity from microbial strains through strain modification or fermentation improvements
increasing efficiency of product separation and purification
continuous translation of these steps from lab to commercial scale production.
 
Our research and development expenditures were approximately $56.1 million , $73.6 million , and $87.3 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , respectively.

Employees

As of February 28, 2014 , we had 392 full-time employees. Of these employees, 233 were in the United States and 159 were in Brazil. Except for labor union representation for Brazil-based employees based on labor code requirements in Brazil, none of our employees is represented by a labor union or is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have never experienced any employment-related work stoppages and consider relations with our employees to be good.

Financial Information About Geographic Areas

Financial information regarding revenues and long-lived assets by geographic area is included in Note 15, "Reporting Segments” in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Form 10-K.

Business Background and Available Information

We organized our business in July 2003 as a California corporation under the name Amyris Biotechnologies, Inc. and have maintained our headquarters and research facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area since that time. In June 2010, we reincorporated in Delaware and changed our name to Amyris, Inc. We commenced research activities in 2005, focusing on the development of an alternative source of artemisinic acid for the treatment of malaria and launched research efforts for production of Biofene in 2006. In 2008, we began to sell third party ethanol to wholesale customers through our Amyris Fuels subsidiary, which generated revenue from the sale of ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline to wholesale customers through a network of terminals in the eastern United States. We completed our planned transition out of the ethanol and ethanol-blended gasoline business in the third quarter of 2012, though we continue to maintain the Amyris Fuels subsidiary for activities related to renewable fuel sales. We first established a presence in Brazil in 2008 through the opening of laboratories in Campinas. Our corporate headquarters are located at 5885 Hollis Street, Suite 100, Emeryville, CA 94608, and our telephone number is (510) 450-0761. Our website address is www.amyris.com.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially and adversely harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have incurred losses to date, anticipate continuing to incur losses in the future and may never achieve or sustain profitability.

We have incurred significant losses in each year since our inception and believe that we will continue to incur losses and negative cash flow from operations into at least 2014. As of December 31, 2013 , we had an accumulated deficit of $821.4 million and had cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $8.3 million . We have significant outstanding debt and contractual obligations related to purchase commitments, as well as capital and operating leases. As of December 31, 2013 , our debt totaled $152.1 million , net of discount of $27.9 million, of which $6.4 million matures within the next twelve months. In January 2014, we closed the issuance of an additional $34.0 million of debt pursuant to agreements entered into in 2013. In addition, our debt agreements contain various covenants, including restrictions on business that could cause us to be at risk of defaults. We expect to incur additional costs and expenses related to the continued development and expansion of our business, including construction and operation of our manufacturing facilities, contract manufacturing, research and development operations, and operation of our pilot plants and demonstration facility. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

We have limited experience producing our products at commercial scale and may not be able to commercialize our products to the extent necessary to sustain and grow our current business.

To commercialize our products, we must be successful in using our yeast strains to produce target molecules at commercial scale and at a commercially viable cost. If we cannot achieve commercially-viable production economics for enough products to support our business plan, including through establishing and maintaining sufficient production scale and volume, we will be unable to achieve a sustainable integrated renewable products business. Virtually all of our production capacity is through a purpose-built, large-scale production plant in Brotas, Brazil. This plant commenced operations in 2013, and scaling and running the plant has been, and continues to be, a time-consuming, costly, uncertain and expensive process. Given our limited experience commissioning and operating our own manufacturing facilities and our limited financial resources, we cannot be sure that we will be successful achieving production economics that allow us to meet our plans for commercialization of various products we intend to offer. In addition, to date we have only produced Biofene at the Brotas plant. Our attempts to scale production of new molecules at the plant is subject to uncertainty and risk. For example, even to the extent we successfully complete product development in our laboratories and pilot and demonstration facilities, and at contract manufacturing facilities, we may be unable to translate such success to large-scale, purpose-built plants. If this occurs, our ability to commercialize our technology will be adversely affected and we may be unable to produce and sell any significant volumes of our products. Also, with respect to products that we are able to bring to market, we may not be able to lower the cost of production, which would adversely affect our ability to sell such products profitably.

We will require significant inflows of cash from financing and collaboration transactions to fund our anticipated operations and may not be able to obtain such financing and collaboration funding on favorable terms, if at all.

Our planned 2014 and 2015 working capital needs and our planned operating and capital expenditures for 2014 and 2015 are dependent on significant inflows of cash from existing and new collaboration partners and cash contribution from growth in renewable product sales, as well as additional funding from new joint ventures or other collaborations, and may also require additional funding from equity financings, credit facilities or loans, especially to the extent that we are unable to ramp up positive gross margin product sales or close on sufficient funding from existing and new collaboration partners. We will continue to need to fund our research and development and related activities and to provide working capital to fund production, storage, distribution and other aspects of its business. Some of our existing anticipated financing sources, such as research and development collaborations, are subject to the risk that we cannot meet milestones or are not yet subject to definitive agreements or mandatory funding commitments and, if needed, we may not be able to secure additional types of financing in a timely manner or on reasonable terms, if at all.

In 2013, we completed several equity and convertible debt financings to provide us with cash resources to pursue our business plans. In August 2013, we entered into an agreement with Total and Maxwell (Mauritius) Pte Ltd, (or Temasek), to sell up to $73.0 million in convertible promissory notes in private placements over a period of up to 24 months from the date of signing (referred to as the August 2013 Financing). The August 2013 Financing was divided into two tranches (one for $42.6 million and one for $30.4 million ), each with differing closing conditions. Of the total possible purchase price in the financing, $60.0 million was to be paid in the form of cash by Temasek ( $35.0 million in the first tranche and up to $25.0 million in the second tranche) and $13.0 million was to be paid by cancellation of outstanding convertible promissory notes held by Total in connection with its exercise of pro rata rights ($7.6 million in the first tranche and $5.4 million in the second tranche). In October 2013, the Company amended the agreement for the August 2013 Financing to include entities affiliated with FMR LLC (referred to as the Fidelity Entities) as additional investors for the first tranche in the principal amount of $7.6 million, and to proportionally increase the amount acquired by exchange and cancellation of outstanding convertible promissory notes held by Total to $14.6 million ($9.2 million in the first tranche and up to $5.4 million in the second tranche). Prior to the closing of the first tranche of the August Financing, Temasek advanced $35.0 million of financing through the purchase of a senior bridge note (referred to as the Temasek Bridge Note) due at the first closing. Also in October 2013, we completed the initial closing of the first tranche of the August 2013 Financing, issuing a total of $51.8 million in convertible promissory notes for cash proceeds of $7.6 million and cancellation of outstanding promissory notes and convertible promissory notes of $44.2 million, of which $35.0 million resulted from the cancellation of the Temasek Bridge Note. In December 2013, we agreed to sell an additional $3.0 million of senior convertible notes in the second tranche of the August 2013 Financing to funds affiliated with Wolverine Asset Management (or Wolverine) and we elected to call $25.0 million in additional funds from Temasek pursuant to its previous commitment to purchase such amount of convertible promissory notes in the second tranche. Additionally, in December 2013, we agreed to sell approximately $6.0 million of convertible promissory notes in the second tranche to Total through cancellation of the same amount of principal of previously outstanding convertible notes held by Total (in respect of Total’s preexisting contractual right to maintain its pro rata ownership position through such cancellation of indebtedness). In January 2014, we completed the offering of such convertible promissory notes in the second tranche.

The terms of the August 2013 Financing include significant potential reductions in the conversion price for the notes if we do not meet certain performance milestones and other conditions. These conditions, if triggered, could result in further reductions to the conversion price that would cause significant additional dilution to our stockholders if the notes are ultimately converted. Furthermore, if not converted, we may not have sufficient cash to repay the notes when they become due, which could result in insolvency and related issues. In addition, we were required to agree to significant covenants that have an impact on our ability to engage in certain transactions. For example, the purchase agreement for the August 2013 Financing (referred to as the August 2013 SPA) requires us to obtain the consent of a majority of the purchasers in the financing before completing any change-of-control transaction, or purchasing assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions in an amount greater than $20.0 million, in each case while the notes are outstanding. We also agreed to provide the purchasers with pro rata rights under which they could cancel up to the full amount of outstanding notes to pay for equity securities if we raise additional financing during the term of the notes, which could delay or prevent us from obtaining additional financing if the purchasers do not support it.

To the extent we obtain funding through the issuance of additional equity securities, our existing stockholders will suffer dilution. For example, in 2013, we completed private placements of our common stock that resulted in the issuance of approximately 6.6 million shares of our common stock. Also, in 2013, including the August 2013 Financing and research and development-related funding, we issued approximately $72.6 million in senior convertible promissory notes that are convertible into common stock. In June 2013 and July 2013 we issued an aggregate $30.0 million of convertible promissory notes with a conversion price of $3.08 per share pursuant to our arrangement with Total for research an development-related funding. In October 2013, we issued $51.8 million in convertible promissory notes that are convertible into common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.44 , and in December 2013, we agreed to issue approximately $34.0 million in convertible promissory notes that are convertible into common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.87, each as part of the August Financing. The placement of $34.0 million of senior unsecured convertible notes closed in January 2014. Through 2015, we may issue up to an aggregate of $21.7 million in additional unsecured senior convertible promissory notes, with a conversion price of $7.0682 per share, under the agreements with Total described below under the risk factor, “Our relationship with our strategic partner, Total, may have a substantial impact on our company.” Furthermore, under the convertible note financing approved by the stockholders of the Company in September 2013, we may issue up to an additional $3.2 million in convertible promissory notes at an initial conversion price of $2.44, and up to an additional $20.96 million in convertible promissory notes at a conversion price of $2.87. In addition, in connection with the initial closing of the August 2013 Financing, we issued a warrant to Temasek to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, exercisable only if Total converts certain preexisting convertible promissory notes.

In addition to dilution, to the extent we issue convertible promissory notes and similar instruments, we would become subject to various covenants, including restrictions on our business, that could cause us to be at risk of defaults. For example, the convertible notes we issued in 2012, 2013 and early 2014 contain various covenants, including restrictions on the amount of debt we are permitted to incur, a loan and security agreement we entered into in March 2014 included covenants regarding fund raising, cash

13



flows and revenues, and the convertible notes or other debt we may issue in connection with future debt financings could contain similar covenants.

In addition to debt and equity financing, we depend on collaboration funding to support our operating expenses. While part of this funding is committed based on existing collaboration agreements, our 2014 business plan depends on identifying and obtaining funding under additional collaborations that are not yet subject to any definitive agreement or are not yet identified. In addition, some of our existing anticipated collaboration funding is subject to our achievement of milestones or other funding conditions. If we cannot secure sufficient collaboration funding to support our operating expenses in excess of cash contributions from product sales and existing debt and equity financing, in order to raise sufficient funds to finance our ongoing operations, we may need to issue additional preferred and discounted equity, agree to onerous covenants, grant further security interests in our assets, enter into collaboration and licensing arrangements that require us to relinquish commercial rights or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us, or any or all of these possibilities. If we fail to secure such funding, we could be forced to curtail our operations, which would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue with our business plans and on our status as a going concern.

If we are unable to raise additional financing, or if other expected sources of funding are delayed or not received, we would take the following actions as early as the second quarter of 2014 to support our liquidity needs through the remainder of 2014 and into 2015:

Effect significant headcount reductions in the United States and in Brazil, particularly with respect to both general and administrative employees and other employees not connected to critical or contracted activities.

Shift our focus to existing products and customers with significantly reduced investment in new product and commercial development efforts.

Reduce our expenditures for third party contractors, including consultants, professional advisors and other vendors.

Suspend operations at our pilot plants and demonstration facilities.

Reduce or delay uncommitted capital expenditures, including non-essential lab equipment and information technology projects.

The contingency cash plan contemplating these actions is designed to save an estimated $25.0 million to $35.0 million over the next twelve months. Implementing this plan could have a material negative impact on our ability to continue our business as currently contemplated, including, without limitation, delays or failures in its ability to:

Achieve planned production levels;

Develop and commercialize products within planned timelines or at planned scales; and

Continue other core activities.

Furthermore, any inability to scale-back operations as necessary, and any unexpected liquidity needs, could create pressure to implement more severe measures. Such measures could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet contractual requirements, including obligations to maintain manufacturing operations, and increase the severity of the consequences described above.


If our major production facilities do not successfully commence or scale up operations, our customer relationships, business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

A substantial component of our planned production capacity in the near and long term depends on successful operations at our initial and planned large-scale production plants in Brazil. We are in the early stages of operating our first purpose-built, large-scale production plant in Brotas, Brazil and may complete construction of certain other facilities in the coming years. Delays or problems in the construction, start-up or operation of these facilities will cause delays in our ramp-up of production and hamper our ability to reduce our production costs. Delays in construction can occur due to a variety of factors, including regulatory requirements and our ability to fund construction and commissioning costs. Once our large-scale production facilities are built, we must successfully commission them and they must perform as we have designed them. If we encounter significant delays, cost overruns, engineering issues, contamination problems, equipment or raw material supply constraints, unexpected equipment

14



maintenance requirements, safety issues, work stoppage or other serious challenges in bringing these facilities online and operating them at commercial scale, we may be unable to produce our initial renewable products in the time frame we have planned. For example, we are planning to start using our plant at Brotas to produce molecules beyond Biofene. To date, we have only produced Biofene at the plant. In order to produce additional molecules at Brotas, we are required to perform thorough transition activities, and modify the design of the plant. Any modifications to the production plant could cause complications in the start-up and operations of the plant, which could result in delays or failures in production. We may also need to continue to use contract manufacturing sources more than we expect (e.g., if the modifications to the Brotas plant are not successful or have a negative impact on the plant's operations), which would reduce our anticipated gross margins and may prevent us from accessing certain markets for our products. Further, if our efforts to increase (or complete and commence, as the case may be) production at these facilities are not successful, other mill owners in Brazil or elsewhere may decide not to work with us to develop additional production facilities, demand more favorable terms or delay their commitment to invest capital in our production.

Our reliance on the large-scale production plant in Brotas, Brazil subjects us to execution and economic risks.

Our decision to focus our efforts for production capacity on the manufacturing facility in Brotas, Brazil means that we will have limited manufacturing sources for our products in 2014 and beyond. Accordingly, any failure to establish operations at that plant could have a significant negative impact on our business, including our ability to achieve commercial viability for our products. With the facility in Brotas, Brazil, we are, for the first time, operating a commercial fermentation and separation facility. We are inexperienced at operating plants and may face unexpected difficulties associated with the operation of the plant. For example, we have in the past, at certain contract manufacturing facilities, encountered significant delays and difficulties in ramping up production based on contamination in the production process, problems with plant utilities, lack of automation and related human error, issues arising from process modifications to reduce costs and adjust product specifications, and other similar challenges. Such challenges could arise in our plant in Brotas, Brazil, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to remedy them quickly or effectively enough to achieve commercially viable near-term production costs and volumes.

As part of our arrangement to build the plant in Brotas, Brazil we have an agreement with Paraíso Bioenergia to purchase from Paraíso Bioenergia sugarcane juice corresponding to a certain number of tons of sugarcane per year, along with specified water and vapor volumes. Until this annual volume is reached, we are restricted from purchasing sugarcane juice for processing in the facility from any third party, subject to limited exceptions, unless we pay the premium to Paraíso Bioenergia that we would have paid if we bought the juice from them. As such, we will be relying on Paraíso Bioenergia to supply such juice and utilities on a timely basis, in the volumes we need, and at competitive prices. If a third party can offer superior prices and Paraíso Bioenergia does not consent to our purchasing from such third party, we would be required to pay Paraíso Bioenergia the applicable premium, which would have a negative impact on our production cost. Furthermore, we agreed to pay a price for the juice that is based on the lower of the cost of two other products produced by Paraíso Bioenergia using such juice, plus a premium. Paraíso Bioenergia may not want to sell sugarcane juice to us if the price of one of the other products is substantially higher than the one setting the price for the juice we purchase. While the agreement provides that Paraíso Bioenergia would have to pay a penalty to us if it fails to supply the agreed-upon volume of juice for a given month, the penalty may not be enough to compensate us for the increased cost if third-party suppliers do not offer competitive prices. Also, if the prices of the other products produced by Paraíso Bioenergia increase, we could be forced to pay those increased prices for production without a related increase in the price at which we can sell our products, reducing or eliminating any margins we can otherwise achieve. If in the future these supply terms no longer provide a viable economic structure for the operation in Brotas, Brazil we may be required to renegotiate our agreement, which could result in manufacturing disruptions and delays.

Furthermore, as we continue to scale up production of our products, both through contract manufacturers and at our large-scale production plant in Brotas, Brazil, we may be required to store increasing amounts of our products for varying periods of time and under differing temperatures or other conditions that cannot be easily controlled, which may lead to a decrease in the quality of our products and their utility profiles and could adversely affect their value. If our stored products degrade in quality, we may suffer losses in inventory and incur additional costs in order to further refine our stored products or we may need to make new capital investments in shipping, improved storage or sales channels and related logistics.

Our joint venture with São Martinho S.A. subjects us to certain legal and financial terms that could adversely affect us.

We have various agreements with SMSA that contemplate construction of another large-scale manufacturing facility as a joint venture in Brazil. Under these agreements, we are responsible for designing and managing the construction project, and are responsible for the initial construction costs. We projected the construction costs of the project to be approximately $100.0 million . While we completed a significant portion of the construction of the plant before 2012, we delayed further construction and commissioning of the plant while we constructed and commissioned our production plant in Brotas, Brazil and we expect to continue to defer the SMA project for the near term based on economic considerations and to allow us to focus on operations at our production plant in Brotas, Brazil. We entered into an amendment to the joint venture agreement with SMSA in February 2014

which updates and documents certain preexisting business plan requirements related to the start-up of construction at the plant and sets forth, among other things, (i) the extension of the deadline for the commencement of operations at the joint venture operated plant to no later than 18 months following the construction of the plant, which shall occur no later than March 31, 2017, and (ii) the extension of an option held by SMSA to build a second large-scale farnesene production facility to no later than December 31, 2018 with the commencement of operations at such second facility to occur no later than April 1, 2019. While SMSA was obligated to contribute up to approximately R$61.8 million (approximately US$26.4 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013) to the construction of the original plant, such contributions depended on, among other things, successful commencement of operations at the plant. Notwithstanding the February 2014 amendment to the joint venture agreement, based on our shifting manufacturing priorities and uncertainty regarding financing availability, we cannot currently predict exactly when or if our facility at SMSA will be completed or commence commercial operations, which means that SMSA's anticipated contribution will continue to be delayed and may never occur. SMSA holds rights with respect to the termination and acquisition of our interests in SMA. For instance, if Amyris Brasil becomes controlled, directly or indirectly, by a competitor of SMSA, then SMSA has the right to acquire our interest in the joint venture and if SMSA becomes controlled, directly or indirectly, by a competitor of ours, then we have the right to sell our interest in the joint venture to SMSA. In either case, the purchase price is to be determined in accordance with the joint venture agreements, as amended, and we would continue to have the obligation to acquire products produced by the joint venture for the remainder of the term of the supply agreement then in effect even though we might no longer be involved in the joint venture's management.

If we are ultimately successful in establishing the plant at SMSA, the agreements governing the joint venture subject us to terms that may not be favorable to us under certain conditions. For example, we are required to purchase the output of the joint venture for the first four years at a price that guarantees the return of SMSA's investment plus a fixed surcharge rate. We may not be able to sell the output at a price that allows us to achieve anticipated, or any, level of profitability on the product we acquire under these terms. Similarly, the return that we are required to provide the joint venture for products after the first four years may have an adverse effect on the profitability we achieve from acquiring the mill's output. Additionally, we are required to purchase the output of the joint venture regardless of whether we have a customer for such output, and our results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected if we are unable to sell the output that we are required to purchase.

Loss or termination of contract manufacturing relationships could harm our ability to meet our production goals.

As we have focused on building and commissioning our own plant and improving our production economics, we have reduced our use of contract manufacturing and have terminated relationships with some of our contract manufacturing partners. The failure to have multiple available supply options for farnesene could create a risk for us if a single source or a limited number of sources of manufacturing runs into operational issues. In addition, if we are unable to secure the services of contract manufacturers when and as needed, we may lose customer opportunities and the growth of our business may be impaired. We cannot be sure that contract manufacturers will be available when we need their services, that they will be willing to dedicate a portion of their capacity to our projects, or that we will be able to reach acceptable price and other terms with them for the provision of their production services. If we shift priorities and adjust anticipated production levels (or cease production altogether) at contract manufacturing facilities, such adjustments or cessations could also result in disputes or otherwise harm our business relationships with contract manufacturers. In addition, reducing or stopping production at one facility while increasing or starting up production at another facility generally results in significant losses of production efficiency, which can persist for significant periods of time. Also, in order for production to commence under our contract manufacturing arrangements, we generally must provide equipment, and we cannot be assured that such equipment can be ordered or installed on a timely basis, at acceptable costs, or at all. Further, in order to establish new manufacturing facilities, we need to transfer our yeast strains and production processes from lab to commercial plants controlled by third parties, which may pose technical or operational challenges that delay production or increase our costs.

Our use of contract manufacturers exposes us to risks relating to costs, contractual terms and logistics .

While we have commenced commercial production at the Brotas, Brazil plant, we continue to commercially produce, process and manufacture some specialty molecules through the use of contract manufacturers, and we anticipate that we will continue to use contract manufacturers for the foreseeable future for chemical conversion and production of end-products and, to mitigate cost and volume risks at our large-scale production facilities, for production of Biofene and other fermentation target compounds. Establishing and operating contract manufacturing facilities requires us to make significant capital expenditures, which reduces our cash and places such capital at risk. For example, based on an evaluation of our assets associated with contract manufacturing facilities and anticipated levels of use of such facilities, we recorded a loss on purchase commitments and write off of production assets of approximately $9.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2013. Also, contract manufacturing agreements contain terms that commit us to pay for capital expenditures and other costs incurred or expected to be earned by the plant operators and owners, which can result in contractual liability and losses for us even if we terminate a particular contract manufacturing arrangement or decide to reduce or stop production under such an arrangement. For example, in June 2013, we entered into a termination agreement

16



with a contract manufacturer that required us to make payments totaling $8.8 million in 2013, of which $3.6 million was to satisfy outstanding obligations and $5.2 million was in lieu of additional payments otherwise owed.

The locations of contract manufacturers can pose additional cost, logistics and feedstock challenges. If production capacity is available at a plant that is remote from usable chemical finishing or distribution facilities, or from customers, we will be required to incur additional expenses in shipping products to other locations. Such costs could include shipping costs, compliance with export and import controls, tariffs and additional taxes, among others. In addition, we may be required to use feedstock from a particular region for a given production facility. The feedstock available in a particular region may not be the least expensive or most effective feedstock for production, which could significantly raise our overall production cost o reduce our product's quality until we are able to optimize the supply chain.

If we are unable to reduce our production costs, we may not be able to produce our products at competitive prices and our ability to grow our business will be limited.

Currently, our costs of production are not low enough to allow us to offer many of our planned products at competitive prices relative to alternatives available in the market. Our production costs depend on many factors that could have a negative effect on our ability to offer our planned products at competitive prices, including, in particular, our ability to establish and maintain sufficient production scale and volume, and feedstock cost. For example, see "We have limited experience producing our products and commercial scale and may not be able to commercialize our products to the extent necessary to sustain and grow our current business," "Our manufacturing operations require sugar feedstock, and the ability to obtain such feedstock in sufficient quantities or in a timely manner, or at reasonable prices, may limit our ability to produce products profitably or at all," and "The price of sugarcane and other feedstocks can be volatile as a result of changes in industry policy and may increase the cost of production of our products."

We face financial risk associated with scaling up production to reduce our production costs. To reduce per-unit production costs, we must increase production to achieve economies of scale and to be able to sell our products with positive margins. However, if we do not sell production output in a timely manner or in sufficient volumes, our investment in production will harm our cash position and generate losses. Additionally, we may incur added costs in storage and we may face issues related to the decrease in quality of our stored products, which could adversely affect the value of such products. Since achieving competitive product prices generally requires increased production volumes and our manufacturing operations and cash flows from sales are in their early stages, we have had to produce and sell products at a loss in the past, and expect to continue to do so as we build our business. If we are unable to achieve adequate revenues from a combination of product sales and other sources, we may not be able to invest in production and we may not be able to pursue our business plans.

Key factors beyond production scale and feedstock cost that impact our production costs include yield, productivity, separation efficiency and chemical process efficiency. Yield refers to the amount of the desired molecule that can be produced from a fixed amount of feedstock. Productivity represents the rate at which our product is produced by a given yeast strain. Separation efficiency refers to the amount of desired product produced in the fermentation process that we are able to extract and the time that it takes to do so. Chemical process efficiency refers to the cost and yield for the chemical finishing steps that convert our target molecule into a desired product. In order to successfully enter transportation fuels and certain chemical markets, we must produce those products at significantly lower costs, which will require both substantially higher yields than we have achieved to date and other significant improvements in production efficiency, including in productivity and in separation and chemical process efficiencies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to make these improvements or reduce our production costs sufficiently to offer our planned products at competitive prices, and any such failure could have a material adverse impact on our business and prospects.


17



Our ability to establish substantial commercial sales of our products is subject to many risks, any of which could prevent or delay revenue growth and adversely impact our customer relationships, business and results of operations.

There can be no assurance that our products will be approved or accepted by customers, that customers will choose our products over competing products, or that we will be able to sell our products profitably at prices and with features sufficient to establish demand. The markets we have entered first are primarily those for specialty chemical products used by large consumer products or specialty chemical companies. In entering these markets, we have sold and we intend to sell our products as alternatives to chemicals currently in use, and in some cases the chemicals that we seek to replace have been used for many years. The potential customers for our molecules generally have well developed manufacturing processes and arrangements with suppliers of the chemical components of their products and may have a resistance to changing these processes and components. These potential customers frequently impose lengthy and complex product qualification procedures on their suppliers, influenced by consumer preference, manufacturing considerations such as process changes and capital and other costs associated with transitioning to alternative components, supplier operating history, established business relationships, regulatory issues, product liability and other factors, many of which are unknown to, or not well understood by, us. Satisfying these processes may take many months or years. If we are unable to convince these potential customers (and the consumers who purchase products containing such chemicals) that our products are comparable to the chemicals that they currently use or that the use of our products is otherwise to their benefits, we will not be successful in entering these markets and our business will be adversely affected.

In order for our diesel fuel or jet fuel to be accepted in various countries around the world, a significant number of diesel engine and jet engine manufacturers or operators of large trucking or jet fleets, as the case may be, must determine that the use of our fuels in their equipment will not invalidate product warranties and that they otherwise regard our diesel fuel or jet fuel as an acceptable fuel so that our diesel will have an appropriately large and accessible addressable market. In addition, we must successfully demonstrate to these manufacturers that our fuel does not degrade the performance or reduce the life cycle of their engines or cause them to fail to meet applicable emissions standards. These certification processes include fuel analysis modeling and the testing of engines and their components to ensure that the use of our diesel fuel or jet fuel does not degrade performance or reduce the lifecycle of the engine or cause them to fail to meet applicable emissions standards.

Additionally, we may be subject to product safety testing and may be required to meet certain product safety standards. Meeting these suitability or safety standards can be a time consuming and expensive process, and we may invest substantial time and resources into such qualification efforts without ultimately securing approval. To date, our diesel fuel has achieved limited approvals from certain engine manufacturers, but we cannot be assured that other engine or vehicle manufacturers or fleet operators, will approve usage of our fuels. To distribute our diesel fuel, we must also meet requirements imposed by pipeline operators and fuel distributors. If these operators impose volume limitations on the transport of our fuels, our ability to sell our fuels may be impaired. Our ability to sell a jet fuel product is subject to similar types of qualification requirements as diesel (although the jet fuel qualification process is generally more rigorous, time consuming and expensive than for diesel).

Our ability to enter the fuels market is also dependent upon our ability to continue to achieve the required regulatory approvals in the global markets in which we will seek to sell our fuel products. These approvals primarily involve clearance by the relevant environmental agencies in the particular jurisdiction and are described below under the risk factors, "Our use of genetically-modified feedstocks and yeast strains to produce our products subjects us to risks of regulatory limitations and rejection of our products," "We may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for the sale of our renewable products," and "We may incur significant costs complying with environmental laws and regulations, and failure to comply with these laws and regulations could expose us to significant liabilities."

We expect to face competition for our specialty chemical and transportation fuels products from providers of petroleum-based products and from other companies seeking to provide alternatives to these products, and if we cannot compete effectively against these companies or products we may not be successful in bringing our products to market or further growing our business after we do so.

We expect that our renewable products will compete with both the traditional, largely petroleum-based specialty chemical and fuels products that are currently being used in our target markets and with the alternatives to these existing products that established enterprises and new companies are seeking to produce.

In the specialty chemical markets that we are initially seeking to enter, and in other chemical markets that we may seek to enter in the future, we will compete primarily with the established providers of chemicals currently used in products in these markets. Producers of these incumbent products include global oil companies, large international chemical companies and companies specializing in specific products, such as squalane or essential oils. We may also compete in one or more of these markets with products that are offered as alternatives to the traditional petroleum-based or other traditional products being offered in these markets.

18




In the transportation fuels market, we expect to compete with independent and integrated oil refiners, advanced biofuels companies and biodiesel companies. Refiners compete with us by selling traditional fuel products and some are also pursuing hydrocarbon fuel production using non-renewable feedstocks, such as natural gas and coal, as well as processes using renewable feedstocks, such as vegetable oil and biomass. We also expect to compete with companies that are developing the capacity to produce diesel and other transportation fuels from renewable resources in other ways. These include advanced biofuels companies using specific enzymes that they have developed to convert cellulosic biomass, which is non-food plant material such as wood chips, corn stalks and sugarcane bagasse, into fermentable sugars. Similar to us, some companies are seeking to use engineered enzymes to convert sugars, in some cases from cellulosic biomass and in others from natural sugar sources, into renewable diesel and other fuels. Biodiesel companies convert vegetable oils and animal oils into diesel fuel and some are seeking to produce diesel and other transportation fuels using thermochemical methods to convert biomass into renewable fuels.

With the emergence of many new companies seeking to produce chemicals and fuels from alternative sources, we may face increasing competition from alternative fuels and chemicals companies. As they emerge, some of these companies may be able to establish production capacity and commercial partnerships to compete with us. If we are unable to establish production and sales channels that allow us to offer comparable products at attractive prices, we may not be able to compete effectively with these companies.

We believe the primary competitive factors in both the chemicals and fuels markets are:

product price;

product performance and other measures of quality;

infrastructure compatibility of products;

sustainability; and

dependability of supply.

The oil companies, large chemical companies and well-established agricultural products companies with whom we compete are much larger than us, have, in many cases, well developed distribution systems and networks for their products, have valuable historical relationships with the potential customers we are seeking to serve and have much more extensive sales and marketing programs in place to promote their products. In order to be successful, we must convince customers that our products are at least as effective as the traditional products they are seeking to replace and we must provide our products on a cost-competitive basis with these traditional products and other available alternatives. Some of our competitors may use their influence to impede the development and acceptance of renewable products of the type that we are seeking to produce.

We believe that for our chemical products to succeed in the market, we must demonstrate that our products are comparable alternatives to existing products and to any alternative products that are being developed for the same markets based on some combination of product cost, availability, performance, and consumer preference characteristics. With respect to our diesel and other transportation fuels products, we believe that our product must perform as effectively as petroleum-based fuel, or alternative fuels, and be available on a cost-competitive basis. In addition, with the wide range of renewable fuels products under development, we must be successful in reaching potential customers and convincing them that ours are effective and reliable alternatives.

Our relationship with our strategic partner, Total, has a substantial impact on our company.

We have a license, development, research and collaboration agreement with Total, under which we may develop, produce and commercialize products with Total. Under this agreement, Total has a right of first negotiation with us with respect to exclusive commercialization arrangements that we would propose to enter into with third parties, as well as the right to purchase any of our products on terms not less favorable than those offered to or received by us from third parties in any market where Total or its affiliates have a significant market position. These rights might inhibit potential strategic partners or potential customers from entering into negotiations with us about future business opportunities. Total also has the right to terminate this agreement if we undergo a sale or change of control to certain entities, which could discourage a potential acquirer from making an offer to acquire us.

In other agreements with Total related to their original investment in our capital stock, for as long as Total owns 10% of our voting securities, it has rights to an exclusive negotiation period if our Board of Directors decides to sell our company. Total also has the right to designate one director to serve on our Board of Directors. Also, in connection with Total’s investments, our certificate

19



of incorporation includes a provision that excludes Total from prohibitions on business combinations between Amyris and an “interested stockholder.” These provisions could have the effect of discouraging potential acquirers from making offers to acquire us, and give Total more access to the Company than other stockholders if Total decides to pursue an acquisition.

Additionally, in connection with subsequent investments by Total, we granted Total, among other investors, a right of first investment if we propose to sell securities in a private placement financing transaction. With these rights, Total and other investors may subscribe for a portion of any new financing and require us to comply with certain notice periods, which could discourage other investors from participating, or cause delays, in our ability to close such a financing. Until June 30, 2014, Total also has a right to cancel up to approximately $9.8 million in convertible promissory notes previously issued to Total to exercise certain pro rata rights. To the extent Total exercises this right, it will reduce the cash proceeds we may realize from the relevant financing. Under agreements signed in July 2012, Total previously had the right to cancel up to $30.0 million of such convertible promissory notes, but has since, in financings that closed in December 2012, October 2013, December 2013 and January 2014, used approximately $20.2 million of such $30.0 million.

Our joint venture with Total limits our ability to independently develop and commercialize Biofene-based diesel and jet fuels.

In July 2012 and December 2013, we entered into a series of agreements to establish a research and development program and form a joint venture to produce and commercialize Biofene-based diesel and jet fuels. With an exception for our fuels business in Brazil, the collaboration and joint venture establish the exclusive means for us to develop, produce and commercialize fuels from Biofene. We granted the joint venture exclusive licenses under certain of our intellectual property to make and sell joint venture products. We also granted the joint venture, in the event of a buy-out of our interest in the joint venture by Total (which Total is entitled to do under certain circumstances described below) a non-exclusive license to optimize or engineer yeast strains used by us to produce farnesene for the joint venture’s diesel and jet fuels. As a result of these licenses, Amyris generally no longer has an independent right to make or sell Biofene fuels outside of Brazil. If, for any reason, the joint venture is not fully supported or is not successful and the joint venture does not allow us to pursue Biofene-based fuels independently, this joint venture arrangement could impair our ability to develop and commercialize such fuels, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and long term prospects. For example, these arrangements could adversely affect our ability to enter or expand in these markets on terms that would otherwise be more favorable to us independently or with third parties.

In addition to granting the joint venture exclusive licenses, we also agreed that, if we encounter certain financial hardship situations, such as bankruptcy, insolvency and debt defaults, or upon a change of control of Amyris, Total has a right to buy out our interest in the joint venture at fair market value. The agreements also provide Total with a right to buy out our interest in the joint venture in the event of a “deadlock” in negotiating agreements to establish an operational fuels joint venture following a decision to proceed with the next phase of the joint venture. In a situation where Total buys out our interest in the joint venture, it also has rights to buy our Brazil fuels business at fair market value. If Total were to exercise these rights, we would, in effect, relinquish rights to intellectual property exclusively licensed to the joint venture, and our ability to seek future revenue from Biofene in the fuels market would be adversely affected (or completely prevented). This could significantly reduce the value of our product offerings, and have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business in future years.

Total’s collaboration funding is in the form of convertible promissory notes.

Our agreements with Total relating to our fuels collaboration created a convertible debt financing structure for funding the research and development program. The collaboration agreements contemplated approximately $105.0 million in financing for the collaboration, of which Total has funded $83.3 million to date. Total is expected to fund up to the remaining $21.7 million, with $10.85 million to be paid by July 2014 and $10.85 million to be paid by January 2015. If Total chooses not to continue participating at certain "Go/No-Go" decision points during the program, licenses to our technology would terminate, and the notes would remain outstanding and become payable at maturity unless otherwise converted in accordance with their terms. If Total chooses to continue the collaboration and makes a final decision to proceed with the operational fuels joint venture, Total is required to buy from Amyris 50% of the preferred shares (all of which are currently held by Amyris) of a related joint venture in exchange for full settlement of principal and interest outstanding under the notes. If Total chooses to continue the collaboration and makes a final decision to proceed with the joint venture only for jet fuel, Total is required to buy from Amyris 50% of the preferred shares of the joint venture in exchanges for the settlement of 30% of the principal and interest outstanding under the notes. The remaining notes would continue to be outstanding and payable upon maturity unless otherwise converted in accordance with the terms of the notes.

We cannot be certain that Total will choose to continue funding the program or ultimately opt to participate in an operational fuels joint venture. If Total were to decide not to participate further in the collaboration or not to proceed with the operational fuels joint venture, it would not be obligated to fund any further amounts (which would reduce our anticipated near-term collaboration revenues), and, as noted above, the outstanding notes representing amounts paid by Total to date would remain outstanding and

20



become payable or convertible into our common stock. If Total chooses to demand repayment of amounts funded under the notes following such a decision (or a portion of such notes based on a jet fuel-only decision), we may not be able to satisfy our obligations to repay the notes by the maturity date in March 2017, which could lead to defaults and our insolvency, and Total and other creditors could pursue collections claims against us. If the notes become convertible and Total chooses to convert them, the resulting issuance of common stock would be dilutive to other stockholders.

If we do not meet technical, development and commercial milestones in our collaboration agreements, our future revenue and financial results will be adversely impacted.

We have entered into a number of agreements regarding the further development of certain of our products and, in some cases, for ultimate sale of certain products to the customer under the agreement. None of these agreements affirmatively obligates the other party to purchase specific quantities of any products at this time, and most contain important conditions that must be satisfied before additional research and development funding or product purchases would occur. These conditions include research and development milestones and technical specifications that must be achieved to the satisfaction of our collaborators, which we cannot be certain we will achieve. If we do not achieve these contractual milestones, our revenues and financial results will be adversely affected.

We are subject to risks related to our reliance on collaboration arrangements to fund development and commercialization of our products.

For most product markets we are trying to address, we either have or are seeking collaboration partners to fund the research and development, commercialization and production efforts required for the target products. Typically we provide limited exclusive rights and revenue sharing with respect to the production and sale of particular types of products in specific markets in exchange for such up-front funding. These exclusivity, revenue-sharing and other similar terms limit our ability to commercialize our products and technology, and may impact the size of our business or our profitability in ways that we do not currently envision. In addition, revenues from these types of relationships are a key part of our cash plan for 2014 and beyond. If we fail to collect expected collaboration revenues, or to identify and add sufficient additional collaborations to fund our planned operations, we may be unable to fund our operations or pursue development and commercialization of our planned products. To achieve our collaboration revenue targets from year to year, we may be forced to enter into agreements that contain less favorable terms, including broader exclusivity provisions for commercial partners and a smaller financial stake in any successful ventures resulting from collaborations.

Our manufacturing operations require sugar feedstock, and the inability to obtain such feedstock in sufficient quantities or in a timely manner, or at reasonable prices, may limit our ability to produce our products profitably, or at all.

We anticipate that the production of our products will require large volumes of feedstock. We have relied on a mixture of feedstock sources for use at our contract manufacturing operations, including cane sugar, corn-based dextrose and beet molasses. For our large-scale production facilities in Brazil, we are relying primarily on Brazilian sugarcane. We cannot predict the future availability or price of these various feedstocks, nor can we be sure that our mill partners, which we expect to supply the sugarcane feedstock necessary to produce our products in Brazil, will be able to supply it in sufficient quantities or in a timely manner. Furthermore, to the extent we are required to rely on sugar feedstock other than Brazilian sugarcane, the cost of such feedstock may be higher than we expect, increasing our anticipated production costs. Feedstock crop yields and sugar content depend on weather conditions, such as rainfall and temperature. Weather conditions have historically caused volatility in the ethanol and sugar industries by causing crop failures or reduced harvests. Excessive rainfall can adversely affect the supply of sugarcane and other sugar feedstock available for the production of our products by reducing the sucrose content and limiting growers' ability to harvest. Crop disease and pestilence can also occur from time to time and can adversely affect feedstock growth, potentially rendering useless or unusable all or a substantial portion of affected harvests. With respect to sugarcane, our initial primary feedstock, seasonal availability and price, the limited amount of time during which it keeps its sugar content after harvest, and the fact that sugarcane is not itself a traded commodity, increases these risks and limits our ability to substitute supply in the event of such an occurrence. If production of sugarcane or any other feedstock we may use to produce our products is adversely affected by these or other conditions, our production will be impaired, and our business will be adversely affected.

The price of sugarcane and other feedstocks can be volatile as a result of changes in industry policy and may increase the cost of production of our products.

In Brazil, Conselho dos Produtores de Cana, Açúcar e Álcool (Council of Sugarcane, Sugar and Ethanol Producers), or Consecana, an industry association of producers of sugarcane, sugar and ethanol, sets market terms and prices for general supply, lease and partnership agreements for sugarcane. If Consecana makes changes to such terms and prices, this could result in higher sugarcane prices and/or a significant decrease in the volume of sugarcane available for the production of our products. Furthermore,

21



if Consecana were to cease to be involved in this process, such prices and terms could become more volatile. Similar principles apply to pricing of other feedstocks as well. Any of these events could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our large-scale commercial production capacity is centered in Brazil, and our business will be adversely affected if we do not operate effectively in that country.

For the foreseeable future, we will be subject to risks associated with the concentration of essential product sourcing and operations in Brazil. The Brazilian government has changed in the past, and may change in the future, monetary, taxation, credit, tariff and other policies to influence the course of Brazil's economy. For example, the government's actions to control inflation have at times involved setting wage and price controls, adjusting interest rates, imposing taxes and exchange controls and limiting imports into Brazil. We have no control over, and cannot predict, what policies or actions the Brazilian government may take in the future. Our business, financial performance and prospects may be adversely affected by, among others, the following factors:

delays or failures in securing licenses, permits or other governmental approvals necessary to build and operate facilities and use our yeast strains to produce products;

rapid consolidation in the sugar and ethanol industries in Brazil, which could result in a decrease in competition;

political, economic, diplomatic or social instability in or affecting Brazil;

changing interest rates;

tax burden and policies;

effects of changes in currency exchange rates;

exchange controls and restrictions on remittances abroad;

inflation;

land reform movements;

changes in labor related policies;

export or import restrictions that limit our ability to move our products out of Brazil or interfere with the import of essential materials into Brazil;

changes in, or interpretations of foreign regulations that may adversely affect our ability to sell our products or repatriate profits to the United States;

tariffs, trade protection measures and other regulatory requirements;

successful compliance with United States and foreign laws that regulate the conduct of business abroad;

an inability, or reduced ability, to protect our intellectual property in Brazil including any effect of compulsory licensing imposed by government action; and

difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations. 

We cannot predict whether the current or future Brazilian government will implement changes to existing policies on taxation, exchange controls, monetary strategy, labor relations, social security and the like, nor can we estimate the impact of any such changes on the Brazilian economy or our operations.

Our international operations expose us to the risk of fluctuation in currency exchange rates and rates of foreign inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

We currently incur significant costs and expenses in Brazilian real and may in the future incur additional expenses in foreign currencies and derive a portion of our revenues in the local currencies of customers throughout the world. As a result, our revenues and results of operations are subject to foreign exchange fluctuations, which we may not be able to manage successfully. During

22



the past few decades, the Brazilian currency in particular has faced frequent and substantial exchange rate fluctuations in relation to the United States dollar and other foreign currencies. There can be no assurance that the Brazilian real will not significantly appreciate or depreciate against the United States dollar in the future. We also bear the risk that the rate of inflation in the foreign countries where we incur costs and expenses or the decline in value of the United States dollar compared to those foreign currencies will increase our costs as expressed in United States dollars. For example, future measures by the Central Bank of Brazil to control inflation, including interest rate adjustments, intervention in the foreign exchange market and actions to fix the value of the real, may weaken the United States dollar in Brazil. Whether in Brazil or otherwise, we may not be able to adjust the prices of our products to offset the effects of inflation or foreign currency appreciation on our cost structure, which could increase our costs and reduce our net operating margins. If we do not successfully manage these risks through hedging or other mechanisms, our revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our use of genetically-modified feedstocks and yeast strains to produce our products subjects us to risks of regulatory limitations and rejection of our products.

The use of GMMs, such as our yeast strains, is subject to laws and regulations in many countries, some of which are new and some of which are still evolving. Public attitudes about the safety and environmental hazards of, and ethical concerns over, genetic research and GMMs could influence public acceptance of our technology and products. In the United States, the EPA, regulates the commercial use of GMMs as well as potential products produced from the GMMs. Various states or local governments within the United States could choose to regulate products made with GMMs as well. While the strain of genetically modified yeast that we currently use for the development and anticipate using for the commercial production of our target molecules, S. cerevisiae , is eligible for exemption from EPA review because it is recognized as posing a low risk, we must satisfy certain criteria to achieve this exemption, including but not limited to use of compliant containment structures and safety procedures, and we cannot be sure that we will meet such criteria in a timely manner, or at all. If exemption of S. cerevisiae is not obtained, our business may be substantially harmed. In addition to S. cerevisiae , we may seek to use different GMMs in the future that will require EPA approval. If approval of different GMMs is not secured, our ability to grow our business could be adversely affected.

In Brazil, GMMs are regulated by CTNBio. We have obtained approval from CTNBio to use GMMs in a contained environment in our Campinas facilities for research and development purposes as well as at a contract manufacturing facility in Brazil. In addition, we have obtained initial commercial approval from CTNBio for one of our current yeast strains. As we continue to develop new yeast strains and deploy our technology at new production facilities in Brazil, we will be required to obtain further approvals from CTNBio in order to use these strains in commercial production in Brazil. We may not be able to obtain approvals from relevant Brazilian authorities on a timely basis, or at all, and if we do not, our ability to produce our products in Brazil would be impaired, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

In addition to our production operations in the United States and Brazil, we have been party to contract manufacturing agreements with parties in other production locations around the world, including Europe. The use of GMM technology is strictly regulated in the European Union, which has established various directives for member states regarding regulation of the use of such technology, including notification processes for contained use of such technology. We expect to encounter GMM regulations in most, if not all, of the countries in which we may seek to establish production capabilities and/or conduct sales to customers or end-use consumers, and the scope and nature of these regulations will likely be different from country to country. If we cannot meet the applicable requirements in other countries in which we intend to produce products using our yeast strains, or if it takes longer than anticipated to obtain such approvals, our business could be adversely affected.

We may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for the sale of our renewable products.

Our renewable chemical products may be subject to government regulation in our target markets. In the United States, the EPA administers the TSCA, which regulates the commercial registration, distribution, and use of many chemicals. Before an entity can manufacture or distribute significant volumes of a chemical, it needs to determine whether that chemical is listed in the TSCA inventory. If the substance is listed, then manufacture or distribution can commence immediately. If not, then in most cases a “Chemical Abstracts Service” number registration and pre-manufacture notice must be filed with the EPA, which has up to 180 days to review the filing. Some of the products we produce or plan to produce, such as farnesene (i.e., Biofene), farnesane (in diesel and new jet fuel applications) and squalane, are already in the TSCA inventory. We may not be able to expediently receive approval from the EPA to list future molecules we would like to make on the TSCA registry, resulting in delays or significant increases in testing requirements. A similar program exists in the European Union, called REACH. Under this program, we need to register our new products with the European Commission, and this process could cause delays or significant costs. To the extent that other geographies, such as Brazil, may rely on TSCA or REACH (or similar laws and programs) for chemical registration in their geographies, delays with the United States or European authorities may subsequently delay entry into these markets as well.

Our diesel and jet fuel is subject to regulation by various government agencies, including the EPA, CARB and ANP. To date, we have obtained registration with the EPA for the use of our diesel fuel in the United States. at a 35% blend rate with petroleum diesel. In addition, ANP has authorized the use our diesel fuel at blend rates of 10% and 30% for specific transportation fleets. In Europe, we obtained REACH registration for importing/manufacturing up to 1,000 metric tons of our diesel fuel per year and are pursuing data validation for greater volumes. Registration with each of these bodies is required for the sale and use of our fuels within their respective jurisdictions. Jet fuel (aviation turbine fuel) validation and specifications are subject to the ASTM International industry consensus process and the Brazilian ANP national adoption process.  Our jet fuel must be validated and supported by an applicable ASTM aviation turbine fuel standard. Any failure to achieve required validation and certifications for our jet fuel could impair or delay our plans to introduce a jet fuel product in 2014, which would have a material adverse impact on our renewable product revenues for the year. In addition, for us to achieve full access to the United States fuels market for our fuel products, we will need to obtain EPA and CARB (and potentially other state agencies) certifications for our feedstock pathway and production facilities, including certification of a feedstock lifecycle analysis relating to greenhouse gas emissions. Any delay in obtaining these additional certifications could impair our ability to sell our renewable fuels to refiners, importers, blenders and other parties that produce transportation fuels as they comply with federal and state requirements to include certified renewable fuels in their products.

We expect to encounter regulations in most, if not all, of the countries in which we may seek to sell our renewable chemical and fuel products (and our customers may encounter similar regulations in selling end use products o consumers), and we cannot assure you that we (or our customers) will be able to obtain necessary approvals in a timely manner or at all. If our chemical and fuel products do not meet applicable regulatory requirements in a particular country or at all, then we (or our customers) may not be able to commercialize our products and our business will be adversely affected.

 
Changes in government regulations, including subsidies and economic incentives, could have a material adverse effect upon our business.

The market for renewable fuels is heavily influenced by foreign, federal, state and local government regulations and policies. Changes to existing or adoption of new domestic or foreign federal, state and local legislative initiatives that impact the production, distribution or sale of renewable fuels may harm our renewable fuels business. In the United States and in a number of other countries, regulations and policies encouraging production and use of alternative fuels have been modified in the past and may be modified again in the future. Any reduction in mandated requirements for fuel alternatives and additives to gasoline or diesel may cause demand for biofuels to decline and deter investment in the research and development of renewable fuels. The market uncertainty regarding this and future standards and policies may also affect our ability to develop new renewable products or to license our technologies to third parties and to sell products to our end customers. Any inability to address these requirements and any regulatory or policy changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Concerns associated with renewable fuels, including land usage, national security interests and food crop usage, continue to receive legislative, industry and public attention. This attention could result in future legislation, regulation and/or administrative action that could adversely affect our business. Any inability to address these requirements and any regulatory or policy changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, the production of our products will depend on the availability of feedstock, especially sugarcane. Agricultural production and trade flows are subject to government policies and regulations. Governmental policies affecting the agricultural industry, such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies, incentives and import and export restrictions on agricultural commodities and commodity products, can influence the planting of certain crops, the location and size of crop production, whether unprocessed or processed commodity products are traded, the volume and types of imports and exports, and the availability and competitiveness of feedstocks as raw materials. Future government policies may adversely affect the supply of feedstocks, restrict our ability to use sugarcane or other feedstocks to produce our products, and negatively impact our future revenues and results of operations or could encourage the use of feedstocks more advantageous to our competitors which would put us at a commercial disadvantage.

We may incur significant costs complying with environmental laws and regulations, and failure to comply with these laws and regulations could expose us to significant liabilities.

We use hazardous chemicals and radioactive and biological materials in our business and such materials are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, generation, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of these materials both in the United States and overseas. Although we have implemented safety procedures for handling and disposing of these materials and related waste products in an effort to comply with these laws and regulations, we cannot be sure that our safety measures will prevent accidental injury or contamination from the use, storage, handling or disposal of hazardous materials. In the event of contamination or injury, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed our insurance coverage. There can be no assurance that violations of environmental, health and safety laws will not occur in the future as a result of human error, accident, equipment failure or other causes. Compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations may be expensive, and the failure to comply with past, present, or future laws could result in the imposition of fines, third party property damage, product liability and personal injury claims, investigation and remediation costs, the suspension of production, or a cessation of operations, and our liability may exceed our total assets. Liability under environmental laws can be joint and several, without regard to comparative fault and may be punitive in nature. Environmental laws could become more stringent over time, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with violations, which could impair our research, development or production efforts and harm our business.

A decline in the price of petroleum and petroleum-based products may reduce demand for many of our renewable products and may otherwise adversely affect our business.

We anticipate that most of our renewable products, and in particular our fuels, will be marketed as alternatives to corresponding petroleum-based products. If the price of oil falls, we may be unable to produce products that are cost-effective alternatives to petroleum-based products. Declining oil prices, or the perception of a future decline in oil prices, may adversely affect the prices we can obtain from our potential customers or prevent potential customers from entering into agreements with us to buy our products. During sustained periods of lower oil prices we may be unable to sell some of our products, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results.

Our financial results could vary significantly from quarter to quarter and are difficult to predict.

Our revenues and results of operations could vary significantly from quarter to quarter because of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result, comparing our results of operations on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. Factors that could cause our quarterly results of operations to fluctuate include:

achievement, or failure, with respect to technology, product development or manufacturing milestones needed to allow us to enter identified markets on a cost effective basis;

delays or greater than anticipated expenses associated with the completion or commissioning of new production facilities, or the time to ramp up and stabilize production following completion of a new production facility;

impairment of assets based on shifting business priorities and working capital limitations;

disruptions in the production process at any manufacturing facility;

losses associated with producing our products as we ramp to commercial production levels;

failure to recover value added tax (or VAT) that we currently reflect as recoverable in our financial statements (e.g., due to failure to meet conditions for reimbursement of VAT under local law);

the timing, size and mix of sales to customers for our products;

increases in price or decreases in availability of feedstock;

the unavailability of contract manufacturing capacity altogether or at reasonable cost;

exit costs associated with terminating contract manufacturing relationships;

fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;


25



gains or losses associated with our hedging activities;

change in the fair value of derivative instruments;

fluctuations in the price of and demand for sugar, ethanol, and petroleum-based and other products for which our products are alternatives;

seasonal variability in production and sales of our products;

competitive pricing pressures, including decreases in average selling prices of our products;

unanticipated expenses associated with changes in governmental regulations and environmental, health, labor and safety requirements;

reductions or changes to existing fuel and chemical regulations and policies;

departure of executives or other key management employees resulting in transition and severance costs;

our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income;

business interruptions such as earthquakes and other natural disasters;

our ability to integrate businesses that we may acquire;

our ability to successfully collaborate with business venture partners;

risks associated with the international aspects of our business; and

changes in general economic, industry and market conditions, both domestically and in our foreign markets.

As part of our operating plan for 2014, we are planning to keep our expenditures to be relatively consistent with prior year.

Due to the factors described above, among others, the results of any quarterly or annual period may not meet our expectations or the expectations of our investors and may not be meaningful indications of our future performance.

Loss of key personnel, including key management personnel, and/or failure to attract and retain additional personnel could delay our product development programs and harm our research and development efforts and our ability to meet our business objectives.

Our business involves complex, global operations across a variety of markets and requires a management team and employee workforce that is knowledgeable in the many areas in which we operate. As we continue to build our business, we will need to hire and retain qualified research and development, management and other personnel to succeed. The process of hiring, training and successfully integrating qualified personnel into our operations, in both the United States and Brazil, is a lengthy and expensive one. The market for qualified personnel is very competitive because of the limited number of people available with the necessary technical skills and understanding of our technology and anticipated products, particularly in Brazil. Our failure to hire and retain qualified personnel could impair our ability to meet our research and development and business objectives and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The loss of any key member of our management or key technical and operational employees, or the failure to attract or retain such employees could prevent us from developing and commercializing our products for our target markets and executing our business strategy. We also may not be able to attract or retain qualified employees in the future due to the intense competition for qualified personnel among biotechnology and other technology-based businesses, particularly in the renewable chemicals and fuels area, or due to the availability of personnel with the qualifications or experience necessary for our business. In addition, reductions to our workforce as part of cost-saving measures may make it more difficult for us to attract and retain key employees. If we do not maintain the necessary personnel to accomplish our business objectives, we may experience staffing constraints that will adversely affect our ability to meet the demands of our collaborators and customers in a timely fashion or to support our internal research and development programs and operations. In particular, our product and process development programs are dependent on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical and operational personnel. Competition for such personnel

26



from numerous companies and academic and other research institutions may limit our ability to do so on acceptable terms. All of our employees are at-will employees, which means that either the employee or we may terminate their employment at any time.

Growth may place significant demands on our management and our infrastructure.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, expansion of our business as we continue to make efforts to develop and bring our products to market. We have grown from 18 employees at the end of 2005 to 392 at February 28, 2014 . Our growth and diversified operations have placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and our operational and financial infrastructure. In particular, continued growth could strain our ability to:

manage multiple research and development programs;

operate multiple manufacturing facilities around the world;

develop and improve our operational, financial and management controls;

enhance our reporting systems and procedures;

recruit, train and retain highly skilled personnel;

develop and maintain our relationships with existing and potential business partners;

maintain our quality standards; and

maintain customer satisfaction.

Managing our growth will require significant expenditures and allocation of valuable management resources. If we fail to achieve the necessary level of efficiency in our organization as it grows, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely impacted.

Our proprietary rights may not adequately protect our technologies and product candidates.

Our commercial success will depend substantially on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate legal protection for our technologies and product candidates in the United States and other countries. As of February 28, 2014 , we had 248 issued United States and foreign patents and 326 pending United States and foreign patent applications that were owned by or licensed to us. We will be able to protect our proprietary rights from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that our proprietary technologies and future products are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets.

We apply for patents covering both our technologies and product candidates, as we deem appropriate. However, we may fail to apply for patents on important technologies or product candidates in a timely fashion, or at all. Our existing and future patents may not be sufficiently broad to prevent others from practicing our technologies or from developing competing products or technologies. In addition, the patent positions of companies like ours are highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions for which important legal principles remain unresolved. No consistent policy regarding the breadth of patent claims has emerged to date in the United States and the landscape is expected to become even more uncertain in view of recent rule changes by the USPTO, the introduction of patent reform legislation in Congress and recent decisions in patent law cases by the United States Supreme Court. In addition, we obtained certain key United States patents using a procedure for accelerated examination recently implemented by the USPTO which requires special activities and disclosures that may create additional risks related to the validity or enforceability of the United States patents so obtained. The patent situation outside of the United States is even less predictable. As a result, the validity and enforceability of patents cannot be predicted with certainty. Moreover, we cannot be certain whether:

we or our licensors were the first to make the inventions covered by each of our issued patents and pending patent applications;

we or our licensors were the first to file patent applications for these inventions;

others will independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate any of our technologies;

any of our or our licensors' patents will be valid or enforceable;

27




any patents issued to us or our licensors will provide us with any competitive advantages, or will be challenged by third parties;

we will develop additional proprietary products or technologies that are patentable; or

the patents of others will have an adverse effect on our business.

We do not know whether any of our patent applications or those patent applications that we license will result in the issuance of any patents. Even if patents are issued, they may not be sufficient to protect our technology or product candidates. The patents we own or license and those that may be issued in the future may be challenged, invalidated, rendered unenforceable, or circumvented, and the rights granted under any issued patents may not provide us with proprietary protection or competitive advantages. In particular, United States patents we obtained using the USPTO accelerated examination program may introduce additional risks to the validity or enforceability of some or all of these specially-obtained United States patents if validity or enforceability are challenged. Moreover, third parties could practice our inventions in territories where we do not have patent protection or in territories where they could obtain a compulsory license to our technology where patented. Such third parties may then try to import products made using our inventions into the United States or other territories. Additional uncertainty may result from potential passage of patent reform legislation by the United States Congress, legal precedent by the United States Federal Circuit and Supreme Court as they determine legal issues concerning the scope and construction of patent claims and inconsistent interpretation of patent laws by the lower courts. Accordingly, we cannot ensure that any of our pending patent applications will result in issued patents, or even if issued, predict the breadth, validity and enforceability of the claims upheld in our and other companies' patents.

Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology, particularly in certain foreign countries where the local laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States or may provide, today or in the future, for compulsory licenses. If competitors are able to use our technology, our ability to compete effectively could be harmed. Moreover, others may independently develop and obtain patents for technologies that are similar to, or superior to, our technologies. If that happens, we may need to license these technologies, and we may not be able to obtain licenses on reasonable terms, if at all, which could cause harm to our business.

We rely in part on trade secrets to protect our technology, and our failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.

We rely on trade secrets to protect some of our technology, particularly where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to maintain and protect. Our strategy for contract manufacturing and scale-up of commercial production requires us to share confidential information with our international business partners and other parties. Our product development collaborations with third parties, including with Total, require us to share confidential information, including with employees of Total who are seconded to Amyris during the term of the collaboration. While we use reasonable efforts to protect our trade secrets, our or our business partners' employees, consultants, contractors or scientific and other advisors may unintentionally or willfully disclose our proprietary information to competitors. Enforcement of claims that a third party has illegally obtained and is using trade secrets is expensive, time consuming and uncertain. In addition, foreign courts are sometimes less willing than United States courts to protect trade secrets. If our competitors independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how, we would not be able to assert our trade secrets against them.

We require new employees and consultants to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of an employment or consulting arrangement with us. These agreements generally require that all confidential information developed by the individual or made known to the individual by us during the course of the individual's relationship with us be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties. These agreements also generally provide that inventions conceived by the individual in the course of rendering services to us shall be our exclusive property. Nevertheless, our proprietary information may be disclosed, or these agreements may be unenforceable or difficult to enforce. Additionally, trade secret law in Brazil differs from that in the United States which requires us to take a different approach to protecting our trade secrets in Brazil. Some of these approaches to trade secret protection may be novel and untested under Brazilian law and we cannot guarantee that we would prevail if our trade secrets are contested in Brazil. If any of the above risks materializes, our failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.

Third parties may misappropriate our yeast strains.

Third parties, including contract manufacturers, sugar and ethanol mill owners, other contractors and shipping agents, often have custody or control of our yeast strains. If our yeast strains were stolen, misappropriated or reverse engineered, they could be used by other parties who may be able to reproduce the yeast strains for their own commercial gain. If this were to occur, it would be difficult for us to challenge and prevent this type of use, especially in countries where we have limited intellectual property protection or that do not have robust intellectual property law regimes.

If we are sued for infringing intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights of third parties, litigation could be costly and time consuming and could prevent us from developing or commercializing our future products.

Our commercial success depends on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and proprietary rights of other parties and without breaching any agreements we have entered into with regard to our technologies and product candidates. We cannot determine with certainty whether patents or patent applications of other parties may materially affect our ability to conduct our business. Our industry spans several sectors, including biotechnology, renewable fuels, renewable specialty chemicals and other renewable compounds, and is characterized by the existence of a significant number of patents and disputes regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Because patent applications can take several years to issue, there may currently be pending applications, unknown to us, that may result in issued patents that cover our technologies or product candidates. We are aware of a significant number of patents and patent applications relating to aspects of our technologies filed by, and issued to, third parties. The existence of third-party patent applications and patents could significantly reduce the coverage of patents owned by or licensed to us and limit our ability to obtain meaningful patent protection. If we wish to make, use, sell, offer to sell, or import the technology or compound claimed in issued and unexpired patents owned by others, we will need to obtain a license from the owner, enter into litigation to challenge the validity of the patents or incur the risk of litigation in the event that the owner asserts that we infringe its patents. If patents containing competitive or conflicting claims are issued to third parties and these claims are ultimately determined to be valid, we may be enjoined from pursing research, development, or commercialization of products, or be required to obtain licenses to these patents, or to develop or obtain alternative technologies.

If a third-party asserts that we infringe upon its patents or other proprietary rights, we could face a number of issues that could seriously harm our competitive position, including:

infringement and other intellectual property claims, which could be costly and time consuming to litigate, whether or not the claims have merit, and which could delay getting our products to market and divert management attention from our business;

substantial damages for past infringement, which we may have to pay if a court determines that our product candidates or technologies infringe a third party's patent or other proprietary rights;

a court prohibiting us from selling or licensing our technologies or future products unless the holder licenses the patent or other proprietary rights to us, which it is not required to do; and

if a license is available from a third party, such third party may require us to pay substantial royalties or grant cross licenses to our patents or proprietary rights.

The industries in which we operate, and the biotechnology industry in particular, are characterized by frequent and extensive litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. Many biotechnology companies have employed intellectual property litigation as a way to gain a competitive advantage. If any of our competitors have filed patent applications or obtained patents that claim inventions also claimed by us, we may have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the relevant patent regulatory agency to determine priority of invention and, thus, the right to the patents for these inventions in the United States These proceedings could result in substantial cost to us even if the outcome is favorable. Even if successful, an interference proceeding may result in loss of certain claims. Our involvement in litigation, interferences, opposition proceedings or other intellectual property proceedings inside and outside of the United States, to defend our intellectual property rights or as a result of alleged infringement of the rights of others, may divert management time from focusing on business operations and could cause us to spend significant resources, all of which could harm our business and results of operations.

Many of our employees were previously employed at universities, biotechnology, specialty chemical or oil companies, including our competitors or potential competitors. We may be subject to claims that these employees or we have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of their former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If we fail in defending such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel and be enjoined from certain activities. A loss of key research personnel or their work

29



product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize our product candidates, which could severely harm our business. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and demand on management resources.

We may need to commence litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, which would divert resources and management's time and attention and the results of which would be uncertain.

Enforcement of claims that a third party is using our proprietary rights without permission is expensive, time consuming and uncertain. Significant litigation would result in substantial costs, even if the eventual outcome is favorable to us and would divert management's attention from our business objectives. In addition, an adverse outcome in litigation could result in a substantial loss of our proprietary rights and we may lose our ability to exclude others from practicing our technology or producing our product candidates.

The laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in certain foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property protection, particularly those relating to biotechnology and/or bioindustrial technologies. This could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents or misappropriation of our other intellectual property rights. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business. Moreover, our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights in such countries may be inadequate.

Our products subject us to product-safety risks, and we may be sued for product liability.

The design, development, production and sale of our products involve an inherent risk of product liability claims and the associated adverse publicity. Our potential products could be used by a wide variety of consumers with varying levels of sophistication. Although safety is a priority for us, we are not always in control of the final uses and formulations of the products we supply or their use as ingredients. Our products could have detrimental impacts or adverse impacts we cannot anticipate. Despite our efforts, negative publicity about Amyris, including product safety or similar concerns, whether real or perceived, could occur, and our products could face withdrawal, recall or other quality issues. In addition, we may be named directly in product liability suits relating to our products, even for defects resulting from errors of our commercial partners, contract manufacturers or chemical finishers. These claims could be brought by various parties, including customers who are purchasing products directly from us or other users who purchase products from our customers. We could also be named as co-parties in product liability suits that are brought against the contract manufacturers or Brazilian sugar and ethanol mills with whom we partner to produce our products. Insurance coverage is expensive, may be difficult to obtain and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms. We cannot be certain that our contract manufacturers or the sugar and ethanol producers who partner with us to produce our products will have adequate insurance coverage to cover against potential claims. Any insurance we do maintain may not provide adequate coverage against potential losses, and if claims or losses exceed our liability insurance coverage, our business would be adversely impacted. In addition, insurance coverage may become more expensive, which would harm our results of operations.

During the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to lawsuits or indemnity claims, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

From time to time, we may in the ordinary course of business be named as a defendant in lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings. These actions may seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, worker's compensation, employment discrimination, breach of contract, property damages, civil penalties and other losses of injunctive or declaratory relief. In the event that such actions or indemnities are ultimately resolved unfavorably at amounts exceeding our accrued liability, or at material amounts, the outcome could materially and adversely affect our reputation, business and results of operations. In addition, payments of significant amounts, even if reserved, could adversely affect our liquidity position.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we might not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud; in that case, our stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and could negatively impact the price of our stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. In addition, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us and our independent registered public accounting firm to evaluate and report on our internal control over financial reporting. The process of implementing our internal controls and complying with Section 404 is expensive and time consuming, and requires significant attention of management. We cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that we maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. In addition, to the extent we

30



create joint ventures or have any variable interest entities and the financial statements of such entities are not prepared by us, we will not have direct control over their financial statement preparation. As a result, we will, for our financial reporting, depend on what these entities report to us, which could result in us adding monitoring and audit processes and increase the difficulty of implementing and maintaining adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. This may be particularly true where we are establishing such entities with commercial partners that do not have sophisticated financial accounting processes in place, or where we are entering into new relationships at a rapid pace, straining our integration capacity. Additionally, if we do not receive the information from the joint venture or variable interest entity on a timely basis, this could cause delays in our external reporting. Even if we conclude, and our independent registered public accounting firm concurs, that our internal control over financial reporting provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect fraud or misstatements. Failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our results of operations or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If we or our independent registered public accounting firm discover a material weakness, the disclosure of that fact, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market's confidence in our financial statements and harm our stock price. In addition, failure to comply with Section 404 could subject us to a variety of administrative sanctions, including SEC action, ineligibility for short form resale registration, the suspension or delisting of our common stock from the stock exchange on which it is listed, and the inability of registered broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, which would further reduce our stock price and could harm our business.

If the value of our goodwill or other intangible assets becomes impaired, it could materially reduce the value of our assets and reduce our net income for the year in which the related impairment charges occur.

We apply the applicable accounting principles set forth in the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification to our intangible assets (including goodwill), which prohibits the amortization of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and requires that these assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually. There are several methods that can be used to determine the estimated fair value of the in-process research and development acquired in a business combination. We have used the “income method,” which applies a probability weighting that considers the risk of development and commercialization, to the estimated future net cash flows that are derived from projected sales revenues and estimated costs. These projections are based on factors such as relevant market size, pricing of similar products, and expected industry trends. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted to the present value using an appropriate discount rate. These assets are treated as indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the projects, at which time the assets will be amortized over the remaining useful life or written off, as appropriate. If the carrying amount of the assets is greater than the measures of fair value, impairment is considered to have occurred and a write-down of the asset is recorded. Any finding that the value of our intangible assets has been impaired would require us to write-down the impaired portion, which could reduce the value of our assets and reduce our net income for the year in which the related impairment charges occur.  As of December 31, 2013, we had a net carrying value of approximately $9.1 million in in-process research and development and goodwill associated with our acquisition of Draths Corporation.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (or the Code), a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards (or NOLs), to offset future taxable income. If the Internal Revenue Service challenges our analysis that our existing NOLs are not subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes, or if we undergo an ownership change, our ability to utilize NOLs could be limited by Section 382 of the Code. Future changes in our stock ownership, some of which are outside of our control, could result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code. Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we may acquire in the future may be subject to limitations. For these reasons, we may not be able to utilize a material portion of the NOLs carryforward as of December 31, 2013, even if we attain profitability.

Loss of, or inability to secure government contract revenues could impair our business.

In early 2010, we were awarded an “Integrated Bio-Refinery” grant from the United States Department of Energy (or DOE). The terms of this grant made funds available to us through 2013 to leverage and expand our existing Emeryville, California pilot plant and support laboratories to develop United States-based production capabilities for renewable fuels and chemicals derived from sweet sorghum. In late 2010, we were selected as a sub-contractor in the National Advanced Biofuels Consortium (or NABC) Fermentation of Lignocellulosic Sugars (or FLS) grant funded by the DOE. The terms of this grant made funds available to us through 2013 to develop strains that consume C5 sugars and to demonstrate production of advanced biofuels from lignocellulosic sugars. In 2012, we entered into a Technology Investment Agreement with The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (or

31



DARPA), under which we are performing certain research and development activities funded in part by DARPA. Generally, these agreements, as amended or modified, have fixed terms and may be terminated, modified or be subject to recovery of payments by the government agency under certain conditions (such as failure to comply with detailed reporting and governance processes or failure to achieve milestones). Under these agreements, we are also subject to audits, which can result in corrective action plans and penalties up to and including termination. If DARPA terminates its agreement with us, it could reduce our revenues which could harm our business. Additionally, we anticipate securing additional government contracts as part of our business plan for 2014 and beyond. If we are unable to secure such government contracts, it could harm our business.

Our headquarters and other facilities are located in an active earthquake zone, and an earthquake or other types of natural disasters affecting us or our suppliers could cause resource shortages and disrupt and harm our results of operations.

We conduct our primary research and development operations in the San Francisco Bay Area in an active earthquake zone, and certain of our suppliers conduct their operations in the same region or in other locations that are susceptible to natural disasters. In addition, California and some of the locations where certain of our suppliers are located have experienced shortages of water, electric power and natural gas from time to time. The occurrence of a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, drought or flood, or localized extended outages of critical utilities or transportation systems, or any critical resource shortages, affecting us or our suppliers could cause a significant interruption in our business, damage or destroy our facilities, production equipment or inventory or those of our suppliers and cause us to incur significant costs or result in limitations on the availability of our raw materials, any of which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. The insurance we maintain against fires, earthquakes and other natural disasters may not be adequate to cover our losses in any particular case.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

Our stock price may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock has been, and we expect it to continue to be, subject to significant volatility, and it has declined significantly from our initial public offering price. As of February 28, 2014 , the reported closing price for our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market was $4.57 per share. Market prices for securities of early stage companies have historically been particularly volatile. Such fluctuations could be in response to, among other things, the factors described in this “Risk Factors” section or elsewhere in this report, or other factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:

fluctuations in our financial results or outlook or those of companies perceived to be similar to us;

changes in estimates of our financial results or recommendations by securities analysts;

changes in market valuations of similar companies;

changes in the prices of commodities associated with our business such as sugar, ethanol and petroleum;

changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of debt;

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions or strategic alliances;

regulatory developments in the United States, Brazil, and/or other foreign countries;

litigation involving us, our general industry or both;

additions or departures of key personnel;

investors' general perception of us; and

changes in general economic, industry and market conditions.

Furthermore, stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected, and continue to affect, the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rate changes and international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our common stock.


32



In the past, many companies that have experienced volatility and sustained declines in the market price of their stock have become subject to securities class action and derivative action litigation. We are currently involved in two such lawsuits, as described in more detail below in "ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS", and we may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

The concentration of our capital stock ownership with insiders will limit the ability to influence corporate matters.

As of February 28, 2014 :

our executive officers and directors and their affiliates (including Total) together held approximately 40% of our outstanding common stock;

Total held approximately 17.7% of our outstanding common stock; and

the two largest holders of outstanding common stock after Total (Temasek and Biolding Investment SA (or Biolding), each of whom has a designee on our Board of Directors) together held approximately 23.2% of our outstanding common stock.

This significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price for our common stock because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning stock in companies with controlling stockholders. Also, these stockholders, acting together, will be able to control our management and affairs and matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of our assets. Consequently, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, including a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control, even if that change of control would benefit our other stockholders.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who cover us change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

We do not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, certain of our equipment leases and credit facilities currently restrict our ability to pay dividends. Consequently, investors may need to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of our company. These provisions could also make it more difficult for stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. These provisions include:

a staggered board of directors;

authorizing the board of directors to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with rights senior to those of our common stock;

authorizing the board of directors to amend our bylaws and to fill board vacancies until the next annual meeting of the stockholders;

prohibiting stockholder action by written consent;

33




limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;

eliminating the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings; and

requiring advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals. 

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits, subject to some exceptions, “business combinations” between a Delaware corporation and an “interested stockholder,” which is generally defined as a stockholder who becomes a beneficial owner of 15% or more of a Delaware corporation's voting stock, for a three-year period following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder. We have agreed to opt out of Section 203 through our certificate of incorporation, but our certificate of incorporation contains substantially similar protections to our company and stockholders as those afforded under Section 203, except that we have agreed with Total that it and its affiliates will not be deemed to be “interested stockholders” under such protections.
 

In addition, we have an agreement with Total, which provides that, so long as Total holds at least 10% of our voting securities, we must inform Total of any offer to acquire us or any decision of our Board of Directors to sell our company, and we must provide Total with information about the contemplated transaction. In such events, Total will have an exclusive negotiating period of fifteen business days in the event the Board of Directors authorizes us to solicit offers to buy Amyris, or five business days in the event that we receive an unsolicited offer to purchase us. This exclusive negotiation period will be followed by an additional restricted negotiation period of ten business days, during which we are obligated to continue to negotiate with Total and will be prohibited from entering into an agreement with any other potential acquirer.

These and other provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws that became effective upon the completion of our initial public offering under Delaware law and in our agreement with Total could discourage potential takeover attempts, reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock and result in the market price of our common stock being lower than it would be without these provisions.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
Not applicable.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We lease approximately 136,000 square feet of space in two adjacent buildings in Emeryville, California, pursuant to two leases. Of this space, we use approximately 113,000 square feet for general office purposes and lab space, and approximately 23,000 square feet comprise our pilot plant. Our leases expire in May 2023 and we have an option to extend these leases for five years. We also lease approximately 19,375 square feet of space in North Carolina under a month-to-month lease. This lease relates to manufacturing operations through Glycotech, one of our variable interest entities.

Amyris Brasil leases approximately 47,000 square feet of space in Campinas, Brazil, pursuant to two leases that will expire in October 2015 and November 2016. Of this space, approximately 36,000 square feet comprise a pilot plant and demonstration facility, and the remainder is general office and lab space. Amyris Brasil has a right of first refusal to purchase the space if the landlord elects to sell it and an option to extend the lease for five additional years.

Our first large-scale Biofene production plant commenced operations in December 2012 in Brotas in the state of São Paulo, Brazil and is adjacent to an existing sugar and ethanol mill, Paraíso Bioenergia. Amyris Brasil leases approximately 800,000 square feet of space for this plant, which has six 200,000 liter production fermenters and was designed to process sugarcane juice, or its equivalent, from up to one million tons of raw sugarcane annually; this lease expires in March 2026. Amyris Brasil also leases approximately 500,000 square feet of space for a future manufacturing site; this lease expires in January 2031.

We have also secured the use of a Biofene storage tank with an aggregate capacity of 3,000 barrels or 94,500 gallons in Philadelphia. This facility provides temporary storage of our renewable farnesene prior to further processing into one of our finished products. Our current agreement expires in June 2015.
 
We believe that our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our needs and that suitable additional space will be available to accommodate the foreseeable expansion of our operations.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In May 2013, a securities class action complaint was filed against Amyris and our CEO, John G. Melo, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. In October 2013, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. The complaint, as amended, sought unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class that would comprise all individuals who acquired our common stock between April 29, 2011 and February 8, 2012. The complaint alleged securities law violations based on the company's commercial projections during that period. In December 2013, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In March 2014, the court issued an order granting our motion to dismiss with leave to amend the complaint. We continue to believe the complaint lacks merit, and intend to defend ourselves vigorously.

In August 2013, a complaint entitled Steve Shannon, derivatively on behalf of Amyris, Inc. v. John G. Melo et al and Amyris, Inc., was filed against Amyris as nominal defendant in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages on behalf of Amyris from certain of our current and former officers, directors and employees and alleges these defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Amyris and unjustly enriched themselves by making allegedly false and misleading statements and omitting certain material facts in our securities filings. Because this purported stockholder derivative action is based on substantially the same facts as the securities class action described above, the two actions have been related and will be heard by the same judge. By stipulation of the parties, the case has been stayed until the Company either files an answer in the securities class action or the securities action is dismissed with prejudice. We do not believe the claims in the complaint have merit, and intend to defend ourselves vigorously.

We may be involved, from time to time, in legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and there can be no assurance that legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Private Placements

On December 24, 2012, we sold 14,177,849 shares common stock at a price of $2.98 per share for aggregate cash proceeds of $37.2 million and cancellation of $5.0 million of an outstanding senior unsecured convertible promissory notes we previously issued to Total. The cash settlement with respect to 5,033,557 of such shares occurred on January 14, 2013.

On March 27, 2013, we sold 1,533,742 shares of common stock at a price of $3.26 per share for an aggregate cash proceeds of $5.0 million.

Promissory Notes

On June 6, 2013 and July 26, 2013, we sold $10.0 million and $20.0 million of 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes Due 2017 for aggregate offering prices of $10.0 million and $20.0 million in cash, respectively. These notes have a March 1, 2017 maturity date and a conversion price equal to $3.08 per share of our common stock. The conversion price of these notes is subject to adjustment for proportional adjustments to outstanding common stock and under anti-dilution provisions in case of certain dividends and distributions. The holder of these notes (Total) has a right to require repayment of 101% of the principal amount of the notes in the event of a change of control in Amyris, and the notes provide for payment of unpaid interest on conversion following such a change of control if Total does not require such repayment.

On October 4, 2013, we sold a Senior Promissory Note to Temasek for a bridge loan of $35.0 million. The note was not convertible or exercisable for equity securities; however it was cancelled in exchange for a Tranche I Senior Convertible Note as described below.

On October 16, 2013, we sold approximately $51.9 million of Tranche I Senior Convertible Notes in the August Financing for an aggregate offering price of $51.9 million, including cancellation of the Temasek Bridge Note ($35.0 million), new cash proceeds of approximately $7.6 million, and cancellation by Total of previously outstanding convertible promissory notes (approximately $9.3 million). These notes are due sixty months from the date of issuance and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $2.44 per share, subject to adjustment as described below. Specifically, the notes are convertible at the option of the holder (i) at any time after 18 months from the date of the purchase agreement relating to such notes, (ii) on a change of control, and (iii) upon the occurrence of an event of default. The conversion price of the notes was subject to reduction to $2.15 if either (a) a specified company manufacturing plant fails to achieve a total production of 1,000,000 liters within a run period of 45 days prior to June 30, 2014, or we fail to achieve gross margins from product sales of at least 5% prior to June 30, 2014, or (b) we reduce the conversion price of certain existing promissory notes held by Total prior to the repayment or conversion of these new notes; provided, however, that, if both of the conditions described in clauses (a) and (b) were to occur, the conversion price of the notes could be reduced to $1.87. In addition to the conversion price adjustments set forth above, the conversion price of these notes is subject to further adjustment (i) according to proportional adjustments to outstanding common stock in case of certain dividends and distributions, (ii) according to anti-dilution provisions, and (iii) with respect to such notes held by any purchaser other than Total, in the event that Total exchanges existing convertible notes for new securities of the company in connection with future financing transactions in excess of its pro rata amount. The purchasers have a right to require repayment of 101% of the principal amount of the notes in the event of a change of control and the notes provide for payment of unpaid interest on conversion following such a change of control if the purchasers do not require such repayment.

On December 2, 2013, we issued approximately $69.0 million of 1.5% Senior Secured Convertible Notes to Total, replacing an equal amount of previously outstanding 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes Due 2017 held by Total. The exchange was completed as part of the establishment of a joint venture, and the conversion terms of the new notes were generally identical to the terms of the notes that were cancelled, except that the new notes are secured by certain of our shares in the joint venture.

On December 24, 2013, we agreed to sell approximately $34.0 million of Tranche II Senior Convertible Notes in the August Financing for an aggregate offering price of $34.0 million, including new cash proceeds of approximately $28.0 million, and cancellation by Total of previously outstanding convertible promissory notes (approximately $6.0 million). We sold and issued these notes in January 15, 2014. The notes are due sixty months from the date of issuance and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $2.87 per share, subject to adjustment as described below. Specifically, the notes are convertible at the option of the holder (i) at any time 12 months after issuance, (ii) on a change of control, and (iii) upon the occurrence of an event of default. The conversion price of these notes is subject to adjustment (i) according to proportional adjustments to outstanding common stock in case of certain dividends and distributions, (ii) according to anti-dilution provisions, and (iii) with respect to such notes held by any purchaser other than Total, in the event that Total exchanges existing convertible notes for new securities of the company in connection with future financing transactions in excess of its pro rata amount. The

40



purchasers have a right to require repayment of 101% of the principal amount of the Tranche II Notes in the event of a change of control and the notes provide for payment of unpaid interest on conversion following such a change of control if the purchasers do not require such repayment.

With the exception of a placement agent used in connection with the sale of securities to one of the purchasers in the convertible note financing we closed in January 2014, no underwriters were involved in the foregoing sales of securities. These securities were issued in private transactions pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The recipients of these securities acquired the securities for investment purposes only and without intent to resell, were able to fend for themselves in these transactions, and were accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act, and appropriate restrictions were set out in the agreements for, and stock certificates and notes issued in, these transactions. These security holders had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about us.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Amyris is a renewable products company focused on providing sustainable alternatives to a broad range of petroleum-sourced products. We developed innovative microbial engineering and screening technologies that modify the way microorganisms process sugars. We are using our proprietary synthetic biology platform to design microbes, primarily yeast, and use them as living factories in established fermentation processes to convert plant-sourced sugars into renewable hydrocarbons. We are developing, and, in some cases, already commercializing, products from these hydrocarbons in several target industry sectors, including cosmetics, lubricants, flavors and fragrances, performance materials, and transportation fuels. We call these No Compromise products because we design them to perform comparably to or better than currently available products.

We have been applying our industrial synthetic biology platform to provide alternatives to a broad range of petroleum-sourced products. We have focused our development efforts on the production of Biofene, our brand of renewable farnesene, a long-chain, branched liquid hydrocarbon molecule. Using Biofene as a first commercial building block molecule, we are developing a wide range of renewable products for our target markets.

While our platform is able to utilize a wide variety of feedstocks, we are focusing our large-scale production plans primarily on the use of Brazilian sugarcane as our feedstock because of its abundance, low cost and relative price stability. We have also been able to produce Biofene through the use of other feedstocks such as sugar beets, corn dextrose, sweet sorghum and cellulosic sugars.

Our first purpose-built, large-scale Biofene production plant commenced operations in southeastern Brazil in December 2012. This plant is located in Brotas, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and is adjacent to an existing sugar and ethanol mill, Paraíso Bioenergia. We have also advanced initial construction of a second large-scale production plant in Brazil, located at the SMSA sugar and ethanol mill also in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, for which we intend to complete the construction when market developments support the start-up of that plant.

Our business strategy is focused on our commercialization efforts of specialty products while moving commodity products, including our fuels and base oil lubricants products, into joint venture arrangements with established industry leaders. We believe this approach will permit access to the capital and resources necessary to support large-scale production and global distribution

43



for our products. Our initial renewable products efforts have been focused on cosmetics, niche fuel opportunities, fragrance oils, and performance materials sector.

Total Relationship

In July 2012 and December 2013, we entered into a series of agreements to establish a research and development program and form a joint venture with Total to produce and commercialize Biofene-based diesel and jet fuels, and successfully formed such joint venture in December 2013. With an exception for our fuels business in Brazil, the collaboration and joint venture established the exclusive means for us to develop, produce and commercialize fuels from Biofene. We granted the joint venture exclusive licenses under certain of our intellectual property to make and sell joint venture products. We also granted the joint venture, in the event of a buy-out of our interest in the joint venture by Total (which Total is entitled to do under certain circumstances described below) a non-exclusive license to optimize or engineer yeast strains used by us to produce farnesene for the joint venture’s diesel and jet fuels. As a result of these licenses, Amyris generally no longer has an independent right to make or sell Biofene fuels outside of Brazil.

Our agreements with Total relating to our fuels collaboration created a convertible debt financing structure for funding the research and development program. The collaboration agreements contemplated approximately $105.0 million in financing for the collaboration, of which Total has funded $83.3 million to date. Total is to fund up to the remaining $21.7 million , with $10.85 million to be paid by July 2014 and $10.85 million to be paid by January 2015. If Total chooses not to continue participating at certain "Go/No-Go" decision points during the program, licenses to our technology would terminate, and the notes would remain outstanding and become payable at maturity unless otherwise converted in accordance with their terms. If Total chooses to continue the collaboration and makes a final decision to proceed with the joint venture only for jet fuel, Total is required to buy from Amyris 50% of the preferred shares of the joint venture in exchanges for the settlement of 30% of the principal and interest outstanding under the notes. The remaining notes would continue to be outstanding and payable upon maturity unless otherwise converted in accordance with the terms of the notes.

Sales and Revenue

To commercialize our initial Biofene-derived product, squalane, in the cosmetics sector for use as an emollient, we have entered into marketing and distribution agreements in Europe, Asia, and North America. As an initial step towards commercialization of Biofene-based diesel, we have entered into agreements with municipal fleet operators in Brazil. Our diesel fuel is supplied to the largest Company in Brazil's fuel distribution segment which blends our product with petroleum diesel, and sells to a number of bus fleet operators. For the industrial lubricants market, we established a joint venture with Cosan for the worldwide development, production and commercialization of renewable base oils in the lubricant sector.

Financing

In 2013, we completed multiple financings involving loans, convertible debt and equity offerings. We completed private placements of 6,567,299 shares of common stock in 2013 for aggregate proceeds of $20.0 million , of which $15.0 million was from the receipt of funds from a private placement that closed in December 2012. We raised $72.6 million in 2013 from an offering of senior unsecured convertible promissory notes pursuant to the August Financing and research and development funding from Total.

In December 2012, we completed a private placement of 14,177,849 shares of common stock for aggregate proceeds of $37.2 million and the cancellation of $5.0 million worth of outstanding senior unsecured convertible promissory notes we previously issued to Total in exchange for approximately 1,677,852 shares of common stock. Under the December 2012 purchase agreement and related documents, the purchase of a portion of the shares, representing $15.0 million of the proceeds from that transaction, was settled in January 2013. Cash received as of December 31, 2012 in the December 2012 financing, net of the note conversion and the January 2013 settlement, was $22.2 million . In January 2013, we received the $15.0 million proceeds from the private placement offering that closed in December 2012. Consequently we issued 5,033,557 shares of the 14,177,849 shares of Amyris' common stock issuable pursuant to such private placement.

In March 2013, we completed a private placement of 1,533,742 of our common stock to Biolding for aggregate proceeds of $5.0 million . This private placement represented the final tranche of Biolding's preexisting contractual obligation to fund $15.0 million upon satisfaction by us of certain criteria associated with the commissioning of our production plant in Brotas, Brazil.



44



In March 2013, we entered into a letter agreement with Total (referred to as the March 2013 Letter Agreement). Under the March 2013 Letter Agreement, we sold and issued a $10.0 million senior unsecured convertible note to Total with an initial conversion price of $3.08 per share in June 2013. Subsequently, in July 2013, we sold and issued a $20.0 million senior unsecured convertible note to Total with the same initial conversion price of $3.08 per share as the note sold in June 2013. The July 2013 purchase and sale completed Total's commitment to purchase $30.0 million of such notes by July 2013.

In October 2013, we completed an additional private placement of convertible promissory notes in the August 2013 Financing as described in more detail below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources.".

In December 2013, we agreed to complete an additional private placement of a portion of the second tranche of convertible promissory notes in the August 2013 Financing as described in more detail below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources." On January 15, 2014, the Company completed the offering of convertible promissory notes in the second tranche of the August 2013 Financing.

Liquidity

We have incurred significant losses since our inception and believe that we will continue to incur losses and negative cash flow from operations into at least 2014. As of December 31, 2013 , we had an accumulated deficit of $821.4 million and had cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $8.3 million . We have significant outstanding debt and contractual obligations related to purchase commitments, as well as capital and operating leases. As of December 31, 2013 , our debt, net of discount totaled $152.1 million , of which $6.4 million matures within the next twelve months. Additionally, our debt agreements contain various covenants, including restrictions on business that could cause us to be at risk of defaults.

In addition to cash contributions from product sales and debt and equity financings, we also depend on collaboration funding to support our operating expenses. While part of this funding is committed based on existing collaboration agreements, we will need to identify and obtain funding under additional collaborations that are not yet subject to any definitive agreement or are not yet identified. In addition, some of our existing anticipated collaboration funding is subject to our achievement of milestones or other funding conditions. If we are unable to raise additional financing, or if other expected sources of funding are delayed or not received, we would take actions to support our liquidity needs that could have a material negative impact on our ability to continue our business as currently contemplated. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below in this section for additional detail regarding these contingency plans and their potential effects on our business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. The results of our analysis form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies involve significant areas of management’s judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from the sale of farnesene-derived products, from the delivery of collaborative research services and from government grants. Through the third quarter of 2012, we sold ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline under short-term agreements at prevailing market prices. As of September 30, 2012 we had transitioned out of that business. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

If sales arrangements contain multiple elements, we evaluate whether the components of each arrangement represent separate units of accounting. Application of revenue recognition standards requires subjective determination and requires management to make judgments about the fair values of each individual element and whether it is separable from other aspects of the contractual relationship.


45



For each source of revenues, we apply the above revenue recognition criteria in the following manner:

Product Sales.

Starting in the second quarter of 2011, we commenced sales of farnesene-derived products. Revenues are recognized, net of discounts and allowances, once passage of title and risk of loss have occurred, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have also been met.

Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are recorded as revenues. Shipping costs are included in cost of products sold. Such charges were not significant in any of the periods presented.

Grants and Collaborative Research Services.

Revenues from collaborative research services are recognized as the services are performed consistent with the performance requirements of the contract. In cases where the planned levels of research services fluctuate over the research term, we recognize revenues using the proportionate performance method based upon actual efforts to date relative to the amount of expected effort to be incurred by us. When up-front payments are received and the planned levels of research services do not fluctuate over the research term, revenues are recorded on a ratable basis over the arrangement term, up to the amount of cash received. When up-front payments are received and the planned levels of research services fluctuate over the research term, revenues are recorded using the proportionate performance method, up to the amount of cash received. Where arrangements include milestones that are determined to be substantive and at risk at the inception of the arrangement, revenues are recognized upon achievement of the milestone and is limited to those amounts whereby collectibility is reasonably assured.

Government grants are made pursuant to agreements that generally provide cost reimbursement for certain types of expenditures in return for research and development activities over a contractually defined period. Revenues from government grants are recognized in the period during which the related costs are incurred, provided that the conditions under which the government grants were provided have been met and only perfunctory obligations are outstanding. Under a government contract signed in June 2012, we will receive funding based on achievement of program milestones and accordingly revenues are recognized using the proportionate performance method based upon actual efforts to date relative to the amount of expected effort to be incurred, up to the amount of verified payable milestones.

Consolidations

We have interests in certain joint venture entities that are variable interest entities or VIEs. Determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity may require judgment in assessing (i) whether an entity is a variable interest entity and (ii) if we are the entity’s primary beneficiary and thus required to consolidate the entity. To determine if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we evaluate whether we have (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our evaluation includes identification of significant activities and an assessment of our ability to direct those activities based on governance provisions and arrangements to provide or receive product and process technology, product supply, operations services, equity funding and financing and other applicable agreements and circumstances. Our assessment of whether we are the primary beneficiary of our VIEs requires significant assumptions and judgment.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We assess impairment of long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and test long-lived assets for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; or expectations that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

Recoverability is assessed based on the fair value of the asset, which is calculated as the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable and exceeds fair value, which is determined on a discounted cash flow basis.


46



As a result of our impairment assessment of long-lived assets, we recorded losses on write-off of production assets of $7.7 million and $6.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There were no such losses on write off of production assets recorded in the year ended December 31, 2011.

We make estimates and judgments about future undiscounted cash flows and fair values. Although our cash flow forecasts are based on assumptions that are consistent with our plans, there is significant exercise of judgment involved in determining the cash flow attributable to a long-lived asset over its estimated remaining useful life. Significant changes in our plans in using long-lived assets, such as delays in the re-start of construction and completion of our large-scale SMA production facility, could significantly reduce our estimates of anticipated cash flows in the future. As a result, the carrying amounts of our long-lived assets could be reduced through impairment charges.

Inventories

Inventories, which consist of farnesene and farnesene-derived products are stated at the lower of cost or market. We evaluate the recoverability of our inventories based on assumptions about expected demand and net realizable value. If we determine that the cost of inventory exceeds its estimated net realizable value, we record a write-down equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value. If actual net realizable values are lower than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required that could negatively impact our operating results. If actual net realizable values are more than those projected by management, we may have favorable operating results when products that have been previously written down are sold in the normal course of business. We also evaluate the terms of our agreements with our suppliers and establish accruals for estimated losses on adverse purchase commitments as necessary, applying the same lower of cost or market approach that is used to value inventory.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets 

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired from our business combinations. Intangible assets are comprised primarily of in-process research and development (or IPR&D). We make significant judgments in relation to the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business combinations and asset acquisitions.

 
There are several methods that can be used to determine the estimated fair value of the IPR&D acquired in a business combination. We have used the "income method," which applies a probability weighting that considers the risk of development and commercialization, to the estimated future net cash flows that are derived from projected sales revenues and estimated costs. These projections are based on factors such as relevant market size, pricing of similar products, and expected industry trends. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted to the present value using an appropriate discount rate. These assets are treated as indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the projects, at which time the assets will be amortized over the remaining useful life or written off, as appropriate.
 
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are assessed for impairment using fair value measurement techniques on an annual basis or more frequently if facts and circumstance warrant such a review. When required, a comparison of fair value to the carrying amount of assets is performed to determine the amount of any impairment.

 
We evaluate our intangible assets with finite lives for indications of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Intangible assets consist of purchased licenses and permits and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business or significant negative industry or economic trends. If this evaluation indicates that the value of the intangible asset may be impaired, we make an assessment of the recoverability of the net carrying value of the asset over its remaining useful life. If this assessment indicates that the intangible asset is not recoverable, based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the technology over the remaining amortization period, we will reduce the net carrying value of the related intangible asset to fair value and may adjust the remaining amortization period. Any such impairment charge could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our reported financial results. As a result of our impairment assessment of goodwill and intangible assets, we have not recognized any impairment charges through December 31, 2013 .


47



Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost for restricted stock units (or RSUs) is measured based on the closing fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation cost for stock options and employee stock purchase plan rights is estimated at the grant date and offering date, respectively, based on the fair-value of our common stock using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We amortize the fair value of the employee stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. The measurement of nonemployee stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest, and the resulting change in value, if any, is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations during the period the related services are rendered. There is inherent uncertainty in these estimates and if different assumptions had been used, the fair value of the equity instruments issued to nonemployee consultants could have been significantly different.

In future periods, our stock-based compensation expense is expected to change as a result of our existing unrecognized stock-based compensation still to be recognized and as we issue additional stock-based awards in order to attract and retain employees and nonemployee consultants.

Significant Factors, Assumptions and Methodologies Used In Determining Fair Value

We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of our equity awards. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires inputs such as the expected term of the grant, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate. Further, the forfeiture rate also affects the amount of aggregate compensation that we are required to record as an expense. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant judgment.

The fair value of employee stock options was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Expected volatility

%
 
77%
 
86%

Expected term is derived from a comparable group of publicly listed companies that have a similar industry, life cycle, revenue, and market capitalization and the historical data on employee exercises.

Expected volatility is derived from a combination of historical volatility for our stock and the historical volatilities of a comparable group of publicly listed companies within our industry over a period equal to the expected term of our options because we do not yet have a long trading history.

Risk-free interest rate is the market yield currently available on United States Treasury securities with maturities approximately equal to the option’s expected term.

Expected dividend yield was assumed to be zero as we have not paid, and do not anticipate, declaring any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We estimate our forfeiture rate based on an analysis of our actual forfeitures and will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of the forfeiture rate based on actual forfeiture experience, analysis of employee turnover and other factors. Quarterly changes in the estimated forfeiture rate can have a significant effect on reported stock-based compensation expense, as the cumulative effect of adjusting the rate for all expense amortization is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed. If a revised forfeiture rate is higher than the previously estimated forfeiture rate, an adjustment is made that will result in a decrease to the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements. If a revised forfeiture rate is lower than the previously estimated forfeiture rate, an adjustment is made that will result in an increase to the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

We will continue to use judgment in evaluating the expected term, volatility and forfeiture rate related to our own stock-based compensation on a prospective basis and incorporating these factors into the Black-Scholes option pricing model.


48



Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant management judgment to determine. If, in the future, we determine that another method for calculating the fair value of our stock options is more reasonable, or if another method for calculating these input assumptions is prescribed by authoritative guidance, and, therefore, should be used to estimate expected volatility or expected term, the fair value calculated for our employee stock options could change significantly. Higher volatility and longer expected terms generally result in an increase to stock-based compensation expense determined at the date of grant.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and foreign jurisdictions, and we use estimates in determining our provisions for income taxes. We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets or liability account balances are calculated at the balance sheet date using current tax laws and rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

Recognition of deferred tax assets is appropriate when realization of such assets is more likely than not. We recognize a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. This assessment requires judgment as to the likelihood and amounts of future taxable income by tax jurisdiction. At December 31, 2013 , we had a full valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets.

We apply the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (or FASB) guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. We assess all material positions taken in any income tax return, including all significant uncertain positions, in all tax years that are still subject to assessment or challenge by relevant taxing authorities. Assessing an uncertain tax position begins with the initial determination of the position’s sustainability and the tax benefit to be recognized is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of each balance sheet date, unresolved uncertain tax positions must be reassessed, and we will determine whether (i) the factors underlying the sustainability assertion have changed and (ii) the amount of the recognized tax benefit is still appropriate. The recognition and measurement of tax benefits requires significant judgment. Judgments concerning the recognition and measurement of a tax benefit might change as new information becomes available.

Embedded Derivatives Related to Convertible Notes

Embedded derivatives that are required to be bifurcated from the underlying debt instrument (i.e. host) are accounted for and valued as a separate financial instrument. We evaluated the terms and features of our convertible notes payable and identified compound embedded derivatives (conversion options that contain “make-whole interest” provisions or down round conversion price adjustment provisions) requiring bifurcation and accounting at fair value because the economic and contractual characteristics of the embedded derivatives met the criteria for bifurcation and separate accounting due to the conversion option containing a “make-whole interest” provision, that requires cash payment for forgone interest upon a change of control and down round conversion price adjustment provisions.

We estimate the fair value of the compound embedded derivatives for the Total Notes using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model that combines expected cash outflows with market-based assumptions regarding risk-adjusted yields, stock price volatility, probability of a change of control and the trading information of our common stock into which the notes are convertible.

We estimate the fair value of the compound embedded derivative for the Tranche I Notes using a binomial lattice model in order to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative in the Tranche I convertible notes. A binomial lattice model generates two probable outcomes - one up and another down - arising at each point in time, starting from the date of valuation until the maturity date. A lattice model was initially used to determine if the convertible notes would be converted, called or held at each decision point. Within the lattice model, the following assumptions are made: (i) the convertible notes will be converted early if the conversion value is greater than the holding value; or (ii) the convertible notes will be called if the holding value is greater than both (a) redemption price and (b) the conversion value plus the coupon make-whole payment at the time. If the convertible notes are called, then the holder will maximize their value by finding the optimal decision between (1) redeeming at the redemption price and (2) converting the convertible notes. Using this lattice method, we fair valued the embedded derivative using the "with-and-without method", where the fair value of the convertible notes including the embedded derivative is defined as the "with", and the value of the convertible notes excluding the embedded derivative is defined as the "without". This method estimates the fair value of the embedded derivative by looking at the difference in the fair values between the convertible notes with the embedded derivative and the fair value of the convertible notes without the embedded derivative. The lattice model uses the stock price, conversion price, maturity date, risk-free interest rate, estimated stock volatility and estimated credit spread.

Changes in the inputs into these valuation models have a significant impact in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives. For example, a decrease (increase) in the estimated credit spread for the Company results in an increase (decrease)

49



in the estimated value of the embedded derivatives. Conversely, a decrease (increase) in the stock price results in a decrease (increase) in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives. The changes in the fair value of the bifurcated compound embedded derivative is primarily related to the change in price of the underlying common stock and is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as “Income (loss) from change in fair value of derivative instruments.”

Our total revenues decreased by $32.6 million to $41.1 million in 2013 as compared to the prior year primarily due to decreased revenues from product sales. Product sales decreased by $33.8 million to $15.8 million with reductions resulting primarily from the transition out of the ethanol and ethanol-blended gasoline business during the third quarter of 2012. Renewable product sales of our farnesene-derived products increased $5.0 million in 2013 compared to the prior year primarily as a result of sales to new distributors, along with related party sales of renewable product to Novvi and Total. Grants and collaborations revenue increased in 2013 by $1.3 million to $25.3 million compared to the prior year primarily due to the increase in grants and collaborations revenue of $12.0 million , from the increase of collaborations revenue from our flavors and fragrances collaborations of $9.4 million and related party collaboration revenue from Novvi of $2.6 million , offset by the decrease in collaboration revenue from Total of $9.8 million and Cosan of $0.9 million .

Cost of Products Sold

Our cost of products sold decreased by $39.1 million to $38.3 million in 2013 . Our cost of products sold includes cost of raw materials, labor and overhead, amounts paid to contract manufacturers, period costs related to inventory write-downs resulting from applying lower cost or market inventory valuations, and costs related to scale-up in production of such products. In 2012, we began operating our own large-scale Biofene production plant located at Brotas, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The decrease

50



in cost of products sold was mainly due from our transitioning out of our ethanol and ethanol-blended gasoline business during the third quarter of 2012, resulting in a decrease of $38.6 million in the cost of products sold.

Cost of Products Sold Associated with Loss on Purchase Commitments and Write-Off of Production Assets

The loss on purchase commitments and write-off of production assets decreased by $36.5 million to $9.4 million in 2013 compared to the prior year. The decrease was mainly due to the shift of a portion of our production capacity from contract manufacturing facilities to Amyris-owned plants. Beginning in March 2012, we initiated to shift a portion of our production capacity from contract manufacturing facilities to Amyris-owned plants. As a result, we evaluated our contract manufacturing agreements and, in the first quarter of 2012 recorded a loss of $31.2 million related to facility modification costs and fixed purchase commitments. We also recorded an impairment charge of $5.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 related to Amyris-owned equipment at contract manufacturing facilities, based on the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their fair value. We recognized additional charges of $1.4 million and $7.8 million , respectively, in the third and fourth quarters of 2012 associated with losses on fixed purchase commitments. We computed the loss on facility modification costs and fixed purchase commitments using the same approach that is used to value inventory-the lower of cost or market value. The computation of the loss on firm purchase commitments is subject to several estimates, including the ultimate selling price of any of our products manufactured at the relevant production facilities, and is therefore inherently uncertain. During 2013, we recorded a loss of $9.4 million related to the termination and settlement of our existing agreements with Tate & Lyle and Antibioticos.The loss of $8.4 million related to Tate & Lyle consisted of an impairment charge of $6.7 million relating to our equipment at Tate & Lyle and a $2.7 million write off of an unamortized portion of equipment costs funded by us for Tate & Lyle, offset by a $1.0 million reversal of our remaining accrual associated with our loss on fixed purchase commitments. The loss of $1.0 million related to Antibioticos, consisted of impairment charge relating to our equipment held at this location.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses decreased by $17.6 million in 2013 over the prior year, primarily as a result of our overall cost reduction efforts and lower spending. The decreases were attributable to an $8.2 million reduction in personnel-related expenses and lower stock-based compensation expense due to lower headcount, a $2.8 million decrease in consulting and outsourced services, a $2.3 million reduction in production expenses associated with development projects, a $1.3 million decrease in laboratory supplies and equipment and a $3.0 million decrease in travel-related expenses and other overhead expenses. Research and development expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $4.3 million in 2013 compared to $6.5 million in 2012.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

Our sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by $21.7 million to $57.1 million in 2013 compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of our overall cost reduction efforts and lower spending. The decreases were attributable to a $14.5 million reduction in personnel-related expenses and lower stock-based compensation expense due to lower headcount, a $4.3 million decrease in consulting and outsourced services, a $0.9 million decrease in laboratory supplies and equipment, a $0.8 million reduction in production expenses associated with development projects and a decrease of $1.2. million in travel-related expenses and other overhead expenses. Sales, general and administrative expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $13.8 million and $21.0 million during 2013 and 2012 , respectively.

Total other expense increased by approximately $112.9 million to $116.1 million in 2013 compared to the prior year. The increase in other expense of $112.9 million was primarily attributable to the increase in loss from change in fair value of derivative instruments of $86.5 million , due to a change in the fair value of the compound embedded derivative liability associated with our senior secured convertible promissory notes as a result of the changes in the inputs used in the valuation models from one reporting period to another, such as stock price and estimated stock volatility, and interest rate swap derivative liability, $19.0 million increase in loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the Temasek Bridge Loan and Total convertible notes, a $1.9 million increase in other expense, net, mainly due to an increase in realized loss on foreign currency transactions, a $1.3 million decrease in interest income due to lower cash balance compared to prior year and an increase in interest expense of $4.2 million associated with increased borrowings to fund our operations.

Our total revenues decreased by $73.3 million to $73.7 million in 2012 with such reduction resulting primarily from decrease in product sales. Revenue from product sales decreased by $80.2 million to $49.6 million primarily from lower sales of ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline purchased from third parties which accounted for $90.2 million of the reduction, with a decrease in gallons sold and an increase in average selling price per gallon compared to 2011. We sold 2.3 million gallons of ethanol and 11.2 million gallons of reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline in the 2012 compared to 10.1 million gallons of ethanol and 36.4 million gallons of reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline sales in the prior year. Product sales of our farnesene-derived products increased by $10.0 million in 2012 compared to the prior year. Grants and collaborations revenue in 2012 increased by $6.9 million compared to the prior year primarily due to the revenue recognized upon the amendment of our collaboration agreement with Total which resulted in the recognition of approximately $9.8 million in collaboration revenue, partially offset by a decline in other collaboration revenue of $2.9 million.

Nearly all of our revenues in 2012 and 2011 have come from the sale of ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline with the remainder coming from renewable products as well as from collaborations and government grants. We transitioned out of the ethanol and ethanol-blended gasoline business during the third quarter of 2012. We do not expect to be able to replace much of the revenue lost in the near term as a result of this transition, particularly in 2013 while we continue our efforts to establish a renewable products business.

Cost of products sold consists primarily of cost of purchased ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline, terminal fees paid for storage and handling, transportation costs between terminals and changes in the fair value of derivative commodity instruments. Starting in the second quarter of 2011, our cost of products sold also included production costs of farnesene-derived products, which included cost of raw materials, amounts paid to contract manufacturers and period costs including inventory write-downs resulting from applying lower-of-cost-or-market inventory valuations. Cost of farnesene-derived products sold also includes certain costs related to the scale-up in production of such products. Our cost of products sold decreased by $78.3 million to $77.3 million in 2012 compared to the prior year. We had a decrease of $91.5 million in costs of ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline purchased from third parties primarily due to a decline in product volume partially offset by an increase in average unit cost. This decrease in cost of products sold for ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline was partially offset by an increase in product costs of farnesene-derived products of $13.2 million compared to the prior year as we scale up our renewable operations.

We transitioned out of our ethanol and gasoline business in the quarter ended September 30, 2012, which resulted in a reduction of cost of products sold. As we are now operating our own large-scale Biofene production plant in Brotas, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil as of December 2012, we will have a scale-up of production from this facility and the associated manufacturing costs. As we develop cost efficient manufacturing in our first production facility, we expect to seek to work selectively with other Brazilian sugar and ethanol producers to build additional facilities adjacent to their existing mills, thereby reducing the capital required to establish and scale our production operations.

Cost of Products Sold Associated with Loss on Purchase Commitments and Write-Off of Production Assets

Beginning in March 2012, we initiated a plan to shift a portion of our production capacity from contract manufacturing facilities to Amyris-owned plants that were then under construction. As a result, we evaluated our contract manufacturing agreements and, in the first quarter of 2012, recorded a loss of $31.2 million related to facility modification costs and fixed purchase commitments. We also recorded an impairment charge of $5.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 related to Amyris-owned equipment at contract manufacturing facilities, based on the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their fair value. We recognized additional charges of $1.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively, in the third and fourth quarter of 2012 associated with losses on fixed purchase commitments. We computed the loss on facility modification costs and fixed purchase commitments using the same approach that is used to value inventory the lower of cost or market value. The computation of the loss on firm purchase commitments is subject to several estimates, including the ultimate selling price of any of our products manufactured at the relevant production facilities, and is therefore inherently uncertain.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses decreased by $13.7 million in 2012 over the prior year, primarily as a result of overall lower spending. The decreases were attributable to a $5.7 million reduction in expenses associated with the completion of certain outsourced process development projects, a $2.5 million decrease in outsourced services resulting from completion of certain phases of our government grants project, $2.2 million reduction in outside consulting expenses, a $1.9 million decrease in personnel-related expenses associated with lower headcount, and a $0.9 million decrease in travel-related expenses and other overhead expenses. Research and development expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $6.5 million in 2012 compared to $6.3 million in 2011.

53




Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

Our sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by $4.5 million in 2012 compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease is attributable primarily to a $7.3 million reduction in spend for consulting and professional service fees and a $0.9 million decrease in travel-related expenses partially offset by a $3.6 million increase in personnel-related expenses associated with severance and transition costs and higher stock-based compensation. Sales, general and administrative expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $21.0 million and $19.1 million during 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Total other expense increased by approximately $3.4 million to $3.2 million in 2012 compared to the prior year. The increase in total other expense was related primarily to higher interest expense of $3.4 million associated with increased borrowings to fund our operations including capital expenditures for the coming year, a $0.9 million loss on the extinguishment of the $5.0 million debt associated with the December 2012 private placement, decrease in other income (expense), net for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $0.9 million from realized loss on foreign currency transactions, offset by income of $1.8 million attributable to the income from the change in fair value of the compound embedded derivative liabilities associated with our senior unsecured convertible promissory notes issued to Total of $3.1 million, offset by a $1.3 million loss recognized for the fair market value of a currency interest rate swap derivative liability. No corresponding amounts related to these transactions were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Working Capital. For the year ended December 31, 2013 , we had a working deficit of $0.4 million compared to working capital of $3.7 million for the year ended December 2012. The decrease of $4.1 million in working capital during 2013 is primarily due to cash usage to fund our operating expenses and, to a lesser extent, to service our debt obligations. This was in part offset by a reduction in accounts payable and accrued and other current liabilities of $12.1 million , a $4.4 million increase in accounts receivable and related party accounts receivable due to collaboration receivable, a $4.9 million increase in inventory. Inventory increased during the latter part of 2013 in order that we would have sufficient farnesene inventory while our Brotas plant goes through planned preventive maintenance during the first quarter of 2014.

To support production of our products in contract manufacturing and dedicated production facilities, we have incurred, and we expect to continue to incur, capital expenditures as we invest in these facilities. We plan to continue to seek external debt financing from U.S. and Brazilian sources to help fund our investment in these contract manufacturing and dedicated production facilities.

We expect to fund our operations for the foreseeable future with cash and investments currently on hand, with cash inflows from collaboration and grant funding, cash contributions from product sales, and with new debt and equity financings. Some of our anticipated financing sources, such as research and development collaborations and convertible debt financings, are subject to risk that we cannot meet milestones, are not yet subject to definitive agreements or mandatory funding commitments and, if needed, we may not be able to secure additional types of financing in a timely manner or on reasonable terms, if at all. Our planned 2014 working capital needs and our planned operating and capital expenditures for 2014 are dependent on significant inflows of cash from existing collaboration partners and from funds under existing convertible debt facilities, as well as additional funding from new collaborations, and may also require additional funding from debt or equity financings. We will continue to need to fund our research and development and related activities and to provide working capital to fund production, storage, distribution and other aspects of our business. Our operating plan contemplates capital expenditures of approximately $9.0 million in 2014.

Liquidity . We have incurred significant losses since our inception and believe that we will continue to incur losses and negative cash flow from operations into at least 2014. As of December 31, 2013 , we had an accumulated deficit of $821.4 million and had cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $8.3 million . We have significant outstanding debt and contractual obligations related to purchase commitments, as well as capital and operating leases. As of December 31, 2013 , our debt totaled $152.1 million , of which $6.4 million matures within the next twelve months. In addition, our debt agreements contain various covenants, including restrictions on business that could cause us to be at risk of defaults.

The Company’s operating plan for 2014 contemplates significant reduction in the Company’s net cash outflows, resulting from (i) revenue growth from sales of existing and new products with positive gross margins, (ii) reduced production costs compared to prior periods as a result of manufacturing and technical developments in 2013, (iii) cash inflows from collaborations consistent with levels achieved in 2013 and (iv) operating expenses maintained at reduced levels.


If we is unable to raise additional financing, or if other expected sources of funding are delayed or not received, we would take the following actions as early as the second quarter of 2014 to support its liquidity needs through the remainder of 2014 and into 2015:

Effect significant headcount reductions in the United States and in Brazil, particularly with respect to both general and administrative employees and other employees not connected to critical or contracted activities.

Shift its focus to existing products and customers with significantly reduced investment in new product and commercial development efforts.

Reduce its expenditures for third party contractors, including consultants, professional advisors and other vendors.

Suspend operations at its pilot plants and demonstration facilities.

Reduce or delay uncommitted capital expenditures, including non-essential lab equipment and information technology projects.

The contingency cash plan contemplating these actions is designed to save us an estimated $25.0 million to $35.0 million over the next twelve months. Implementing this plan could have a material negative impact on our ability to continue our business as currently contemplated, including, without limitation, delays or failures in its ability to:

Achieve planned production levels;

55




Develop and commercialize products within planned timelines or at planned scales; and

Continue other core activities.

Furthermore, any inability to scale-back operations as necessary, and any unexpected liquidity needs, could create pressure to implement more severe measures. Such measures could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet contractual requirements, including obligations to maintain manufacturing operations, and increase the severity of the consequences described above.

Collaboration Funding. In March 2013 , we signed a collaboration agreement with a collaboration partner that included a collaboration funding component and that resulted in an initial payment of $10 million in March 2013, and we obtained a commitment letter from Total with respect to additional convertible note funding (as described above under "Overview-Total Relationship") of which we received $10.0 million in proceeds in June 2013. We also received $20.0 million in funding through the sale of a convertible note in a private placement under an existing funding agreement with Total in July 2013. This purchase and sale completed Total's commitment to purchase $30.0 million of such notes by July 2013.

In addition to cash contributions from product sales and debt and equity financings, we depend on collaboration funding to support our operating expenses. While part of this funding is committed based on existing collaboration agreements, we will be required to identify and obtain funding under additional collaborations that are not yet subject to any definitive agreement or are not yet identified. In addition, some of our existing collaboration funding is subject to our achievement of milestones or other funding conditions.

If we cannot secure sufficient collaboration funding to support our operating expenses in excess of cash contributions from product sales and existing debt and equity financings, in order to raise sufficient funds to finance our ongoing operations, we may need to issue additional preferred and/or discounted equity, agree to onerous covenants, grant further security interests in our assets, enter into collaboration and licensing arrangements that require us to relinquish commercial rights or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we fail to secure such funding, we could be forced to curtail our operations, which would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue with our business plans and on our status as a going concern.

Government Contracts . In 2010, we were awarded a $24.3 million “Integrated Bio-Refinery” grant from the DOE. Under this grant, we were required to fund an additional $10.6 million in cost sharing expenses. Our obligation for this cost share was contingent on reimbursement for project costs incurred. The “Integrated Bio-Refinery” project from DOE was completed in the first quarter of 2013. Through December 31, 2013 , we had recognized the entire $24.3 million in revenue under this grant, of which $1.8 million was received in cash during the year ended December 31, 2013 .

In August 2010, we were appointed as a subcontractor to NREL under a DOE grant awarded to NREL. Under this contract, we have the right to be reimbursed for up to $3.6 million, and are required to fund an additional $1.4 million in cost sharing expenses. Through December 31, 2013 , we had recognized $3.6 million in revenue under this grant, of which $2.3 million was received in cash during the year ended December 31, 2013 .

In June 2012, we entered into a Technology Investment Agreement with DARPA, under which we are performing certain research and development activities funded in part by DARPA. The work is to be performed on a cost-share basis, where DARPA funds 90% of the work and we fund the remaining 10% (primarily by providing specified labor). The agreement provided for funding of up to approximately $7.7 million over two years based on achievement of program milestones, and, accordingly, if fully funded, we would be responsible for contributions equivalent to approximately $0.9 million . The agreement had an initial term of one year and at DARPA's option, may be renewed for an additional year. The agreement was renewed by DARPA in May 2013. Through December 31, 2013 , we had recognized $5.3 million in revenue under this agreement, of which $4.9 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2013 .

Convertible Note Offerings. In February 2012, we sold $25.0 million in principal amount of senior unsecured convertible promissory notes due March 1, 2017 . The notes have a 3.0% annual interest rate and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $7.0682 per share, subject to adjustment for proportional adjustments to outstanding common stock and anti-dilution provisions in case of dividends and distributions. The note holders have a right to require repayment of 101% of the principal amount of the notes in an acquisition of Amyris, and the notes provide for payment of unpaid interest on conversion following such an acquisition if the note holders do not require such repayment. The securities purchase agreement and notes include covenants regarding payment of interest, maintaining our listing status, limitations on debt, maintenance of corporate existence, and filing of SEC reports. The notes include standard events of default resulting in acceleration of indebtedness, including

56



failure to pay, bankruptcy and insolvency, cross-defaults, and breaches of the covenants in the securities purchase agreement and notes, with default interest rates and associated cure periods applicable to the covenant regarding SEC reporting.

In July and September 2012, we issued $53.3 million worth of senior unsecured convertible notes to Total for an aggregate of $30.0 million in cash proceeds and our repayment of $23.3 million in previously-provided research and development funds as described in more detail in Note 5, "Debt" and Note 8, "Significant Agreements". As part of the December 2012 private placement, 1,677,852 shares of our common stock were issued in exchange for the cancellation of $5.0 million worth of an outstanding senior unsecured convertible promissory note held by Total.

In August 2013, we entered into an agreement with Total and Temasek to sell up to $73.0 million in convertible promissory notes in private placements over a period of up to 24 months from the date of signing (referred to as the August 2013 SPA and such financing is referred to as the August 2013 Financing). The August 2013 Financing was divided into two tranches (one for $42.6 million and one for $30.4 million), each with differing closing conditions. Of the total possible purchase price in the financing, $60.0 million was to be paid in the form of cash by Temasek ($35.0 million in the first tranche and up to $25.0 million in the second tranche) and $13.0 million was to be paid by cancellation of outstanding convertible promissory notes held by Total in connection with its exercise of pro rata rights ($7.6 million in the first tranche and $5.4 million in the second tranche).

In September 2013, prior to the initial closing of the August 2013 Financing, our stockholders approved the issuance in the private placement of up to $110.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior convertible promissory notes, the issuance of a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock and the issuance of the common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of such notes and warrant, which approval included the transactions contemplated by the August 2013 Financing.

In September 2013, we entered into a bridge loan agreement with an existing investor to provide additional cash availability of up to $5.0 million as needed before the initial closing of the August 2013 Financing. The bridge loan agreement provided for the sale of up to $5.0 million in principal amount of unsecured convertible notes at any time prior to October 31, 2013 following the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including that we pay an availability fee for the bridge loan. We did not use this facility and it expired in October 2013 in accordance with its terms.

In October 2013, we sold and issued a senior secured promissory note to Temasek for a bridge loan of $35.0 million (referred to as the Temasek Bridge Note). The note was due on February 2, 2014 and accrued interest at a rate of 5.5% each four months from October 4, 2013 (with a rate of 2% per month applicable if a default occurred). The note was cancelled as payment for Temasek's purchase of a first tranche convertible note in the initial closing of the August 2013 Financing.

In October 2013, we amended the August 2013 SPA to include the Fidelity Entities in the first tranche in the principal amount of $7.6 million, and to proportionally increase the amount acquired by exchange and cancellation of outstanding convertible promissory notes by Total to $14.6 million ($9.2 million in the first tranche and up to $5.4 million in the second tranche). Also in October 2013, we completed the closing of the Tranche I Notes for cash proceeds of $7.6 million and cancellation of outstanding convertible promissory notes of $44.2 million, of which $35.0 million resulted from the cancellation of the Temasek Bridge Note. In December 2013, we agreed to place $3.0 million of senior convertible notes under the second tranche of the August 2013 Financing to funds affiliated with Wolverine Asset Management (or Wolverine) and we elected to call $25.0 million in additional funds from Temasek pursuant to its previous commitment to purchase such amount of convertible promissory notes in the second tranche. Additionally, in December 2013, we agreed to sell approximately $6.0 million of convertible promissory notes in the second tranche to Total through cancellation of the same amount of principal of previously outstanding convertible notes held by Total (in respect of Total’s preexisting contractual right to maintain its pro rata ownership position through such cancellation of indebtedness). In January 2015, we completed the offering of such convertible promissory notes in the second tranche.

Export Financing with ABC Brasil. In March 2013, we entered into an export financing agreement with Banco ABC Brasil S.A. (or ABC) for approximately $2.5 million, to fund exports through March 2014. As of December 31, 2013 , the principal amount outstanding was $2.5 million. This loan is collateralized by future exports from our subsidiary in Brazil.

In March 2014, we entered into an export financing agreement with ABC Bank for R$5.0 million (approximately US$2.2 million based on exchange rate as of March 28, 2014) for a 1 year-term to fund exports through March 2015.

Banco Pine Loans . In December 2011, we received a loan of R$35.0 million (approximately US$14.9 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) from Banco Pine. Such loan was an advance on an anticipated 2012 financing from Nossa Caixa Desenvolvimento (or Nossa Caixa), the São Paulo State development bank, and Banco Pine, under which Banco Pine and Nossa Caixa would provide us with loans of up to approximately R$52.0 million (approximately $25.6 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) as financing for capital expenditures relating to our manufacturing facility in Brotas. The maturity date for this loan was originally February 17, 2012; however, in February 2012, we entered into a supplemental agreement

57



with Banco Pine under which the parties agreed to extend the maturity date for the repayment of the original loan from February 17, 2012 to May 17, 2012, and in May 2012, we entered into an additional supplemental extending the maturity date to August 15, 2012 . This loan was repaid in July 2012.

In June 2012, we entered into a separate loan agreement with Banco Pine under which Banco Pine provided a bridge loan of R$52.0 million (approximately US$22.2 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). The bridge loan was an additional advance on the anticipated Banco Pine and Nossa Caixa financing described above. The interest rate for the bridge loan was 0.4472% monthly (approximately 5.5% on an annualized basis). The principal and interest of this bridge loan matured and were required to be repaid on September 19, 2012 , subject to extension by Banco Pine. This bridge loan was repaid in July 2012.

We secured these loans to allow us to continue construction and process development at our manufacturing facility in Brotas, Brazil and we expect to seek additional loans from this bank and others in order to be able to fund the establishment of other plants in Brazil and elsewhere.

Banco Pine/Nossa Caixa Financing . In July 2012, we entered into a Note of Bank Credit and a Fiduciary Conveyance of Movable Goods agreement with each of Nossa Caixa Desenvolvimento (or Nossa Caixa) and Banco Pine S.A. (or Banco Pine). Under these instruments, we borrowed an aggregate of R$52.0 million (approximately US$22.2 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) as financing for capital expenditures relating to our manufacturing facility in Brotas, Brazil. Under the loan agreements, Banco Pine agreed to lend R$22.0 million and Nossa Caixa agreed to lend R$30.0 million . The loans have a final maturity date of July 15, 2022 and bear a fixed interest rate of 5.5% per year. The loans are also subject to early maturity and delinquency charges upon occurrence of certain events including interruption of manufacturing activities at our manufacturing facility in Brotas, Brazil for more than 30 days, except during sugarcane off-season. The loans are secured by certain of our farnesene production assets at the manufacturing facility in Brotas, Brazil and we were required to provide parent guarantees to each of the lenders.

BNDES Credit Facility . In December 2011, we entered into a credit facility with Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (or BNDES), a government-owned bank headquartered in Brazil (referred to as the BNDES Credit Facility) to finance a production site in Brazil. The BNDES Credit Facility was for R$22.4 million (approximately US$9.6 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). This BNDES Credit Facility was extended as project financing for a production site in Brazil. The credit line is divided into an initial tranche for up to approximately R$19.1 million and an additional tranche of approximately R$3.3 million that becomes available upon delivery of additional guarantees. The credit line is available for 12 months from the date of the Credit Agreement for the BNDES Credit Facility, subject to extension by the lender.

The principal of loans under the BNDES Credit Facility is required to be repaid in 60 monthly installments, with the first installment due in January 2013 and the last due in December 2017. Interest was initially due on a quarterly basis with the first installment due in March 2012. From and after January 2013, interest payments will be due on a monthly basis together with principal payments. The loaned amounts carry interest of 7% per year. Additionally, a credit reserve charge of 0.1% on the unused balance from each credit installment from the day immediately after it is made available through its date of use, when it is paid.
 
The BNDES Credit Facility is collateralized by first priority security interest in certain of our equipment and other tangible assets totaling R$24.9 million (approximately US$10.6 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). We are a parent guarantor for the payment of the outstanding balance under the BNDES Credit Facility. Additionally, we were required to provide a bank guarantee equal to 10% of the total approved amount ( R$22.4 million in total debt) available under the BNDES Credit Facility. For advances in the second tranche (above R$19.1 million ), we are required to provide additional bank guarantees equal to 90% of each such advance, plus additional Amyris guarantees equal to at least 130% of such advance. The BNDES Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including payment failures, failure to satisfy other obligations under the credit facility or related documents, defaults in respect of other indebtedness, bankruptcy, insolvency and inability to pay debts when due, material judgments, and changes in control of Amyris Brasil. If any event of default occurs, BNDES may terminate its commitments and declare immediately due all borrowings under the facility. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , the Company had R$15.3 million (approximately US$6.5 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) and R$19.1 million (approximately US$9.3 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2012 ), respectively, in outstanding advances under the BNDES Credit Facility.

FINEP Credit Facility. In November 2010, we entered into a credit facility with Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (or FINEP), a state-owned company subordinated to the Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology (referred to as the FINEP Credit Facility) to finance a research and development project on sugarcane-based biodiesel (referred to as the FINEP Project) and provided for loans of up to an aggregate principal amount of R$6.4 million (approximately US$2.7 million based on the

58



exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) which are secured by a chattel mortgage on certain equipment of Amyris as well as by bank letters of guarantee. All available credit under this facility was fully drawn.

Interest on loans drawn under the FINEP Credit Facility is fixed at 5.0% per annum. In case of default under, or non-compliance with, the terms of the agreement, the interest on loans will be dependent on the long-term interest rate as published by the Central Bank of Brazil (such rate, the TJLP). If the TJLP at the time of default is greater than 6%, then the interest will be 5.0% plus a TJLP adjustment factor otherwise the interest will be at 11.0% per annum. In addition, a fine of up to 10.0% will apply to the amount of any obligation in default. Interest on late balances will be 1.0% interest per month, levied on the overdue amount. Payment of the outstanding loan balance will be made in 81 monthly installments, which commenced in July 2012 and extends through March 2019. Interest on loans drawn and other charges are paid on a monthly basis and commenced in March 2011. As of December 31, 2013 , total outstanding loan balance under this credit facility was R$5.2 million (approximately $2.2 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ).

The FINEP Credit Facility contains the following significant terms and conditions:

We are required to share with FINEP the costs associated with the FINEP Project. At a minimum, we are required to contribute approximately R$14.5 million ( US$6.2 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) of which R$11.1 million was contributed prior to the release of the second disbursement. All four disbursements were completed and we had fulfilled all of our cost sharing obligations;
After the release of the first disbursement, prior to any subsequent drawdown from the FINEP Credit Facility, we were required to provide bank letters of guarantee of up to R$3.3 million in aggregate (approximately US$1.4 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) before receiving the second installment in December 2012. We obtained the bank letters of guarantee from ABC;
Amounts disbursed under the FINEP Credit Facility were required to be used towards the FINEP Project within 30 months after the contract execution.

The fair values of the notes payable, loan payable, convertible notes and credit facilities are based on the present value of expected future cash flows and assumptions about current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the Company that market participants would use in pricing the debt.

Hercules Loan Facility. In March 2014, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. to make available to Amyris a loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million (referred to as the Hercules Loan Facility). The Hercules Loan Facility generally becomes due on May 31, 2015 and accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of either the prime rate reported in the Wall Street Journal plus 6.25% or 9.5% . The maturity date is extended to May 31, 2017 if the Company completes a financing transaction for at least $50.0 million in additional cash proceeds by September 30, 2014 . The Company may repay the loaned amounts before the maturity date if it pays an additional fee of 3% of the outstanding loans ( 1% if after the initial twelve-month period). The Company is also required to pay a 1% facility charge at the closing of the transaction, and a 10% end of term charge. In connection with the Hercules Loan Facility, Amyris agreed to certain customary representations and warranties and covenants, as well as certain covenants with respect to obtaining additional financing as described above and performance covenants related to revenues and cash flows starting with the third quarter of 2014. If the Company does not achieve the equity financing covenant, a forbearance fee of $10.0 million becomes due and is required to be paid at the end of the initial term of the facility.

Common Stock Offerings. In February 2012, we sold 10,160,325 shares of our common stock in a private placement for aggregate offering proceeds of $58.7 million .

In May 2012, we completed a private placement of 1,736,100 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash proceeds of $4.1 million .

In December 2012, we completed a private placement of 14,177,849 shares common stock for aggregate proceeds of $37.2 million , of which $22.2 million in cash was received in December 2012 and $15.0 million in cash was received in January 2013. As part of this private placement, 1,677,852 of such shares were issued to Total in exchange for the cancellation of $5.0 million worth of an outstanding senior unsecured convertible promissory note we previously issued to Total.

In March 2013, we completed a private placement of 1,533,742 of our common stock to Biolding for aggregate proceeds of $5.0 million. This private placement represented the final tranche of Biolding's preexisting contractual obligation to fund $15.0 million upon satisfaction by us of certain criteria associated with the commissioning of our production plant in Brotas, Brazil.


59



In March 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Kuraray Co., Ltd. under which the we agreed to sell shares of its common stock at a price equal to the greater of $2.88 per share or the average daily closing prices per share on the NASDAQ Stock Market for the three month period ending March 27, 2014 for an aggregate purchase price of $4.0 million .

This table does not reflect non-reimbursable expenses that we expect to incur in 2014 in connection with research activities under the NREL subcontract discussed above under the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Government Contracts."

Additionally, this table does not reflect the expenses that we expect to incur in 2014 in connection with research activities under DARPA under which we will perform certain research and development activities funded in part by DARPA. The work is to be performed on a cost-share basis, where DARPA funds 90% of the work and we fund the remaining 10% (primarily by providing specified labor). Under the agreement, we could receive funding of up to approximately $7.7 million over two years based on achievement of program milestones, and, accordingly, we would be responsible for contributions equivalent to approximately $0.9 million .

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The information contained in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements under the heading "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" is hereby incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 7.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The market risk inherent in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in: commodity market prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates as described below.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and our outstanding debt obligations. We generally invest our cash in investments with short maturities or with frequent interest reset terms. Accordingly, our interest income fluctuates with short-term market conditions. As of December 31, 2013 , our investment portfolio consisted primarily of money market funds and certificates of deposit, all of which are highly liquid investments. Due to the short-term nature of our investment portfolio, our exposure to interest rate risk is minimal. Additionally, as of December 31, 2013 , 100% of our outstanding debt is in fixed rate instruments.

Foreign Currency Risk

Most of our sales contracts are principally denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, our revenues are not currently subject to significant foreign currency risk. The functional currency of our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary in Brazil is the local currency (Brazilian real) in which recurring business transactions occur. We do not use currency exchange contracts as hedges against amounts permanently invested in our foreign subsidiary. The amount we consider permanently invested in our foreign subsidiary and translated into U.S. dollars using the year end exchange rate is $145.2 million at December 31, 2013 and $76.7 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in the permanent investments in our foreign subsidiary between 2012 and 2013 is due to additional capital contributions made which includes the conversion of approximately R$89.7 million (US$39.7 million based on the exchanges rate as of December 31, 2013) of intercompany loans into equity in our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary in Brazil which is partially offset by the depreciation of the Brazilian real versus the U.S. dollar and an increase in accumulated deficit of our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary in Brazil. The potential loss in fair value, which would principally be recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted Brazilian real exchange rates is $14.5 million and $7.7 million for 2013 and 2012, respectively. Actual results may differ.

We make limited use of derivative instruments, which includes currency interest rate swap agreements, to manage the Company's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate related to the Company's Banco Pine loan. In June 2012, we entered into a currency interest rate swap arrangement with Banco Pine for R$22.0 million (approximately US$9.4 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). The swap arrangement exchanges the principal and interest payments under the Banco Pine loan entered into in July 2012 for alternative principal and interest payments that are subject to adjustment based on fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Brazilian real. The swap has a fixed interest rate of 3.94% . This arrangement hedges the fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Brazilian real.

Commodity Price Risk

Our primary exposure to market risk for changes in commodity prices currently relates to our purchases of sugar feedstocks. When possible, we manage our exposure to this risk primarily through the use of supplier pricing agreements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Amyris, Inc.:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Amyris, Inc and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Amyris, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 

1. The Company

Amyris, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in California on July 17, 2003 and reincorporated in Delaware on June 10, 2010 for the purpose of leveraging breakthroughs in synthetic biology to develop and provide renewable compounds for a variety of markets. The Company is currently building and applying its industrial synthetic biology platform to provide alternatives to select petroleum-sourced products used in specialty chemical and transportation fuel markets worldwide. The Company's first commercialization efforts have been focused on a renewable hydrocarbon molecule called farnesene (Biofene®), which forms the basis for a wide range of products varying from specialty chemical applications to transportation fuels, such as diesel. While the Company's platform is able to use a wide variety of feedstocks, the Company is focused initially on Brazilian sugarcane. In addition, the Company has entered into various contract manufacturing agreements to support commercial production. The Company has established two principal operating subsidiaries, Amyris Brasil Ltda. (formerly Amyris Brasil S.A., or Amyris Brasil) for production in Brazil, and Amyris Fuels, LLC (or Amyris Fuels). Nearly all of the Company's revenues through 2012 came from the sale of ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline with substantially all of the remaining revenues coming from collaborations, government grants and sales of renewable products. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company transitioned out of the ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline business. The Company does not expect to be able to replace much of the revenue lost in the near term as a result of this transition, while it continues its efforts to establish a renewable products business.

The Company's renewable products business strategy is to focus on direct commercialization of specialty products while moving established commodity products into joint venture arrangements with leading industry partners. To commercialize its products, the Company must be successful in using its technology to manufacture its products at commercial scale and on an economically viable basis (i.e., low per unit production costs). The Company is building its experience producing renewable products at commercial scale. The Company's prospects are subject to risks, expenses and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in this stage of development.

The Company expects to fund its operations for the foreseeable future with cash and investments currently on hand, with cash inflows from collaboration and grant funding, cash contributions from product sales, and with new debt and equity financings. The Company's planned 2014 and 2015 working capital needs and its planned operating and capital expenditures are dependent on significant inflows of cash from existing collaboration partners and from funds under an existing convertible debt facility, as well as additional funding from new collaborations, and may also require additional funding from debt or equity financings. The Company will continue to need to fund its research and development and related activities and to provide working capital to fund production, storage, distribution and other aspects of its business. The Company's operating plan contemplates capital expenditures of approximately $9.0 million in 2014 and the Company expects to continue to incur costs in connection with its existing contract manufacturing arrangements.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and believes that it will continue to incur losses and negative cash flow from operations into at least 2014. As of December 31, 2013 , the Company had an accumulated deficit of $821.4 million and had cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $8.3 million . The Company has significant outstanding debt and contractual obligations related to purchase commitments, as well as capital and operating leases. As of December 31, 2013 , the Company's debt, net of discount of $27.9 million , totaled $152.1 million , of which $6.4 million matures within the next twelve months. In addition, the Company's debt agreements contain various covenants, including restrictions on the Company's business that could cause the Company to be at risk of defaults. Please refer to Note 5, “Debt” and Note 6, “Commitments and Contingencies” for further details regarding the Company's obligations and commitments.
                               
The Company’s operating plan for 2014 contemplates significant reduction in the Company’s net cash outflows, resulting from (i) revenue growth from sales of existing and new products with positive gross margins, (ii) reduced production costs compared to prior periods as a result of manufacturing and technical developments in 2013, (iii) cash inflows from collaborations consistent with levels achieved in 2013 and (iv) operating expenses maintained at reduced levels.

 



73



In addition to cash contributions from product sales and debt and equity financings, the Company also depends on collaboration funding to support its operating expenses. While part of this funding is committed based on existing collaboration agreements, the Company will need to identify and obtain funding under additional collaborations that are not yet subject to any definitive agreement or are not yet identified. In addition, some of the Company’s existing collaboration funding is subject to achievement by the Company of milestones or other funding conditions.

If the Company cannot secure sufficient collaboration funding to support its operating expenses in excess of cash contributions from product sales and existing debt and equity financings, it may need to issue additional preferred and/or discounted equity, agree to onerous covenants, grant further security interest in its assets, enter into collaboration and licensing arrangements that require it to relinquish commercial rights, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable. If the Company fails to secure such funding, the Company could be forced to curtail its operations, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue with its business plans, and the Company's status as a going concern.

If the Company is unable to raise additional financing, or if other expected sources of funding are delayed or not received, the Company would take the following actions as early as the second quarter of 2014 to support its liquidity needs through the remainder of 2014 and into 2015:

Effect significant headcount reductions in the United States and in Brazil, particularly with respect to both general and administrative employees and other employees not connected to critical or contracted activities.

Shift its focus to existing products and customers with significantly reduced investment in new product and commercial development efforts.

Reduce its expenditures for third party contractors, including consultants, professional advisors and other vendors.

Suspend operations at its pilot plants and demonstration facilities.

Reduce or delay uncommitted capital expenditures, including non-essential lab equipment and information technology projects.

The contingency cash plan contemplating these actions is designed to save the Company an estimated $25.0 million to $35.0 million over the next twelve months. Implementing this plan could have a material negative impact on the Company's ability to continue its business as currently contemplated, including, without limitation, delays or failures in its ability to:

Achieve planned production levels;

Develop and commercialize products within planned timelines or at planned scales; and

Continue other core activities.

Furthermore, any inability to scale-back operations as necessary, and any unexpected liquidity needs, could create pressure to implement more severe measures. Such measures could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to meet contractual requirements, including obligations to maintain manufacturing operations, and increase the severity of the consequences described above.


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions for Form 10-K and Regulations S-X. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Principles of Consolidations

The Company has interests in joint venture entities that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity requires judgment in assessing (i) whether an entity is a VIE and (ii) if the Company is the entity’s primary beneficiary and thus required to consolidate the entity. To determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company evaluates whether it has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company’s evaluation includes identification of significant activities and an assessment of its ability to direct those activities based on governance provisions and arrangements to provide or receive product and process technology, product supply, operations services, equity funding and financing and other applicable agreements and circumstances. The Company’s assessment of whether it is the primary beneficiary of its VIEs requires significant assumptions and judgment.


74



The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Amyris, Inc., its subsidiaries and two consolidated VIEs with respect to which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Disclosure regarding the Company’s participation in the VIEs is included in Note 7, " Joint Venture and Noncontrolling Interest."

Use of Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash equivalents and investments with high credit quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers, does not require collateral, and maintains allowances for potential credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Where available, fair value is based on or derived from observable market prices or other observable inputs. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation

75



techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity.

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, such as cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The fair values of the notes payable, loan payable, convertible notes and credit facility are based on the present value of expected future cash flows and assumptions about current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the Company.

The Company estimate the fair value of the compound embedded derivatives for the convertible promissory notes to Total (refer to Note 5, "Debt" for further details) using the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model that combines expected cash outflows with market-based assumptions regarding risk-adjusted yields, stock price volatility, probability of a change of control and the trading information of the Company's common stock into which the notes are convertible.

The Company estimates the fair value of the compound embedded derivative for the Tranche I Notes using the binomial lattice model in order to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative in the Tranche I convertible notes. A binomial lattice model generates two probable outcomes - one up and another down - arising at each point in time, starting from the date of valuation until the maturity date. A lattice model was initially used to determine if the convertible notes would be converted, called or held at each decision point. Within the lattice model, the following assumptions are made: (i) the convertible notes will be converted early if the conversion value is greater than the holding value; or (ii) the convertible notes will be called if the holding value is greater than both (a) redemption price and (b) the conversion value at the time. If the convertible notes are called, then the holder will maximize their value by finding the optimal decision between (1) redeeming at the redemption price and (2) converting the convertible notes. Using this lattice method, the Company fair valued the embedded derivatives using the "with-and-without method", where the fair value of the convertible notes including the embedded derivatives is defined as the "with", and the value of the convertible notes excluding the embedded derivatives is defined as the "without". This method estimates the fair value of the embedded derivative by looking at the difference in the fair values between the convertible notes with the embedded derivative and the fair value of the convertible notes without the embedded derivative. The lattice model uses the stock price, conversion rate, conversion price, maturity date, risk-free interest rate, estimated stock volatility and estimated credit spread.

Changes in the inputs into these valuation models have a significant impact in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives. For example, a decrease (increase) in the estimated credit spread for the Company results in an increase (decrease) in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives. Conversely, a decrease (increase) in the stock price results in a decrease (increase) in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives. The changes during 2013 in the fair value of the bifurcated compound embedded derivative is primarily related to the change in price of the Company's underlying common stock and is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as “Income (loss) from change in fair value of derivative instruments.”

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of 90 days or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market funds and certificates of deposit.

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company determines this allowance based on specific doubtful account identification and management judgment on estimated exposure. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when it determines a balance is uncollectible and no longer actively pursues collection of the receivable. 

Investments

Investments with original maturities greater than 90 days that mature less than 1 year from the consolidated balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments. The Company classifies investments as short-term or long-term based upon whether such assets are reasonably expected to be realized in cash or sold or consumed during the normal cycle of business. The Company invests its excess cash balances primarily in certificates of deposit. Certificates of deposits that have maturities greater than 90 days that mature less than one year from the consolidated balance sheet date are classified as short term investments. The Company classifies all of its investments as available-for-sale and records such assets at estimated fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, with unrealized gains and losses, if any, reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity (deficit). Debt securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts and such amortization and accretion are reported as a component of interest income. Realized gains and losses and declines in value that are considered to be other-than-temporary are recognized in the statements of operations. The cost of securities sold is determined

76



on the specific identification method. There were no significant realized gains or losses from sales of debt securities during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 . As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , the Company did not have any other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of its debt securities.

Restricted Cash

Cash accounts that are restricted to withdrawal or usage are presented as restricted cash. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , the Company had $1.6 million and $1.0 million , respectively, of restricted cash held by a bank in a certificate of deposit as collateral under a facility lease and bank guarantees.

Inventories

Inventories, which consist of farnesene-derived products, as well as ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline, are stated at the lower of cost or market and categorized as finished goods, work-in-process or raw material inventories. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company sold its remaining inventory of ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline as it transitioned out of this business. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its inventories based on assumptions about expected demand and net realizable value. If the Company determines that the cost of inventories exceeds its estimated net realizable value, the Company records a write-down equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and the estimated net realizable value. If actual net realizable values are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required that could negatively impact the Company's operating results. If actual net realizable values are more favorable, the Company may have favorable operating results when products that have been previously written down are sold in the normal course of business. The Company also evaluates the terms of its agreements with its suppliers and establishes accruals for estimated losses on adverse purchase commitments as necessary, applying the same lower of cost or market approach that is used to value inventory. Cost is computed on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory costs include transportation costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing location.

Derivative Instruments

The Company makes limited use of derivative instruments, which includes currency interest rate swap agreements to manage the Company's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate fluctuations related to the Company's Banco Pine S.A. loan (discussed below under Note 5, "Debt"). Through the third quarter of 2012, the Company held futures positions on the New York Mercantile Exchange and the CME/Chicago Board of Trade to mitigate the risks related to the price volatility of ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline but, as of September 30, 2012, the Company had transitioned out of that business and no longer held such derivative instruments. The Company does not engage in speculative derivative activities, and the purpose of its activity in derivative commodity instruments is to manage the financial risk posed by physical transactions and inventory. Changes in the fair value of the derivative contracts are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations.

Embedded Derivatives Related to Convertible Notes

Embedded derivatives that are required to be bifurcated from the underlying debt instrument (i.e. host) are accounted for and valued as a separate financial instrument. The Company evaluated the terms and features of the convertible notes payable and identified compound embedded derivatives (a conversion option that contains a “make-whole interest” provision and down round conversion price adjustment provisions) requiring bifurcation and accounting at fair value because the economic and contractual characteristics of the embedded derivatives met the criteria for bifurcation and separate accounting due to the conversion option containing a “make-whole interest” provision, that requires cash payment for forgone interest upon a change of control and down round conversion price adjustment provisions.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The fair value of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. In addition, asset retirement cost is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is amortized over the life of the asset. The Company’s asset retirement obligations were associated with its commitment to return property subject to an operating lease in Brazil to its original condition upon lease termination. In October 2012, this operating lease was amended which included an amendment to the terms of restitution of the property under lease. As a result of this amendment, the Company no longer has asset retirement obligations and therefore reversed the previously accrued liabilities.
 

77



As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , the Company had no asset retirement obligations. The related leasehold improvements are being amortized to depreciation expense over the term of the lease or the useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. Related amortization expense was zero , $0.2 million , and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized.

Depreciation and amortization periods for the Company’s property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Machinery and equipment
7-15 years
Buildings
15 years
Computers and software
3-5 years
Furniture and office equipment
5 years
Vehicles
5 years

Buildings and leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease, or the useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.

Computers and software includes internal-use software that is acquired to meet the Company’s needs. Amortization commences when the software is ready for its intended use and the amortization period is the estimated useful life of the software, generally 3 to 5 years. Capitalized costs primarily include contract labor and payroll costs of the individuals dedicated to the installation of internal-use software.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or the estimated useful life is no longer appropriate. If indicators of impairment exist and the undiscounted projected cash flows associated with such assets are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded to write the asset down to their estimated fair values. Fair value is estimated based on discounted future cash flows. There were $7.7 million , $6.4 million and zero , respectively, of impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , respectively.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets  

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired from business combinations. Intangible assets are comprised primarily of in-process research and development (or IPR&D). The Company makes significant judgments in relation to the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business combinations.

78




 
There are several methods that can be used to determine the estimated fair value of the IPR&D acquired in a business combination. We used the "income method," which applies a probability weighting that considers the risk of development and commercialization, to the estimated future net cash flows that are derived from projected sales revenues and estimated costs. These projections are based on factors such as relevant market size, pricing of similar products, and expected industry trends. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted to the present value using an appropriate discount rate. These assets are treated as indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the projects, at which time the assets will be amortized over the remaining useful life or written off, as appropriate.

 
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are assessed for impairment using fair value measurement techniques on an annual basis or more frequently if facts and circumstance warrant such a review. When required, a comparison of fair value to the carrying amount of assets is performed to determine the amount of any impairment.

 
The Company evaluates its intangible assets with finite lives for indications of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Intangible assets consist of purchased licenses and permits and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization of intangible assets was zero , $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , respectively. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant under-performance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company's overall business or significant negative industry or economic trends. If this evaluation indicates that the value of the intangible asset may be impaired, we make an assessment of the recoverability of the net carrying value of the asset over its remaining useful life. If this assessment indicates that the intangible asset is not recoverable, based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the technology over the remaining amortization period, we reduce the net carrying value of the related intangible asset to fair value and may adjust the remaining amortization period. Any such impairment charge could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's reported financial results. The Company has not recognized any impairment charges on its intangible assets through December 31, 2013 .

In-Process Research and Development

 
During 2011, the Company recorded IPR&D of $8.6 million related to the acquisition of Draths. Amounts recorded as IPR&D will begin being amortized upon first sales of the product over the estimated useful life of the technology. In accordance with authoritative guidance, as the technology has not yet been proven, the amortization of the acquired IPR&D has not begun. The Company estimates that it could take up to three years before it will have viable products resulting from the acquired technology.

Noncontrolling Interest

Changes in noncontrolling interest ownership that do not result in a change of control and where there is a difference between fair value and carrying value are accounted for as equity transactions. In April 2010, the Company entered into a joint venture with São Martinho S.A. (or SMSA), a legal successor by spin-off of Usina São Martinho S.A. The carrying value of the noncontrolling interest from this joint venture is recorded in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 7, "Joint Venture and Noncontrolling Interest"). In January 2011, the Company entered into a production service agreement with Glycotech, Inc. (or Glycotech). The Company has determined that the arrangement with Glycotech qualifies as a VIE. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary. The carrying value of the noncontrolling interest from this VIE is recorded in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 7, "Joint Venture and Noncontrolling Interest").

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of farnesene-derived products, delivery of research and development services, and from governmental grants. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

If sales arrangements contain multiple elements, the Company evaluates whether the components of each arrangement represent separate units of accounting.


79



Product Sales

Beginning in the second quarter of 2011, the Company began to sell farnesene-derived products, which were produced by contracted third parties. Through the third quarter of 2012, the Company also sold ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline under short-term agreements at prevailing market prices. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had transitioned out of that business. Ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline sales consisted of sales to customers through purchases from third-party suppliers in which the Company took physical control of the ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline and accepted risk of loss. The Company's renewable product sales do not include rights of return. Returns are only accepted if the product does not meet product specifications and such nonconformity is communicated to the Company within a set number of days of delivery. The Company offers a two year standard warranty provision for squalane products sold after March 31, 2012, if the products do not meet Company-established criteria as set forth in the Company's trade terms. The Company bases its return reserve on a combination of historical rate of return for the Company's squalane products and historical returns for companies in the cosmetics industry since the Company did not have a full two years of historical return data. Revenues are recognized, net of discounts and allowances, once passage of title and risk of loss has occurred and contractually specified acceptance criteria have been met, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have also been met.

Grants and Collaborative Revenue

Revenue from collaborative research services is recognized as the services are performed consistent with the performance requirements of the contract. In cases where the planned levels of research services fluctuate over the research term, the Company recognizes revenue using the proportionate performance method based upon actual efforts to date relative to the amount of expected effort to be incurred by the Company. When up-front payments are received and the planned levels of research services do not fluctuate over the research term, revenue is recorded on a ratable basis over the arrangement term, up to the amount of cash received. When up-front payments are received and the planned levels of research services fluctuate over the research term, revenue is recorded using the proportionate performance method, up to the amount of cash received. Where arrangements include milestones that are determined to be substantive and at risk at the inception of the arrangement, revenue is recognized upon achievement of the milestone and is limited to those amounts whereby collectibility is reasonably assured.

Government grants are agreements that generally provide cost reimbursement for certain types of expenditures in return for research and development activities over a contractually defined period. Revenues from government grants are recognized in the period during which the related costs are incurred, provided that the conditions under which the government grants were provided have been met and only perfunctory obligations are outstanding. Under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (or DARPA) contract signed in June 2012, the Company received funding based on achievement of program milestones. Accordingly, the Company recognized revenue using the proportionate performance method based upon actual efforts to date relative to the amount of expected effort to be incurred, up to the amount of verified payable milestones.

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold includes production costs of farnesene-derived products, which include cost of raw materials, amounts paid to contract manufacturers and period costs including inventory write-downs resulting from applying lower-of-cost-or-market inventory valuation. Cost of farnesene-derived products sold also includes certain costs related to the scale-up in production of such products. Through the third quarter of 2012, cost of products sold consisted primarily of cost of purchased ethanol and reformulated ethanol-blended gasoline, terminal fees paid for storage and handling, transportation costs between terminals and changes in the fair value of derivative commodity instruments. The Company transitioned out of its ethanol and gasoline business in the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are recorded as revenues. Shipping costs are included in cost of products sold. Such charges were not significant in any of the periods presented.

Costs of Start-Up Activities

Start-up activities are defined as those one-time activities related to opening a new facility, introducing a new product or service, conducting business in a new territory, conducting business with a new class of customer or beneficiary, initiating a new process in an existing facility, commencing some new operation or activities related to organizing a new entity. All the costs associated with start-up activities related to a potential facility are expensed and recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses until the facility is considered viable by management, at which time costs would be considered for capitalization based on authoritative accounting literature.


80



Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include costs associated with research performed pursuant to collaborative agreements and government grants. Research and development costs consist of direct and indirect internal costs related to specific projects as well as fees paid to others that conduct certain research activities on the Company’s behalf.
 
Debt Extinguishment

The Company accounts for the income or loss from extinguishment of debt in accordance with ASC 470, "Debt", which indicates that for all extinguishment of debt, the difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the debt being extinguished should be recognized as gain or loss when the debt is extinguished. The gain or loss from debt extinguishment is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations under "other income (expense)" as "income (loss) from extinguishment of debt".

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires, among other things, that deferred income taxes be provided for temporary differences between the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts. In addition, deferred tax assets are recorded for the future benefit of utilizing net operating losses and research and development credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that they will be realized.

The Company recognizes and measures uncertain tax positions in accordance with Income Taxes subtopic 05-6 of ASC 740, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken in a tax return, in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the guidance also prescribes treatment for the derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The Company accrues for the estimated amount of taxes for uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to pay such additional taxes. An uncertain tax position will not be recognized if it has a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained.

Currency Translation

The Company consider the local currency to be the functional currency of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil and of the Company's joint venture. Accordingly, asset and liability accounts of those operations are translated into United States dollars using the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and equity accounts are translated into United States dollars using historical rates. The revenues and expenses are translated using the exchange rates in effect when the transactions occur. Gains and losses from foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements with employees using a fair value method which requires the recognition of compensation expense for costs related to all stock-based payments including stock options. The fair value method requires the Company to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted, which is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company accounts for restricted stock unit awards issued to employees based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

The Company accounts for stock options issued to nonemployees based on the estimated fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company accounts for restricted stock units issued to nonemployees based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest, and the resulting change in value, if any, is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations during the period the related services are rendered.


81



Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) represents all changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) except those resulting from investments or contributions by stockholders. The Company’s foreign currency translation adjustments represent the components of comprehensive income (loss) excluded from the Company’s net loss and have been disclosed in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for all periods presented.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders and Net Loss per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss attributable to Amyris, Inc. common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities, including stock options, restricted stock units, common stock warrants, using the treasury stock method or the as converted method, as applicable. For all periods presented, basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share because the inclusion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding was anti-dilutive. As such, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss are the same for each period presented.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock attributable to Amyris, Inc. common stockholders (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

The potentially dilutive effect of convertible promissory notes were computed based on conversion ratios in effect as of December 31, 2013. A portion of the convertible promissory notes issued carries a provision for a reduction in conversion price if certain condition fails to occur, which could potentially increase the dilutive shares outstanding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board and the FASB issued common disclosure requirements that are intended to enhance comparability between financial statements prepared on the basis of GAAP and those prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. In January 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to limit the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are offset in the financial statement or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement. While this guidance does not change existing offsetting criteria in GAAP or the permitted balance sheet presentation for items meeting the criteria, it requires an entity to disclose both net and gross information about assets and liabilities that have been offset and the related arrangements. Required disclosures under this new guidance should be provided retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued an amended accounting standard update to simplify how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment which improve consistency in impairment testing requirements among long-lived asset categories. The amended guidance permits an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. For assets in which this assessment concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value, then the amended guidance eliminates the requirement to perform quantitative impairment testing as outlined in the previously issued standards. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 and early adoption was permitted. The adoption of the amended guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2013, in connection with the accounting standard related to the presentation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income of various components. This guidance requires companies to present either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. This standard is effective for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued an amended accounting standard update on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The amended guidance provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit would be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The new guidance becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 and will be applied prospectively to unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date with retrospective applications permitted. The Company's current presentation of unrecognized tax benefits conforms with the amended guidance. Accordingly, there will be no impact to the Company resulting from the guidance.

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value are classified into the following categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

As of December 31, 2013 , the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are presented below at fair value and were classified within the fair value hierarchy as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The fair values of money market funds are based on fair values of identical assets. The fair values of the loans payable, convertible notes, credit facilities and currency interest rate swaps are based on the present value of expected future cash flows and assumptions about current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the Company. Market risk associated with the fixed and variable rate long-term debt relates to the potential reduction in fair value and negative impact to future earnings, respectively, from an increase in interest rates.

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, such as cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities, and low market interest rates, if applicable. The fair values of the loans payable, convertible notes and credit facilities are based on the present value of expected future cash flows and assumptions about current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the Company.

(1) Includes $0.8 million removal of derivative liability related to debt extinguishment.

The compound embedded derivative liability, represents the fair value of the equity conversion option and a "make-whole" provision of outstanding Total and Tranche I convertible promissory notes (see Note 5, "Debt"). There is no current observable market for this type of derivative and, as such, the Company determined the fair value of the embedded derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model for the Total Notes and the binomial lattice model for the Tranche I Notes. A Monte Carlo simulation valuation model combines expected cash outflows with market-based assumptions regarding risk-adjusted yields, stock price volatility, probability of a change of control and the trading information of the Company's common stock into which the notes are convertible. A binomial lattice model generates two probable outcomes - one up and another down - arising at each point in time, starting from the date of valuation until the maturity date. A lattice model was initially used to determine if the convertible notes would be converted, called or held at each decision point. Within the lattice model, the following assumptions are made: (i) the convertible notes will be converted early if the conversion value is greater than the holding value; or (ii) the convertible notes will be called if the holding value is greater than both (a) redemption price and (b) the conversion value at the time. If the convertible

85



notes are called, then the holder will maximize their value by finding the optimal decision between (1) redeeming at the redemption price and (2) converting the convertible notes. Using this lattice method, the Company valued the embedded derivative using the "with-and-without method", where the fair value of the convertible notes including the embedded derivative is defined as the "with", and the fair value of the convertible notes excluding the embedded derivative is defined as the "without". This method estimates the fair value of the embedded derivative by looking at the difference in the values between the convertible notes with the embedded derivative and the fair value of the convertible notes without the embedded derivative. The lattice model uses the stock price, conversion price, maturity date, risk-free interest rate, estimated stock volatility and estimated credit spread. The Company marks the compound embedded derivative to market due to the conversion price not being indexed to the Company's own stock. Except for the "make-whole interest" provision included in the conversion option, which is only required to be settled in cash upon a change of control at the noteholder's option, the compound embedded derivative will be settled in either cash or shares. As of December 31, 2013 , the Company has sufficient common stock available to settle the conversion option in shares.As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , included in Derivative Liability on the consolidated balance sheet is the Company's compound embedded derivative liability of $131.1 million and $7.9 million , respectively, which represents the fair value of the equity conversion option and a "make-whole" provision relating to the outstanding senior secured convertible promissory notes issued to Total as described above.

In June 2012, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Banco Pine S.A. (or Banco Pine) under which Banco Pine provided the Company with a short term loan (referred to as the Banco Pine Bridge Loan) (see Note 5, "Debt"). At the time of the Bridge Loan, the Company also entered into a currency interest rate swap arrangement with Banco Pine with respect to the repayment of R$22.0 million (approximately US$9.4 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). The swap arrangement exchanges the principal and interest payments under the Banco Pine loan of R$22.0 million entered into in July 2012 for alternative principal and interest payments that are subject to adjustment based on fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Brazilian real. The swap has a fixed interest rate of 3.94% . Changes in the fair value of the swap are recognized in “Income (loss) from change in fair value of derivative instruments" in the consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative instruments measured at fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , and their classification on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations, are presented in the following tables (in thousands except contract amounts):

The Company's first, purpose-built, large-scale Biofene production plant in southeastern Brazil commenced operations in December 2012. This plant is located at Brotas in the state of São Paulo, Brazil and is adjacent to an existing sugar and ethanol mill, Paraíso Bioenergia. The Company's construction in progress consists primarily of the upfront plant design and the initial construction of a second large-scale production plant in Brazil, located at the SMSA sugar and ethanol mill (also in the state of São Paulo, Brazil).

Property, plant and equipment, net includes $3.4 million and $9.1 million of machinery and equipment under capital leases as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. Accumulated amortization of assets under capital leases totaled $1.5 million and $4.1 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of assets under capital leases, was $16.6 million , $14.2 million and $10.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , respectively.

The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred to construct plant and equipment. The capitalized interest is recorded as part of the depreciable cost of the asset to which it relates to and is amortized over the asset's estimated useful life. Interest cost capitalized as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $0.5 million and $0.6 million , respectively.

FINEP Credit Facility

In November 2010, the Company entered into the FINEP Credit Facility. This FINEP Credit Facility was extended to partially fund expenses related to the Company’s research and development project on sugarcane-based biodiesel (“FINEP Project”) and provided for loans of up to an aggregate principal amount of R$6.4 million (approximately US$2.7 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) which is secured by a chattel mortgage on certain equipment of the Company as well as by bank letters of guarantee. All available credit under this facility was fully drawn.

Interest on loans drawn under the FINEP Credit Facility is fixed at 5%  per annum. In case of default under or non-compliance with the terms of the agreement, the interest on loans will be dependent on the long-term interest rate as published by the Central Bank of Brazil (such rate, the “TJLP”). If the TJLP at the time of default is greater than 6% , then the interest will be 5% plus a TJLP adjustment factor, otherwise the interest will be at 11%  per annum. In addition, a fine of up to 10% shall apply to the amount of any obligation in default. Interest on late balances will be 1% interest per month, levied on the overdue amount. Payment of the outstanding loan balance is being made in 81 monthly installments, which commenced in July 2012 and extends through March 2019. Interest on loans drawn and other charges are paid on a monthly basis and commenced in March 2011. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , the total outstanding loan balance under this credit facility was R$5.2 million (approximately US$2.2 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) and R$6.4 million (approximately US$3.1 million based on exchange rate as of December 31, 2012 ), respectively.

The FINEP Credit Facility contains the following significant terms and conditions:
The Company was required to share with FINEP the costs associated with the FINEP Project. At a minimum, the Company was required to contribute from its own funds approximately R$14.5 million (approximately US$6.2 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) of which R$11.1 million was contributed prior to the release of the second disbursement. All four disbursements were completed and the Company has fulfilled all of its cost sharing obligations;
After the release of the first disbursement, prior to any subsequent drawdown from the FINEP Credit Facility, the Company was required to provide bank letters of guarantee of up to R$3.3 million in aggregate (approximately US$1.4 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). On December 17, 2012 and prior to release of the second disbursement on December 26, 2012, the Company obtained the required bank letter of guarantees from Banco ABC Brasil S.A. (or ABC);
Amounts disbursed under the FINEP Credit Facility were required to be used towards the FINEP Project within 30 months after the contract execution.

Revolving Credit Facility

In December 2010, the Company established a revolving credit facility with a financial institution that provided for loans and standby letters of credit of up to an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million with a sublimit of $5.0 million on standby letters of credit. Interest on loans drawn under this revolving credit facility was equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate plus 3.0% ; or (ii) the Prime Rate plus 0.5% . In case of default or non-compliance with the terms of the agreement, the interest on loans was Prime Rate plus 2.0% . The credit facility was collateralized by a first priority security interest in certain of the Company's present and future assets. In April 2012, the Company repaid $7.7 million of its outstanding loans under the Credit Facility. In May 2012,

89



the Company entered into a letter agreement with the bank amending the credit facility agreement to reduce the committed amount under the credit facility from $10.0 million to approximately $2.3 million , and the letters of credit sublimit from $5.0 million to approximately $2.3 million . The amendment also modified the current ratio covenant to require a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of at least $1.3 :1 (as compared to 2 :1 in the Credit Facility), and required the Company to maintain unrestricted cash of at least $15.0 million in its account with the Bank. In June 2012, the credit facility was terminated and, as of December 31, 2012 , no loans or letters of credit were outstanding.

BNDES Credit Facility

In December 2011, the Company entered into the BNDES Credit Facility in the amount of R$22.4 million (approximately US$9.6 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). This BNDES Credit Facility was extended as project financing for a production site in Brazil. The credit line is divided into an initial tranche for up to approximately R$19.1 million reais and an additional tranche of approximately R$3.3 million that becomes available upon delivery of additional guarantees. The credit line is available for 12 months from the date of the Credit Facility, subject to extension by the lender.
The principal of the loans under the BNDES Credit Facility is required to be repaid in 60 monthly installments, with the first installment due in January 2013 and the last due in December 2017. Interest will be due initially on a quarterly basis with the first installment due in March 2012. From and after January 2013, interest payments will be due on a monthly basis together with principal payments. The loaned amounts carry interest of 7%  per annum. Additionally, there is a credit reserve charge of 0.1% on the unused balance from each credit installment from the day immediately after it is made available through its date of use, when it is paid.

The BNDES Credit Facility is collateralized by a first priority security interest in certain of the Company's equipment and other tangible assets totaling R$24.9 million (approximately US$10.6 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). The Company is a parent guarantor for the payment of the outstanding balance under the BNDES Credit Facility. Additionally, the Company was required to provide a bank guarantee equal to 10% of the total approved amount ( R$22.4 million in total debt) available under this Credit Facility. For advances of the second tranche (above R$19.1 million ), the Company is required to provide additional bank guarantees equal to 90% of each such advance, plus additional Company guarantees equal to at least 130% of such advance. The BNDES Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including payment failures, failure to satisfy other obligations under this credit facility or related documents, defaults in respect of other indebtedness, bankruptcy, insolvency and inability to pay debts when due, material judgments, and changes in control of Amyris Brasil. If any event of default occurs, the Lender may terminate its commitments and declare immediately due all borrowings under the facility. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , the Company had R$15.3 million (approximately US$6.5 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) and R$19.1 million (approximately US$9.3 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2012 ), respectively, in outstanding advances under the BNDES Credit Facility.

Notes Payable

During the period between May 2008 and October 2008, the Company entered into notes payable agreements with the lessor of its headquarters under which it borrowed a total of $3.3 million for the purchase of tenant improvements, bearing an interest rate of 9.5%  per annum and to be repaid over a period of 55 to 120 months. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , a principal amount of zero and $1.6 million , respectively, was outstanding under these notes payable. In June 2013, as part of the April 30, 2013 Amendment to the Company's operating lease for its headquarters, the Company recorded the elimination of these notes payable as a lease incentive and recorded approximately $1.4 million to deferred rent liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred rent liability is being amortized to expense over the remaining lease term.

Convertible Notes

In February 2012, the Company completed the sale of senior unsecured convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, between the Company and certain investment funds affiliated with Fidelity Investments Institutional Services Company, Inc. (referred to as the Fidelity Securities Purchase Agreement). The offering consisted of the sale of 3% senior unsecured convertible promissory notes with a March 1, 2017 maturity date and an initial conversion price equal to $7.0682 per share of the Company's common stock, subject to proportional adjustment for adjustments to outstanding common stock and anti-dilution provisions in case of dividends and distributions (referred to as the Fidelity Notes). As of December 31, 2013 , the Fidelity Notes were convertible into an aggregate of up to 3,536,968 shares of the Company's common stock. The note holders have a right to require repayment of 101% of the principal amount of the Fidelity Notes in an acquisition of the Company, and the notes provide for payment of unpaid interest on conversion following such an acquisition if the note holders do not require such repayment. The Fidelity Securities Purchase Agreement and Fidelity Notes include covenants regarding payment of interest, maintaining the Company's listing status, limitations on debt, maintenance of

90



corporate existence, and filing of SEC reports. The Fidelity Notes include standard events of default resulting in acceleration of indebtedness, including failure to pay, bankruptcy and insolvency, cross-defaults, material adverse effect clauses and breaches of the covenants in the Fidelity Securities Purchase Agreement and Fidelity Notes, with default interest rates and associated cure periods applicable to the covenant regarding SEC reporting. Furthermore, the Fidelity Notes include restrictions on the amount of debt the Company is permitted to incur. With exceptions for certain existing debt, refinancing of such debt and certain other exclusions and waivers, the Fidelity Notes provide that the Company's total outstanding debt at any time cannot exceed the greater of $200.0 million or 50% of its consolidated total assets and its secured debt cannot exceed the greater of $125.0 million or 30% of its consolidated total assets. In connection with the Company’s closing of a short-term bridge loan for $35.0 million in October 2013, holders of the Fidelity Notes waived compliance with the debt limitations outlined above as to the $35.0 million bridge loan and the August 2013 Financing. In consideration for such waiver, the Company granted to holders of the Fidelity Notes or their affiliates, the right to purchase up to an aggregate of $7.6 million worth of convertible promissory notes in the first tranche of the August 2013 Financing.

In October 2013, the Company amended the August 2013 SPA (see Note 1, "The Company") to include the Fidelity Entities in the first tranche convertible promissory notes. Pursuant to the amendment agreement the Company sold senior convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $7.6 million to the Fidelity Entities.The Tranche I Notes are due sixty months from the date of issuance and will be convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $2.44 , subject to adjustment as described below. The Tranche I Notes are convertible at the option of the holder: (i) at any time after 18 months from the date of the August 2013 SPA, (ii) on a change of control of the Company and (iii) upon the occurrence of an event of default. The conversion price of the Tranche I Notes will be reduced to $2.15 if a specified Company manufacturing plant fails to achieve a total production of 1.0 million liters within a run period of 45 days prior to June 30, 2014, the Company fails to achieve gross margins from product sales of at least 5% prior to June 30, 2014, or the Company reduces the conversion price of certain existing promissory notes held by Total prior to the repayment or conversion of the Tranche I Notes. If either of the production and margin milestones occur, and in addition, the Company reduces the conversion price of certain existing promissory notes held by Total prior to the repayment or conversion of the Tranche I Notes, the conversion price of the Tranche I Notes will be reduced to $1.87 . Each Tranche I Note accrues interest from the date of issuance until the earlier of the date that such Tranche I Note is converted into the Company’s common stock or is repaid in full. Interest accrues at a rate of 5% per six months, compounded semiannually (with graduated interest rates of 6.5% applicable to the first 180 days and 8% applicable thereafter as the sole remedy should the Company fail to maintain NASDAQ listing status or at 6.5% for all other defaults). Interest for the first 30 months is payable in kind and added to the principal every six-months and thereafter, the Company may continue to pay interest in kind by adding to the principal every six-months or may elect to pay interest in cash. The Tranche I Notes may be prepaid by the Company after 30 months from the issuance date and initial interest payment; thereafter the Company has the option to prepay the Tranche I Notes every six months at the date of payment of the semi-annual coupon.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , principal amount of $32.6 million and $25.0 million , respectively, were outstanding under these convertible notes.

Related Party Convertible Notes

In July 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Total that expanded Total's investment in the Biofene collaboration with the Company, provided new structure for a joint venture (referred to as the Fuels JV) to commercialize the products encompassed by the diesel and jet fuel research and development program (or, the Program), and established a convertible debt structure for the collaboration funding from Total (referred to as the July 2012 Agreements).

The purchase agreement for the notes related to the funding from Total (referred to as the Total Purchase Agreement) provides for the sale of an aggregate of $105.0 million in notes as follows:

As part of an initial closing under the purchase agreement (which initial closing was completed in two installments), (i) on July 30, 2012 , the Company sold a 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note due March 2017 to Total in the face amount of $38.3 million , including $15.0 million in new funds and $23.3 million in previously-provided diesel research and development funding by Total, and (ii) on September 14, 2012 , the Company sold another note (in the same form) for $15.0 million in new funds from Total.
At a second closing under the Total Purchase Agreement (also completed in two installments) the Company sold additional notes for an aggregate of $30.0 million in new funds from Total ( $10.0 million in June 2013 and $20.0 million in July 2013).

91



The Total Purchase Agreement provides that additional notes may be sold in subsequent closings in July 2014 (for cash proceeds to the Company of $21.7 million , which would be settled in an initial installment of $10.85 million payable at such closing and a second installment of $10.85 million payable in January 2015 ).

The notes issued have a maturity date of March 1, 2017 , an initial conversion price equal to $7.0682 per share for the notes issued under the initial closing and an initial conversion price equal $3.08 per share for the notes issued under the second closing. The notes bear interest of 1.5% per annum (with a default rate of 2.5% ), accruing from the date of funding and payable at maturity or on conversion or a change of control where Total exercises the right to require the Company to repay the notes. Accrued interest is cancelled if the notes are cancelled based on a “Go” decision (see Note 8, "Significant Agreements"). The agreements contemplate that the research and development efforts under the Program may extend through 2016, with a series of “Go/No Go” decisions (see Note 8, "Significant Agreements") by Total through such date tied to funding by Total.

The notes become convertible into the Company's common stock (i) within 10 trading days prior to maturity (if they are not cancelled as described above prior to their maturity date), (ii) on a change of control of the Company, (iii) if Total is no longer the largest stockholder of the Company following a “No-Go” decision (subject to a six -month lock-up with respect to any shares of common stock issued upon conversion), and (iv) on a default by the Company. If Total makes a final “Go” decision, then the notes will be exchanged by Total for equity interests in the Fuels JV, after which the notes will not be convertible and any obligation to pay principal or interest on the notes will be extinguished. If Total makes a “No-Go” decision, outstanding notes will remain outstanding and become payable at maturity.

In connection with the December 2012 private placement described below (see Note 10, "Stockholders Equity"), Total elected to participate in the private placement by exchanging approximately $5.0 million of its $53.3 million in senior unsecured convertible promissory notes into 1,677,852 of the Company's common stock at $2.98 per share. As such, $5.0 million of the outstanding $53.3 million in senior unsecured convertible promissory notes was cancelled. The cancellation of the debt was treated as an extinguishment of debt in accordance with the guidance outlined in ASC 470-50. As a result of the exchange and cancellation of the $5.0 million debt the Company recorded a loss from extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million .

In March 2013, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Total (referred to as the March 2013 Letter Agreement) under which Total agreed to waive its right to cease its participation in the parties' fuels collaboration at the July 2013 decision point and committed to proceed with the July 2013 funding tranche of $30.0 million (subject to the Company's satisfaction of the relevant closing conditions for such funding in the Total Purchase Agreement). As consideration for this waiver and commitment, the Company agreed to:

Reduce the conversion price for the senior unsecured convertible promissory notes to be issued in connection with such funding from $7.0682 per share to a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the consolidated closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the date of the letter agreement, plus $0.01 , and (ii) $3.08 per share, provided that the conversion price would not be reduced by more than the maximum possible amount permitted under the rules of NASDAQ such that the new conversion price would require the Company to obtain stockholder consent; and
Grant Total a senior security interest in the Company's intellectual property, subject to certain exclusions and subject to release by Total when the Company and Total enter into final documentation regarding the establishment of the Fuels JV.

In addition to the waiver by Total described above, Total also agreed that, at the Company's request and contingent upon the Company meeting its obligations described above, it would pay advance installments of the amounts otherwise payable at the July 2013 closing. Specifically, if the Company requested such advance installments, subject to certain closing conditions and delivery of certifications regarding the Company's cash levels, Total was obligated to fund $10.0 million no later than May 15, 2013, and an additional $10.0 million no later than June 15, 2013 , with the remainder to be funded on the original July 2013 closing date.

In June 2013, the Company sold and issued a 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note to Total in the face amount of $10.0 million with a March 1, 2017 maturity date pursuant to the Total Purchase Agreement as discussed above. In accordance with the March 2013 Letter Agreement, this convertible note has an initial conversion price equal to $3.08 per share of the Company's common stock. The Company did not request the May advance of $10.0 million , but did request the June advance (as described above), under which this convertible note was issued.

In July 2013, the Company sold and issued a 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note to Total in the face amount of $20.0 million with a March 1, 2017 maturity date pursuant to the Total Purchase Agreement as discussed above. This purchase and sale completed Total's commitment to purchase $30.0 million of such notes by July 2013. In accordance with the March 2013 Letter Agreement, this convertible note has an initial conversion price equal to $3.08 per share of Company common stock.


92



The conversion prices of the notes issued under the Total Purchase Agreement are subject to adjustment for proportional adjustments to outstanding common stock and under anti-dilution provisions in case of certain dividends and distributions. Total has a right to require repayment of 101% of the principal amount of the notes in the event of a change of control of the Company and the notes provide for payment of unpaid interest on conversion following such a change of control if Total does not require such repayment. The purchase agreement and notes include covenants regarding payment of interest, maintenance of the Company's listing status, limitations on debt, maintenance of corporate existence, and filing of SEC reports. The notes include standard events of default resulting in acceleration of indebtedness, including failure to pay, bankruptcy and insolvency, cross-defaults, and breaches of the covenants in the purchase agreement and notes, with added default interest rates and associated cure periods applicable to the covenant regarding SEC reporting. Furthermore, the notes include restrictions on the amount of debt the Company is permitted to incur. With exceptions for certain existing debt, refinancing of such debt and certain other exclusions and waivers, the notes provide that the Company's total outstanding debt at any time cannot exceed the greater of $200.0 million or 50% of its consolidated total assets and its secured debt cannot exceed the greater of $125.0 million or 30% of its consolidated total assets. In connection with the Company’s closing of a short-term bridge loan for $35.0 million in October 2013, Total waived compliance with the debt limitations outlined above as to the $35.0 million bridge loan and the August 2013 Financing.

In connection with the August 2013 Financing, the Company entered into the August 2013 SPA (see Note 1, "The Company") with Total and Temasek to sell up to $73.0 million in convertible promissory notes in private placements, with such notes to be sold and issued over a period of up to 24 months from the date of signing. The August 2013 SPA provided for the August 2013 Financing to be divided into two tranches (the first tranche for $42.6 million and the second tranche for $30.4 million ), each with differing closing conditions. Of the total possible purchase price in the financing, $60.0 million to be paid in the form of cash by Temasek ( $35.0 million in the first tranche and up to $25.0 million in the second tranche) and $13.0 million to be paid by the exchange and cancellation of outstanding convertible promissory notes held by Total in connection with its exercise of pro rata rights ( $7.6 million in the first tranche and $5.4 million in the second tranche). The August 2013 SPA included requirements that the Company meet certain production milestones before the second tranche would become available, obtain stockholder approval prior to completing any closing of the transaction, and issue a warrant to Temasek to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, exercisable only if Total converts preexisting promissory notes with a certain per share conversion price. In September 2013, the Company's stockholders approved the August 2013 Financing.

In September 2013, the Company entered into a bridge loan agreement with an existing investor to provide additional cash availability of up to $5.0 million . As of December 31, 2013 , the Company had not drawn any funds from the agreement and the facility expired in October 2013 in accordance with its terms.

In October 2013, the Company sold and issued the Temasek Bridge Note to Temasek for a bridge loan of $35.0 million . The Temasek Bridge Note was due on February 2, 2014 and accrued interest at a rate of 5.5% each four months from October 4, 2013. The note was cancelled on October 16, 2013 as payment for Temasek’s purchase of the first tranche convertible note in the August 2013 Financing. As a result of the exchange and cancellation of the $35.0 million Temasek Bridge Note and the $9.2 million Total convertible note for the Tranche I Notes, the Company recorded a loss from extinguishment of debt of $19.9 million .

In October 2013, the Company amended the August 2013 SPA (see Note 1, "The Company") to include Fidelity Entities in the first tranche convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $7.6 million , and to proportionally increase the amount acquired by exchange and cancellation of outstanding convertible promissory notes held by Total in connection with its exercise of pro rata rights to $14.6 million ( $9.2 million in the first tranche and up to $5.4 million in the second tranche). Also in October 2013, the Company completed the closing of the Tranche I Notes of the August 2013 Financing, issuing a total of $51.8 million in convertible promissory notes for cash proceeds of $7.6 million and cancellation of outstanding convertible promissory notes of $44.2 million , of which $35.0 million resulted from cancellation of the Temasek Bridge Note. The Tranche I Notes are due sixty months from the date of issuance and will be convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $2.44 , subject to adjustment as described below. The Tranche I Notes are convertible at the option of the holder: (i) at any time after 18 months from the date of the August 2013 SPA, (ii) on a change of control of the Company and (iii) upon the occurrence of an event of default. The conversion price of the Tranche I Notes will be reduced to $2.15 if a specified Company manufacturing plant fails to achieve a total production of 1.0 million liters within a run period of 45 days prior to June 30, 2014, the Company fails to achieve gross margins from product sales of at least 5% prior to June 30, 2014, or the Company reduces the conversion price of certain existing promissory notes held by Total prior to the repayment or conversion of the Tranche I Notes. If either of the production and margin milestones occur, and in addition, the Company reduces the conversion price of certain existing promissory notes held by Total prior to the repayment or conversion of the Tranche I Notes, the conversion price of the Tranche I Notes will be reduced to $1.87 . Each Tranche I Note accrues interest from the date of issuance until the earlier of the date that such Tranche I Note is converted into the Company’s common stock or is repaid in full. Interest accrues at a rate of 5% per six months, compounded semiannually (with graduated interest rates of 6.5% applicable to the first 180 days and 8% applicable thereafter as the sole remedy should the Company fail to maintain NASDAQ listing status or at 6.5% for all other defaults). Interest for the first 30 months is payable in kind and added to the principal every six-months and thereafter, the Company may continue

93



to pay interest in kind by adding to the principal every six-months or may elect to pay interest in cash. The Tranche I Notes may be prepaid by the Company after 30 months from the issuance date and initial interest payment; thereafter the Company has the option to prepay the Tranche I Notes every six months at the date of payment of the semi-annual coupon.

The convertible promissory notes issuable in the second tranche of the August 2013 Financing (referred to as the Tranche II Notes) would be due 5 years after the date of the issuance of the first Tranche II Notes and would be subject to a conversion price equal to $2.87 , subject to adjustment as described below. Specifically, the Tranche II Notes would be convertible at the option of the holder (i) at any time 12 months after issuance, (ii) on a change of control of the Company, and (iii) upon the occurrence of an event of default. Each Tranche II Notes will accrue interest from the date of issuance until the earlier of the date that such Tranche II Notes is converted into the Company's common stock or repaid in full. Interest will accrue at a rate per annum equal to 10% , compounded annually (with graduated interest rates of 13% applicable to the first 180 days and 16% applicable thereafter as the sole remedy should the Company fail to maintain NASDAQ listing status or at a rate equal to 12% for all other defaults). Interest for the first 36 months shall be payable in kind and added to the principal every year following the issue date and thereafter, the Company may continue to pay interest in kind by adding to the principal on every year anniversary of the issue date or may elect to pay interest in cash.

In addition to the conversion price adjustments set forth above, the conversion prices of the Tranche I Notes and Tranche II Notes are subject to further adjustment (i) according to proportional adjustments to outstanding common stock of the Company in case of certain dividends and distributions, (ii) according to anti-dilution provisions, and (iii) with respect to notes held by any purchaser other than Total, in the event that Total exchanges existing convertible notes for new securities of the Company in connection with future financing transactions in excess of its pro rata amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of a majority of the principal amount of the notes outstanding at the time of conversion may waive any anti-dilution adjustments to the conversion price. The purchasers have a right to require repayment of 101% of the principal amount of the notes in the event of a change of control of the Company and the notes provide for payment of unpaid interest on conversion following such a change of control if the purchasers do not require such repayment. The August 2013 SPA, Tranche I Notes and Tranche II Notes include covenants regarding payment of interest, maintenance of the Company’s listing status, limitations on debt and on certain liens, maintenance of corporate existence, and filing of SEC reports. The notes include standard events of default resulting in acceleration of indebtedness, including failure to pay, bankruptcy and insolvency, cross-defaults, and breaches of the covenants in the August 2013 SPA, Tranche I Notes and Tranche II Notes, with default interest rates and associated cure periods applicable to the covenant.

In December 2013, in connection with the execution of the Shareholders Agreement, License Agreement and related documents (collectively, referred to as the JV Documents) entered into by and among Amyris, Total and Total Amyris BioSolutions B.V. (or JVCO) relating to the establishment of JVCO (see Note 7, "Joint Venture and Noncontrolling Interest"), Amyris has agreed to (i) exchange the $69.0 million outstanding Total unsecured convertible notes and issue a replacement 1.5% senior secured convertible notes, in principal amounts equal to the principal amount of each cancelled note (the “Replacement Notes”) and (ii) to grant to Total a security interest in and lien on all Amyris’ rights, title and interest in and to Amyris’ shares in the capital of JVCO. Any Securities to be purchased and sold at the Third Closing (see Note 8, "Significant Agreements") by Total shall be 1.5% senior secured convertible notes shall have a conversion price of $7.0682 . As a consequence of executing the JV Documents and forming JVCO, the Second Amendment of the August 2013 SPA and Restated Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of October 16, 2013, executed by Amyris in favor of Total, Temasek, and certain entities affiliated with Fidelity Investments, under which the Company granted a security interest in all of Amyris’ intellectual property was automatically terminated effective as of December 2, 2013 upon Total’s and the Company’s joint written notice to Temasek.

In December 2013, the Company placed a $3.0 million of senior unsecured convertible notes under the second tranche of August 2013 Financing to funds affiliated with Wolverine Asset Management (or Wolverine) and elected to call $25.0 million in additional funds from Temasek pursuant to its previous commitment to purchase such amount of convertible promissory notes in the second tranche. Additionally, in December 2013, the Company agreed to sell approximately $6.0 million of convertible promissory notes in the second tranche to Total through cancellation of the same amount of principal of previously outstanding convertible notes held by Total in respect of Total’s preexisting contractual right to maintain its pro rata ownership position through such cancellation. The second tranche funding closed in the first quarter of 2014.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , $89.5 million and $39.0 million , respectively, was outstanding under these convertible notes, net of debt discount of $27.9 million and $9.3 million , respectively. The debt discount is the result of the bifurcation of the equity conversion option and "make-whole" provision features associated with outstanding debt. For the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , the Company recorded loss from extinguishment of debt from the exchange and cancellation of related party convertible notes of $19.9 million , $0.9 million , and zero , respectively.

Loans Payable

In December 2009, the Company entered into a loans payable agreement with the lessor of its Emeryville pilot plant under which it borrowed a total of $0.3 million , bearing an interest rate of 10.0%  per annum and to be repaid over a period of 96 months. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , a principal amount of zero and $0.2 million , respectively, was outstanding under the loan. In June 2013, as part of the April 30, 2013 amendment entered into regarding the Company's operating lease for its headquarters, the Company recorded the elimination of this loan payable as a lease incentive and recorded approximately $0.2 million to deferred rent liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred rent liability is being amortized to expense over the remaining lease term.

In December 2011, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Banco Pine under which Banco Pine provided the Company with a short term loan of R$35.0 million (approximately US$14.9 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). Such loan was an advance on an anticipated July 2012 financing from Nossa Caixa Desenvolvimento, ("Nossa Caixa"), the Sao Paulo State development bank, and Banco Pine, under which Banco Pine and Nossa Caxia would provide the Company with loans of up to approximately R$52.0 million (approximately US$25.6 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) as financing for capital expenditures relating to the Company's manufacturing facility in Brotas. The interest rate for the loan was 119.2% of the Brazilian interbank lending rate (approximately 12.3% on an annualized basis). The principal and interest due on the principal under the loan agreement, as amended, matured and was repaid on August 15, 2012 .

In June 2012, the Company entered into a separate loan agreement with Banco Pine under which Banco Pine provided the Company with a Banco Pine Bridge Loan of R$52.0 million (approximately US$25.6 million based on the exchange rate as of September 30, 2012 the time of loan repayment). The interest rate for the Banco Pine Bridge Loan was 0.4472% monthly (approximately 5.5% on an annualized basis). The principal and interest due under the bridge loan matured and were required to be repaid on September 19, 2012 , subject to extension by Banco Pine. At the time of this bridge loan, the Company entered into a currency interest rate swap arrangement with the lender for R$22.0 million (approximately US$9.4 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). The interest rate swap arrangement exchanged the principal and interest payments under the Banco Pine Loan of R$22.0 million entered into in July 2012 for alternative principal and interest payments that were subject to adjustment based on fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Brazilian real. The swap had a fixed interest rate of 3.94% . In July 2012, the Company repaid the Banco Pine Bridge Loan.

In July 2012, the Company entered into a Note of Bank Credit and a Fiduciary Conveyance of Movable Goods Agreement (together, referred to as the July 2012 Bank Agreements) with each of Nossa Caixa and Banco Pine. Under the July 2012 Bank Agreements, the Company pledged certain farnesene production assets as collateral for the loans of R$52.0 million . The Company's total acquisition cost for such pledged assets was approximately R$68.0 million (approximately US$29.0 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). The Company is a also a parent guarantor for the payment of the outstanding balance under these loan agreements. Under the July 2012 Bank Agreements, the Company could borrow an aggregate of R$52.0 million (approximately US$22.2 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) as financing for capital expenditures relating to the Company's manufacturing facility located in Brotas, Brazil. Specifically, Banco Pine, agreed to lend R$22.0 million and Nossa Caixa agreed to lend R$30.0 million . The funds for the loans are provided by BNDES, but are guaranteed by the lenders. The loans have a final maturity date of July 15, 2022 and bear a fixed interest rate of 5.5% per year. The loans are also subject to early maturity and delinquency charges upon occurrence of certain events including interruption of manufacturing activities at the Company's manufacturing facility in Brotas, Brazil for more than 30 days, except during sugarcane off-season. For the first two years that the loans are outstanding, the Company is required to pay interest only on a quarterly basis. After August 15, 2014 , the Company is required to pay equal monthly installments of both principal and interest for the remainder of the term of the loans. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , a principal amount of $22.2 million and $25.4 million , respectively, was outstanding under these loan agreements.

In October 2012, the Company entered into a loans payable agreement with a lender under which it borrowed $0.6 million to pay the insurance premiums of certain schedule of policies. The loan is payable in nine monthly installments of principal and interest. Interest accrued at a rate of 3.24% per annum. The loan was settled in 2013. In October 2013, the Company entered into another loan amounting to $0.6 million to pay for the current insurance premiums under the same terms. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , the outstanding unpaid loan balance was $0.4 million and $0.4 million , respectively.

In March 2013, the Company entered into an export financing agreement with ABC for approximately $2.5 million a one -year-term to fund exports through March 2014. This loan is collateralized by future exports from the Company's subsidiary in Brazil. As of December 31, 2013 , the principal amount outstanding under this agreement was $2.5 million .

Letters of Credit

In June 2012, the Company entered into a letter of credit agreement for $1.0 million under which it provided a letter of credit to the landlord for its headquarters in Emeryville, California in order to cover the security deposit on the lease. This letter of credit is secured by a certificate of deposit. Accordingly, the Company has $0.9 million as restricted cash as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 .

Future minimum payments under the debt agreements as of December 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Obligations

The Company leases certain facilities and finances certain equipment under operating and capital leases, respectively. Operating leases include leased facilities and capital leases include leased equipment (see Note 4, "Balance Sheet Components"). The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the noncancellable lease term and records the difference between cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expense as a deferred rent liability. Where leases contain escalation clauses, rent abatements, and/or concessions, such as rent holidays and landlord or tenant incentives or allowances, the Company applies them in the determination of straight-line rent expense over the lease term. The Company has noncancellable operating lease agreements for office, research and development, and manufacturing space that expire at various dates, with the latest expiration in February 2031 . Rent expense under operating lease was $4.8 million , $4.9 million and $4.8 million , for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , respectively.

In December 2011, the Company executed an equipment financing agreement for $3.0 million for certain qualifying manufacturing and laboratory equipment. Pursuant to the equipment financing agreement, the Company financed the equipment with transactions representing capital leases. This sales/leaseback transaction resulted in a $1.3 million unrealized loss which is being amortized over the life of the assets under lease. Accordingly, a capital lease liability was recorded at the present value of the future lease payments of $1.2 million and $2.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. The incremental borrowing rate used to determine the present values of the future lease payments was 6.5% . The lease obligations expire on January 1, 2015 . In connection with the capital lease entered into in 2011, the Company issued a warrant to purchase shares of the Company's common stock (see Note 10, "Stockholder's Equity").

In 2007, the Company entered into an operating lease for its headquarters in Emeryville, California, with a term of ten years commencing in May 2008. As part of the operating lease agreement, the Company received a tenant improvements allowance of $11.4 million . The Company recorded the allowance as deferred rent and associated expenditures as leasehold improvements that are being amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the term of the lease. In connection with the operating lease, the Company elected to defer a portion of the monthly base rent due under the lease and entered into notes payable agreements with the lessor for the purchase of certain tenant improvements. In October 2010, the Company amended its lease agreement with

96



the lessor of its headquarters, to lease up to approximately 22,000 square feet of research and development and office space. In return for the removal of the early termination clause in its amended lease agreement, the Company received approximately $1.0 million from the lessor in December 2010. In April 2013, the Company amended its lease agreement for its headquarters in Emeryville, California (referred to as the Lease Amendment). The Lease Amendment provided for an extension of the lease term to May 2023, a modification of the base rent and elimination of the Company's loans and notes payable to the lessor of approximately $1.6 million (see Note 5, "Debt"). In addition, per the terms of the Lease Amendment, the Company also received a rent credit of approximately $71,000 per month for the period of June 2013 through December 2013 and a rent credit of approximately $42,000 per month for the full year of 2014.

In March 2011, the Company entered into an operating lease on real property owned by Paraíso Bioenergia S.A. (“Paraíso Bioenergia”) in Brazil. In conjunction with a supply agreement (see Note 8, "Significant Agreements") with the same entity, the land is being used by the Company for its Biofene production plant in Brotas. This lease has a term of 15 years commencing in March 2011 with an estimated annual rent payment of approximately $116,000 .

In August 2011, the Company notified the lessor of its leased office facilities in Brazil of the Company's termination of its existing lease effective November 30, 2011. At the same time, the Company entered into an operating lease for new office facilities in Campinas, Brazil. The new lease has a term of 5 years commencing in November 2011 with an estimated annual rent payment of approximately $367,000 .

In October 2012, an operating lease associated with the Company's pilot plant in Brazil was amended. As a result of this amendment, the Company's operating lease was extended and the new expiration is October 2015 and included an amendment to the terms of restitution of the property under lease. As a result of this amendment, the Company no longer has asset retirement obligations and therefore reversed the previously accrued liabilities.

Guarantor Arrangements

The Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer's or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company had no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 .
 
The Company entered into the FINEP Credit Facility to finance a research and development project on sugarcane-based biodiesel (see Note 5, "Debt"). The FINEP Credit Facility is guaranteed by a chattel mortgage on certain equipment of the Company. The Company's total acquisition cost for the equipment under this guarantee is approximately R$6.0 million (approximately US$2.6 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ).


97



The Company entered into the BNDES Credit Facility to finance a production site in Brazil (see Note 5, "Debt").The BNDES Credit Facility is collateralized by a first priority security interest in certain of the Company's equipment and other tangible assets with a total acquisition cost of R$24.9 million (approximately US$10.6 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). The Company is a parent guarantor for the payment of the outstanding balance under the BNDES Credit Facility. Additionally, the Company is required to provide certain bank guarantees under the BNDES Credit Facility. Accordingly, the Company has a $0.7 million and zero as restricted cash as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company entered into loan agreements and security agreement where the Company pledged certain farnesene production assets as collateral (the fiduciary conveyance of movable goods) with each of Nossa Caixa and Banco Pine (see Note 5, "Debt"). The Company's total acquisition cost for the farnesene production assets pledged as collateral under these agreements is approximately R$68.0 million (approximately US$29.0 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). The Company is also a parent guarantor for the payment of the outstanding balance under these loan agreements. 

The Company has an export financing agreement for approximately $2.5 million for a one -year term to fund exports through March 2014. This loan is collateralized by future exports from the Company's subsidiary in Brazil.

Under an operating lease agreement for its office facilities in Brazil, which commenced on November 15, 2011, the Company is required to maintain restricted cash or letters of credit equal to 3 months of rent of approximately R$0.2 million (approximately US$0.1 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) in the aggregate as a guarantee that the Company will meet its performance obligations under such operating lease agreement.

In October 2013, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Total relating to the Temasek Bridge Note and to the closing of the August 2013 Financing (referred to as the Amendment Agreement) (see Note 5, "Debt"). In the August 2013 Financing, the Company was required to provide the purchasers under the August 2013 SPA with a security interest in the Company’s intellectual property if Total still held such security interest as of the initial closing of the August 2013 Financing. Under the terms of a previous Intellectual Property Security Agreement by and between the Company and Total (referred to as the Security Agreement), the Company had previously granted a security interest in favor of Total to secure the obligations of the Company under certain convertible promissory notes issued and issuable to Total under the Company’s purchase agreement with Total Purchase Agreement. The Security Agreement provides that such security interest will terminate if Total and the Company enter into certain agreements relating to the formation of the Fuels JV. To get Total to (i) permit the Company to grant the security interest under the Temasek Bridge Note and the August 2013 Financing and (ii) waive a secured debt limitation contained in the outstanding convertible promissory notes held by Total (the “Total Securities”), the Company entered into the Amendment Agreement. Under the Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed to reduce, effective December 2, 2013, the conversion price for the Total Securities issued in 2012 (approximately $48.3 million of which are outstanding as of the date hereof) from $7.0682 per share to $2.20 , the market price per share of the Company’s Common Stock as of the signing of the Amendment Agreement, as determined in accordance with applicable NASDAQ rules, unless the Company and Total enter into the JV Agreements on or prior to December 2, 2013.

In December 2013, in connection with the execution of JV Documents entered into by and among Amyris, Total and JVCO relating to the establishment of the JVCO (see Note 5, "Debt" and Note 7, "Joint Venture and Noncontrolling Interest"), Amyris agreed to exchange the $69.0 million outstanding Total unsecured convertible notes and issue replacement 1.5% senior secured convertible notes, in principal amounts equal to the principal amount of each Replacement Notes and grant a security interest to Total in and lien on all Amyris’ rights, title and interest in and to Amyris’ shares in the capital of the JVCO.
 
Purchase Obligations

As of December 31, 2013 , the Company had $9.6 million in purchase obligations which included $8.9 million in non-cancellable contractual obligations and construction commitments, of which $4.0 million have been accrued as loss on purchase commitments.

Other Matters

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but will only be recorded when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against and by the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company's management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

98




If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

In May 2013, a securities class action complaint was filed against the Company and its CEO, John G. Melo, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. In October 2013, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. The complaint, as amended, sought unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class that would comprise all individuals who acquired the Company's common stock between April 29, 2011 and February 8, 2012. The complaint alleged securities law violations based on the Company's commercial projections during that period. In December 2013, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In March 2014, the court issued an order granting the Company's motion to dismiss with leave to amend the complaint. The Company believes the complaint lacks merit, and intends to defend itself vigorously. Because the case is at a very early stage and no specific monetary demand has been made, it is not possible for us to estimate the potential loss or range of potential losses for the case.

In August 2013, a complaint entitled Steve Shannon, derivatively on behalf of Amyris, Inc. v. John G. Melo et al and Amyris, Inc., was filed against the Company as nominal defendant in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages on behalf of the Company from certain of its current and former officers, directors and employees and alleges these defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and unjustly enriched themselves by making allegedly false and misleading statements and omitting certain material facts in the Company's securities filings. Because this purported stockholder derivative action is based on substantially the same facts as the securities class action described above, the two actions have been related and will be heard by the same judge. By stipulation of the parties, the case has been stayed until the Company either files an answer in the securities class action or the securities action is dismissed with prejudice. The Company does not believe the claims in the complaint have merit, and intends to defend itself vigorously. Because the case is at a very early stage and no specific monetary demand has been made, it is not possible to estimate the potential loss or range of potential losses for the case.

The Company is subject to disputes and claims that arise or have arisen in the ordinary course of business and that have not resulted in legal proceedings or have not been fully adjudicated. Such matters that may arise in the ordinary course of business are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Therefore, if one or more of these legal disputes or claims resulted in settlements or legal proceedings that were resolved against the Company for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the relevant reporting period could be materially adversely affected.


7. Joint Venture and Noncontrolling Interest

SMA Indústria Química S.A.

In April 2010, the Company established SMA Indústria Química (or SMA), a joint venture with SMSA, to build a production facility in Brazil. SMA is located at the SMSA mill in Pradópolis, São Paulo state. The joint venture agreements establishing SMA have a 20 year initial term.

 SMA is managed by a three member executive committee, of which the Company appoints two members, one of whom is the plant manager who is the most senior executive responsible for managing the construction and operation of the facility. SMA is governed by a four member board of directors, of which the Company and SMSA each appoint two members. The board of directors has certain protective rights which include final approval of the engineering designs and project work plan developed and recommended by the executive committee.

The joint venture agreements require the Company would fund the construction costs of the new facility and SMSA would reimburse the Company up to RS$61.8 million (approximately US$26.4 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ) of the construction costs after SMA commences production. After commercialization, the Company would market and distribute Amyris renewable products produced by SMA and SMSA would sell feedstock and provide certain other services to SMA. The cost of the feedstock to SMA would be a price that is based on the average return that SMSA could receive from the production of its current products, sugar and ethanol. The Company would be required to purchase the output of SMA for the first

99



four years at a price that guarantees the return of SMSA’s investment plus a fixed interest rate. After this four year period, the price would be set to guarantee a break-even price to SMA plus an agreed upon return.

Under the terms of the joint venture agreements, if the Company becomes controlled, directly or indirectly, by a competitor of SMSA, then SMSA has the right to acquire the Company’s interest in SMA. If SMSA becomes controlled, directly or indirectly, by a competitor of the Company, then the Company has the right to sell its interest in SMA to SMSA. In either case, the purchase price shall be determined in accordance with the joint venture agreements, and the Company would continue to have the obligation to acquire products produced by SMA for the remainder of the term of the supply agreement then in effect even though the Company would no longer be involved in SMA’s management.

The Company has a 50% ownership interest in SMA. The Company has identified SMA as a variable interest entity (or VIE) pursuant to the accounting guidance for consolidating VIEs because the amount of total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit SMA to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, as well as because the related commercialization agreement provides a substantive minimum price guarantee. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Company directs the design and construction activities, as well as production and distribution. In addition, the Company has the obligation to fund the design and construction activities until commercialization is achieved. Subsequent to the construction phase, both parties equally fund SMA for the term of the joint venture. Based on those factors, the Company was determined to have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact SMA’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits. Accordingly, the financial results of SMA are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and amounts pertaining to SMSA’s interest in SMA are reported as noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries.

The Company completed a significant portion of the construction of the new facility in 2012. The Company suspended construction of the facility in order to focus on completing and operating the Company's smaller production facility in Brotas, Brazil. In February 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the joint venture agreement with SMSA which updates and documents certain preexisting business plan requirements related to the start-up of construction at the joint venture operated plant and sets forth, among other things, (i) the extension of the deadline for the commencement of operations at the joint venture operated plant to no later than 18 months following the construction of the plant, which shall occur no later than March 31, 2017, and (ii) the extension of an option held by SMSA to build a second large-scale farnesene production facility to no later than December 31, 2018 with the commencement of operations at such second facility to occur no later than April 1, 2019.

Novvi S.A.

In June 2011, the Company entered into joint venture agreements with Cosan Combustíveis e Lubrificantes S.A. and Cosan S.A. Industria e Comércio (such Cosan entities, collectively or individually, “Cosan”), related to the formation of a joint venture to focus on the worldwide development, production and commercialization of base oils made from Biofene for the automotive, commercial and industrial lubricants markets (referred to as the Original JV Agreement). The parties originally envisioned operating their joint venture through Novvi S.A., a Brazilian entity jointly owned by Cosan and Amyris Brasil.

Under the Original JV Agreement and related agreements, the Company and Cosan each owned 50% of the Novvi S.A. and each party would share equally in any costs and any profits ultimately realized by Novvi S.A. The joint venture agreement had an initial term of 20 years from the date of the Original JV Agreement, subject to earlier termination by mutual written consent or by a non-defaulting party in the event of specified defaults by the other party. The shareholders' agreement had an initial term of 10 years from the date of the agreement, subject to earlier termination if either the Company or Cosan ceases to own at least 10% of the voting stock of Novvi S.A. Since its formation, Novvi S.A. had minimal operating activities while the Company and Cosan continued to determine and finalize the strategy and operating activities for the joint venture. Upon determination by the Company and Cosan that the joint venture should be operated out of a US entity, the operating activities of Novvi S.A. ceased. The Company has identified that Novvi S.A. is a VIE and determined that the power to direct activities, which most significantly impact the economic success of the joint venture, is equally shared between the Company and Cosan. Accordingly, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and therefore accounts for its investment in Novvi S.A. under the equity method of accounting.

In March 2013, the Company, Amyris Brasil and Cosan entered into a termination agreement to terminate the Original JV Agreement. In addition, Amyris Brasil agreed to sell, its 50% ownership in Novvi S.A. for approximately R$22,000 (approximately US$9,391 based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013) which represented the current value of its 50% equity ownership in Novvi S.A., a now-dormant company, to Cosan. Upon the consummation of the transaction with the shares transferring from Amyris Brasil to Cosan, the Novvi S.A. shareholders agreement automatically terminated.

Novvi LLC


100



In September 2011, the Company and Cosan US, Inc. (or Cosan U.S.) formed Novvi LLC, a U.S. entity that is jointly owned by the Company and Cosan U.S. (or Novvi). In March 2013, the Company and Cosan U.S. entered into agreements to (i) expand their base oils joint venture to also include additives and lubricants and (ii) operate their joint venture exclusively through Novvi. Specifically, the parties entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement for Novvi (referred to as the Operating Agreement), which sets forth the governance procedures for Novvi and the joint venture and the parties' initial contribution. The Company also entered into an IP License Agreement with Novvi (referred to as the IP License Agreement) under which the Company granted Novvi (i) an exclusive (subject to certain limited exceptions for the Company), worldwide, royalty-free license to develop, produce and commercialize base oils, additives, and lubricants derived from Biofene for use in automotive and industrial lubricants markets and (ii) a non-exclusive, royalty free license, subject to certain conditions, to manufacture Biofene solely for its own products. In addition, both the Company and Cosan U.S. granted Novvi certain rights of first refusal with respect to alternative base oil and additive technologies that may be acquired by the Company or Cosan U.S. during the term of the IP License Agreement. Under these agreements, the Company and Cosan U.S. will each own 50% of Novvi and each party will share equally in any costs and any profits ultimately realized by the joint venture. Novvi is governed by a six member Board of Managers (or the Board Managers), with three managers represented by each investor. The Board of Managers appoints the officers of Novvi, who are responsible for carrying out the daily operating activities of Novvi as directed by the Board of Managers. The IP License Agreement has an initial term of 20 years from the date of the agreement, subject to standard early termination provisions such as uncured material breach or a party's insolvency. Under the terms of the Operating Agreement, Cosan U.S. is obligated to fund its 50% ownership share of Novvi in cash in the amount of $10.0 million and the Company is obligated to fund its 50% ownership share of Novvi through the granting of an IP License to develop, produce and commercialize base oils, additives, and lubricants derived from Biofene for use in the automotive, commercial and industrial lubricants markets which has been agreed upon by Cosan U.S. and Amyris valued at $10.0 million . In March 2013, the Company measured its initial contribution of intellectual property to Novvi at the Company's carrying value of the licenses granted under the IP License Agreement, which was zero. Additional funding requirements to finance the ongoing operations of Novvi are expected to happen through revolving credit or other loan facilities provided by unrelated parties (i.e. such as financial institutions); cash advances or other credit or loan facilities provided by the Company and Cosan U.S. or their affiliates; or additional capital contributions by the Company and Cosan U.S.

The Company has identified Novvi as a VIE and determined that the power to direct activities, which most significantly impact the economic success of the joint venture (i.e. continuing research and development, marketing, sales, distribution and manufacturing of Novvi products), is equally shared between the Company and Cosan U.S. Accordingly, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and therefore accounts for its investment in Novvi under the equity method of accounting. The Company will continue to reassess its primary beneficiary analysis of Novvi if there are changes in events and circumstances impacting the power to direct activities that most significantly affect Novvi's economic success. Under the equity method, the Company's share of profits and losses are included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2013 , the Company recorded no amounts for its share of Novvi's net loss as the carrying amount of the Company's investment in Novvi was zero and losses in excess of the carrying amount were offset by the accretion of the Company's share in the basis difference resulting from the parties' initial contribution. The Company recorded $2.6 million of revenue from the research and development activities that it has performed on behalf of Novvi and recognized $1.1 million in product sales from Novvi for the year ended December 31, 2013 .

Total Amyris BioSolutions B.V.

In November 2013, the Company and Total Energies Nouvelles Activités USA (formerly known as Total Gas & Power USA, SAS, or Total), formed Total Amyris BioSolutions B.V., a private company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (or JVCO). The common equity of JVCO is jointly owned (50%/50%) by the Company and Total, and the preferred equity of JVCO is 100% owned by the Company. The Parties have agreed that JVCO’s purpose is limited to executing the License Agreement and maintaining such licenses under it, unless and until either (i) Total elects to go forward with either the full (diesel and jet fuel) JVCO commercialization program or the jet fuel component of the JVCO commercialization program (a “Go Decision”), (ii) Total elects to not continue its participation in the R&D Program and JVCO (a “No-Go Decision”), or (iii) Total exercises any of its rights to buy out the Company’s interest in JVCO. Following a Go Decision, the articles and shareholders’ agreement would be amended and restated to be consistent with the shareholders’ agreement contemplated by the July 2012 Agreements (see Note 5, "Debt" and Note 8, "Significant Agreements").

The JVCO has an initial capitalization of €0.1 million (approximately US$0.1 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2013 ). The Company has identified JVCO as a VIE and determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and therefore accounts for its investment in JVCO under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company's share of profits and losses are included in "Other income (expense), net" in the consolidated statements of operations. No later than six months prior to July 31, 2016, the Company and Total shall amend the July 2012 Agreements to reflect the corporate structure of JVCO, amend and restate the articles of association of JVCO, finalize and agree on a five-year plan and an initial

101



budget, maximize economic viability and value of JVCO and enter into the Total license agreement. The Company will reevaluate its assessment in 2016 based on the specific terms of the final shareholders' agreement.

Glycotech

In January 2011, the Company entered into a production service agreement (referred to as the Glycotech Agreement) with Glycotech, Inc. (or Glycotech), under which Glycotech provides process development and production services for the manufacturing of various Company products at its leased facility in Leland, North Carolina. The Company products manufactured by Glycotech are owned and distributed by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the production Glycotech Agreement, the Company is required to pay the manufacturing and operating costs of the Glycotech facility, which is dedicated solely to the manufacture of Amyris products. The initial term of the Glycotech Agreement was for a two year period commencing on February 1, 2011 and the Glycotech Agreement renews automatically for successive one -year terms, unless terminated by the Company. Concurrent with the Glycotech Agreement, the Company also entered into a Right of First Refusal Agreement with the lessor of the facility and site leased by Glycotech (or the ROFR Agreement). Per conditions of the ROFR Agreement, the lessor agreed not to sell the facility and site leased by Glycotech during the term of the Glycotech Agreement. In the event that the lessor is presented with an offer to sell or decides to sell an adjacent parcel, the Company has the right of first refusal to acquire it.

The Company has determined that the arrangement with Glycotech qualifies as a VIE. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of this arrangement since it has the power through the management committee over which it has majority control to direct the activities that most significantly impact Glycotech's economic performance. In addition, the Company is required to fund 100% of Glycotech's actual operating costs for providing services each month while the facility is in operation under the production service agreement. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial results of Glycotech. As of December 31, 2013 , the carrying amounts of the consolidated VIE's assets and liabilities were not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The table below reflects the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the two consolidated VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2013 , the assets include $21.6 million in property, plant and equipment, $3.9 million in other assets and $0.3 million in current assets. The liabilities include $0.1 million in accounts payable and accrued current liabilities and $0.1 million in loan obligations by Glycotech to its shareholders that are non-recourse to the Company. The creditors of each consolidated VIE have recourse only to the assets of that VIE.

8. Significant Agreements

Research and Development Activities

Total Collaboration Agreement
 
In June 2010, the Company entered into a technology license, development, research and collaboration agreement (referred to as the Collaboration Agreement”) with Total Gas & Power USA Biotech, Inc., an affiliate of Total S.A. (Total S.A. and its relevant affiliates, collectively, “Total”). The Collaboration Agreement sets forth the terms for the research, development, production and commercialization of certain to-be-determined chemical and/or fuel products made through the use of the

102



Company’s synthetic biology platform. The Collaboration Agreement established a multiphased process through which projects are identified, screened, studied for feasibility, and ultimately selected as a project for development of an identified lead compound using an identified microbial strain. Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, Total funded up to the first $50.0 million in research and development costs for the selected projects; thereafter the parties share such costs equally. Amyris has agreed to dedicate the laboratory resources needed for collaboration projects. Total also plans to second employees at Amyris to work on the projects. Once a development project has commenced, the parties are obligated to work together exclusively to develop the lead compound during the project development phase. After a development project is completed, the Company and Total expect to form one or more joint ventures to commercialize any products that are developed, with costs and profits to be shared on an equal basis, provided that if Total has not achieved profits from sales of a joint venture product equal to the amount of funding it provided for development plus an agreed upon rate of return within three years of commencing sales, then Total will be entitled to receive all profits from sales until this rate of return has been achieved. Each party has certain rights to independently produce commercial quantities of these products under certain circumstances, subject to paying royalties to the other party. Total has the right of first negotiation with respect to exclusive commercialization arrangements that the Company would propose to enter into with certain third parties, as well as the right to purchase any of the Company’s products on terms no less favorable than those offered to or received by the Company from third parties in any market where Total or its affiliates have a significant market position.

The Collaboration Agreement has an initial term of twelve years and is renewable by mutual agreement by the parties for additional three year periods. Neither the Company nor Total has the right to terminate the agreement voluntarily. The Company and Total each have the right to terminate the agreement in the event the other party commits a material breach, is the subject of certain bankruptcy proceedings or challenges a patent licensed to it under the Collaboration Agreement. Total also has the right to terminate the Collaboration Agreement in the event the Company undergoes a sale or change of control to certain entities. If the Company terminates the Collaboration Agreement due to a breach, bankruptcy or patent challenge by Total, all licenses the Company has granted to Total terminate except licenses related to products for which Total has made a material investment and licenses related to products with respect to which binding commercialization arrangements have been approved, which will survive subject, in most cases, to the payment of certain royalties by Total to the Company. Similarly, if Total terminates the Collaboration Agreement due to a breach, bankruptcy or patent challenge by the Company, all licenses Total has granted to the Company terminate except licenses related to products for which the Company has made a material investment, certain grant-back licenses and licenses related to products with respect to which binding commercialization arrangements have been approved, which will survive subject, in most cases, to the payment of certain royalties to Total by the Company. On expiration of the Collaboration Agreement, or in the event the Collaboration Agreement is terminated for a reason other than a breach, bankruptcy or patent challenge by one party, licenses applicable to activities outside the collaboration generally continue with respect to intellectual property existing at the time of expiration or termination subject, in most cases, to royalty payments. There are circumstances under which certain of the licenses granted to Total will survive on a perpetual, royalty-free basis after expiration or termination of the Collaboration Agreement. Generally these involve licenses to use the Company’s synthetic biology technology and core metabolic pathway for purposes of either independently developing further improvements to marketed collaboration technologies or products or the processes for producing them within a specified scope agreed to by the Company and Total prior to the time of expiration or termination, or independently developing early stage commercializing products developed from collaboration compounds that met certain performance criteria prior to the time the agreement expired or was terminated and commercializing products related to such compounds. After the Collaboration Agreement expires, the Company may be obligated to provide Total with ongoing access to Amyris laboratory facilities to enable Total to complete research and development activities that commenced prior to termination.

In June 2010, concurrent with the Collaboration Agreement, the Company issued 7,101,548 shares of Series D preferred stock to Total for aggregate proceeds of approximately $133.0 million at a per share price of $18.75 , which was lower than the per share fair value of common stock as determined by management and the Board of Directors. Due to the fact the Collaboration Agreement and the issuance of shares to Total occurred concurrently, the terms of both the Collaboration Agreement and the issuance of preferred stock were evaluated to determine whether their separately stated pricing was equal to the fair value of services and preferred stock. The Company determined that the fair value of Series D preferred stock was $22.68 at the time of issuance, and therefore, the Company measured the preferred stock initially at its fair value with a corresponding reduction in the consideration for the services under the Collaboration Agreement. As revenue from the Collaboration Agreement will be generated over a period of time based on the performance requirements, the Company recorded the difference between the fair value and consideration received for the Series D preferred stock of $27.9 million as a Deferred Charge Asset within "Other Assets" on the balance sheet at the time of issuance which will be recognized as a reduction to revenue in proportion to the total estimated revenue under the collaboration agreement. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , the Company has recognized a cumulative reduction of $27.9 million and $27.9 million , respectively, against the deferred charge asset.

As a result of recording the Series D preferred stock at its fair value, the effective conversion price was greater than the fair value of common stock as determined by management and the Board of Directors. Therefore, no beneficial conversion feature

103



was recorded at the time of issuance. The Company further determined that the conversion option with a contingent reduction in the conversion price upon a qualified IPO was a potential contingent beneficial feature and, as a result, the Company calculated the intrinsic value of such conversion option upon occurrence of the qualified IPO. The Company determined that a contingent beneficial conversion feature existed and the Company recorded a charge within the equity section of its balance sheet, which impacted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2010, based upon the price at which shares were offered to the public in the IPO in relation to the adjustment provisions provided for the Series D preferred stock.
 
In connection with Total’s equity investment, the Company agreed to appoint a person designated by Total to serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors in the class subject to the latest reelection date, and to use reasonable efforts, consistent with the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties, to cause the director designated by Total to be re-nominated by the Board of Directors in the future. These membership rights terminate upon the earlier of Total holding less than half of the shares of common stock originally issuable upon conversion of the Series D preferred stock or a sale of the Company.

The Company also agreed with Total that, so long as Total holds at least 10% of the Company’s voting securities, the Company will notify Total if the Company’s Board of Directors seeks to cause the sale of the Company or if the Company receives an offer to be acquired. In the event of such decision or offer, the Company must provide Total with all information given to an offering party and certain other information, and Total will have an exclusive negotiating period of fifteen business days in the event the Board of Directors authorizes the Company to solicit offers to buy the Company, or five business days in the event that the Company receives an unsolicited offer to be acquired. This exclusive negotiation period will be followed by an additional restricted negotiation period of ten business days, during which the Company will be obligated to negotiate with Total and will be prohibited from entering into an agreement with any other potential acquirer. Total has also entered into a standstill agreement pursuant to which it agreed for a period of three years not to acquire in excess of the greater of 20% of the number of shares of Series D preferred stock purchased by Total (during the initial two years) or 30% (during the third year) of the Company’s common stock without the prior consent of the Company's Board of Directors, except that, among other things, if another person acquires more than Total’s then current holdings of the Company’s common stock, then Total may acquire up to that amount plus one share.

In November 2011, the Company and Total entered into an amendment of their Technology License, Development, Research and Collaboration Agreement (referred to as the Amendment). The Amendment provided for an exclusive strategic collaboration for the development of renewable diesel products and contemplated that the parties would establish a joint venture (or the JV) for the production and commercialization of such renewable diesel products on an exclusive, worldwide basis. In addition, the Amendment contemplated providing the JV with the right to produce and commercialize certain other chemical products on a non-exclusive basis. The amendment further provided that definitive agreements to form the JV had to be in place by March 31, 2012 or such other date as agreed to by the parties or the renewable diesel program, including any further collaboration payments by Total related to the renewable diesel program, would terminate. In the second quarter of 2012, the parties extended the deadline to June 30, 2012, and, through June 30, 2012 the parties were engaged in discussions regarding the structure of future payments related to the program, until the amendment was superseded by a further amendment in July 2012.

Pursuant to the Amendment, Total agreed to fund the following amounts: (i) the first $30.0 million in research and development costs related to the renewable diesel program which have been incurred since August 1, 2011, which amount would be in addition to the $50.0 million in research and development funding contemplated by the Collaboration Agreement, and (ii) for any research and development costs incurred following the JV formation date that were not covered by the initial $30.0 million , an additional $10.0 million in 2012 and up to an additional $10.0 million in 2013, which amounts would be considered part of the $50.0 million contemplated by the Collaboration Agreement. In addition to these payments, Total further agreed to fund 50%  of all remaining research and development costs for the renewable diesel program under the Amendment.

In July 2012 , the Company entered into the July 2012 Agreements with Total that expanded Total's investment in the biofene collaboration to encompass certain joint venture products for use in diesel and jet fuel on a worldwide basis and provide a new structure for the research and development program and formation of the joint venture (or the Fuels JV), to commercialize the products encompassed by the diesel and jet fuel research and development program (the “Program”) and change the structure of the funding from Total to include a convertible debt mechanism (see Note 5, "Debt"). As a part of the July 2012 Agreements, Total's royalty option contingency related to diesel was removed and the jet fuel collaboration was combined with the expanded biofene collaboration. As a result, $46.5 million of payments received from Total that had been recorded as an advance from the collaborator were no longer contingently repayable. Of this amount, $23.3 million was treated as a repayment by the Company and included as part of the senior unsecured convertible promissory note issued to Total in July 2012 and the remaining $23.2 million was recorded as a contract to perform research and development services, which was offset by the reduction of the capitalized deferred charge asset of $14.4 million resulting in the Company recording revenue from a related party of $8.9 million in 2012.

Under the July 2012 Agreements, the Company controls operations and execution of the Program subject to strategic and ultimate decision-making authority by a management committee composed of Company and Total representatives, and Total

104



participates in the ultimate Fuels JV, or receives rights to recover its investment if, at a series of decision points, it decides not to proceed with the project. The agreements contemplate that the parties would grant exclusive manufacturing and commercial licenses to the Fuels JV for the Fuels JV products when the Fuels JV is formed (subject to requirements for the Company to grant the license to Total in the event the Fuels JV is not formed because of a deadlock, followed by an election by the Company to sell to Total the assets it otherwise would have contributed to the Fuels JV, or earlier under certain circumstances), and that the Company would retain the right to make and sell products other than the Fuels JV products. Under the agreements, the Fuels JV licenses would be consistent with the principle that development, production and commercialization of the Fuels JV products in Brazil will remain with the Company unless Total elects, after formation of the Fuels JV, to have such business contributed to the Fuels JV. The agreements also provide that certain Fuels JV non-exclusive products that were contemplated by the November 2011 amendment to the collaboration agreement are no longer to be included in the Fuels JV, but that the parties will explore potential development and commercialization of such products at a later date.

The agreements contemplate that the research and development efforts under the Program may extend through 2016, with a series of “Go/No Go” decisions by Total through such date tied to funding by Total. Each funding tranche involves the issuance of senior unsecured convertible promissory notes by the Company to Total (see Note 5, "Debt"). The agreements provided for cash funding by Total of $15.0 million in July 2012 and an additional $15.0 million in September 2012 . Such funding occurred in July and September as contemplated by the agreements. Further, Total funded $30.0 million in July 2013 , and, if it chooses to proceed with the Program, will fund an additional $10.85 million in July 2014 and $10.85 million in January 2015 (referred to as the Third Closing). Thirty days following the earlier of the completion of the research and development program or December 31, 2016, Total has a final opportunity to decide whether or not to proceed with the Program.

At either of the decision points tied to the funding described above (in July 2013 or July 2014), if Total decides not to continue to fund the Program (or, at any funding date does not provide funding based on (i) the Company's failure to satisfy a closing condition under the purchase agreement for the notes, or (ii) Total's breach of the purchase agreement), the notes previously issued under the purchase agreement would remain outstanding and become payable by the Company at the maturity date in March 2017, the Program and associated agreements would terminate, all Company rights granted for use in farnesene-based diesel and farnesene-based jet fuel would revert to the Company, and no Fuels JV would be formed to commercialize the Fuels JV products.

In the final “Go/No Go” decision described above, Total may elect to (i) go forward with the full Program (diesel and jet fuel) (a “Go” decision), (ii) not continue its participation in the full Program, or (iii) go forward only with the jet fuel component of the Program, with the following outcomes:

For a “Go” decision by Total with respect to the whole Program, the parties would form the Fuels JV and the notes would be cancelled.

For a “No-Go” decision by Total with respect to the whole Program, the consequences would be as described in the paragraph above regarding a decision by Total not to continue to fund the Program.

For a decision by Total to proceed with the jet fuel component of the Program and not the diesel component of the Program, 70% of the principal amount outstanding under the notes would remain outstanding and become payable by the Company and 30% of the outstanding principal of such notes would be cancelled, the diesel product would no longer be included in the collaboration, the Fuels JV would not receive rights to products for use in diesel fuels, and the Fuels JV would be formed by the parties to commercialize products for use in jet fuels.

The agreements contemplate that the parties will finalize the structure for the Fuels JV as set forth in the agreements and that the Fuels JV, if and when it is formed, would, subject to the conditions described below and absent other agreement, be owned equally ( 50% / 50% ) by the Company and Total. Under the agreements, the parties will, prior to the projected completion date, enter into a shareholders' agreement governing the Fuels JV, agree on the budget and business plan for the Fuels JV, and form the Fuels JV. In addition, following a final “Go” decision, the parties would enter into the Fuels JV license agreements, contribution agreements and other agreements required to establish the Fuels JV and enable it to operate.

Within thirty days prior to the final “Go” decision, Total may declare a “deadlock” if the parties fail to come to agreement on various matters relating to the formation of the Fuels JV, at which point Total may (i) elect to declare a “No-Go” decision, which has the consequences described above, or (ii) initiate a process whereby the fair value of the proposed Fuels JV would be determined and the Company would then have the option to: (i) elect to sell to Total the assets that the Company would have been required to contribute to the Fuels JV for an amount equal to 50% of such fair value; (ii) proceed with the formation of the Fuels JV (accepting Total's position with respect to the funding requirement of the Fuels JV) and becoming a 50% owner of the Fuels JV; or (iii) proceed with the formation of the Fuels JV (accepting Total's position with respect to the funding requirements of the

105



Fuels JV), and then sell all or a portion of its 50% interest in the Fuels JV to Total for a price equal to the fair value multiplied by the percentage ownership of the Fuels JV sold to Total.

The agreements provide that the Company would initially retain its ability to develop its diesel and jet fuel business in Brazil, and that Total has an option to require the Company to contribute its Brazil diesel and jet fuel business to the Fuels JV at a price determined pursuant to the agreements. Such option terminates if the Fuels JV is not formed or if Total subsequently buys out the Company's Fuels JV contribution. Furthermore, the option is limited to the jet fuel business if Total opts out of the diesel component of the Program as described above.

Under the agreements, Total has a right to participate in future equity or convertible debt financings of the Company through December 31, 2013 to preserve its pro rata ownership of the Company and thereafter in limited circumstances. The purchase price for the first $30.0 million of purchases under this pro rata right would be paid by cancellation of outstanding notes held by Total.

In connection with the purchase agreement and sale of the Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement. Under such agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC registering the resale of all of the shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes within twenty days prior to the maturity date of the notes or within 30 days following optional conversion. In addition, the Company is obligated to have the registration statement declared effective within 70 - 100 days following the filing depending on whether the Company receives comments from the SEC. If the registration statement filing is delayed or the registration statement is not declared effective within the foregoing time frames, the Company is required to make certain monthly payments to the Total.
 
As a result, $46.5 million of payments received from Total that had been recorded as an advance from the collaborator were no longer contingently repayable. Of this amount, $23.3 million was treated as a repayment by the Company and included as part of the senior unsecured convertible promissory note issued to Total in July 2012 and the remaining $23.2 million was recorded as a contract to perform research and development services, which was offset by the reduction of the capitalized deferred charge asset of $14.4 million resulting in the Company recording revenue from a related party of $8.9 million .

In December 2012, Total elected to participate in a private placement of the Company's common stock by exchanging approximately $5.0 million of its $53.3 million in senior unsecured convertible promissory notes into 1,677,852 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.98 per share. As such, $5.0 million of the outstanding $53.3 million in senior unsecured convertible debt was cancelled.

In March 2013, the Company entered into the March 2013 Letter Agreement under which Total agreed to waive its right and to cease its participation in the fuels collaboration at the July 2013 decision point and committed to proceed with the July 2013 funding tranche of $30.0 million (subject to the Company's satisfaction of the relevant closing conditions for such funding in the Total Purchase Agreement). As consideration for this waiver and commitment, the Company agreed to:

Reduce the conversion price for the senior unsecured convertible promissory notes to be issued in connection with such funding from $7.0682 per share to a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the consolidated closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the date of the letter agreement, plus $0.01 , and (ii) $3.08 per share, provided that the conversion price would not be reduced by more than the maximum possible amount permitted under the rules of NASDAQ such that the new conversion price would require the Company to obtain stockholder consent; and
Grant Total a senior security interest in the Company's intellectual property, subject to certain exclusions and subject to release by Total when the Company and Total enter into final documentation regarding the establishment of the Fuels JV.

In addition to the waiver by Total described above, Total also agreed that, at the Company's request and contingent upon the Company meeting its obligations described above, it would pay advance installments of the amounts otherwise payable at the July 2013 closing. Specifically, if the Company requested such advance installments, subject to certain closing conditions and delivery of certifications regarding the Company's cash levels, Total was obligated to fund $10.0 million no later than May 15, 2013, and an additional $10.0 million no later than June 15, 2013 , with the remainder to be funded on the original July 2013 closing date.

In June 2013, the Company sold and issued a 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note to Total in the face amount of $10.0 million with a March 1, 2017 maturity date pursuant to the Total Purchase Agreement as discussed above. In accordance with the March 2013 Letter Agreement, this convertible note has an initial conversion price equal to $3.08 per share of the Company's common stock. The Company did not request the May advance of $10.0 million , but did request the June advance (as described above), under which this convertible note was issued (see Note 5, "Debt").


106



In July 2013, the Company sold and issued a 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note to Total in the face amount of $20.0 million with a March 1, 2017 maturity date pursuant to the Total Purchase Agreement as discussed above (see Note 5, "Debt"). This purchase and sale completed Total's commitment to purchase $30.0 million of such notes by July 2013. In accordance with the March 2013 Letter Agreement, this convertible note has an initial conversion price equal to $3.08 per share of Company common stock.

The conversion prices of the notes issued under the Total Purchase Agreement are subject to adjustment for proportional adjustments to outstanding common stock and under anti-dilution provisions in case of certain dividends and distributions. Total has a right to require repayment of 101% of the principal amount of the notes in the event of a change of control of the Company and the notes provide for payment of unpaid interest on conversion following such a change of control if Total does not require such repayment. The purchase agreement and notes include covenants regarding payment of interest, maintenance of the Company's listing status, limitations on debt, maintenance of corporate existence, and filing of SEC reports. The notes include standard events of default resulting in acceleration of indebtedness, including failure to pay, bankruptcy and insolvency, cross-defaults, and breaches of the covenants in the purchase agreement and notes, with added default interest rates and associated cure periods applicable to the covenant regarding SEC reporting. Furthermore, the notes include restrictions on the amount of debt the Company is permitted to incur. With exceptions for certain existing debt, refinancing of such debt and certain other exclusions and waivers, the notes provide that the Company's total outstanding debt at any time cannot exceed the greater of $200.0 million or 50% of its consolidated total assets and its secured debt cannot exceed the greater of $125.0 million or 30% of its consolidated total assets. In connection with the Company’s closing of a short-term bridge loan for $35.0 million in October 2013, Total waived compliance with the debt limitations outlined above as to the $35.0 million bridge loan and the August 2013 Financing.

In connection with the August 2013 Financing, the Company entered into the August 2013 SPA (see Note 1, "The Company" and Note 5, "Debt") with Total and Temasek to sell up to $73.0 million in convertible promissory notes in private placements, with such notes to be sold and issued over a period of up to 24 months from the date of signing. The August 2013 SPA provided for the August 2013 Financing to be divided into two tranches (the first tranche for $42.6 million and the second tranche for $30.4 million ), each with differing closing conditions. Of the total possible purchase price in the financing, $60.0 million to be paid in the form of cash by Temasek ( $35.0 million in the first tranche and up to $25.0 million in the second tranche) and $13.0 million to be paid by the exchange and cancellation of outstanding convertible promissory notes held by Total in connection with its exercise of pro rata rights ( $7.6 million in the first tranche and $5.4 million in the second tranche). The August 2013 SPA included requirements that the Company meet certain production milestones before the second tranche would become available, obtain stockholder approval prior to completing any closing of the transaction, and issue a warrant to Temasek to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, exercisable only if Total converts preexisting promissory notes with a certain per share conversion price. In September 2013, the Company's stockholders approved the August 2013 Financing.

In October 2013, the Company amended the August 2013 SPA (referred to as the Amendment No. 1 to SPA) (see Note 1, "The Company") to include Fidelity Entities in the Tranche I Notes in the principal amount of $7.6 million , and to proportionally increase the amount acquired by exchange and cancellation of outstanding convertible notes held by Total through pro rata rights to $14.6 million ( $9.2 million in the Tranche I and up to $5.4 million in the Tranche II). Also in October 2013, the Company completed the closing of the first tranche of the August 2013 Financing, issuing a total of $51.8 million in convertible promissory notes (the “Tranche I Notes”) for cash proceeds of $7.6 million and cancellation of outstanding convertible promissory notes of $44.2 million , of which $35.0 million resulted from cancellation of the Temasek Bridge Note (see Note 5, "Debt"). The Tranche I Notes are due sixty months from the date of issuance and will be convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $2.44 , subject to adjustment as described below. The Tranche I Notes are convertible at the option of the holder: (i) at any time after 18 months from the date of the August 2013 SPA, (ii) on a change of control of the Company and (iii) upon the occurrence of an event of default. The conversion price of the Tranche I Notes will be reduced to $2.15 if a specified Company manufacturing plant fails to achieve a total production of 1.0 million liters within a run period of 45 days prior to June 30, 2014, the Company fails to achieve gross margins from product sales of at least 5% prior to June 30, 2014, or the Company reduces the conversion price of certain existing promissory notes held by Total prior to the repayment or conversion of the Tranche I Notes. If either of the production and margin milestones occur, and in addition, the Company reduces the conversion price of certain existing promissory notes held by Total prior to the repayment or conversion of the Tranche I Notes, the conversion price of the Tranche I Notes will be reduced to $1.87 . Each Tranche I Note accrues interest from the date of issuance until the earlier of the date that such Tranche I Note is converted into the Company’s common stock or is repaid in full. Interest accrues at a rate of 5% per six months, compounded semiannually (with graduated interest rates of 6.5% applicable to the first 180 days and 8% applicable thereafter as the sole remedy should the Company fail to maintain NASDAQ listing status or at 6.5% for all other defaults). Interest for the first 30 months is payable in kind and added to the principal every six-months and thereafter, the Company may continue to pay interest in kind by adding to the principal every six-months or may elect to pay interest in cash. The Tranche I Notes may be prepaid by the Company after 30 months from the issuance date and initial interest payment; thereafter the Company has the option to prepay the Tranche I Notes every six months at the date of payment of the semi-annual coupon.

107




The convertible promissory notes issuable in the second tranche of the August 2013 Financing (referred to as the Tranche II Notes) would be due 5 years after the date of the issuance of the first Tranche II Notes and would be subject to a conversion price equal to $2.87 , subject to adjustment as described below. Specifically, the Tranche II Notes would be convertible at the option of the holder (i) at any time 12 months after issuance, (ii) on a change of control of the Company, and (iii) upon the occurrence of an event of default. Each Tranche II Notes will accrue interest from the date of issuance until the earlier of the date that such Tranche II Notes is converted into the Company's common stock or repaid in full. Interest will accrue at a rate per annum equal to 10% , compounded annually (with graduated interest rates of 13% applicable to the first 180 days and 16% applicable thereafter as the sole remedy should the Company fail to maintain NASDAQ listing status or at a rate equal to 12% for all other defaults). Interest for the first 36 months shall be payable in kind and added to the principal every year following the issue date and thereafter, the Company may continue to pay interest in kind by adding to the principal on every year anniversary of the issue date or may elect to pay interest in cash.

In addition to the conversion price adjustments set forth above, the conversion prices of the Tranche I Notes and Tranche II Notes are subject to further adjustment (i) according to proportional adjustments to outstanding common stock of the Company in case of certain dividends and distributions, (ii) according to anti-dilution provisions, and (iii) with respect to notes held by any purchaser other than Total, in the event that Total exchanges existing convertible notes for new securities of the Company in connection with future financing transactions in excess of its pro rata amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of a majority of the principal amount of the notes outstanding at the time of conversion may waive any anti-dilution adjustments to the conversion price. The purchasers have a right to require repayment of 101% of the principal amount of the notes in the event of a change of control of the Company and the notes provide for payment of unpaid interest on conversion following such a change of control if the purchasers do not require such repayment. The August 2013 SPA, Tranche I Notes and Tranche II Notes include covenants regarding payment of interest, maintenance of the Company’s listing status, limitations on debt and on certain liens, maintenance of corporate existence, and filing of SEC reports. The notes include standard events of default resulting in acceleration of indebtedness, including failure to pay, bankruptcy and insolvency, cross-defaults, and breaches of the covenants in the August 2013 SPA, Tranche I Notes and Tranche II Notes, with default interest rates and associated cure periods applicable to the covenant.

In December 2013, the Company executed the JV Documents among Amyris, Total and JVCO relating to the establishment of the JVCO (see Note 7, "Joint Venture and Noncontrolling Interest"), Amyris has agreed to (i) exchange the $69.0 million outstanding Total 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note and issue a replacement 1.5% senior secured convertible notes, in principal amounts equal to the principal amount of each cancelled note (the “Replacement Notes”) and (ii) to grant to Total a security interest in and lien on all Amyris’ rights, title and interest in and to Amyris’ shares in the capital of the JVCO. Any Securities to be purchased and sold at the Third Closing by Total shall be 1.5% senior secured convertible notes shall have a conversion price of $7.0682 . As a consequence of executing the JV Documents and forming JVCO, the Second Amendment of the August 2013 SPA and Restated Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of October 16, 2013, executed by Amyris in favor of Total, Temasek, and certain entities affiliated with Fidelity Investments, under which the Company granted a security interest in all of Amyris’ intellectual property was automatically terminated effective as of December 2, 2013 upon Total’s and the Company’s joint written notice to Temasek. Also, in December 2013, Amyris and Total executed the Amended and Restated Master Framework Agreement which amends and restates the Master Framework Agreement dated July 30, 2012 and amended on March 24, 2013.

In December 2013, the Company, Total, Temasek, Fidelity Entities and Wolverine amended the August 2013 SPA and Amendment No. 1 to SPA (referred to as Amendment No. 2 to SPA). Under the Amendment No. 2 to the SPA the Company placed a $3.0 million of senior unsecured convertible notes under the second tranche of August 2013 Financing to funds affiliated with Wolverine Asset Management and elected to call $25.0 million in additional funds from Temasek pursuant to its previous commitment to purchase such amount of convertible promissory notes in the second tranche. Additionally, the Company agreed to sell approximately $6.0 million of convertible promissory notes in the second tranche to Total through cancellation of the same amount of principal of previously outstanding convertible notes held by Total (in respect of Total’s preexisting contractual right to maintain its pro rata ownership position through such cancellation. The second tranche funding closed in the first quarter of 2014.

108



joint development and license agreement with the collaboration partner. As of December 31, 2013 , $1.5 million was recorded in deferred revenue.

Collaboration Partner Master Collaboration and Joint Development Agreement

In November 2010, the Company entered into a Master Collaboration and Joint Development Agreement with a collaboration partner. Under the agreements, the collaboration partner will fund technical development at the Company to produce an ingredient for the flavors and fragrances (or F&F) market. The Company will manufacture the ingredient and the collaboration partner will market it, and the parties will share in any resulting economic value. The agreement also grants exclusive worldwide F&F commercialization rights to the collaboration partner for the ingredient. Under further agreements, the collaboration partner has an option to collaborate with the Company to develop additional ingredients. These agreements continue in effect until the later of the expiration or termination of the development agreements or the supply agreements. The Company is also eligible to receive potential total payments of $6.0 million upon the achievement of certain performance milestones towards which the Company will be required to make a contributory performance. These milestones are accounted for under the guidance in the FASB accounting standard update related to revenue recognition under the milestone method. The Company concluded that these milestone payments are substantive.

In March 2013, the Company entered into a Master Collaboration Agreement with the collaboration partner to establish a collaboration for the development and commercialization of multiple renewable F&F compounds. Under this agreement, except for rights granted under preexisting collaboration relationships, the Company granted the collaboration partner exclusive access for such compounds to specified Company intellectual property for the development and commercialization of F&F products in exchange for research and development funding and a profit sharing arrangement. The agreement superseded and expand the prior collaboration agreement between the Company and collaboration partner.

The agreement provides annual, up-front funding to the Company by the collaboration partner of $10.0 million for each of the first three years of the collaboration. The initial payment of $10.0 million was received by the Company on March 2013. The agreement contemplates additional funding by the collaboration partner of up to $5.0 million under three potential milestone payments, as well as additional funding by the collaboration partner on a discretionary basis.

In addition, the agreement contemplates that the parties will mutually agree on a supply price for each compound and share product margins from sales of each compound on a 70/30 basis ( 70% for the collaboration partner) until the collaboration partner receives $15.0 million more than the Company in the aggregate, after which the parties will share 50/50 in the product margins on all compounds. The Company also agreed to pay a one-time success bonus of up to $2.5 million to the collaboration partner's for outperforming certain commercialization targets. The collaboration partner eligibility to receive the one -time success bonus commences upon the first sale of the collaboration partner's product.

The agreement does not impose any specific research and development commitments on either party after year six, but if the parties mutually agree to perform development after year six, the agreement provides that the parties will fund it equally.

Under the agreement, the parties jointly select target compounds, subject to final approval of compound specifications by the collaboration partner. During the development phase, the Company is required to provide labor, intellectual property and technology infrastructure and the collaboration partner is required to contribute downstream polishing expertise and market access. The agreement provides that the Company will own research and development and strain engineering intellectual property, and the collaboration partner will own blending and, if applicable, chemical conversion intellectual property. Under certain circumstances such as the Company's insolvency, the collaboration partner gains expanded access to the Company's intellectual property. Following development of F&F compounds under the agreement, the agreement contemplates that Company will manufacture the initial target molecules for the compounds and the collaboration partner will perform any required downstream polishing and distribution, sales and marketing.

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 the Company recorded $8.2 million , $4.8 million and $5.2 million , respectively, of revenue from the collaboration agreement with the collaboration partner.

Michelin Collaboration Agreement

In September 2011, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Manufacture Francaise des Pneumatiques Michelin (“Michelin”). Under the terms of the collaboration agreement, the Company and Michelin will collaborate on the development, production and worldwide commercialization of isoprene or isoprenol, generally for tire applications, using the Company's technology. Under the agreement, Michelin has agreed to pay an upfront payment to the Company of $5.0 million , subject to a reimbursement provision under which the Company would have to repay $1.0 million if it fails to achieve specified

109



future technical milestones. The agreement provides that, subject to achievement of technical milestones, Michelin can notify the Company of its desired date for initial delivery, and the parties will either collaborate to establish a production facility or use an existing Company facility for production. The agreement also includes a term sheet for a supply agreement that would be negotiated at the time the decision regarding production facilities is made. The agreement has an initial term that will expire upon the earlier of 42 months from the effective date and the completion of a development work plan. As of December 31, 2013 , the Company recorded the upfront payment of $5.0 million from Michelin as deferred revenue.

Manufacturing Agreements

The Company entered into contract manufacturing agreements with various contract manufacturing partners to utilize their manufacturing facilities to produce Amyris products.

In March 2012, the Company initiated a plan to shift a portion of its production capacity from contract manufacturing facilities to a Company-owned plant that was then under construction. As a result, the Company evaluated its contract manufacturing agreements and recorded a loss of $31.2 million related to the write-off of $10.0 million in facility modification costs and the recognition of $21.2 million of fixed purchase commitments in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company recognized an additional charge of $1.4 million and $7.8 million , respectively, in the third and fourth quarters of 2012 associated with loss on fixed purchase commitments. The Company computed the loss on facility modification costs and fixed purchase commitments using the same lower of cost or market approach that is used to value inventory. The computation of the loss on fixed purchase commitments is subject to several estimates, including cost to complete and the ultimate selling price of any Company products manufactured at the relevant production facilities, and is therefore inherently uncertain. The Company also recorded a loss on write-off of production assets of $5.5 million related to Amyris-owned production equipment at contract manufacturing facilities in the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Total loss on purchase commitments and write-off of production assets for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $9.4 million . The Company will continue to evaluate the potential for losses in future periods based on updated production and sales price assumptions.

Tate & Lyle

In November 2010, the Company entered into a Contract Manufacturing Agreement (referred to as the Contract Manufacturing Agreement) with Tate & Lyle Ingredients Americas, Inc. (or Tate & Lyle), an affiliate of Tate & Lyle PLC. Tate & Lyle commenced production operations in the fourth quarter of 2011. At December 31, 2013 and 2012 , the Company has recorded zero and $0.8 million , respectively, in prepaid and other current assets and zero and $2.2 million , respectively, in other noncurrent assets pertaining to the unamortized portion of equipment costs funded by the Company to Tate & Lyle (see Note 4, "Balance Sheet Components"). The related amortization is being offset against purchases of inventory from this contract manufacturer.

The Contract Manufacturing Agreement had secured manufacturing capacity for farnesene through 2016 at Tate & Lyle’s facility in Decatur, Illinois. The Contract Manufacturing Agreement included a base monthly payment and a variable payment based on production volume at the Tate & Lyle facility. With the Company’s commencement of production at its farnesene facility located in Brazil, the Company determined that the Contract Manufacturing Agreement was no longer desired from a cost and operational perspective. The Company had no production at the Tate & Lyle facility since the first quarter of 2013.

In June 2013, the Company and Tate & Lyle entered into a Termination Agreement to terminate the parties’ November 2010 Contract Manufacturing Agreement. The Termination Agreement resolves all outstanding issues that had arisen in connection with the Company’s relationship with Tate & Lyle.

Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company is required to make four payments to Tate & Lyle, totaling approximately $8.8 million , of which $3.6 million is to satisfy outstanding obligations and $5.2 million is in lieu of additional payments otherwise owed under the Contract Manufacturing Agreement. These four payments are due under the Termination Agreement between July 17, 2013 and December 16, 2013, and are deemed to be in full satisfaction of all amounts otherwise owed under the Contract Manufacturing Agreement. Under the Termination Agreement, no further payments will be owed for the remaining term of the Contract Manufacturing Agreement (i.e., through 2016). As a result, the Company recorded a loss of $8.4 million which is included in the loss on purchase commitments and write-off of production assets and consisted of an impairment charge of $6.7 million relating to Company-owned equipment at the Tate & Lyle facility, a $2.7 million write off of an unamortized portion of equipment costs funded by the Company for Tate & Lyle, offset by a reversal of $1.0 million provision for loss on fixed purchase commitments. As of December 31, 2013 , the Company had no outstanding liability under the Termination Agreement.

If the Company fails to exercise its right of first refusal the purchaser of the real property will need to comply with the specific obligations of Paraíso Bioenergia to the Company under the lease agreement.

Albemarle

In July 2011, the Company entered into a contract manufacturing agreement with Albemarle Corporation (or Albemarle), which will provide toll manufacturing services at its facility in Orangeburg, South Carolina. Under this agreement, Albemarle will manufacture lubricant base oils from Biofene, which will be owned and distributed by the Company or a Company-designated commercial partner. The initial term of this agreement is from July 31, 2011 through December 31, 2012. Albemarle is required to modify its facility, including installation and qualification of equipment and instruments necessary to perform the toll manufacturing services under the agreement. The Company reimbursed Albemarle $10.0 million for all capital expenditures related to the facility modification, which was accounted for as a prepaid asset. All equipment or facility modifications acquired or made by Albemarle will be owned by Albemarle, subject to Albemarle's obligation to transfer title to, and ownership of, certain assets to the Company within 30 days after termination of the agreement, at the Company's discretion and sole expense. In March 2012, the Company recorded a loss of $7.8 million related to the write-off of the facility modification costs, described above.

In addition, the Company paid a one-time, non-refundable performance bonus of $5.0 million if Albemarle delivers to the Company certain quantity of the lubricant base stock by December 31, 2011 or $2.0 million if Albemarle delivers the same quantity by January 31, 2012. Based on Albermarle's performance as of December 31, 2011, the Company concluded that Albermarle had earned the bonus which is payable in two payments. The Company paid Albemarle $2.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 and $2.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 .

In February 2012, the Company entered into an amended and restated agreement with Albemarle, which superseded the original contract manufacturing agreement with Albemarle. The term of the new agreement continues through December 31, 2019.  The agreement includes certain obligations for the Company to pay fixed costs totaling $7.5 million , of which $3.5 million and $4.0 million are payable in 2012 and 2014, respectively.

The intangible assets acquired through the Draths Corporation acquisition in October 2011 of in-process research and development of $8.6 million and goodwill of $0.6 million are treated as indefinite lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the projects, at which time the assets will be amortized over the remaining useful life or written-off, as appropriate. If the carrying amount of the assets is greater than the measures of fair value, impairment is considered to have occurred and a write-down of the asset is recorded. Any finding that the value of its intangible assets has been impaired would require the Company to write-down the impaired portion, which could reduce the value of its assets and reduce (increase) its net income (loss) for the year in which the related impairment charges occur. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no impairment of the goodwill and intangible assets was recorded.    

Acquired licenses and permits are amortized using a straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Amortization expense for this intangible was $32,170 , $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , respectively. As of December 31, 2013 , acquired licenses and permits were fully amortized.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company was authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. On May 9, 2013, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation and increased its authorized number of shares of common stock to 200,000,000 . Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to dividends as and when declared by the Board of Directors, subject to the rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights as to dividends.

As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , the Company had zero convertible preferred stock outstanding.

Common Stock Warrants

In December 2011, in connection with a capital lease agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 21,087 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $10.67 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of these warrants as of the issuance date to be $0.2 million and recorded these warrants as other assets and were amortized subsequently over the term of the lease. The fair value was based on the contractual term of the warrants of 10 years, risk free interest rate of 2% , expected volatility of 86% and zero expected dividend yield. These warrants remain unexercised and outstanding as of December 31, 2013 .

In October 2013, in connection with the issuance of the Temasek Tranche I convertible promissory notes (see Note 5, "Debt"), the Company issued contingently exercisable warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of these warrants as of the issuance date at $1.3 million and recorded these warrants as debt issuance cost to be amortized over the term of the note. The fair-value was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model based on the contractual term of the warrants of 3.4 years, risk free interest rate of 0.77% , expected volatility of 45% and zero expected dividend yield. These warrants remain unexercised and outstanding as of December 31, 2013 .

Each of these warrants includes a cashless exercise provision which permits the holder of the warrant to elect to exercise the warrant without paying the cash exercise price, and receive a number of shares determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares for which the warrant is being exercised by (ii) the difference between the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise and the warrant exercise price, and dividing such by (iii) the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 , no warrants were exercised through the cashless exercise provision.

2010 Equity Incentive Plan

The Company's 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (or 2010 Equity Plan) became effective on September 28, 2010 and will terminate in 2020. Pursuant to the 2010 Equity Plan, any shares of the Company’s common stock (i) issued upon exercise of stock options granted under the Company's 2005 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (or the 2005 Plan) that cease to be subject to such option and (ii) issued under the 2005 Plan that are forfeited or repurchased by the Company at the original purchase price will become part of the 2010 Equity Plan. Subsequent to the effective date of the 2010 Equity Plan, an additional 1,730,807 shares that were forfeited under the 2005 Plan were added to the shares reserved for issuance under the 2010 Equity Plan.

The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2010 Equity Plan increase automatically on January 1 st of each year starting with January 1, 2011, by a number of shares equal to 5% percent of the Company’s total outstanding shares as of the immediately preceding December 31 st . The Company’s Board of Directors or the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is able to reduce the amount of the increase in any particular year. The 2010 Equity Plan provides for the granting of common stock options, restricted stock awards, stock bonuses, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance awards. It allows for time-based or performance-based vesting for the awards. Options granted under the 2010 Equity Plan may be either incentive stock options (or ISOs) or non-statutory stock options (or NSOs). ISOs may be granted only to Company employees (including officers and directors who are also employees). NSOs may be granted to Company employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The Company will be able to issue no more than 30,000,000 shares pursuant to the grant of ISOs under the 2010 Equity Plan. Options under the 2010 Equity Plan may be granted for periods of up to ten years. All options issued to date have had a ten year life. Under the plan, the exercise price of any ISOs and NSOs may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The exercise price of any ISOs and NSOs granted to a 10% stockholder may not be less than 110% of the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The options granted to date generally vest over four to five years.

As of December 31, 2013 , options to purchase 6,334,836 shares of the Company's common stock granted from the 2010 Equity Plan were outstanding and 4,351,596 shares of the Company’s common stock remained available for future awards that may be granted from the 2010 Equity Plan. The options outstanding as of December 31, 2013 had a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $7.04 per share.

2005 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan

In 2005, the Company established its 2005 Plan which provided for the granting of common stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock and stock purchase rights awards to employees and consultants of the Company. The 2005 Plan allowed for time-based or performance-based vesting for the awards. Options granted under the 2005 Plan were ISOs or NSOs. ISOs were granted only to Company employees (including officers and directors who are also employees). NSOs were granted to Company employees, non-employee directors, and consultants.

All options issued under the 2005 Plan have had a ten year life. The exercise prices of ISOs and NSOs granted under the 2005 Plan were not less than 100% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. The exercise price of an ISO and NSO granted to a 10% stockholder could not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors. The options generally vested over 5 years.

As of December 31, 2013 , options to purchase 2,014,769 shares of the Company’s common stock granted from the 2005 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan remained outstanding and, as a result of the adoption of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan discussed above, zero shares of the Company’s common stock remained available for issuance under the 2005 Plan. The options outstanding under the 2005 Plan as of December 31, 2013 had a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $8.59 per share.

2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (referred to as the 2010 ESPP) became effective on September 28, 2010. The 2010 ESPP is designed to enable eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount. Each offering period is for one year and consists of two six-month purchase periods. Each twelve-month offering period generally commences on May 16 th and November 16 th , each consisting of two six-month purchase periods. The purchase price for shares of common stock under the 2010 ESPP is the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first day of the applicable offering period or the last day of each purchase period. A total of 168,627 shares of common stock were initially reserved for future issuance under the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. During the first eight years of the life of the 2010 ESPP, the number of shares reserved for issuance increases automatically on January 1 st of each year, starting with January 1, 2011, by a number of shares equal to 1% of the Company’s total outstanding shares as of the immediately preceding December 31 st . Pursuant to the automatic increase provision, an additional 687,096 shares were reserved for issuance during the year ended December 31, 2013 for a cumulative total of 1,584,895 additional shares reserved for issuance under the automatic increase provision. The Company’s Board of Directors or the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is able to reduce the amount of the increase in any particular year. No more than 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued under the 2010 ESPP and no other shares may be added to this plan without the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

During the year ended December 31, 2013 , 472,039 shares of the Company's common stock were purchased under the 2010 ESPP. At December 31, 2013 , 401,757 shares of the Company’s common stock remained available for issuance under the 2010 ESPP.

Employee Stock–Based Compensation

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , the Company granted options to purchase 2,849,919 shares, 3,589,593 shares, and 2,677,249 shares of its common stock, respectively, to employees with weighted-average grant date fair values of $1.98 , $2.28 , and $18.41  per share, respectively. Compensation expense of $13.1 million , $20.2 million , and $19.2 million was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , respectively, for stock-based options granted to employees. As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , there were unrecognized compensation costs of $15.0 million , $51.2 million , and $54.7 million , respectively, related to these stock options. The Company expects to recognize those costs over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years as of December 31, 2013 . Future option grants will increase the amount of compensation expense to be recorded in these periods.

In August 2012, the Company's CEO exercised outstanding options to purchase 668,730 shares of the Company's common stock and sold the shares to certain members of the Company's Board of Directors or their affiliates through a private sale at a price of $3.70 , which was greater than the fair market value of the stock at the date of sale. The Company recorded $0.4 million in stock-based compensation expense as an excess of the sale price over the fair market value of shares in this transaction during the year ended December 31, 2012.

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , 1,222,250 , 2,956,900 and 352,301 of restricted stock units, respectively, were granted to employees with a weighted-average service-inception date fair value of $2.85 , $3.46 and $29.85 per unit, respectively. The Company recognized a total of $4.1 million , $6.3 million and $3.6 million , respectively, in December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 in stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units granted to employees. As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , there were unrecognized compensation costs of $3.6 million , $7.8 million and $6.0 million , respectively, related to these restricted stock units.

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , the Company also recognized stock-based compensation expense related to its 2010 ESPP of $0.6 million , $0.8 million , and $1.9 million , respectively.

Employee stock-based compensation expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 included $1.0 million and $0.9 million , respectively, related to option modifications. As part of separation agreements with certain former senior employees, the Company agreed to accelerate the vesting of options for 458,424 and 825,523 shares of common stock and extend the exercise period for certain grants in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. The stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 , includes the impact of a repricing of stock options in June 2012 under which certain non-executive employees received a one-time reduction in the exercise price for such options with per share exercise prices per share higher than $24.00 held by U.S. employees of Amyris and the new exercise price for such options was $16.00 , the Company's initial public offering price. The total amount of the stock-based compensation associated with repricing was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company commenced sales of farnesene-derived products which were produced by contracted third parties. Accordingly, the Company did not have any dedicated production headcount so there is no stock-based compensation expense recorded in cost of products sold.
 
Stock-based compensation cost for RSUs is measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation cost for stock options and employee stock purchase plan rights is estimated at the grant date and offering date, respectively, based on the fair-value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of employee stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The fair value of employee stock options was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Expected Dividend Yield —The Company has never paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends.

Risk-Free Interest Rate —The risk-free interest rate was based on the market yield currently available on United States Treasury securities with maturities approximately equal to the option’s expected term.

Expected Term —Expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company’s assumptions about the expected term have been based on that of companies that have similar industry, life cycle, revenue, and market capitalization and the historical data on employee exercises.

Expected Volatility —The expected volatility is based on a combination of historical volatility for the Company's stock and the historical stock volatilities of several of the Company’s publicly listed comparable companies over a period equal to the expected terms of the options, as the Company does not have a long trading history.

Forfeiture Rate —The Company estimates its forfeiture rate based on an analysis of its actual forfeitures and will continue to evaluate the adequacy of the forfeiture rate based on actual forfeiture experience, analysis of employee turnover behavior, and other factors. The impact from a forfeiture rate adjustment will be recognized in full in the period of adjustment, and if the actual

number of future forfeitures differs from that estimated by the Company, the Company may be required to record adjustments to stock-based compensation expense in future periods.

Each of the inputs discussed above is subjective and generally requires significant management and director judgment.

Nonemployee Stock–Based Compensation

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , the Company granted nonemployee options to purchase 140,000 , 3,000 and 15,000 shares of its common stock, respectively, to nonemployees in exchange for services. Compensation expense of $0.1 million , $86,000 and $0.8 million was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , respectively, for stock-based options granted to nonemployees. The nonemployee options were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , zero , 10,000 and 32,855 restricted stock units, respectively, were granted to nonemployees and a total of $0.1 million , $58,000 and $0.1 million , respectively, in stock-based compensation expense was recognized by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 .

The fair value of nonemployee stock options was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Joint Venture

In November 2013, the Company and Total Energies Nouvelles Activités USA (formerly known as Total Gas & Power USA, SAS), formed Total Amyris BioSolutions B.V., a private company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (or JVCO). The common equity of JVCO is jointly owned ( 50% /50%) by the Company and Total, and the preferred equity of JVCO is 100% owned by the Company. The Parties have agreed that JVCO’s purpose is limited to executing the License Agreement and maintaining such licenses under it, unless and until either (i) Total elects to go forward with either the full (diesel and jet fuel) JVCO commercialization program or the jet fuel component of the JVCO commercialization program (a “Go Decision”), (ii) Total elects to not continue its participation in the R&D Program and JVCO (a “No-Go Decision”), or (iii) Total exercises any of its rights to buy out the Company’s interest in JVCO.  Following a Go Decision, the Articles and Shareholders’ Agreement would be amended and restated to be consistent with the shareholders’ agreement contemplated by the July 2012 Agreements (see Note 7, "Joint Venture and Noncontrolling Interest").


14. Income Taxes

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $0.8 million and a provision for income taxes of $1.0 million and $0.6 million , respectively. In the year ended December 31, 2013, the recorded tax benefit was associated with the conversion of certain loans to equity, which reduces the accrual of the interest from the Company's subsidiary and will correspondingly eliminate the withholding tax obligation. The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, generally relates to accrued withholding taxes that would be due in connection with the payment of interest on intercompany loans. Other than the above mentioned provision for income tax, no additional provision for income taxes has been made, net of the valuation allowance, due to cumulative losses since the commencement of operations.

Recognition of deferred tax assets is appropriate when realization of such assets is more likely than not. Based upon the weight of available evidence, especially the uncertainties surrounding the realization of deferred tax assets through future taxable income, the Company believes it is not yet more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 . The valuation allowance increased $47.7 million , $79.5 million , and $80.7 million , during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 , respectively.

As of December 31, 2013 , the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $440.4 million and $198.3 million , respectively, available to reduce future taxable income, if any. Approximately $25.8 million and $12.8 million of the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, resulted from exercises of employee stock options and vesting of restricted stock units and have not been included in the Company’s gross deferred tax assets. In accordance with ASC 718, such unrealized tax benefits will be accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital if and when realized through a reduction in income taxes payable.

The Company also has federal research and development credits of $6.7 million and California research and development credit carryforwards of $7.5 million , respectively, at December 31, 2013

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 and similar state provisions limit the use of net operating loss and credit carryforwards in certain situations where equity transactions result in a change of ownership as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 382. In the event the Company has experienced an ownership change, as defined, utilization of its federal and state net operating loss and credit carryforwards could be limited. If not utilized, the federal net operating loss carryforward begins expiring in 2025, and the California net operating loss carryforward begins expiring in 2015. The federal research and development credit carryforwards will expire starting in 2024 if not utilized. The California tax credits can be carried forward indefinitely.

In January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (referred to as the ATRA) was enacted. Under prior law, a taxpayer was entitled to a research tax credit for qualifying amounts incurred through December 31, 2011. The ATRA extends the research credit for two years for qualified research expenditures incurred through the end of 2013. The extension of the research credit is retroactive and includes amounts incurred after 2011. The benefit of the reinstated credit did not impact the income statement in the period of enactment, which is the first quarter of 2013, as the research and development credit carryforwards are offset by a full valuation allowance.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the accounting guidance on uncertainties in income taxes. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits since the adoption of accounting guidance on uncertainty in income taxes is as follows:

The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for taxes. The Company determined that no accrual for interest and penalties was required as of December 31, 2013 .

As of December 31, 2013 , the Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits were $6.1 million , of which none of the tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate due to the valuation allowance that currently offsets deferred tax assets. The Company does not anticipate the total amount of unrecognized income tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months.

The Company’s primary tax jurisdiction is the United States. For United States federal and state tax purposes, tax years 2003 and forward remain open and subject to tax examination by the appropriate federal or state taxing authorities. Brazil tax years 2008 through the current remain open and subject to examination.

As of December 31, 2013 , the US Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has completed its audit of the Company for tax year 2008 which concluded that there were no adjustments resulting from the audit. While the statutes are closed for tax year 2008, the

122



US federal tax carryforwards (net operating losses and tax credits) may be adjusted by the IRS in the year in which the carryforward is utilized.


15. Reporting Segments

The chief operating decision maker for the Company is the chief executive officer. The chief executive officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about revenue by geographic region, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company has one business activity comprised of research and development and sales of fuels and farnesene-derived products and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results or plans for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single reportable segment and operating segment structure.

Revenues by geography are based on the location of the customer. The following tables set forth revenue and long-lived assets by geographic area (in thousands):

16. Subsequent Events

Tranche II Notes

In January 2014, the Company sold and issued, for face value, approximately $34.0 million of senior convertible promissory notes in a closing under the August 2013 SPA , as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Securities Purchase Agreement in October 2013 and Amendment No. 2 to Securities Purchase Agreement and Tranche I Note Amendment in December 2013.

In January 2014, Temasek purchased $25.0 million of the Tranche II Notes for cash and certain funds affiliated with Wolverine Asset Management, LLC purchased $3.0 million of the Tranche II Notes for cash. Total purchased approximately $6.0 million of the Tranche II Notes through cancellation of the same amount of principal of previously outstanding convertible promissory notes held by Total (in respect to Total's preexisting contractual right to maintain its pro rata ownership position through such cancellation). The Tranche II Notes are due sixty months from the date of issuance and become convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to $2.87 , which represents a trailing 60-day weighted-average closing price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market through August 7, 2013, subject to adjustment as described below. Specifically, the Tranche II Notes become convertible at the option of the holder (i) at any time 12 months after issuance, (ii) on a change of control of the Company, and (iii) upon the occurrence of an event of default. Each Tranche II Note accrues interest from the date of issuance until the earlier of the date that such Tranche II Note is converted into Common Stock or repaid in full. Interest accrues at a rate per annum equal to 10% , compounded annually (with graduated interest rates of 13% applicable to the first 180 days and 16% applicable thereafter as the sole remedy should the Company fail to maintain NASDAQ listing status or at 12% for all other defaults). Interest for the first 36 months shall be payable in kind and added to principal every year following the issue date and

123



thereafter, the Company may continue to pay interest in kind by adding to principal on every year anniversary of the issue date or may elect to pay interest in cash. The conversion price of the Tranche II Notes is subject to adjustment (i) according to proportional adjustments to outstanding Common Stock in the case of certain dividends and distributions, (ii) according to anti-dilution provisions, and (iii) with respect to Tranche II Notes held by any purchase other than Total, in the event that Total exchanges existing convertible notes for new securities of the Company in connection with future financing transactions in excess of its pro rata amount. The holders of the Tranche II Notes have a right to require repayment of 101% of the principal amount of the Tranche II Notes in the event of a change in control of the Company and the Tranche II Notes provide for payment of unpaid interest on conversion following such a change of control if the holders do not require such repayment.

SMA Indústria Química S.A.

In February 2014, the Company, Amyris Brasil and SMSA entered into an amendment dated January 27, 2014 of the joint venture agreement that the parties originally entered into on April 2010 (see Note 7, "Joint venture and noncontrolling interest"). The amendment to the joint venture agreement with SMSA updates and documents certain preexisting business plan requirements related to the start-up of construction at the joint venture operated plant and sets forth, among other things, (i) the extension of the deadline for the commencement of operations at the joint venture operated plant to no later than 18 months following the construction of the plant, which shall occur no later than March 31, 2017, and (ii) the extension of an option held by SMSA to build a second large-scale farnesene production facility to no later than December 31, 2018 with the commencement of operations at such second facility to occur no later than April 1, 2019.

Export Financing with ABC

In March, 2014, the Company entered into an export financing agreement with ABC Bank for R$5.0 million (approximately US$2.2 million based on exchange rate as of the date the parties entered into the agreement) for a 1 year-term to fund exports through March 2015 .

Kuraray Securities Purchase Agreement

On March 28, 2014 , the Company and Kuraray Co., Ltd. (or Kuraray) entered into a securities purchase agreement under which the Company agreed to sell shares of its common stock at a price equal to the greater of $2.88 per share or the average daily closing prices per share on the NASDAQ Stock Market for the three month period ending March 27, 2014 for an aggregate purchase price of $4.0 million . The Company and Kuraray also agreed to amend their prexisting collaboration agreement to expand and extend their collaboration with respect to high performance polymers.

Hercules Loan Facility

On March 29, 2014 , the Company and Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. entered into a loan and security agreement to make available to Amyris a loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million (referred to as the Hercules Loan Facility), and the Company borrowed the full amount available under the facility. Loans under the facility are secured by various liens, including a lien on certain Company intellectual property. The Hercules Loan Facility generally becomes due on May 31, 2015 and accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of either the prime rate reported in the Wall Street Journal plus 6.25% or 9.5% . The maturity date is extended to May 31, 2017 if the Company completes a financing transaction for at least $50.0 million in additional cash proceeds by September 30, 2014 . The Company may repay the loaned amounts before the maturity date if it pays an additional fee of 3% of the outstanding loans ( 1% if after the initial twelve-month period). The Company is also required to pay a 1% facility charge at the closing of the transaction, and a 10% end of term charge. In connection with the Hercules Loan Facility, Amyris agreed to certain customary representations and warranties and covenants, as well as certain covenants with respect to obtaining additional financing as described above and performance covenants related to revenues and cash flows starting with the third quarter of 2014. If the Company does not achieve the equity financing covenant, a forbearance fee of $10.0 million becomes due and is required to be paid at the end of the initial term of the facility.

March 2014 Letter Agreement with Total

On April 1, 2014, the Company and Total entered into a letter agreement dated as of March 29, 2014 (referred to as March 2014 Letter Agreement) to amend the Amended and Restated Master Framework Agreement entered into as of December 2, 2013 (included as part of JV Documents). Under the March 2014 Letter Agreement, the Company agreed to (i) amend the conversion price of the Third Closing from $7.0682 to $4.11 (or the “New Conversion Price”) subject to stockholder approval at our 2014 annual meeting (to the extent required by applicable law or regulation), (ii) extend the period during which Total may exchange for other Company securities certain outstanding convertible promissory notes issued under the July 2012 Agreements from June

124



30, 2014 to the later of December 31, 2014 and the date on which Amyris shall have raised $75.0 million of equity and convertible debt financing (excluding any convertible promissory notes issued pursuant to the Total Purchase Agreement), (iii) eliminate the Company’s ability to qualify, in a disclosure letter to Total, certain of the representations and warranties that the Company must make at the closing of any sale of the Third Closing, and (iv) provide Total with monthly reporting on the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. In consideration of these agreements, Total agreed to waive its right not to consummate the closing of the issuance of the Remaining Notes if it decides not to proceed with the collaboration and makes a "No-Go" decision with respect thereto, subject to the Company obtaining stockholder approval of the issuance of the Third Closing at the New Conversion Price.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not applicable.



ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO) concluded that, as of December 31, 2013 , our disclosure controls and procedures are designed and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


126



Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

Pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect in reasonable detail the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

Provide reasonable assurances regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

Our management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, the end of our fiscal year. Management based its assessment on criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission . Based on management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during our fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

Not applicable.

PART III

Certain information required by Part III is omitted from this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference from our definitive proxy statement, relating to our 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, also referred to in this Form 10-K as our 2014 Proxy Statement, which we expect to file with the SEC no later than April 30, 2014.


ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The information appearing in our 2014 Proxy Statement under the following headings is incorporated herein by reference:

Proposal 1—Election of Directors
Corporate Governance
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

The information under the heading “Executive Officers of the Registrant” in Item 1(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K is also incorporated by reference in this section.

Number of Shares:    1,000,000
Class of Stock:     Common Stock
Warrant Price:     $0.01 per share
Issue Date:     October 16, 2013
Expiration Date:     The 10th anniversary after the Issue Date
Credit Facility:
This Warrant is issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement between Company, Maxwell (Mauritius) Pte Ltd and certain other investors dated as of August 8, 2013, as amended from time to time (the “Purchase Agreement”).

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, MAXWELL (MAURITIUS) PTE LTD (together with any registered holder from time to time of this Warrant or any holder of the shares issuable or issued upon exercise of this Warrant “Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the “Shares”) of the Company at the Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

ARTICLE 1     EXERCISE .

1.1 Conditions to Exercise . Holder may not exercise this Warrant unless and until Total Energies Nouvelles Activités USA (or its assignee) (“Total”) converts any of the Total Notes (as defined in the Tranche I Senior Convertible Notes to be issued by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) issued pursuant to the Second Closing (as defined in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 30, 2012 by and between the Company and Total) that had a conversion price of $3.08 as of August 8, 2013 (the “2013 Notes”) into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Exercise Condition”). Upon satisfaction of the Exercise Condition and thereafter, this Warrant shall be exercisable for that number of Shares (subject to adjustment as provided herein) equal to the product of (i) the Number of Shares multiplied by (ii) the quotient of the aggregate principal amount of the 2013 Notes so converted divided by U.S. $30,000,000. The number of shares and the Warrant Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein, and all references to “Shares” and “Warrant Price” herein shall be deemed to include any such adjustment or series of adjustments.


1





1.2 Method of Exercise . Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering a duly completed and executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Article 1.3, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check, wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

1.3 Conversion Right . In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Article 1.2, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities for which the Warrant is then being converted (which shall be no more than the number of Shares for which the Warrant is then exercisable under Article 1.1) minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Article 1.4.

1.4 Fair Market Value . The fair market value of each Share shall be the average for the five business days immediately prior to the date of determination thereof of the last reported sale price regular way on each such day, or, in the case no such sale takes place on any such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way of the shares of Common Stock on such day, in each case as quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market or such other principal securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are then traded.

1.5 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant . Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant, and, if applicable, the Company receives payment of the aggregate Warrant Price, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired. Holder shall be deemed to own and have all of the rights associated with any Shares or other securities or property to which it is entitled pursuant to this Warrant upon the exercise or conversion of the Warrant in accordance with this Article 1.

1.6 Replacement of Warrants . On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

1.7 Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company .

1.7.1 “ Acquisition ”. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with or into, another “person” (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d5 of the Exchange Act), or the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the consolidation of another “person” with, or the merger of another “person” into, the Company, other than in each case pursuant to a transaction in which

2
27121/00010/DOCS/2977604.7




the “persons” that “beneficially owned” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, the Voting Shares (as defined below) of the Company immediately prior to the transaction “beneficially own”, directly or indirectly, Voting Shares representing at least a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding classes of voting stock of the surviving or transferee person; (ii) the adoption by the Company of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (iii) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” becomes the “beneficial owner” directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Shares of the Company (measured by voting power rather than number of shares); or (iv) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors does not consist of Continuing Directors (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). For the purposes of this Article 1.7.1,     “Voting Shares” of any person shall mean capital shares or capital stock of such person which ordinarily has voting power for the election of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of such person, whether at all times or only so long as no senior class of securities has such voting power by reason of any contingency.

1.7.2 Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition . In the event of an Acquisition, either (a) Holder shall exercise or convert his Warrant in full with respect to all remaining Shares for which the Warrant is then exercisable and such exercise or conversion will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition or (b) if Holder elects not to exercise or convert the Warrant, this Warrant will expire upon the consummation of such Acquisition. The Company shall provide Holder with written notice of the foregoing (together with such reasonable information as Holder may request in connection with such contemplated Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than ten (10) days prior to the closing of the proposed Acquisition.

ARTICLE 2 ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES .

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc . If the Company declares or pays a dividend on the Shares payable in common stock of the Company, or other securities, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of shares of common stock of the Company to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend occurred. If the Company subdivides the Shares by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares or takes any other action which increases the amount of stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, the number of Shares subject to the Warrant shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares subject to the Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution . Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant (other than an Acquisition which is subject to the provisions of Article 1.7), Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately

3
27121/00010/DOCS/2977604.7




before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder an amendment to this Warrant setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant. The amendment to this Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Article 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

2.3 No Impairment . Without the consent of the Holder, the Company shall not by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment.

2.4 Fractional Shares . No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder in cash equivalent to the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

2.5 Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall promptly notify Holder in writing, and, at the Company’s expense, promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Secretary or a senior financial officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

ARTICLE 3 REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY .

3.1 Representations and Warranties . The Company represents and warrants and covenants to the Holder as follows: all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase right represented by this Warrant, and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued share of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing the exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the aggregate number of Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Shares may be issued without violation of any law or regulation applicable to the


4
27121/00010/DOCS/2977604.7



Company or of any requirement of any securities exchange applicable to the Company on which the Shares are listed or traded.

3.2 No Stockholder Rights . Except as provided in this Warrant, and other than with regard to shares of the Company’s common stock acquired by Holder other than pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder will not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company until the exercise of this Warrant.

3.3 Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of certificates for Shares to the Holder upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company.

ARTICLE 4 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OF THE HOLDER . The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

4.1 Purchase for Own Account . This Warrant and the securities to be acquired upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant by the Holder will be acquired for investment for the Holders account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the Holder has no present intention, and upon exercise or conversion will have no intention, of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the same except pursuant to a registration or exemption. Holder also represents that the Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring this Warrant or the Shares.

4.2 Disclosure of Information . The Holder has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of this Warrant and its underlying securities. The Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant and its underlying securities and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to the Holder or to which the Holder has access.

4.3 Investment Experience . The Holder understands that the purchase of this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial risk. The Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that the Holder can bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables the Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.

4.4 Accredited Investor Status . The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.


5
27121/00010/DOCS/2977604.7




4.5 The Securities Act . The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion hereof have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issued upon any exercise or conversion hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise available. The Holder further understands that settlement of this Warrant is to be made in Shares and, for the elimination of doubt, the fact that the Shares delivered on exercise of this Warrant will not be registered under the Securities Act (as defined below) will not in any way require the Company to settle this Warrant otherwise than in Shares, including without limitation, that there is no circumstance that would require the Company to settle this Warrant in cash.

ARTICLE 5 MISCELLANEOUS .

5.1 Term . Following the occurrence of the conversion described in Article 1.1, this Warrant will be exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or before the Expiration Date.

5.3 Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer . This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company). The Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if the transfer is to any affiliate of the Holder, provided that any such transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act; provided, however, in any such transfer the transferee shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Warrant as if an original holder hereof.


6
27121/00010/DOCS/2977604.7

8.6.     Dispute Resolution .

8.6.1     Escalation . Prior to commencing any arbitration in connection with any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof (“ Dispute ”), the parties shall first engage in the procedures set forth in this Section 8.6.1.

If the Dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days after the Dispute Notice has been sent by a party to its Executive Officers and to the Executive Officers of the other party or parties, then either the party that has sent the Dispute Notice, or the party or parties that have received the Dispute Notice may, by written notice to the other party or parties, elect to submit the Dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section 8.6.2.

(b)        There shall be three (3) arbitrators.

In the event that either party fails to nominate an arbitrator, or if the two party-appointed arbitrators are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, within the time periods specified herein, the ICC Court shall appoint the remaining arbitrator(s) required to comprise the arbitral tribunal. If there are more than two parties to the arbitration, the claimant(s) shall jointly nominate one arbitrator and the respondent(s) shall jointly nominate one arbitrator, within thirty (30) days of receipt by respondent(s) of a copy of the request for arbitration. For avoidance of doubt, where there are two or more claimant(s), none of the claimants has to nominate an arbitrator in their request for arbitration.

If either the claimant(s) or the respondent(s) fail to timely nominate an arbitrator, or if the two party-appointed arbitrators are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, within the time periods specified herein, then on the request of any party, the ICC Court shall appoint the remaining arbitrator(s) required to comprise the arbitral tribunal. The claimant in the arbitration shall provide a copy of the request for arbitration to the respondent at the time such request is submitted to the Secretariat of the International Chamber of Commerce.
(c)        Each arbitrator chosen under this Section shall speak, read, and write English fluently and shall be either (i) a practicing lawyer who has specialized in business litigation with at least ten (10) years of experience in a law firm, (ii) an arbitrator experienced with commercial disputes, or (iii) a retired judge.

(e)        The award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award and be final and binding. The arbitral tribunal shall, subject to its discretion, endeavor to issue its award within four (4) months of the end of the hearing, or as soon as possible thereafter. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that the rulings and award of the arbitral tribunal shall be binding on the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitral tribunal may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction.
(f)        Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and attorneys' fees, and the party that does not prevail in the arbitration proceeding, as determined by the arbitral tribunal, shall pay the arbitrator's fees and any administrative fees of arbitration. All proceedings

(a)        The arbitral tribunal shall have the power to grant any remedy or relief that it deems appropriate, whether provisional or final, including conservatory relief and injunctive relief, and any such measures ordered by the arbitral tribunal may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be a final award on the subject matter of the measures and shall be enforceable as such.
(b)        In addition to the remedies and relief available under Section 8.6.3(a) above and the ICC Rules, and subject to Section 8.6.2 above, each party expressly retains the right at any time to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim, injunctive, provisional or conservatory relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
(c)        For purposes of Section 8.6.3(b), each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and agrees that any action for interim, provisional and/or conservatory relief brought against it with respect to its obligations or liabilities under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement may be brought in the courts located in Paris, France or the state or federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York, and each party hereby irrevocably accepts and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts in personam , with respect to any such action for interim, provisional or conservatory relief. In any such action, each of the parties irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in the courts located in Paris, France or the state or federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York.
 
(d)        Each party hereby irrevocably consents and agrees that the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any action arising under this Agreement may be made by sending a copy thereof by express courier to the party to be served at the address set forth in the notice provision of this Agreement, with such service to be effective upon receipt.

25



be treated as confidential (“ Confidential Information ”), unless otherwise required by law (provided that a party shall, to the extent permitted by law, promptly notify the other party of any required disclosure and take reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure); provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include information, that (i) was in the public domain prior to the time it was furnished to such recipient, (ii) is at the time of the alleged breach (through no willful or improper action or inaction by such recipient) generally available to the public, (iii) was rightfully disclosed to such recipient by a third party without restriction or (iv) as of the time of the alleged breach, had been independently developed (as evidenced by written records) without any use of Confidential Information.

8.7.     Severability . In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof is declared to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to delete such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision unless that provision held invalid shall substantially impair the benefits of the remaining portions of this Agreement.

8.8.     Headings . The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction, or effect.

Facsimile signatures shall be deemed originals for all purposes hereunder.

8.14.     Independent Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with obligations of each other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements.

26



such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions.

Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has or will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in enforcing its rights under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Purchaser, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Each Purchaser and the Company is aware that Fenwick & West LLP (“ F&W ”) may have previously performed and may continue to perform certain legal services for certain of the Purchasers in matters unrelated to F&W's representation of the Company. In connection with its Purchaser representation, F&W may have obtained confidential information of such Purchasers that could be material to F&W's representation of the Company in connection with negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement. By signing this Agreement, each Purchaser and the Company hereby acknowledges that the terms of this Agreement were negotiated among the Purchasers and the Company and are fair and reasonable and waives any potential conflict of interest arising out of such representation (including any future representation of such parties) or such possession of confidential information. Each Purchaser and the Company further represents that it has had the opportunity to be, or has been, represented by separate independent counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the waivers contained in this Section 8.15.

Exhibit D
OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL




December 24, 2012

To the Purchasers of Common Stock of
Amyris, Inc. Who are Listed as Investing
on the Date Hereof on the Signature Pages to the Purchase Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Amyris, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the " Company "), in connection with the sale on the date hereof by the Company to you of 14,177,849 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the " Shares ") pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 24, 2012 (the " Purchase Agreement "), among the Company and the parties whose names appear on the signature pages thereto (the " Purchasers "), and the execution and delivery by the Company of the Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement (the " Rights Agreement "), dated as of December 24, 2012. This opinion is given to you pursuant to Article 6(d) of the Purchase Agreement in connection with the Closing of the sale of the Shares. The Purchase Agreement and the Rights Agreement are referred to herein together as the " Transaction Documents. " Unless defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meaning given to them in the Purchase Agreement.

We have examined such matters of law as we reasonably considered necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion. As to matters of fact material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in, and made by the Company pursuant to, the Purchase Agreement and upon certificates and statements of government officials and of officers of the Company, including but not limited to a certificate of the Company to us (the " Opinion Certificate "). In addition, we have examined originals or copies of documents, corporate records and other writings that are listed in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “ Reviewed Agreements” ) and have not conducted any other factual examination except as listed on Exhibit A . In such examination, we have assumed that the signatures on documents and instruments examined by us are authentic, that each is what it purports to be, and that all documents and instruments submitted to us as copies or facsimiles conform with the originals, which facts we have not independently verified.

In making our examination of documents (including the Transaction Documents) and rendering our opinions, we have further assumed that, except for the Company with respect to the Transaction Documents, (a) each party to such documents had the entity power and entity authority to enter into and perform all of such party's obligations thereunder, (b) each party to such documents has duly authorized, executed and delivered such documents and (c) each of such documents is enforceable against and binding upon the parties thereto. We have also assumed that (i) the representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in the Transaction Documents are accurate and complete, (ii) there is no fact or circumstance relating to you or your business that might prevent you from enforcing any of your rights provided for in the Transaction Documents and (iii) there are no extrinsic agreements or understandings among the parties to the Transaction Documents or among the parties to the Reviewed Agreements expressly identified on Exhibit A hereto, that would modify or interpret the terms of the





To the Purchasers of Common
Stock of Amyris, Inc. on the Date Hereof
December 24, 2012
Page 2

Transaction Documents or Reviewed Agreements or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereto.

Notwithstanding the examination described above, the expressions " to our knowledge , " " known to us ," " our actual knowledge " or words of similar import when used in this opinion letter, refer to the current actual knowledge of attorneys within the firm who have rendered legal services to the Company in connection with the Transaction Documents and means that, while such attorneys have not been informed by the Company that a matter stated is factually incorrect, we have made no independent factual investigation with respect to such matter. No inference as to our knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any such statement should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company or the rendering of the opinions set forth below.

Where statements in this opinion concerning the Company, or an effect on the Company, are qualified by the term "material" or "materially , " those statements involve judgments and opinions as to the materiality or lack of materiality of any matter to the Company's business, assets, results of operations or financial condition that are entirely those of the Company and its officers.

We express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the laws of the State of California, the Delaware General Corporation Law (the " DGCL ") and the federal law of the United States of America, including the rules and regulations promulgated by governmental authorities thereunder, as such laws, rules and regulations exist on the date hereof (collectively, " Applicable Laws "). We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply, or to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

In rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph (1) (Qualification to Do Business) below as to the
valid existence and good standing of the Company under the laws of the State of Delaware and as to its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of California, we have relied exclusively on certificates of public officials and the Opinion Certificate.

In rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph (2) (Authority and Power to Do Business) below concerning the Company's corporate power and corporate authority to conduct its business as it is presently conducted and as to the types of businesses the Company presently conducts, we have relied exclusively upon representations made to us in the Opinion Certificate. We note that the parties to the Purchase Agreement have designated the laws of the State of Delaware as the laws governing the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the designation therein of the laws of the State of Delaware, our opinion in paragraph (4) (Enforceability) below as to the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Purchase Agreement is premised upon the results that would be obtained if a California court were to apply the internal laws of the State of California to contracts made between California residents present in California when the Purchase Agreement is entered into and, where applicable, the currently effective DGCL, without regard to laws regarding choice of law or conflict of laws.





To the Purchasers of Common
Stock of Amyris, Inc. on the Date Hereof
December 24, 2012
Page 3

In rendering the opinion in paragraph (6) (No Violations) below relating to violations of Applicable Laws, and paragraph (7) (No Consents) below relating to consents, approvals, authorizations and filings under, or pursuant to, Applicable Laws, such opinions are limited to Applicable Laws that in our experience are typically applicable to transactions of the nature provided for in the Transaction Documents. Moreover, we render no opinion in such paragraphs, or in paragraph (4) (Enforceability), regarding the Company's compliance with applicable securities laws, including but not limited to laws regarding the registration or qualification of the offer and sale of securities, or the registration by the Company under any such securities laws, and no such opinion should be inferred from the language of those paragraphs. Any opinion rendered in connection with applicable securities laws is rendered solely and expressly in paragraphs (8) (Securities Law Compliance) and (9) (Not an Investment Company) below.

In rendering the opinion in paragraph (6) (No Violations) below regarding breach of, or default under, any Reviewed Agreements set forth in Exhibit A , we have not reviewed, and express no opinion on, (a) financial covenants or similar provisions requiring financial calculations or determinations to ascertain whether there is any breach or default nor (b) provisions relating to the occurrence of a "material adverse event" or words of similar import. We also do not express any opinion on parol evidence bearing on interpretation or construction of such Reviewed Agreements, or on any oral modifications to such Reviewed Agreements made by the parties thereto. Moreover, to the extent that any of the Reviewed Agreements are governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California our opinion relating to those agreements is based solely upon the plain meaning of their language as though California law applied, without regard to interpretation or construction that might be indicated by the laws stated as governing those agreements.

In rendering the opinion expressed in paragraph (8) (Securities Law Compliance) below, we have assumed the accuracy of, and have relied upon, the Company's representations to us that the Company has made no offer to sell the Shares by means of any general solicitation or publication of any advertisement therefor, and we have assumed that the offer and sale of the Shares is not integrated with any future securities offering of the Company.

This opinion is qualified by, and we render no opinion with respect to, or as to the effect of, the following:

(a)    bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting the relief of debtors or the rights and remedies of creditors generally, including without limitation the effect of statutory or other law regarding fraudulent transfers, preferential transfers and equitable subordination;

(b)    general principles of equity, including but not limited to judicial decisions holding that certain provisions are unenforceable when their enforcement would violate the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, would be commercially unreasonable or involve undue delay, whether or not such principles or decisions have been codified by statute, or that result from the exercise of the court's discretion;

(d)    any provision purporting to (i) exclude conflict of law principles under any law or (ii) select certain courts as the venue, or establish a particular jurisdiction as the forum, for the adjudication of any controversy;

In accordance with Section 95 of the American Law Institute's Restatement (Third) of the Law Governing Lawyers (2000), this opinion letter is to be interpreted in accordance with customary practices of lawyers rendering opinions to third parties in transactions of the type provided for in the Transaction Documents.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and except as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, as of immediately prior to the Closing we are of the following opinion.

(1)    The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of California.

(2)    The Company has all corporate power and corporate authority required to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(3)    All corporate action has been taken on the part of the Company's Board of Directors and
stockholders that (a) is necessary for the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company, (b) must be taken by the Company to authorize the sale and

issuance of the Shares on the date hereof and (c) must be taken by the Company as of the date hereof to authorize performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(4)    Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed by the Company and has been delivered by the Company to the Purchasers. Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable by you against the Company in accordance with its terms.

(5)    The Shares to be issued to you under the Purchase Agreement are duly authorized, and when issued in compliance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of such Shares will not be subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or rights of first offer set forth in the Restated Certificate or Bylaws or any Reviewed Agreement set forth on Exhibit A (other than the Side Letter for which appropriate waivers have been obtained).

(6)    The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company do not, as of the Closing, result in (a) a violation by the Company of the Restated Certificate or Bylaws, (b) a material violation by the Company of any judgment or order of any court or governmental authority, (c) a material violation by the Company of Applicable Law or (d) a breach of, or a default under, any Reviewed Agreements set forth on Exhibit A.

(7)    Other than those that previously may have been obtained or made, no consent, approval or authorization of, or filing with, any governmental authority pursuant to any Applicable Law is required to be made or obtained by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in connection with the Company's (a) valid execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, (b) performance of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement on the date hereof and (c) performance of its obligations under the other Transaction Documents as of the date hereof.

(8)    Based in part upon the representations made by you in the Purchase Agreement, and subject to the filings of such securities law notices as may be required to be filed subsequent to the Closing, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares to be issued to you in conformity with the terms of the Purchase Agreement constitute transactions exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and exempt from the qualification requirements of Section 25110 of the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended.

(9)    The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares, will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended.

In addition to the foregoing opinions, based upon the foregoing and other than as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we supplementally confirm the following to you as of immediately prior to the Closing.

Page 2 of 4


The purpose of this modification is to revise the Phase 2 Statement of Work and Payable
Milestones (Descriptions, Exit Criteria, and/or Payment Amounts), to make funding changes to
Phase 2 Payable Milestone No’s 6 through 9, and to add incremental funding in the amount of
$552,931 to Phase 2 Payable Milestone No’s 9 and 10. It is noted that the changes made to the
Phase 2 Payable Milestone amounts result from both changes in scope (an increase of $1,941,374
to the Total Amount of Phase II) and repricing due to a realized/anticipated cost underrun (a
decrease of $1,248,213 to the Total Amount of Phase II) – the net result which is an overall
increase of $693,161 to the Total Amount of Phase 2 and the Total Amount of the Agreement
(there are no changes being made to Phase 1 as part of this modification).

Accordingly, the following changes apply:

1.
The “Total Amount of the Agreement” has increased from $7,811,627 by $693,161 to $8,504,788.

2.

ARTICLE I:    SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT

A.    Background

Amyris has been a leader in the synthetic biology technologies, using living organisms as “factories” or “manufacturing systems” to produce compounds. Although the synthetic biology movement has been intermittently successful in certain directed endeavors, there has been insufficient effort toward standardizing and optimizing synthetic biology tools, procedures and platforms. By focusing on the same principles that made the United States the leaders in traditional manufacturing, namely consistent engineering and efficiency, Amyris seeks, through funding in this Agreement , to research and develop a state of the art development cycle for an enhanced engineering cycle to realize living foundries. Amyris aims to achieve these innovations by developing tools increasing the speed of engineered DNA and microbes while simultaneously expanding the scope of the living systems that are readily engineered. Engineering living systems is slow, expensive, and unreliable. Even for seemingly straightforward applications such as developing a fermentable microbe capable of turning sugar into higher value chemicals can take many hundreds of person-years of effort. For example, genetic engineering has enabled the microbial production of non-native natural products such as 1,3-propanediol made in engineered E. coli (~575 years of effort) or artemisinic acid made in engineered S. cerevisiae (~130 years of effort).

For microbes to become a routine manufacture paradigm, offering an alternative to traditional chemicals
and petroleum feedstocks, and for living systems eventually to enable novel commercial and military
applications (self-healing or corrosion-resistant materials) the effort and expense associated with
developing new applications must be reduced by an order of magnitude. This entire enterprise is in its
infancy and the work required to reduce the time and effort needed to develop a new microbe is risky and
at odds with the work also needed to bring a product to market in a one-off manner, the chief goal of any
company seeking to capitalize on the technology. This Agreement supports research with a long-term
perspective to support that entire industry by funding efforts that will enable everyone to do more with
less.

B.    Definitions

Agreement : The body of this Agreement and Attachments 1 – 4, which are expressly incorporated in
and made a part of the Agreement.

Collaborators : A third party in a contractual arrangement with the Performer whereby Amyris has agreed to jointly research, develop and/or commercialize and has an active role in such arrangement. For the avoidance of doubt, an “active role” by Amyris is a contractual relationship (1) that involves more than the mere transfer of intellectual property, and (2) where Amyris has a significant participation in decisionmaking and/or funding of the activities. Collaborators include all parties in collaborations with Amyris as of the effective date, even if the collaboration is modified or amended after the effective date.

Data : Recorded information, regardless of form or method of recording, which includes but is not limited to, technical data, software, and trade secrets. The term does not include financial, administrative, cost, pricing or management information and does not include Subject Inventions, included in Article VII.

Foreign Firm or Institution : A firm or institution organized or existing under the laws of a country other than the United States, its territories, or possessions. The term includes, for purposes of this

Agreement, any agency or instrumentality of a foreign government; and firms, institutions or business organizations which are owned or substantially controlled by foreign governments, firms, institutions, or individuals.

Government : The United States of America, as represented by DARPA.

Government Purpose Rights : The rights to use, duplicate, or disclose Data, in whole or in part and in any manner, for Government purposes only, and to have or permit others to do so for Government purposes only.

Government Purpose : Any activity in which the United States Government is a party, including cooperative agreements with international or multi-national defense organizations or sales or transfers by the United States Government to foreign governments or international organizations. Government purposes include competitive procurement, but do not include the rights to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose Data for commercial purposes or authorize others to do so.

Invention : Any invention or discovery which is or may be patentable or otherwise protectable under Title 35 of the United States Code.

Know-How : All information including, but not limited to discoveries, formulas, materials, Inventions, processes, ideas, approaches, concepts, techniques, methods, software, programs, documentation, procedures, firmware, hardware, technical data, specifications, devices, apparatus and machines.

Limited Rights : The rights to use, modifiy, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose Data, in whole or in part, within the Government. The Government may not, without the written permission of the party asserting limited rights, release or disclose the Data outside the Government.

Made : Relates to any Invention means the conception or first actual reduction to practice of such Invention.

Performer : AMYRIS, INC. a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with its principal place of business at 5885 Hollis Street, Suite 100, Emeryville, California 94608

Practical Application : To manufacture, in the case of a composition of product; to practice, in the case of a process or method, or to operate, in the case of a machine or system; and, in each case, under such conditions as to establish that the Invention is capable of being utilized and that its benefits are, to the extent permitted by law or Government regulations, available to the public on reasonable terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that “practical application” under this Agreement may not include actual commercialization of Subject Inventions hereunder because such Subject Inventions are likely to be research tools and platforms (e.g., it is envisioned that the tools and platforms resulting from the research carried out under this agreement will later – outside of this agreement - be used by the performer to develop commercial products).

Program : Research and development being conducted by the Performer, as set forth in Article I., paragraph C.

Property : Any tangible personal property other than property actually consumed during the execution of work under this agreement.

D.    Goals / Objectives

1.    The goal of this Agreement is for the Government to fund a performance-based effort by the Performer to investigate and create platforms for increasing the speed of engineering DNA and microbes while simultaneously expanding the scope of the living systems that are readily engineered.

2.    The Government will have continuous involvement with the Performer. The Government will also obtain access to research results and certain rights in data and patents pursuant to Articles VII and VIII. DARPA and the Performer are bound to each other by a duty of good faith and best research effort in achieving the goals of the Program.

3.    This Agreement is an "other transaction" pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2371. The Parties agree that the principal purpose of this Agreement is for the Government to support and stimulate the Performer to provide their best effort in advanced research and technology development and not for the acquisition of property or services for the direct benefit or use of the Government. This Agreement can best be described as an accumulation of expenses approach with payments tied to Fixed Payable Milestones. The Performer will be paid for each Payable Milestone accomplished in accordance with the Schedule of Payments and Payable Milestones set forth in Attachment 3 and the procedures of Article V. The Schedule of Payments and Payable Milestones may be revised or updated in accordance with Article III. This Agreement is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as, by implication or otherwise, a partnership, a corporation, or other business organization.

ARTICLE II:    TERM

A.    Term of this Agreement

The Program commences upon the date of the last signature hereon and continues for:

Phase 1 – Twelve (12) months.
Phase 2 (Exercised via P00005) – Twelve (12) months from date of option exercise.

If all funds are expended prior to the duration of any Phase of the Agreement, the Parties have no obligation to continue performance and may elect to cease development at that point.

Provisions of this Agreement, which, by their express terms or by necessary implication, apply for periods of time other than specified herein, shall be given effect, notwithstanding this Article.

B.    Termination Provisions

Subject to a reasonable determination that the program will not produce beneficial results commensurate with the expenditure of resources, either Party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party, provided that such written notice is preceded by consultation between the Parties. In the event of a termination of the Agreement, it is agreed that disposition of Data developed under this Agreement, shall be in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article VIII, Data Rights. The Government and the Performer will negotiate in good faith a reasonable and timely adjustment of all outstanding issues between the Parties as a result of termination. Failure of the Parties to agree to a reasonable adjustment will be resolved pursuant to Article VI, Disputes. The Government has no obligation to pay the Performer beyond the last completed and paid milestone if the Performer decides to terminate. For the avoidance of doubt, any such termination does not require repayment of milestone amounts already received by Performer.

4. Government funds shall be maintained in an interest-bearing account prior to disbursement. This account shall not be in U. S. Treasury Notes. Any interest earned shall be remitted annually to the DARPA Agreements Officer, or designee. Interest payments shall be made payable to the U. S. Treasury. Interest amounts less than $250 per year may be retained by the Performer for administrative expenses.

5. Payments will be made by the cognizant Defense Agencies Financial Services office, as indicated below, within thirty (30) calendar days of an accepted invoice in Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) is a secure web-based system for electronic invoicing, receipt and acceptance. The WAWF application enables electronic form submission of invoices, government inspection, and acceptance documents in order to support DoD’s goal of moving to a paperless acquisition process. Authorized DoD users are notified of pending actions by e-mail and are presented with a collection of documents required to process the contracting or financial action. It uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to electronically bind the digital signature to provide non-reputable proof that the user (electronically) signed the document with the contents. Benefits include online access and full spectrum view of document status, minimized re-keying and improving data accuracy, eliminating unmatched disbursements and making all documentation required for payment easily accessible.

The Performer is required to utilize the Wide Area Workflow system when processing invoices and receiving reports under this Agreement. The Performer shall (i) ensure an Electronic Business Point of Contact is designated in Central Contractor Registration at http://www.ccr.gov and (ii) register to use WAWF–RA at the https://wawf.eb.mil site, within ten (10) calendar days after award of this Agreement. Step by Step procedures to register are available at the https://wawf.eb.mil site. The Performer is directed to use the “2-in-1” format when processing invoices.

A.    General

The Parties shall communicate with one another in good faith and in a timely and cooperative manner
when raising issues under this Article.

B.    Dispute Resolution Procedures

1.    Any disagreement, claim or dispute between DARPA and the Performer concerning questions of fact or law arising from or in connection with this Agreement, and, whether or not involving an alleged breach of this Agreement, may be raised only under this Article.

2.    Whenever disputes, disagreements, or misunderstandings arise, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the issue(s) involved by discussion and mutual agreement as soon as practicable. In no event shall a dispute, disagreement or misunderstanding which arose more than three (3) months prior to the notification made under subparagraph B.3 of this article constitute the basis for relief under this article unless the Director of DARPA in the interests of justice waives this requirement.

3.    Failing resolution by mutual agreement, the aggrieved Party shall document the dispute, disagreement, or misunderstanding by notifying the other Party (through the DARPA Agreements Officer or the Performer’s Administrator, as the case may be) in writing of the relevant facts, identify unresolved issues, and specify the clarification or remedy sought. Within five (5) working days after providing notice to the other Party, the aggrieved Party may, in writing, request a joint decision by the DARPA Senior Procurement Executive, and senior executive (no lower than Vice President, Legal) appointed by the Performer.

ARTICLE VII:    PATENT RIGHTS

A.    Allocation of Principal Rights

Unless the Performer shall have notified DARPA (in accordance with subparagraph B.2 below) that the Performer does not intend to retain title, the Performer shall retain the entire right, title, and interest throughout the world to each Subject Invention consistent with the provisions of this Article and 35 U.S.C. § 202. With respect to any Subject Invention in which the Performer retains title, DARPA shall have a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or have practiced on behalf of the United States the Subject Invention throughout the world.

B.    Invention Disclosure, Election of Title, and Filing of Patent Application

1.    The Performer shall disclose each Subject Invention to DARPA within four (4) months after the inventor discloses it in writing to his company personnel responsible for patent matters or, in the case of no internal writing from the inventor, within two (2) months after filing a provisional application, provided however that in the event the Performer does not file a provisional application, it shall disclose the Subject Invention to DARPA within two (2) months of determining that a particular set of experiments and or data qualify as a Subject Invention. The disclosure to DARPA shall be in the form of a written report and shall identify the Agreement under which the Subject Invention was made and the identity of the inventor(s). It shall be sufficiently complete in technical detail to convey a clear understanding to the extent known at the time of the disclosure, of the nature, purpose, operation, and the physical, chemical, biological, or electrical characteristics of the invention. The disclosure shall also identify any publication, sale, or public use of the invention and whether a manuscript describing the invention has been submitted for publication and, if so, whether it has been accepted for publication at the time of disclosure. The Performer shall also submit to DARPA an annual listing of Subject Inventions.

2.    If the Performer determines that it does not intend to retain title to any such Subject Invention, the Performer shall notify DARPA, in writing, within eight (8) months of disclosure to DARPA. However, in any case where publication, sale, or public use has initiated the one (1)-year statutory period wherein valid patent protection can still be obtained in the United States, the period for such notice may be shortened by DARPA to a date that is no more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the end of the statutory period.

3.    The Performer shall file its initial patent application on a Subject Invention to which it elects to retain title within one (1) year after election of title or, if earlier, prior to the end of the statutory period wherein valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States after a publication, or sale, or public use. The Performer may elect to file patent applications in additional countries (including the European Patent Office and the Patent Cooperation Treaty) within either ten (10) months of the corresponding initial patent application or six (6) months from the date permission is granted by the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks to file foreign patent applications, where such filing has been prohibited by a Secrecy Order.

4.    Requests for extension of the time for disclosure election, and filing under Article VII,

paragraph C, may, at the discretion of DARPA, and after considering the position of the Performer, be granted.

C.    Conditions When the Government May Obtain Title

Upon DARPA’s written request, the Performer shall convey title to any Subject Invention to DARPA under any of the following conditions:

1.    If the Performer fails to disclose or elects not to retain title to the Subject Invention within the times specified in paragraph C of this Article; provided, that DARPA may only request title within sixty (60) calendar days after learning of the failure of the Performer to disclose or elect within the specified times.

2.    In those countries in which the Performer fails to file patent applications within the times specified in paragraph B of this Article; provided, that if the Performer has filed a patent application in a country after the times specified in paragraph B of this Article, but prior to its receipt of the written request by DARPA, the Performer shall continue to retain title in that country; or

3.    In any country in which the Performer decides not to continue the prosecution of any application for, to pay the maintenance fees on, or defend in reexamination or opposition proceedings on, a patent on a Subject Invention.

D.    Minimum Rights to the Performer and Protection of the Performer’s Right to File

1.    The Performer shall retain a nonexclusive, royalty-free license throughout the world in each Subject Invention to which the Government obtains title, except if the Performer fails to disclose the invention within the times specified in paragraph B of this Article. The Performer’s license extends to subsidiaries and affiliates and Collaborators, if any, within the corporate structure of which the Performer is a party and includes the right to grant licenses of the same scope to the extent that the Performer was legally obligated to do so at the time the Agreement was awarded. The license is transferable only with the approval of DARPA, except when transferred to the successor of that part of the business to which the invention pertains. DARPA approval for license transfer shall not be unreasonably withheld.

2.    The Performer’s license may be revoked or modified by DARPA to the extent necessary to achieve expeditious practical application of the Subject Invention pursuant to an application for an exclusive license submitted consistent with appropriate provisions at 37 CFR Part 404. This license shall not be revoked at any time when the Performer continues to practice the general technology developed hereunder in pursuit of commercial goals, including the goal of making the products derived from such platforms reasonably accessible to the public.

3     Before revocation or modification of the license, DARPA shall furnish the Performer a written notice of its intention to revoke or modify the license, and the Performer shall be allowed thirty (30) calendar days (or such other time as may be authorized for good cause shown) after the notice to show cause why the license should not be revoked or modified.

E.    Action to Protect the Government’s Interest

1.    The Performer agrees to execute or to have executed and promptly deliver to DARPA all instruments necessary to (i) establish or confirm the rights the Government has throughout the world in those Subject Inventions to which the Performer elects to retain title, and (ii) convey title to DARPA

when requested under paragraph D of this Article and to enable the Government to obtain patent protection throughout the world in that Subject Invention.

2.    The Performer agrees to require, by written agreement, its employees, other than clerical and non-technical employees, to disclose promptly in writing to personnel identified as responsible for the administration of patent matters and in a format suggested by the Performer each Subject Invention made under this Agreement in order that the Performer can comply with the disclosure provisions of paragraph C of this Article. The Performer shall instruct employees, through employee agreements or other suitable educational programs, on the importance of reporting inventions in sufficient time to permit the filing of patent applications prior to U. S. or foreign statutory bars.

3.    The Performer shall notify DARPA of any decisions not to continue the prosecution of a patent application, pay maintenance fees, or defend in a reexamination or opposition proceedings on a patent, in any country, not less than thirty (30) calendar days before the expiration of the response period required by the relevant patent office.

4.    The Performer shall include, within the specification of any United States patent application and any patent issuing thereon covering a Subject Invention, the following statement: “This invention was made with Government support under Agreement HR0011-12-3-0006, awarded by DARPA. The Government has certain rights in the invention.”

F.    Lower Tier Agreements

The Performer shall include this Article, suitably modified, to identify the Parties, in all subcontracts or lower tier agreements, regardless of tier, for experimental, developmental, or research work.

G.    Reporting on Utilization of Subject Inventions

1.
The Performer agrees to submit, during the term of the Agreement, an annual report on the general subject matter research at Performer or its Collaborators, licensees or assignees in connection with utilization of a Subject Invention or on efforts at obtaining such utilization that is being made by the Performer or its Collaborators, licensees or assignees. Such reports shall include information regarding the general fields of potential products where such Subject Inventions may ultimately assist in commercial sales. The Performer also agrees to provide additional reports as may be requested by DARPA in connection with any march-in proceedings undertaken by DARPA in accordance with paragraph J of this Article. Consistent with 35 U.S.C. § 202(c)(5), DARPA agrees it shall not disclose such information to persons outside the Government without permission of the Performer.

2
All required reporting shall be accomplished, to the extent possible, using the i-Edison reporting website: https://s-edison.info.nih.gov/iEdison/. To the extent any such reporting cannot be carried out by use of i-Edison, reports and communications shall be submitted to the Agreements Officer and Administrative Agreements Officer.

H.    Preference for American Industry

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause, the Performer agrees that it shall not grant to any person the exclusive right to use or sell any Subject Invention in the United States or Canada unless such person agrees that any product embodying the Subject Invention or produced through the use of the Subject Invention shall be manufactured substantially in the United States or Canada except when such

such rights are in connection with a Collaborator. However, in individual cases, the requirements for such an agreement beyond what is contemplated herein may be waived by DARPA upon a showing by the Performer (1) that reasonable but unsuccessful efforts have been made to grant licenses on similar terms to potential licensees that would be likely to manufacture substantially in the United States or (2) that, under the circumstances, domestic manufacture is not commercially feasible.

I.    March-in Rights

The Performer agrees that, with respect to any Subject Invention in which it has retained title, DARPA has the right to require the Performer, an assignee, or exclusive licensee of a Subject Invention to grant a non-exclusive license to a responsible applicant or applicants, upon terms that are reasonable under the circumstances, and if the Performer, assignee, or exclusive licensee refuses such a request, DARPA has the right to grant such a license itself if DARPA determines that:

1.    Such action is necessary because the Performer or assignee has not taken effective steps, consistent with the intent of this Agreement, to achieve practical application of the Subject Invention;

2.    Such action is necessary to alleviate health or safety needs which are not reasonably satisfied by the Performer, assignee, or their licensees;

3.    Such action is necessary to meet requirements for public use and such requirements are not reasonably satisfied by the Performer, assignee, or licensees; or

4.    Such action is necessary because the agreement required by paragraph (I) of this Article has not been obtained or waived or because a licensee of the exclusive right to use or sell any Subject Invention in the United States is in breach of such Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII: DATA RIGHTS

A.    Allocation of Principal Rights

1.    This Agreement shall be performed with mixed Government and Performer funding. The Parties agree that in consideration for Government funding, the Performer intends to reduce to practical application items, components and processes developed under this Agreement.

2.    The Performer agrees to retain and maintain in good condition until two (2) years after completion or termination of this Agreement, all Data necessary to achieve practical application. In the event of exercise of the Government’s March-in Rights as set forth under Article VII or subparagraph A.3 of this article, the Performer agrees, upon written request from the Government, to deliver at no additional cost to the Government, all Data necessary to achieve practical application within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of the written request. The Government shall retain Unlimited Rights, as defined in paragraph A above, to this delivered Data.

3.    The Performer agrees that, with respect to Data necessary to achieve practical application, DARPA has the right to require the Performer to deliver all such Data to DARPA in accordance with its reasonable directions if DARPA determines that:

(a)    Such action is necessary because the Performer or assignee has not taken effective steps, consistent with the intent of this Agreement, to achieve practical application of the technology developed during the performance of this Agreement;

(b)    Such action is necessary to alleviate health or safety needs which are not reasonably satisfied by the Performer, assignee, or their licensees; or

(c)    Such action is necessary to meet requirements for public use and such requirements are not reasonably satisfied by the Performer, assignee, or licensees.

4.    With respect to Data developed, generated or delivered under this Agreement, the Government shall receive Government Purpose Rights, except as noted in subparagraph (5) of this article.

5.    With respect to all Data delivered, in the event of the Government’s exercise of its right under subparagraph B.2 of this article, the Government shall receive Unlimited Rights.

6.    Any pre-existing Data to be utilized and delivered under this Agreement shall be delivered with restrictions as delineated in the Performer Identification and Assertion of Use, Release, or Disclosure Restrictions provided in Attachment 5.

B.    Marking of Data

Pursuant to paragraph B above, any Data delivered under this Agreement shall be marked with the following legend:

2.    The Performer shall provide timely notice to DARPA of any proposed transfers which occur after the effective date of this agreement from the Performer of Technology developed under this Agreement to Foreign Firms or Institutions. If DARPA determines that the transfer may have adverse consequences to the national security interests of the United States, the Performer, its vendors, and DARPA shall jointly endeavor to find alternatives to the proposed transfer which obviate or mitigate potential adverse consequences of the transfer but which provide substantially equivalent benefits to the Performer.

3.    In any event, the Performer shall provide written notice to the DARPA Agreements Officer’s Representative and Agreements Officer of any proposed transfer to a foreign firm or institution at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to the proposed date of transfer. Such notice shall cite this Article and shall state specifically what is to be transferred and the general terms of the transfer. Within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the Performer’s written notification, the DARPA Agreements Officer shall advise the Performer whether it consents to the proposed transfer. In cases where DARPA does not concur or sixty (60) calendar days after receipt and DARPA provides no decision, the Performer may utilize the procedures under Article VI, Disputes. No transfer shall take place until a decision is rendered.

4. In the event a transfer of Technology to Foreign Firms or Institutions which is NOT approved by DARPA takes place, the Performer shall (a) refund to DARPA funds paid for the development of the Technology and (b) the Government shall have a non-exclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or have practiced on behalf of the United States the Technology throughout the world for Government and any and all other purposes, particularly to effectuate the intent of this Agreement. Upon request of the Government, the Performer shall provide written confirmation of such licenses.

Amyris, Inc.
Statement of Work
For
Living Foundries
Improving DNA Assembly and Integration Across Platforms with Better Systems and Tools
30 May 2012
(Amended through 25 October 2013)

Advanced Tools and Capabilities for Generalizable Platforms (ATCG) Program Background

Current approaches to engineering biology rely on an ad hoc, laborious, trial-and-error process, wherein one successful project often does not translate to enabling subsequent new designs. As a result, the state of the art development cycle for engineering a new biologically manufactured product often takes 7+ years and tens to hundreds of millions of dollars (e.g. microbial production of artemisinic acid for the treatment of malaria and the non-petroleum-based production 1, 3-propanediol). The impact of current approaches is two-fold. First, the number of new entrants and innovators into the biomanufacturing space is immediately limited – few have the expertise, capital and/or time necessary to develop and engineer a new product. Second, combined with the complexity of biological systems, an ad hoc approach results in one-off efforts limited to modifying only a small set of genes and constructing simple, isolated genetic circuits and metabolic pathways. Consequently, while progress has been made, industry is constrained to producing only a tiny fraction of the vast number of possible chemicals, materials, and functional systems that would be enabled by the ability to truly engineer biology. A new approach is needed.

This new approach is Living Foundries: develop and apply an engineering framework to biology that decouples biological design from fabrication, yields design rules and tools, and manages biological complexity through abstraction and standardization. One analogy is that Living Foundries aims to do for biological design what verylarge-scale integration (VLSI) did for integrated circuits. Applying an engineering framework to biology will remove barriers to researchers outside the biological sciences, bringing diverse expertise and new methods to biological design. The best innovations will introduce new architectures and tools that will form the foundational technology for engineering biology.

The vision of Living Foundries is one where new and multiple cellular functions are readily constructed, combined, and controlled by an integrated genetic circuitry. The ultimate effect of which will be to open up the full space of biologically produced materials and systems. To achieve this, new tools, technologies and methodologies that directly address our current limitations and expand our capabilities must be developed. The outcome should be an open technology platform that integrates these tools and capabilities, allowing new designs to rapidly move from conception to execution.

Advanced Tools and Capabilities for Generalizable Platforms, (ATCG) seeks translatable tools that can serve as parts of an “end-to-end platform” to support rapid, specific in its goals: DARPA seeks new technology to enable low-cost and rapid DNA synthesis and assembly, especially to shorten the design-test cycle surrounding the ambitious constructs that characterize the broadest visions in modern synthetic biology.

Task G (Bio-safety/Security)

Task Background : The research and engineering depicted in this Statement of Work seeks to make existing capabilities (e.g. genetic modification of microbes to produce commodity chemicals) more efficient with the intended purpose of speeding the development of Living Foundries. The goal of this research is to make better engineering tools, and not to produce microbes that may have Dual-Use potential. As noted in the performer’s technical proposal, a review of the research activities identified within this Statement of Work determined that this project will not enable technologies that are related to human, animal, or plant health. The performer’s choice of potential chassis or hosts will be made from amongst the list of microbes that, prior to genetic modification, are designated safely handled in a Biosafety Level 1 facility. Additionally, the resulting genetically modified organisms have no selective advantage in the environment.
Metrics/Completion Criteria: The performer shall demonstrate throughout the program that all methods and demonstrations of capability comply with national guidance for manipulation of genes and organisms and follow all guidance for biological safety and biosecurity. Demonstrations and testbeds must meet any applicable regulations designed to protect human health and the environment promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency, National Institutes of Health, or other relevant agencies of the Federal Government. The performer shall use, store, and destroy biological material in accordance with all applicable regulations.
Deliverable: Include as part of the required monthly technical status reports an on-going status of efforts to develop and/or carry out their Advanced Tools and Capabilities for Generalizable Platforms (ATCG) Bio-Safety and Security plan.

Task H (Intellectual Property and Data Sharing)

Task Background : It is the goal of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that its investment in the tools and capabilities developed under the ATCG program to be multiplied many-fold by adoption and improvement by researchers across the United States. In order to achieve this vision, the Living Foundries program aims to facilitate interoperability and open the field to new entrants.

Metrics/Completion Criteria : To facilitate interoperability, all applicable design tools and databases developed under the ATCG program should be compatible with Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL) core data model. The Performer shall make available the technologies developed under the ATCG effort to the broader synthetic biology community by presenting its ATCG research data at public meetings/conferences/workshops and publishing results in peer-reviewed journal articles. At a minimum, the types of information that will be made available to the broader synthetic biology community are as discussed below:

(i) Data and analysis necessary to evaluate the utility of the technologies, as well as standard operating procedures and design specifications enabling others to reconstitute the equipment, set up, and approaches developed.

[*] 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.


Page 10 of 11

Agreement No. HR0011-12-3-0006    Attachment 1



(ii) The results of Design of Experiment work to arrive at the conditions for the best performance for untested or early stage technologies, describing the correlation between:

DNA ligase cycling parameters and the complexity, size, and success rate of the assembled full length DNA constructs.
Reaction parameters and the success and cost of performing sequencing QC on DNA assemblies.
Designer nuclease number, type, and targeting site and the integration efficiency in to the chassis genome.

(iii) Details required for both technical evaluation and transfer, including: full protocols, technical drawings of equipment built and specifications met, data on accuracy and precision of these systems, and results on procedures performed against large number of samples to investigate the robustness and readiness of the approaches for broader distribution – providing a trained reader with the information needed to recapitulate the methods and results described. In addition, the Principal Investigator shall be available to consult with third parties seeking to replicate the results.

If the work performed under this Statement of Work results in one or more patents, the Performer shall grant licenses on a royalty-free basis to academic and non-profit institutions. Additionally, the Performer shall make licenses available to commercial entities outside its key business areas.

Deliverable/s : The Performer shall include as part of required monthly technical status reports an on-going status of efforts to develop and/or carry out their proposed ATCG Intellectual Property and Data Sharing plan. Reporting shall include a summary of data sharing activities that have taken place during the reporting period and any data sharing activities planned to take place within three months of the reporting period. Reporting shall include a listing of the performers Subject Invention disclosures, Subject Invention patent applications and a brief discussion summarizing plans, if any, to license the resulting technology (e.g., intent and rationale regarding whether the performer intends to seek non-exclusive licensing, exclusive licensing for a particular field of use, or exclusive licensing across the board, etc.).

PAYMENT PROCEDURES

a.
Method of Payment . Payment will be made by reimbursement through ACH.

b.
Requesting Reimbursement . Requests for reimbursements must be made electronically through Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Financial Service Center (ORFSC) VIPERS. To access and use VIPERS, you must enroll at https://finweb.oro.doe.gov/vipers.htm . Detailed instructions on how to enroll are provided on the web site.

For non-construction awards, you must submit a Standard Form (SF) 270, “Request for Advance or Reimbursement,” at https://finweb.oro.doe.gov/vipers.htm and attach a file containing appropriate supporting documentation. The file attachment must show the total Federal share claimed on the SF 270, the non-Federal share claimed for the billing period if cost sharing is required, and cumulative expenditures to date (both Federal and non-Federal) for each of the following categories: salaries/wages and fringe benefits; equipment; travel; participant/training support costs, if any; other direct costs, including subawards/contracts; and indirect costs. For construction awards, you must submit a SF 271, “Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement for Construction Programs,” through VIPERS.

c.
Timing of submittals. Submittal of the SF 270 or SF 271 should coincide with your normal billing pattern, but not more frequently than every two weeks. Requests for reimbursement must be limited to the amount of disbursements made during the billing period for the Federal share of direct project costs and the proportionate share of any allowable indirect costs incurred during that billing period.

d.
Adjusting payment requests for available cash. You must disburse any funds that are available from repayments to and interest earned on a revolving fund, program income, rebates, refunds, contract settlements, audit recoveries, credits, discounts, and interest earned on any of those funds before requesting additional cash payments from DOE.

e.
Payments . The DOE approving official will approve the invoice as soon as practical, but not later than 30 days after your request is received, unless the billing is improper. Upon receipt of an invoice payment authorization from the DOE approving official, the ORFSC will disburse payment to you. You may check the status of payments at the VIPER web site. All payments are made by electronic funds transfer to the bank account identified on the ACH Vendor/Miscellaneous Payment Enrollment Form (SF 3881) that you filed.

6.
COST SHARING

a. Total Estimated Project Cost is the sum of the Federal Government share, including Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) contractor costs, and Recipient share of the estimated project costs. The DOE FFRDC contractor cost is not included in the total approved budget for this award, because DOE will pay the DOE FFRDC contractor portion of the effort under an existing DOE contract. The Recipient is not responsible for reporting on that portion of the total estimated cost that is paid directly to the DOE FFRDC contractor.

The Recipient's cost share must come from non-Federal sources unless otherwise allowed by law. By accepting Federal funds under this award, you agree that you are liable for your percentage share of allowable project costs, on a budget period basis, even if the project is terminated early or is not funded to its completion. This cost is shared as follows:

b. If you discover that you may be unable to provide cost sharing of at least the amount identified in paragraph a of this Article, you should immediately provide written notification to the DOE Award Administrator, indicating whether you will continue the project or phase out the project. If you plan to continue the project, the notification must describe how replacement cost sharing will be secured.

c. You must maintain records of all project costs you claim as cost sharing, including in-kind costs, as well as records of costs to be paid by DOE. Such records are subject to audit.

d. Failure to provide the cost share required by this Article may result in the subsequent recovery by DOE of some or all the funds provided under the award.


7.
REBUDGETING AND RECOVERY OF INDIRECT COSTS

a.
If actual allowable indirect costs are less than those budgeted and funded under the award, you may use the difference to pay additional allowable direct costs during the project period. If at the completion of the award the Government's share of total allowable costs (i.e., direct and indirect), is less than the total costs reimbursed, you must refund the difference.



4





b.
Recipients are expected to manage their indirect costs. DOE will not amend an award solely to provide additional funds for changes in indirect cost rates. DOE recognizes that the inability to obtain full reimbursement for indirect costs means the Recipient must absorb the underrecovery. Such underrecovery may be allocated as part of the organization's required cost sharing .


8.
FINAL INCURRED COST AUDIT

In accordance with 10 CFR 600, DOE reserves the right to initiate a final incurred cost audit on this award. If the audit has not been performed or completed prior to the closeout of the award, DOE retains the right to recover an appropriate amount after fully considering the recommendations on disallowed costs resulting from the final audit.


9.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO WORK FUNDED UNDER AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 (May 2009)

Preamble
 
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5, (Recovery Act) was enacted to preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery, assist those most impacted by the recession, provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science and health, invest in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits, stabilize State and local government budgets, in order to minimize and avoid reductions in essential services and counterproductive State and local tax increases. Recipients shall use grant funds in a manner that maximizes job creation and economic benefit.
 
The Recipient shall comply with all terms and conditions in the Recovery Act relating generally to governance, accountability, transparency, data collection and resources as specified in Act itself and as discussed below.
 
Recipients should begin planning activities for their first tier subrecipients, including obtaining a DUNS number (or updating the existing DUNS record), and registering with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR).



11





Be advised that Recovery Act funds can be used in conjunction with other funding as necessary to complete projects, but tracking and reporting must be separate to meet the reporting requirements of the Recovery Act and related guidance. For projects funded by sources other than the Recovery Act, Contractors must keep separate records for Recovery Act funds and to ensure those records comply with the requirements of the Act.
 
The Government has not fully developed the implementing instructions of the Recovery Act, particularly concerning specific procedural requirements for the new reporting requirements. The Recipient will be provided these details as they become available. The Recipient must comply with all requirements of the Act. If the recipient believes there is any inconsistency between ARRA requirements and current award terms and conditions, the issues will be referred to the Contracting Officer for reconciliation.
 
Definitions
 
For purposes of this clause, Covered Funds means funds expended or obligated from appropriations under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5. Covered Funds will have special accounting codes and will be identified as Recovery Act funds in the grant, cooperative agreement or TIA and/or modification using Recovery Act funds. Covered Funds must be reimbursed by September 30, 2015.
 
Non-Federal employer means any employer with respect to covered funds -- the contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or recipient, as the case may be, if the contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or recipient is an employer; and any professional membership organization, certification of other professional body, any agent or licensee of the Federal government, or any person acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer receiving covered funds; or with respect to covered funds received by a State or local government, the State or local government receiving the funds and any contractor or subcontractor receiving the funds and any contractor or subcontractor of the State or local government; and does not mean any department, agency, or other entity of the federal government.
 
Recipient means any entity that receives Recovery Act funds directly from the Federal government (including Recovery Act funds received through grant, loan, or contract) other than an individual and includes a State that receives Recovery Act Funds.
 
Special Provisions
 
A. Flow Down Requirement
 
Recipients must include these special terms and conditions in any subaward.
 
B. Segregation of Costs
 
Recipients must segregate the obligations and expenditures related to funding under the Recovery Act. Financial and accounting systems should be revised as necessary to segregate, track and maintain these funds apart and separate from other revenue streams. No part of the funds from the Recovery Act shall be commingled with any other funds or used for a purpose other than that of making payments for costs allowable for Recovery Act projects.


12





C. Prohibition on Use of Funds

None of the funds provided under this agreement derived from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5, may be used by any State or local government, or any private entity, for any casino or other gambling establishment, aquarium, zoo, golf course, or swimming pool.

D. Access to Records
  
With respect to each financial assistance agreement awarded utilizing at least some of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5, any representative of an appropriate inspector general appointed under section 3 or 8G of the Inspector General Act of 1988 (5 U.S.C. App.) or of the Comptroller General is authorized --
(1) to examine any records of the contractor or grantee, any of its subcontractors or subgrantees, or any State or local agency administering such contract that pertain to, and involve transactions that relate to, the subcontract, subcontract, grant, or subgrant; and
(2) to interview any officer or employee of the contractor, grantee, subgrantee, or agency regarding such transactions.

E. Publication
 
An application may contain technical data and other data, including trade secrets and/or privileged or confidential information, which the applicant does not want disclosed to the public or used by the Government for any purpose other than the application. To protect such data, the applicant should specifically identify each page including each line or paragraph thereof containing the data to be protected and mark the cover sheet of the application with the following Notice as well as referring to the Notice on each page to which the Notice applies:

Notice of Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data
The data contained in pages ---- of this application have been submitted in confidence and contain trade secrets or proprietary information, and such data shall be used or disclosed only for evaluation purposes, provided that if this applicant receives an award as a result of or in connection with the submission of this application, DOE shall have the right to use or disclose the data here to the extent provided in the award. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use or disclose data obtained without restriction from any source, including the applicant.

If the Recipient determines at any time that any construction, alteration, or repair activity on a public building or public works will be performed during the course of the project, the Recipient shall notify the Contracting Officer prior to commencing such work and the following provisions shall apply.
(a) Definitions. As used in this award term and condition-
(1) Manufactured good means a good brought to the construction site for incorporation into the building or work that has been-
(i) Processed into a specific form and shape; or
(ii) Combined with other raw material to create a material that has different properties than the properties of the individual raw materials.
(2) Public building and public work means a public building of, and a public work of, a governmental entity (the United States; the District of Columbia; commonwealths, territories, and minor outlying islands of the United States; State and local governments; and multi-State, regional, or interstate entities which have governmental functions). These buildings and works may include, without limitation, bridges, dams, plants, highways, parkways, streets, subways, tunnels, sewers, mains, power lines, pumping stations, heavy generators, railways, airports, terminals, docks, piers, wharves, ways, lighthouses, buoys, jetties, breakwaters, levees, and canals, and the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of such buildings and works.
(3) Steel means an alloy that includes at least 50 percent iron, between .02 and 2 percent carbon, and may include other elements.
(b) Domestic preference. (1) This award term and condition implements Section 1605 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111-5), by requiring that all iron, steel, and manufactured goods used in the project are produced in the United States except as provided in paragraph (b)(3) of this section and condition.
(2) This requirement does not apply to the material listed by the Federal Government as follows:
none



16





(3) The award official may add other iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this section and condition if the Federal Government determines that-
(i) The cost of the domestic iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods would be unreasonable. The cost of domestic iron, steel, or manufactured goods used in the project is unreasonable when the cumulative cost of such material will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent;
(ii) The iron, steel, and/or manufactured good is not produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality; or
(iii) The application of the restriction of section 1605 of the Recovery Act would be inconsistent with the public interest.
(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of Section 1605 of the Recovery Act . (1)(i) Any recipient request to use foreign iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this section shall include adequate information for Federal Government evaluation of the request, including-
(A) A description of the foreign and domestic iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods;
(B) Unit of measure;
(C) Quantity;
(D) Cost;
(E) Time of delivery or availability;
(F) Location of the project;

(iii) The cost of iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty.
(iv) Any recipient request for a determination submitted after Recovery Act funds have been obligated for a project for construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair shall explain why the recipient could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before the funds were obligated. If the recipient does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the award official need not make a determination.



17





(2) If the Federal Government determines after funds have been obligated for a project for construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair that an exception to section 1605 of the Recovery Act applies, the award official will amend the award to allow use of the foreign iron, steel, and/or relevant manufactured goods. When the basis for the exception is nonavailability or public interest, the amended award shall reflect adjustment of the award amount, redistribution of budgeted funds, and/or other actions taken to cover costs associated with acquiring or using the foreign iron, steel, and/or relevant manufactured goods. When the basis for the exception is the unreasonable cost of the domestic iron, steel, or manufactured goods, the award official shall adjust the award amount or redistribute budgeted funds by at least the differential established in 2 CFR 176.110(a).
(3) Unless the Federal Government determines that an exception to section 1605 of the Recovery Act applies, use of foreign iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods is noncompliant with section 1605 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (b) of this section based on unreasonable cost, the Recipient shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

(ii) Section 1605(d), which requires application of the Buy American requirement in a manner consistent with U.S. obligations under international agreements. The restrictions of section 1605 of the Recovery Act do not apply to designated country iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods. The Buy American requirement in section 1605 shall not be applied where the iron, steel or manufactured goods used in the project are from a Party to an international agreement that obligates the recipient to treat the goods and services of that Party the same as domestic goods and services. This obligation shall only apply to projects with an estimated value of $7,443,000 or more.
(2) The recipient shall use only domestic or designated country iron, steel, and manufactured goods in performing the work funded in whole or part with this award, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4) of this section.
(3) The requirement in paragraph (b)(2) of this section does not apply to the iron, steel, and manufactured goods listed by the Federal Government as follows:
none
(4) The award official may add other iron, steel, and manufactured goods to the list in paragraph (b)(3) of this section if the Federal Government determines that-
(i) The cost of domestic iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods would be unreasonable. The cost of domestic iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods used in the project is unreasonable when the cumulative cost of such material will increase the overall cost of the project by more than 25 percent;



20





(ii) The iron, steel, and/or manufactured good is not produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality; or
(iii) The application of the restriction of section 1605 of the Recovery Act would be inconsistent with the public interest.
(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of section 1605 of the Recovery Act or the Buy American Act. (1)(i) Any recipient request to use foreign iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods in accordance with paragraph (b)(4) of this section shall include adequate information for Federal Government evaluation of the request, including-
(A) A description of the foreign and domestic iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods;
(B) Unit of measure;
(C) Quantity;
(D) Cost;
(E) Time of delivery or availability;

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(4) of this section.
(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed cost comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this section.
(iii) The cost of iron, steel, or manufactured goods shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty.
(iv) Any recipient request for a determination submitted after Recovery Act funds have been obligated for a project for construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair shall explain why the recipient could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before the funds were obligated. If the recipient does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the award official need not make a determination.
(2) If the Federal Government determines after funds have been obligated for a project for construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair that an exception to section 1605 of the Recovery Act applies, the award official will amend the award to allow use of the foreign iron, steel, and/or relevant manufactured goods. When the basis for the exception is nonavailability or public interest, the amended award shall reflect adjustment of the award amount, redistribution of budgeted funds, and/or other appropriate actions taken to cover costs associated with acquiring or using the foreign iron, steel, and/or relevant manufactured goods. When the basis for the exception is the unreasonable cost of the domestic iron, steel, or manufactured goods, the award official shall adjust the award amount or redistribute budgeted funds, as appropriate, by at least the differential established in 2 CFR 176.110(a).



21





(3) Unless the Federal Government determines that an exception to section 1605 of the Recovery Act applies, use of foreign iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods other than designated country iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods is noncompliant with the applicable Act.
(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (b) of this section based on unreasonable cost, the applicant shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

RECOVERY ACT TRANSACTIONS LISTED IN SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS AND RECIPIENT RESPONSIBILITIES FOR INFORMING SUBRECIPIENTS
(a) To maximize the transparency and accountability of funds authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-5) (Recovery Act) as required by Congress and in accordance with 2 CFR 215.21 “Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements” and OMB Circular A-102 Common Rules provisions, recipients agree to maintain records that identify adequately the source and application of Recovery Act funds. OMB Circular A-102 is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a102/a102.html.



22





(b) For recipients covered by the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and OMB Circular A-133, “Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations,” recipients agree to separately identify the expenditures for Federal awards under the Recovery Act on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) and the Data Collection Form (SF-SAC) required by OMB Circular A-133. OMB Circular A-133 is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a133/a133.html. This shall be accomplished by identifying expenditures for Federal awards made under the Recovery Act separately on the SEFA, and as separate rows under Item 9 of Part III on the SF-SAC by CFDA number, and inclusion of the prefix “ARRA-” in identifying the name of the Federal program on the SEFA and as the first characters in Item 9d of Part III on the SF-SAC.
(c) Recipients agree to separately identify to each subrecipient, and document at the time of subaward and at the time of disbursement of funds, the Federal award number, CFDA number, and amount of Recovery Act funds. When a recipient awards Recovery Act funds for an existing program, the information furnished to subrecipients shall distinguish the subawards of incremental Recovery Act funds from regular subawards under the existing program.
(d) Recipients agree to require their subrecipients to include on their SEFA information to specifically identify Recovery Act funding similar to the requirements for the recipient SEFA described above. This information is needed to allow the recipient to properly monitor subrecipient expenditure of ARRA funds as well as oversight by the Federal awarding agencies, Offices of Inspector General and the Government Accountability Office.

28.
WAGE RATE REQUIREMENTS UNDER SECTION 1606 OF THE RECOVERY ACT
(a) Section 1606 of the Recovery Act requires that all laborers and mechanics employed by contractors and subcontractors on projects funded directly by or assisted in whole or in part by and through the Federal Government pursuant to the Recovery Act shall be paid wages at rates not less than those prevailing on projects of a character similar in the locality as determined by the Secretary of Labor in accordance with subchapter IV of chapter 31 of title 40, United States Code.
Pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 14 and the Copeland Act, 40 U.S.C. 3145, the Department of Labor has issued regulations at 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 to implement the Davis-Bacon and related Acts. Regulations in 29 CFR 5.5 instruct agencies concerning application of the standard Davis-Bacon contract clauses set forth in that section. Federal agencies providing grants, cooperative agreements, and loans under the Recovery Act shall ensure that the standard Davis-Bacon contract clauses found in 29 CFR 5.5(a) are incorporated in any resultant covered contracts that are in excess of $2,000 for construction, alteration or repair (including painting and decorating).



23





(b) For additional guidance on the wage rate requirements of section 1606, contact your awarding agency. Recipients of grants, cooperative agreements and loans should direct their initial inquiries concerning the application of Davis-Bacon requirements to a particular federally assisted project to the Federal agency funding the project. The Secretary of Labor retains final coverage authority under Reorganization Plan Number 14.

DAVIS BACON ACT AND CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT

If the Recipient determines at any time that any construction, alteration, or repair activity as defined by 29 CFR 5.2(j) ( http://cfr.vlex.com/vid/5-2-definitions-19681309 ) will be performed during the course of the project, the Recipient shall notify the Contracting Officer prior to commencing such work and the following provisions shall apply. A modification to the award which incorporates the appropriate Davis-Bacon wage rate determination(s) will constitute the Contracting Officer's approval to proceed.

Definitions: For purposes of this provision, “Davis Bacon Act and Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act,” the following definitions are applicable:

(1) “Award” means any grant, cooperative agreement or technology investment agreement made with Recovery Act funds by the Department of Energy (DOE) to a Recipient. Such Award must require compliance with the labor standards clauses and wage rate requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act (DBA) for work performed by all laborers and mechanics employed by Recipients (other than a unit of State or local government whose own employees perform the construction) Subrecipients, Contractors, and subcontractors.

(2) “Contractor” means an entity that enters into a Contract. For purposes of these clauses, Contractor shall include (as applicable) prime contractors, Recipients, Subrecipients, and Recipients' or Subrecipients' contractors, subcontractors, and lower-tier subcontractors. “Contractor” does not mean a unit of State or local government where construction is performed by its own employees.”

(3) “Contract” means a contract executed by a Recipient, Subrecipient, prime contractor, or any tier subcontractor for construction, alteration, or repair. It may also mean (as applicable) (i) financial assistance instruments such as grants, cooperative agreements, technology investment agreements, and loans; and, (ii) Sub awards, contracts and subcontracts issued under financial assistance agreements. “Contract” does not mean a financial assistance instrument with a unit of State or local government where construction is performed by its own employees.



24





(4) “Contracting Officer” means the DOE official authorized to execute an Award on behalf of DOE and who is responsible for the business management and non-program aspects of the financial assistance process.

(5) “Recipient” means any entity other than an individual that receives an Award of Federal funds in the form of a grant, cooperative agreement, or technology investment agreement directly from the Federal Government and is financially accountable for the use of any DOE funds or property, and is legally responsible for carrying out the terms and conditions of the program and Award.

(6) “Subaward” means an award of financial assistance in the form of money, or property in lieu of money, made under an award by a Recipient to an eligible Subrecipient or by a Subrecipient to a lower-tier subrecipient. The term includes financial assistance when provided by any legal agreement, even if the agreement is called a contract, but does not include the Recipient's procurement of goods and services to carry out the program nor does it include any form of assistance which is excluded from the definition of “Award” above.

(7) “Subrecipient” means a non-Federal entity that expends Federal funds received from a Recipient to carry out a Federal program, but does not include an individual that is a beneficiary of such a program.

(a) Davis Bacon Act

(1) Minimum wages.

(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and, without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor and such laborers and mechanics.

Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage



25





determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in § 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein, provided that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the Contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.

(ii)(A) The Contracting Officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the Contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The Contracting Officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met:

(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination;

(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and

(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.

(B) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the Contracting Officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the Contracting Officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the Contracting Officer or will notify the Contracting Officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.

(C) In the event the Contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the Contracting Officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the Contracting Officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the Contracting Officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the Contracting Officer or will notify the Contracting Officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.



26





(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii)(B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this Contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.

(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the Contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the Contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.

(iv) If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the Contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, provided that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the Contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the Contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.

(2) Withholding. The Department of Energy or the Recipient or Subrecipient shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the Contractor under this Contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the Contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), all or part of the wages required by the Contract, the Department of Energy, Recipient, or Subrecipient, may, after written notice to the Contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.

(3) Payrolls and basic records.

(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the Contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under



27





the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the Contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.

(ii) (A) The Contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any Contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the Department of Energy if the agency is a party to the Contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit the payrolls to the Recipient or Subrecipient (as applicable), applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Department of Energy. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead, the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee's social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor site. The prime Contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to the Department of Energy if the agency is a party to the Contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit them to the Recipient or Subrecipient (as applicable), applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Department of Energy, the Contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring government agency (or the Recipient or Subrecipient (as applicable), applicant, sponsor, or owner).



28





(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a “Statement of Compliance,” signed by the Contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the Contract and shall certify the following:

(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under § 5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, the appropriate information is being maintained under § 5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, and that such information is correct and complete;

(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the Contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR part 3;

(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the Contract.

(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section.

(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the Contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 3729 of title 31 of the United States Code.

(iii) The Contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the Department of Energy or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the Contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the Contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.



29





(4) Apprentices and trainees-

(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the Contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a Contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the Contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.

(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to



30





journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.

(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees, and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended and 29 CFR part 30.

(5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this Contract.

(6) Contracts and Subcontracts. The Recipient, Subrecipient, the Recipient's, and Subrecipient's contractors and subcontractor shall insert in any Contracts the clauses contained herein in(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the Department of Energy may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The Recipient shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all of the paragraphs in this clause.

(7) Contract termination: debarment. A breach of the Contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the Contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.

(8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this Contract.



31





(9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this Contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this Contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the Recipient, Subrecipient, the Contractor (or any of its subcontractors), and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.

(10) Certification of eligibility.

(i) By entering into this Contract, the Contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the Contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).

(ii) No part of this Contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).

(iii) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C. 1001.

NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (NEPA) REQUIREMENTS

For this award, DOE has made a final NEPA determination for all activities under this award that are listed in the Statement of Project Objectives (SOPO) formally approved by DOE through incorporation into and attached to the award. You (Recipient) may proceed with the activities as described in the SOPO. This NEPA determination is specific to the project as described in the SOPO formally approved by DOE through incorporation into and attached to the award.

If you later add to or modify the activities in the above-referenced SOPO, you must submit the revised SOPO to the DOE Project Officer. Those additions or modifications are subject to review by the NEPA Compliance Officer and approval by the DOE's Contracting Officer. Recipients are restricted from taking any action using Federal funds, which would have an adverse effect on the environment or limit the choice of reasonable alternatives prior to DOE providing a final NEPA determination. Any new activities or modification of activities is subject to additional NEPA review and is not authorized for federal funding until DOE provides a NEPA determination on those additions or modifications. DOE may require the Recipient to submit additional information to support a revised NEPA determination. Should you move forward with activities that are not authorized for Federal funding by the DOE Contracting Officer in advance of the final NEPA determination, you are doing so at risk of not receiving Federal funding and such costs may not be recognized as allowable cost share.

3. PRODUCTS : [Optional/Mandatory]

What has the project produced?

Publications are the characteristic product of research. Agencies evaluate what the publications demonstrate about the excellence and significance of the research and the efficacy with which the results are being communicated to colleagues, potential users, and the public, not the number of publications. Many projects (though not all) develop significant products other than publications. Agencies assess and report both publications and other products to Congress, communities of interest, and the public.

INSTRUCTIONS - Products

List any products resulting from the project during the reporting period. Examples of products include:

Publications, conference papers, and presentations;
Website(s) or other Internet site(s);
Technologies or techniques;
Inventions, patent applications, and/or licenses;

More detail on partner and contribution (foreign or domestic).

Have other collaborators or contacts been involved?

Some significant collaborators or contacts within the recipient's organization may not be covered by "What people have worked on the project?" Likewise, some significant collaborators or contacts outside the recipient's organization may not be covered under "What other organizations have been involved as partners?" For example, describe any significant:





collaborations with others within the recipient's organization; especially interdepartmental or interdisciplinary collaborations;
collaborations or contact with others outside the organization; and
collaborations or contacts with others outside the United States or with an international organization.
country(ies) of collaborations or contacts.

It is likely that many recipients will have no other collaborators or contacts to report.

5. IMPACT : [Optional/Mandatory]

What is the impact of the project? How has it contributed?

Over the years, this base of knowledge, techniques, people, and infrastructure is drawn upon again and again for application to commercial technology and the economy, to health and safety, to cost-efficient environmental protection, to the solution of social problems, to numerous other aspects of the public welfare, and to other fields of endeavor.

The taxpaying public and its representatives deserve a periodic assessment to show them how the investments they make benefit the nation. Through this reporting format, and especially this section, recipients provide that assessment and make the case for Federal funding of research and education.

Agencies use this information to assess how their research programs:

increase the body of knowledge and techniques;
enlarge the pool of people trained to develop that knowledge and techniques or put it to use;
and
improve the physical, institutional, and information resources that enable those people to get
their training and perform their functions.

INSTRUCTIONS - Impact

This component will be used to describe ways in which the work, findings, and specific products of the project have had an impact during this reporting period. Describe distinctive contributions, major accomplishments, innovations, successes, or any change in practice or behavior that has come about as a result of the project relative to:

the development of the principal discipline(s) of the project;
other disciplines;
the development of human resources;
physical, institutional, and information resources that form infrastructure;
technology transfer (include transfer of results to entities in government or industry,
adoption of new practices, or instances where research has led to the initiation of a startup
company); or
society beyond science and technology.






What is the impact on the development of the principal discipline(s) of the project?

Describe how findings, results, techniques that were developed or extended, or other products from the project made an impact or are likely to make an impact on the base of knowledge, theory, and research and/or pedagogical methods in the principal disciplinary field(s) of the project. Summarize using language that an intelligent lay audience can understand ( Scientific American style).

How the field or discipline is defined is not as important as covering the impact the work has had on knowledge and technique. Make the best distinction possible, for example, by using a "field" or "discipline", if appropriate, that corresponds with a single academic department (i.e., physics rather than nuclear physics).

What is the impact on other disciplines?

Describe how the findings, results, or techniques that were developed or improved, or other products from the project made an impact or are likely to make an impact on other disciplines.

What is the impact on the development of human resources?

Describe how the project made an impact or is likely to make an impact on human resource development in science, engineering, and technology. For example, how has the project:

provided opportunities for research and teaching in the relevant fields;
improved the performance, skills, or attitudes of members of underrepresented groups that will improve their access to or retention in research, teaching, or other related professions;
developed and disseminated new educational materials or provided scholarships; or
provided exposure to science and technology for practitioners, teachers, young people, or other members of the public?

What is the impact on physical, institutional, and information resources that form
infrastructure?

Describe ways, if any, in which the project made an impact, or is likely to make an impact, on
physical, institutional, and information resources that form infrastructure, including:

physical resources such as facilities, laboratories, or instruments;
institutional resources (such as establishment or sustenance of societies or organizations); or
information resources, electronic means for accessing such resources or for scientific communication, or the like.

What is the impact on technology transfer?

Describe ways in which the project made an impact, or is likely to make an impact, on commercial technology or public use, including:





transfer of results to entities in government or industry;
instances where the research has led to the initiation of a start-up company; or

improving public knowledge, attitudes, skills, and abilities;
changing behavior, practices, decision making, policies (including regulatory policies), or
social actions; or
improving social, economic, civic, or environmental conditions.

What dollar amount of the award's budget is being spent in foreign country(ies)?

Describe what percentage of the award's budget is being spent in foreign country(ies). If more than one foreign country, identify the distribution between the foreign countries.

(Transferee), a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware, with its principal office in Emeryville, CA; and the United States of America (Government), enter into this Novation and Change of Name Agreement (Agreement) in accordance with the terms set forth below.

WHEREAS, on or about December 30, 2009, the Government, represented by Contracting Officer(s) of the Department of Energy, awarded Cooperative Agreement Number DE-EE0002869, entitled "Recovery Act: Scale-up & Mobilization of Renewable Diesel & Chemical Production from Common Intermediate Using US-Based Fermentable Sugar Feedstocks" (hereinafter, including all modifications, referred to as "the Award") to Amyris Biotechnologies, Inc. a California corporation (Predecessor), who was Transferee's predecessor-in-interest; and

WHEREAS, the Transferee has requested that the Award be assigned to the Transferee as a result of a corporate merger by conversion of shares, change of name and reincorporation; and

WHEREAS, the Transferee represents and warrants the following facts to the Government in support of its request to assign the Award:

1.    It is consistent with the Government's interest to recognize the Transferee as the successor party to the Award.

2.    The Transferee confirms that as the successor-in-interest to Predecessor, the assignment of the Award, and all of its rights and responsibilities under the Award, were in fact transferred to the Transferee, and that the Predecessor no longer exists as a legal entity and therefore any claims and rights that the Predecessor may have had against the Government or may have had in the future in connection with the Award, including all claims to any unexpended and uncommitted funds, are no longer of any legal force or effect as to the Predecessor.

3.    The Transferee agrees to be bound by, and to perform in accordance with the conditions contained in the Award. The Transferee also assumes all obligations and liabilities of, and all claims against, the Predecessor under the Award as if the Transferee were the original party to the Award.

4.    The Transferee ratifies all previous actions taken by the Predecessor with respect to the Award, with the same force and effect as if the action had been taken by the Transferee.

6.    Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in it shall be construed as a waiver of any rights of the Government against the Predecessor or the Transferee.

7.    All payments and reimbursements previously made by the Government to the Predecessor, and all other previous actions taken by the Government under the Award, shall be considered to have discharged those parts of the Government's obligations under the Award . All payments and reimbursements made by the Government after the date of this Agreement in the name of or to the Predecessor shall have the same force and effect as if made to the Transferee, and shall constitute a complete discharge of the Government's obligations under the Award, to the extent of the amounts paid or reimbursed.






8.    The Transferee agrees that the Government is not obligated to pay or reimburse it for, or otherwise give effect to, any costs, taxes, or other expenses, or any related increases, directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from the transfer of the Award or this Agreement, other than those that the Government in the absence of this transfer or Agreement would have been obligated to pay or reimburse under the terms of the Award.

9.    The Government's execution of this Agreement does not constitute approval by the Government of the terms or conditions of the documents submitted by the Predecessor and Transferee in support of their request to assign the Award nor does it constitute a determination by the Government regarding the allow ability of costs incurred by the Transferee pursuant to those documents.

10.    If Transferee is not going to perform an aspect of the award itself and chooses to utilize the services or resources of any of its related companies, the related company will be treated as a sub-recipient and will not be allowable as a vendor.

11.    The Award shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified by this Agreement, and nothing contained herein shall limit the Government's ability to modify the terms and conditions of the Award as the Government finds necessary.

(ii) acquisitions of Common Stock in exercise of the Company's right of first refusal to repurchase such shares; or

(iii) distributions to holders of Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.

b. Common Stock Dividends. In the event the Company shall declare a distribution or dividend on any Common Stock (other than dividends payable solely in Common Stock of the Company), then, in each such case, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though the holders of the Preferred Stock were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which their respective shares of Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Company entitled to receive such distribution.

2. Liquidation Preference.

a. Payments to Holders of Preferred Stock. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (a “ Liquidation ”), whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis but prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the legally available assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, (i) in the case of Series A Preferred Stock, the amount of $2.174 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares, (the “ Series A Issue Price ”), plus all declared but unpaid dividends, on each such share then held by them, (ii) in the case of Series B Preferred Stock, the amount of $24.88 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares (the “ Series B Issue Price ”), plus all declared but unpaid dividends, on each such share then held by them, (iii) in the case of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the amount of $25.26 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares (the “ Series B-1 Issue Price ”), plus all declared but unpaid dividends, on each such share then held by them, (iv) in the case of Series C Preferred Stock, the amount of $12.46 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares (the “ Series C Issue Price ”), and (v) in the case of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, the amount of $17.56 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares (the “ Series C-1 Issue Price ”). If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.

b. Payments to Holders of Common Stock. After payment to the holders of the Preferred Stock of the amounts set forth in Section 2.a above, the entire remaining



4





assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each.

c. Conversion for Payments. Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) above, solely for purposes of determining the amount each holder of shares of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive with respect to a Liquidation, each series of Preferred Stock shall be treated as if all holders of such series had converted such holder's shares of such series into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Liquidation if, as a result of an actual conversion of any series of Preferred Stock (including taking into account the operation of this paragraph (c) with respect to all series of Preferred Stock), holders of such series would receive (with respect to such series), in the aggregate, an amount greater than the amount that would be distributed to holders of such series if such holders had not converted such series of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock.

d. Deemed Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 2, (i) any acquisition of the Company by means of merger or other form of corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Company are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring company or its subsidiary (other than a transaction effected solely to reincorporate the Company in another jurisdiction) and pursuant to which the holders of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or other transaction fail to hold equity securities representing a majority of the voting power of the Company or surviving entity immediately following such consolidation, merger or other transaction (an “ Acquisition ”) or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (an “ Asset Sale ”), shall be treated as a Liquidation of the Company and shall entitle the holders of Preferred Stock to receive at the closing of such transaction in cash, securities or other property (valued as provided in Section 2.e below) the amounts as specified in Section 2.a above; provided that an Acquisition shall not include any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or any successor or indebtedness of the Company is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof.

e. Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. Whenever the distribution provided for in this Section 2 shall be payable in securities or property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such securities or other property. Any securities shall be valued as follows:

(i) If traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing;

(ii) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and

(iii) If there is no active market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

3. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, the Preferred Stock will be voted equally with the shares of the Common Stock and not as a separate class, at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company, and may act by written consent in the same manner as the Common Stock, in either case upon the following basis: each holder of shares of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the respective number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock could be converted immediately after the close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such written consent, and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).

4. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows:

a. Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for such stock, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon conversion shall be determined by dividing the Series A Issue Price, Series B Issue Price, Series B-1 Issue Price, Series C Issue Price, or Series C-1 Issue Price, as applicable, by the conversion price for such share in effect at the time that such certificate is surrendered for conversion, and then multiplying by the number of shares of Preferred Stock being converted. The conversion price per share (the “ Conversion Price ”) as of the Original Issue Date (as defined below) shall be (i) for shares of Series A Preferred Stock $2.174 per share, (ii) for shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be $21.86 per share, (iii) for shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall be $22.14 per share, (iv) for shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be $12.46 per share, and (v) for shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, $17.56 per share, in each case each subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.

Upon such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.

(ii) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date specified by written consent or agreement of (A) stockholders

Upon such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.

(iii) Each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date specified by written consent or agreement of (A) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, and (B) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, or (ii) immediately upon the closing of a Qualified IPO. Upon such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.

(iv) Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date specified by written consent or agreement of (A) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, and (B) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, or (ii) immediately upon the closing of a Qualified IPO. Upon such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.

(v) Each share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date specified by written consent or agreement of (A) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, and (B) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, or (ii) immediately upon the closing of a Qualified IPO. Upon such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.

c. Mechanics of Conversion .

(i) Except in the case of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4.b., before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for such stock, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and shall promptly pay (i) in cash or, to the extent sufficient funds are not then legally available therefor, in Common Stock (at the Common Stock's fair market value determined by the Board as of the date of such conversion), any declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock being converted and (ii) in cash (at the Common Stock's fair market value determined by




7





the Board as of the date of conversion) the value of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable to any holder of Preferred Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(ii) If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering shares of Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (other than shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock authorized herein) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities then entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein designed to protect against dilution) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or


9





exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided further that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:

(1) no further adjustments in the applicable Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

(2) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the applicable Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities (provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock);

(3) upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the applicable Conversion Price to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities which remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities;
(4) no readjustment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above shall have the effect of increasing the applicable Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date or (b) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

(iv) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company, at any time after the Original Issue Date shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4.d(iii)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then, and in such event, the applicable Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and the




10





denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis, as if all shares of Preferred Stock and all outstanding Convertible Securities had been fully converted into shares of Common Stock and any outstanding warrants, outstanding options or other rights outstanding for the purchase of shares of stock or convertible securities had been fully exercised (and the resulting securities fully converted into shares of Common Stock, if so convertible) as of such date. For the purposes of adjusting the applicable Conversion Price of a series of Preferred Stock, the grant, issue or sale of Additional Shares of Common consisting of the same class of security and warrants to purchase such security issued or issuable at the same price at two or more closings held within a six (6) month period shall be aggregated and shall be treated as one sale of Additional Shares of Common occurring on the earliest date on which such securities were granted, issued or sold.

(v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 4.d, the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(1) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

(A) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Company, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or declared but unpaid dividends;

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(C) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(2) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 4.d(iii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities shall be determined by dividing

(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against dilution) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities by




11





(B) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against the dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

e. Adjustments for Stock Dividends and for Combinations or Subdivisions of Common Stock. In the event that this Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock), or in the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then the conversion price for any series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate. In the event that the Company shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration then the Company shall be deemed to have made a dividend payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.

f. Adjustments for Reclassification and Reorganization. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any series of Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for in Section 4.e above or a merger or other reorganization referred to in Section 2.d above), the Conversion Price for any series of Preferred Stock then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that the Preferred Stock shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Preferred Stock immediately before that change, respectively.

g. Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of any conversion price pursuant to this Section 4, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate executed by the Company's President or a Vice President setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the conversion price for such series of Preferred Stock at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock.






12





h. Notices of Record Date. In the event that the Company shall propose at any time (i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus, (ii) a Liquidation or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution or winding up of the Company, or (iii) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights, then, in connection with each such event, unless otherwise waived by a majority of Preferred Stock, the Company shall send to the holders of Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution, Liquidation, dissolution, winding up or subscription rights.

i. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Restated Certificate.

j. Fractional Shares. No fractional share shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors).

k. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the next business day, (iii) five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All notices shall be addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company.

5. Board Representation. In addition to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to vote on an as converted basis with holders of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 above, with respect to election of directors:






13





a. For so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect three (3) members of the Board of Directors (each a “ Series A Director ”) at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Company's stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such directors and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such directors.

b. The holders of Common Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two (2) members of the Board of Directors (each a “ Common Director ”) at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Company's stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such directors and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such directors.

c. The holders of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-if converted basis, shall be entitled to elect any additional members of the Board of Directors (each an “ Independent Director ”), and to remove from office such directors and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such directors.

6. Redemption. The Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

7. Restrictions and Limitations. So long as at least 20% of the shares of the Preferred Stock sold by the Company (as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like) remain outstanding, consent of the holders of at least the majority of the Preferred Stock shall be required for any action that (whether by amendment, merger, reorganization or otherwise):

a. alters or changes the rights, preferences or privileges of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock,

b. increases or decreases the authorized number of shares of Common or Preferred Stock,

c. creates (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of shares having rights, preferences or privileges senior to or on a parity with the Preferred Stock,

d. results in the redemption of any shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock (other than pursuant to equity incentive agreements with employees and other service providers giving the Company the right to repurchase shares upon the termination of employment or such other service relationship, at their original cost),

e. results in a Liquidation or other corporate reorganization, including any reorganization or other transaction involving any parent or subsidiary of the Company,

f. amends or waives any provision of the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws,

g. increases or decreases the authorized size of the Company's Board of Directors, or



14





h. results in the payment or declaration of any dividend on any shares of Common or Preferred Stock;

provided , however , that for any amendment or waiver of any provision of the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws that would have a material, adverse and disproportionate effect on a series of Preferred Stock relative to any other series of Preferred Stock, consent of the holders of at least the majority of such series of Preferred Stock voting as a separate class shall be required.
8. No Reissuance of Preferred Stock. No share or shares of Preferred Stock acquired by the Company by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion, or otherwise shall be reissued; and, in addition, the certificate of incorporation shall be appropriately amended to effect the corresponding reduction in the Company's authorized stock.

ARTICLE VII : BYLAW PROVISIONS .

To the fullest extent permitted by law, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

Company until dividends, in the amount of 8% of the Series A Issue Price (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) on the Series A Preferred Stock, 8% of the Series B Issue Price as defined in Section 2.a (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) on the Series B Preferred Stock, 8% of the Series B-1 Issue Price as defined in Section 2.a (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) on the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, 8% of the Series C Issue Price as defined in Section 2.a (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) on the Series C Preferred Stock, 8% of the Series C-1 Issue Price as defined in Section 2.a (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) on the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, and 8% of the Series D Issue Price as defined in Section 2.a (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) on the Series D Preferred Stock shall have been paid or declared and set apart during that fiscal year, except for:
(i) acquisitions of Common Stock by the Company pursuant to agreements which permit the Company to repurchase such shares at cost (or the lesser of cost or fair market value) upon termination of services to the Company;

(ii) acquisitions of Common Stock in exercise of the Company's right of first refusal to repurchase such shares; or

(iii) distributions to holders of Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.

b. Common Stock Dividends. In the event the Company shall declare a distribution or dividend on any Common Stock (other than dividends payable solely in Common Stock of the Company), then, in each such case, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though the holders of the Preferred Stock were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which their respective shares of Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Company entitled to receive such distribution.

2. Liquidation Preference.

a. Payments to Holders of Preferred Stock. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (a “ Liquidation ”), whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis but prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the legally available assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, (i) in the case of Series A Preferred Stock, the amount of $2.174 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares, (the “ Series A Issue Price ”), plus all declared but unpaid dividends, on each such share then held by them, (ii) in the case of Series B Preferred Stock, the amount of $24.88 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares (the “ Series B Issue Price ”), plus all declared but unpaid dividends, on





each such share then held by them, (iii) in the case of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the amount of $25.26 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares (the “ Series B-1 Issue Price ”), plus all declared but unpaid dividends, on each such share then held by them, (iv) in the case of Series C Preferred Stock, the amount of $12.46 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares (the “ Series C Issue Price ”), (v) in the case of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, the amount of $17.56 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares (the “ Series C-1 Issue Price ”), and (vi) in the case of Series D Preferred Stock, the amount of $18.75 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares (the “ Series D Issue Price ”). If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.

b. Payments to Holders of Common Stock. After payment to the holders of the Preferred Stock of the amounts set forth in Section 2.a above, the entire remaining
assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each.

c. Conversion for Payments. Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) above, solely for purposes of determining the amount each holder of shares of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive with respect to a Liquidation, each series of Preferred Stock shall be treated as if all holders of such series had converted such holder's shares of such series into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Liquidation if, as a result of an actual conversion of any series of Preferred Stock (including taking into account the operation of this paragraph (c) with respect to all series of Preferred Stock), holders of such series would receive (with respect to such series), in the aggregate, an amount greater than the amount that would be distributed to holders of such series if such holders had not converted such series of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock.

d. Deemed Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 2, (i) any acquisition of the Company by means of merger or other form of corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Company are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring company or its subsidiary (other than a transaction effected solely to reincorporate the Company in another jurisdiction) and pursuant to which the holders of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or other transaction fail to hold equity securities representing a majority of the voting power of the Company or surviving entity immediately following such consolidation, merger or other transaction (an “ Acquisition ”) or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (an “ Asset Sale ”), shall be treated as a Liquidation of the Company and shall entitle the holders of Preferred Stock to receive at the closing of such transaction in cash, securities or other property (valued as provided in Section 2.e below) the amounts as specified in Section 2.a above; provided that an Acquisition shall not include any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the





Company or any successor or indebtedness of the Company is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof.

e. Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. Whenever the distribution provided for in this Section 2 shall be payable in securities or property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such securities or other property. Any securities shall be valued as follows:

(i) If traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing;

(ii) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and

(iii) If there is no active market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

3. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, the Preferred Stock will be voted equally with the shares of the Common Stock and not as a separate class, at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company, and may act by written consent in the same manner as the Common Stock, in either case upon the following basis: each holder of shares of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the respective number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock could be converted immediately after the close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such written consent, and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).

4. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows:

a. Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for such stock, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon conversion shall be determined by dividing the Series A Issue Price, Series B Issue Price, Series B-1 Issue Price, Series C Issue Price, Series C-1 Issue Price or Series D Issue Price, as applicable, by the conversion price for such share in effect at the time that such certificate is surrendered for conversion, and then multiplying by the number of shares of Preferred Stock being converted. The conversion price per share (the “ Conversion Price ”) as of the Original Issue Date (as defined below) shall be (i) for shares of Series A Preferred Stock $2.174 per share, (ii) for shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be $22.24 per share, (iii) for shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall be $22.52 per share, (iv) for





shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be $12.46 per share, (v) for shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, $17.56 per share, and (vi) for shares of Series D Preferred Stock, $18.75 per share, in each case each subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.

b. Automatic Conversion.

(i) Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date specified by written consent or agreement of stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, or (ii) immediately upon the closing of the sale of the Company's Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), which results in aggregate proceeds to the Company (before deduction for underwriters' discounts and expenses relating to the issuance, including without limitation fees of the Company's counsel) equal to at least $30,000,000 (a “ Qualified IPO ”). Upon such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.

(ii) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date specified by written consent or agreement of (A) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, and (B) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, or (ii) immediately upon the closing of a Qualified IPO. Upon such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.

(iii) Each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date specified by written consent or agreement of (A) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, and (B) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, or (ii) immediately upon the closing of a Qualified IPO. Upon such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.

(iv) Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date specified by written consent or agreement of (A) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, and (B) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, or (ii) immediately upon the closing of a Qualified IPO. Upon such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.

(v) Each share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price





upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date specified by written consent or agreement of (A) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, and (B) stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, or (ii) immediately upon the closing of a Qualified IPO. Upon such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.

(vi) Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price upon the earlier to occur of (A) the date specified by written consent or agreement of stockholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class (provided that all other shares of Preferred Stock are converted into shares of Common Stock at the same time that the shares of Series D Preferred Stock are converted into shares of Common Stock), or (B) immediately upon the closing of a Qualified IPO. Upon such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing subclause (A), the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series D Preferred Stock shall also be required if the conversion of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock is effected in connection with an Acquisition or Asset Sale in which the value of the consideration to be received (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) in respect of the share or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series D Preferred Stock is less than the product of one hundred fifty percent (150%) multiplied by the Series D Issue Price.

c. Mechanics of Conversion .

(i) Except in the case of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4.b., before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for such stock, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and shall promptly pay (i) in cash or, to the extent sufficient funds are not then legally available therefor, in Common Stock (at the Common Stock's fair market value determined by the Board as of the date of such conversion), any declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock being converted and (ii) in cash (at the Common Stock's fair market value determined by the Board as of the date of conversion) the value of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable to any holder of Preferred Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(ii) If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion may, at the option of any





holder tendering shares of Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

d. Adjustments to Conversion Price for Certain Diluting Issues.

(i) Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section 4, the following definitions apply:

(1) Options ” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Common Stock or Convertible Securities (as defined below).

(2) Original Issue Date ” shall mean the date on which the first share of Series D Preferred Stock is issued.

(3) Convertible Securities ” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares (other than Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock) or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, including securities described in Section 4.d.(i)(4) .

(4) Additional Shares of Common Stock ” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section 4.d(iii) deemed to be issued) by the Company after the Original Issue Date, other than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable after the Original Issue Date:

(A) upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock;

(B) pursuant to or issuable upon exercise of options or warrants to purchase shares of Common stock, issued to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company or a subsidiary pursuant to stock option or stock purchase plans or other arrangements in each case on terms approved by at least 76% of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company;

(F) pursuant to a transaction described in Section 4.e or 4.f;

(G) for which adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price is made pursuant to this Section 4;

(H) pursuant to or issuable upon exercise of warrants, options or other rights to acquire securities of the Company outstanding as of the Original Issue Date and any securities issuable upon conversion thereof;

(I) pursuant to or issuable upon conversion, exchange or cancellation of shares of Amyris Brasil S.A., a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company; or

(J) upon the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-if converted basis.

(ii) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 4.d(v) hereof) for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Company is less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue.

(iii) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities then entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein designed to protect against dilution) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided further that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:

(1) no further adjustments in the applicable Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

(2) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the applicable Conversion Price computed upon the





original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities (provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock);

(3) upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the applicable Conversion Price to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities which remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities;
(4) no readjustment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above shall have the effect of increasing the applicable Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date or (b) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

(iv) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company, at any time after the Original Issue Date shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4.d(iii)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then, and in such event, the applicable Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis, as if all shares of Preferred Stock and all outstanding Convertible Securities had been fully converted into shares of Common Stock and any outstanding warrants, outstanding options or other rights outstanding for the purchase of shares of stock or convertible securities had been fully exercised (and the resulting securities fully converted into shares of Common Stock, if so convertible) as of such date. For the purposes of adjusting the applicable Conversion Price of a series of Preferred Stock, the grant, issue or sale of Additional Shares of Common consisting of the same class of security and warrants to purchase such security issued or issuable at the same price at two or more closings held within a six (6) month period shall be aggregated and shall be





treated as one sale of Additional Shares of Common occurring on the earliest date on which such securities were granted, issued or sold.

(v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 4.d, the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(1) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

(A) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Company, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or declared but unpaid dividends;

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(C) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(2) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 4.d(iii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities shall be determined by dividing

(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against dilution) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities by
(B) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against the dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

e. Adjustment of Conversion Price of Series D Preferred Stock Upon Qualified IPO . In the event of a Qualified IPO that closes (i) on or before September 30, 2010, in which the initial public offering price for the Common Stock in such Qualified IPO (the “ IPO Price ”) is less than the product of (a) 1.16 multiplied by (b) the Series D Preferred Stock Conversion Price then in effect, the Series D Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be reduced to the quotient obtained by dividing (w) the IPO Price by (x) 1.16; or (ii) after September 30, 2010, in which the IPO Price is less than the product of (c) 1.30 multiplied by (d) the Series D Preferred Stock Conversion Price then in effect, the Series D Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be reduced to the quotient obtained by dividing (y) the IPO Price by (z) 1.30.







f. Adjustments for Stock Dividends and for Combinations or Subdivisions of Common Stock . In the event that this Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock), or in the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then the conversion price for any series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate. In the event that the Company shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration then the Company shall be deemed to have made a dividend payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.

g. Adjustments for Reclassification and Reorganization . If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any series of Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for in Section 4.e above or a merger or other reorganization referred to in Section 2.d above), the Conversion Price for any series of Preferred Stock then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that the Preferred Stock shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Preferred Stock immediately before that change, respectively.
h. Certificates as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of any conversion price pursuant to this Section 4, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate executed by the Company's President, Chief Financial Officer or a Vice President setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the conversion price for such series of Preferred Stock at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock.

i. Notices of Record Date . In the event that the Company shall propose at any time (i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether





in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus, (ii) a Liquidation or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution or winding up of the Company, or (iii) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights, then, in connection with each such event, unless otherwise waived by a majority of Preferred Stock, the Company shall send to the holders of Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution, Liquidation, dissolution, winding up or subscription rights.

j. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion . The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Restated Certificate.

k. Fractional Shares . No fractional share shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors).

l. Notices . Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the next business day, (iii) five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All notices shall be addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company.

5. Board Representation. In addition to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to vote on an as converted basis with holders of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 above, with respect to election of directors:

a. For so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled





to elect three (3) members of the Board of Directors (each a “ Series A Director ”) at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Company's stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such directors and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to elect the Series A Directors shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) an Acquisition; or (ii) an Asset Sale.

b.

STATEMENT OF PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Amyris Biotechnologies, Inc.
Recovery Act: Scale-up and Mobilization of Renewable Diesel and Chemical Production from Common
Intermediate using US-based Fermentable Sugar Feedstocks

A. PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The Amyris pilot-scale Integrated Biorefinery (IBR) will leverage and upgrade Amyris's existing Emeryville, California pilot plant and support labs to develop US-based production capabilities for No Compromise® renewable diesel fuel and petrochemical substitutes such as lubricants and polymers. These products will be derived semi-synthetically from high-impact biomass feedstocks via microbial fermentation to the same 15- carbon isoprenoid intermediate and subsequent chemical finishing. In particular, Amyris will adapt its current sugarcane juice-based processes to instead utilize sweet sorghum juice and lignocellulosic sugars as a domestic feedstock alternative. To this end, the Amyris IBR team will prepare standard operating procedures (SOPs) for diesel and chemical manufacturing from sweet sorghum, and potentially other high-impact feedstocks, at pilot scale. This will enable robust ongoing techno-economic analysis (TEA), regulatory approvals, and a conceptual design for demonstration- and commercial-scale manufacturing facilities at project closure.

B. PROJECT SCOPE

The primary product of the Amyris IBR is Amyris Renewable Diesel. Secondary products will include lubricants, polymers and other petro-chemical substitutes -- in particular, plasticizers present a significant opportunity as a polymer component used at very high percentages in bulk plastics. Amyris and its project partners will execute on a rapid project to integrate and leverage their collective expertise to enable the conversion of high-impact biomass feedstocks to these advanced, infrastructure-compatible fuel and chemical products. Amyris will perform large scale contract manufacturing for process and product testing to support regulatory and end-user acceptance for domestic production and utilization. Amyris will double the fermentation capacity at its pilot plant and add significant functionality to enable more flexible sugar-stream handling and product finishing unit operations.

For Amyris's IBR project the key feedstock focus will be the utilization of sweet sorghum in collaboration with project partners. The team will plant and harvest sweet sorghum within existing agricultural footprints, concentrate juice to syrup and ship syrup to Amyris and bagasse to Amyris's pretreatment partner. Sweet sorghum bagasse pretreatment conditions will be developed first at lab scale and then at pilot scale, based on feedback from Amyris regarding fermentation performance using different bagasse-derived sugar streams. Other lignocellulosic sugar streams are options as well, either as risk mitigation for sweet sorghum or as feedstock alternatives once sweet sorghum has been validated. Continuing to use its defined media and cane juice-based fermentation processing as reference points, Amyris will optimize sweet sorghum juice- and lignocellulosic sugar-based C15 production in its pilot plant and support labs using its suite of C6 sugar-utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains. For downstream integration with product finishing and to utilize unfermented C5 sugars from bagasse, fermentation effluent vinasse will be treated by anaerobic digestion for biogas production. Biogas cleanup procedures will be developed and modeled for production of highly pure methane for conversion to hydrogen - a key component for Amyris product finishing - via steam-methane reformation.

Development of alternative products, in addition to diesel, is a core focus of the Amyris IBR project, with both scale-up efforts relying on a robust TEA. Amyris will leverage a variety of vendors with expertise in large-scale production and fuel and chemical product testing to support product acceptance objectives. Supplementing existing product approvals from 20% Amyris Diesel to higher blend percentages and





additional products is a focus area. Finally, readying Amyris from a regulatory standpoint for domestic manufacturing will be a component of this IBR project.

C. TASKS TO BE PERFORMED

Task A.0 Amyris Pilot Plant Upgrades and Operations
Unit operation upgrades and capacity augmentation for both fermentation and chemical processing at Amyris's existing Emeryville pilot plant form a core component of this IBR project. During the two budget periods of the project Amyris will leverage its experience in pilot plant design, construction and operation to rapidly execute with minimal incremental permitting required. In particular, Amyris anticipates little or no downtime of ongoing pilot operations during upgrade design and installation.

Subtask A.1 Amyris pilot plant upgrade design and approvals (Phase 1)
Amyris has scoped initial facility design and will rapidly move to complete this effort. Equipment has already been selected and a general contractor has been engaged. Working with the Department of Energy (DOE) Amyris will adapt a risk management plan from the original construction and initial start-up of the pilot plant in 2008 and ensure that necessary permitting is completed. During the design phase Amyris' pilot plant will continue to operate with current capacity using defined media and real-world feedstocks, such as cane syrup, in order to prototype and develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) and performance metrics for adaptation to sorghum utilization.

Subtask A.2 Amyris pilot plant upgrade installation (Phase 2)
This subtask will include construction and installation activities. Fermentors have the longest lead time and will most likely require nine months for delivery. Other unit operations for downstream processing and upstream feedstock handling will be installed earlier and as delivered pending construction completion in relevant process areas. Amyris's pilot plant will begin handling sweet sorghum-derived feedstreams from a contractor to develop early benchmark data and validate performance targets. During the course of upgrading the pilot plant facility, Amyris will continue ongoing operations and prototyping with defined media and cane-derived feedstreams to simulate and facilitate conversion of sorghum sugars to finished products. This will be accomplished using Amyris's existing pilot plant capacity and by integrating with additional unit operations as they come online.

Subtask A.3 Post-upgrade Amyris pilot plant operations (Phase 2)
Following installation and commissioning of pilot plant upgrades, Amyris will operate the pilot plant to produce comprehensive technical, operating and financial data facilitating conceptual design of a demonstration or commercial scale facility acceptable to DOE.

In addition to developing sweet sorghum pilot scale data, this operations phase will include continuing work with simulated sorghum juice (defined media) and cane-derived feedstreams to maintain reference processes in which the Amyris team has demonstrated consistent performance both in terms of communication and reporting.

Current in-process controls and SOPs will be expanded upon to ensure continued robust data collection and safe operations, leading to enabling data for the design of a US commercial plant using sweet sorghum or other highimpact feedstocks.






Task B.0 Scale-up and economic analysis of Amyris diesel production from sweet sorghum
To complement the pilot plant upgrades and operations in Task 1, Amyris and partners will focus significant effort on process optimization and integration from feedstock to final diesel product finishing processes and waste treatment.

Subtask B.1 Sweet sorghum development, syrup and bagasse production (Phase 1-2)
Amyris's partner will provide both sweet sorghum bagasse and syrup to support integrated processing to Amyris Renewable Diesel. This feedstock partner will manage all aspects of feedstock development and handling including land management, planting within existing agricultural footprints, harvesting, bagasse drying and juice concentration to syrup. They will ship syrup samples to Amyris and will also ship chopped and dried bagasse for lignocellulosic biomass pre-treatment to Amyris's pre-treatment partner.

Subtask B.2 Lignocellulosic pre-treatment development and scale-up (Phase 2)
Following receipt of dried, chopped biomass from sweet sorghum or other feedstocks Amyris's pretreatment partner will undertake three key research and development and scale-up activities. First, they will perform wet chemical compositional analysis of each biomass lot. Second, the partner will undertake parametric pilot-scale pretreatment studies to determine the effect of varying pretreatment conditions on hemi-cellulose conversion yields, enzymatic cellulose digestibility and fermentation performance at Amyris. Third, they will perform pilotscale pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis campaigns to produce concentrated sugar solutions. These sugar streams will be shipped to Amyris for fermentation and downstream process performance testing and scale-up.

Subtask B.3 Fermentation scale-up (Phase 1-2) Utilization of sugar streams from such sources as lignocellulosic bagasse and sweet sorghum syrup, as well as other potential feedstocks will result in significant need for medium optimization. This includes optimization of pre-treatment steps to precipitate undesired species, removal of particulates, and sterilization of the medium, as well as supplementation of trace nutrients needed for cost-effective gains in fermentation yield. Additionally, converting current processes to use syrup and lignocellulosic fermentable sugars will likely require significant changes to pre-fermentation handling of sugar streams as well as to operating conditions for fermentation itself.

Initially Amyris will acquire baseline fermentation process data using sweet sorghum syrup and bagasse sugar streams, along with defined and cane-derived media, in its support labs. Later in the project Amyris will develop sweet sorghum SOPs for comparison to cane-based media performance in terms of product yield and sugar utilization rates. Throughout the project Amyris will test S. cerevisiae yeast strains to monitor relative and absolute performance comparing production from defined, cane-derived and sweet sorghum-based media.

Subtask B.4 Anaerobic digestion development and hydrogen production (Phase 2)
In collaboration with partners, Amyris will develop and optimize an integrated hydrogen production process to utilize residual unfermented C5 sugars from fermentation effluent. This effluent, vinasse, will be exposed to one or two anaerobic digestion conditions for biogas production. Amyris will then lead collaborative efforts to develop and model proper biogas cleanup procedures to ensure effective conversion of methane to hydrogen via steam methane reforming.

Subtask B.5 Recovery, purification and diesel finishing scale-up (Phase 1-2)
Recovery yield and purity indicators will drive scale-up and process optimization for isolation of the waterimmiscible C15 isoprenoid oil phase from fermentation broth aqueous phase and solids components. Various product recovery unit operations will be adapted from defined media and cane syrup-based fermentation recovery processes and tested with sorghum syrup and bagasse sugar-derived media. Amyris





will first focus on developing baseline recovery data from sorghum media relative to defined and cane based fermentations. Later, Amyris will optimize and scale robust recovery processes with sorghum or other feedstocks.

The current base-case chemical finishing process for Amyris Diesel is catalytic hydrogenation of the C15 fermentation intermediate. Product yields are high under current process conditions, and the Amyris team will validate that sweet sorghum utilization in fermentation does not result in degradation of hydrogenation specificity and yield via impurities carried over from recovery. In addition, process engineering expertise will be required to test and ensure that potential impurities identified during biogas clean-up and hydrogen production do not impact final Amyris Diesel quality or cost.

Subtask B.6 TEA and LCA for Amyris Diesel production (Phase 1-2)
Amyris will lead efforts to merge pre-treatment process models with sugar-to-diesel conversion for an
overall TEA of the integrated process for sweet sorghum conversion to Amyris Diesel using Aspen Plus and other software tools. In addition, life cycle analyses (LCA) will be further refined to reflect up-to-date process configuration and conceptual designs for commercial scale production.

Task C.0 Development and scale-up of value-added products from diesel fermentation intermediate
The third task in this project focuses on the use of the C15 isoprenoid fermentation product used for diesel production as a raw material for the synthesis of a number of large-market, high-value chemicals. The work required in this task will be divided into the following sections:

Subtask C.1 Laboratory-scale development and chemical product synthesis (Phase 1-2)
High-volume or high-value market needs that are amenable to solutions using the C15 isoprenoid fermentation product will be identified. Scientific literature searches will be continuously performed to determine prior art for candidate product molecules. If patented, Amyris will evaluate whether these patents and patent applications would pose freedom to operate issues to Amyris. Screening experiments on a small (e.g. grams or less) scale will be used to identify an effective (but not necessarily optimum) synthesis and a full characterization of the product. The initial synthesis may have to be scaled up to tens of grams depending on the sample amounts required for any performance testing. Design and initial synthesis of a target product will be followed by comprehensive product and byproduct characterization and application-related product property testing. In particular, plasticizers are contemplated as a key focus in Phase 2 as high-volume, value-add complements to Amyris Diesel production.

Subtask C.2 Mid-scale synthesis and characterization (Phase 2)
Initial scale-up/optimization will be accomplished by using statistical design of experiments to identify and optimize the important process variables with a minimum number of experiments. This will provide an optimized scaled process for each candidate chemical product that will allow for a preliminary cost assessment, a safety evaluation and a process design that can be the basis of preparing a SOP for technology transfer to the pilot plant. In addition, it will provide large scale samples for more thorough characterization of product properties and sampling to potential customers, for their preliminary application testing, if applicable.

Subtask C.3 Pilot-scale production and chemical process technoeconomics (Phase 2)
Pre-pilot chemical product scale-up support efforts will comprise determining how the process described performs at scale and the collection of engineering data for plant design and process economics. It will also enable the pilotscale in-house manufacture of quantities of product suitable for larger scale customer





sampling. For any unit operations beyond the capabilities of the pilot plant Amyris IBR will rely on specialized contract research organizations offering custom synthesis and scale-up services.

The final phase of new chemical product development would be initiated by a reevaluation of project justification, cost scenarios and market status. These would build upon modeling throughout the project life span that is refined as data becomes available. The final outcome would indicate whether a toll manufacturing option or in house manufacture would be preferable. Either scenario would require preparation of the appropriate engineering data packages, preliminary commercial scale process design and costing and Capital Expenditure/Operating Expenditure assessments to integrate with the Amyris Diesel TEA and LCA performed in Task B.6.

Task D.0 Regulatory and end-user process and product acceptance
The establishment of market readiness for Amyris Diesel and chemical products is an essential component of the IBR project.

Subtask D.1 Fuel product approval and acceptance (Phase 1-2)
Under the scope of this project, registration of higher diesel fuel blend ratios (above the current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration at 20% Amyris Diesel) will be pursued. Amyris will perform contract manufacturing and third-party laboratory testing to validate product properties and determine potential toxicity of chemical substances under EPA test procedures, fuel properties and combustion effects. Additional toxicity data collection will include occupational exposure risk assessment, if necessary.

Subtask D.2 Chemical product approval and acceptance (Phase 1-2)
Chemical registration dossiers for selected products, either as new products or bio-derived product equivalents will be submitted to EPA for pre-manufacture notice and to fulfill the reporting requirements of EPA under the North American Free Trade Agreement Chemical Assessment and Management Program obligations. Amyris will use contract manufacturing for volume production required for product acceptance testing and validation by potential end-users, contract laboratories, and regulatory agencies.

Subtask D.3 Use approvals for genetically modified microbes (Phase 1-2)
During the course of the IBR project Amyris will develop the strategy and data required to submit a microbial commercial activity notice (MCAN) for use of genetically modified microorganisms (GMM) in commercial US production.

Subtask D.4 Commercial production process approvals and acceptance (Phase 1-2)
During the course of the IBR project Amyris will develop and refine the path for commercial process and installation approvals, including any National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), state or local regulations governing chemical manufacturing. Amyris will focus on states such as Hawaii, Florida, California, Louisiana and Alabama as potential sites for early US production from sweet sorghum and other feedstocks.

Task E.0 Project Management and Reporting (Phase 1-2)
Management of the timelines and key decision points will be monitored by Amyris using the Earned Value system using percentage completion of each task as a monthly performance-to-plan metric. A detailed baseline plan will be developed with project partners, and progress will be monitored using task start and finish dates to identify variance, major performance issues, key risks to completion, and to enable more accurate forecasting in later quarters. Linkage between task completion and project expenditures will be accomplished using project based accounting.

6.
COST SHARING

a. Total Estimated Project Cost is the sum of the Federal Government share, including Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) contractor costs, and Recipient share of the estimated project costs. The DOE FFRDC contractor cost is not included in the total approved budget for this award, because DOE will pay the DOE FFRDC contractor portion of the effort under an existing DOE contract. The Recipient is not responsible for reporting on that portion of the total estimated cost that is paid directly to the DOE FFRDC contractor.

The Recipient's cost share must come from non-Federal sources unless otherwise allowed by law. By accepting Federal funds under this award, you agree that you are liable for your percentage share of allowable project costs, on a budget period basis, even if the project is terminated early or is not funded to its completion. This cost is shared as follows:

Budget Period

7.
REBUDGETING AND RECOVERY OF INDIRECT COSTS

a.
If actual allowable indirect costs are less than those budgeted and funded under the award, you may use the difference to pay additional allowable direct costs during the project period. If at the completion of the award the Government's share of total allowable costs (i.e., direct and indirect), is less than the total costs reimbursed, you must refund the difference.

b.
Recipients are expected to manage their indirect costs. DOE will not amend an award solely to provide additional funds for changes in indirect cost rates. DOE recognizes that the inability to obtain full reimbursement for indirect costs means the Recipient must absorb the underrecovery. Such underrecovery may be allocated as part of the organization's required cost sharing .

8.
FINAL INCURRED COST AUDIT

In accordance with 10 CFR 600, DOE reserves the right to initiate a final incurred cost audit on this award. If the audit has not been performed or completed prior to the closeout of the award, DOE retains the right to recover an appropriate amount after fully considering the recommendations on disallowed costs resulting from the final audit.

9.
STATEMENT OF FEDERAL STEWARDSHIP

SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO WORK FUNDED UNDER AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 (May 2009)

Preamble
 
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5, (Recovery Act) was enacted to preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery, assist those most impacted by the recession, provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science and health, invest in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits, stabilize State and local government budgets, in order to minimize and avoid reductions in essential services and counterproductive State and local tax increases. Recipients shall use grant funds in a manner that maximizes job creation and economic benefit.













11





The Recipient shall comply with all terms and conditions in the Recovery Act relating generally to governance, accountability, transparency, data collection and resources as specified in Act itself and as discussed below.
 
Recipients should begin planning activities for their first tier subrecipients, including obtaining a DUNS number (or updating the existing DUNS record), and registering with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR).
 
Be advised that Recovery Act funds can be used in conjunction with other funding as necessary to complete projects, but tracking and reporting must be separate to meet the reporting requirements of the Recovery Act and related guidance. For projects funded by sources other than the Recovery Act, Contractors must keep separate records for Recovery Act funds and to ensure those records comply with the requirements of the Act.
 
The Government has not fully developed the implementing instructions of the Recovery Act, particularly concerning specific procedural requirements for the new reporting requirements. The Recipient will be provided these details as they become available. The Recipient must comply with all requirements of the Act. If the recipient believes there is any inconsistency between ARRA requirements and current award terms and conditions, the issues will be referred to the Contracting Officer for reconciliation.
 
Definitions
 
For purposes of this clause, Covered Funds means funds expended or obligated from appropriations under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5. Covered Funds will have special accounting codes and will be identified as Recovery Act funds in the grant, cooperative agreement or TIA and/or modification using Recovery Act funds. Covered Funds must be reimbursed by September 30, 2015.
 
Non-Federal employer means any employer with respect to covered funds -- the contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or recipient, as the case may be, if the contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or recipient is an employer; and any professional membership organization, certification of other professional body, any agent or licensee of the Federal government, or any person acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer receiving covered funds; or with respect to covered funds received by a State or local government, the State or local government receiving the funds and any contractor or subcontractor receiving the funds and any contractor or subcontractor of the State or local government; and does not mean any department, agency, or other entity of the federal government.
 
Recipient means any entity that receives Recovery Act funds directly from the Federal government (including Recovery Act funds received through grant, loan, or contract) other than an individual and includes a State that receives Recovery Act Funds.









12





Special Provisions
 
A. Flow Down Requirement
 
Recipients must include these special terms and conditions in any subaward.
 
B. Segregation of Costs
 
Recipients must segregate the obligations and expenditures related to funding under the Recovery Act. Financial and accounting systems should be revised as necessary to segregate, track and maintain these funds apart and separate from other revenue streams. No part of the funds from the Recovery Act shall be commingled with any other funds or used for a purpose other than that of making payments for costs allowable for Recovery Act projects.
 
C. Prohibition on Use of Funds

None of the funds provided under this agreement derived from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5, may be used by any State or local government, or any private entity, for any casino or other gambling establishment, aquarium, zoo, golf course, or swimming pool.

D. Access to Records

With respect to each financial assistance agreement awarded utilizing at least some of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5, any representative of an appropriate inspector general appointed under section 3 or 8G of the Inspector General Act of 1988 (5 U.S.C. App.) or of the Comptroller General is authorized --
(1) to examine any records of the contractor or grantee, any of its subcontractors or subgrantees, or any State or local agency administering such contract that pertain to, and involve transactions that relate to, the subcontract, subcontract, grant, or subgrant; and
(2) to interview any officer or employee of the contractor, grantee, subgrantee, or agency regarding such transactions.

E. Publication
 
An application may contain technical data and other data, including trade secrets and/or privileged or confidential information, which the applicant does not want disclosed to the public or used by the Government for any purpose other than the application. To protect such data, the applicant should specifically identify each page including each line or paragraph thereof containing the data to be protected and mark the cover sheet of the application with the following Notice as well as referring to the Notice on each page to which the Notice applies:

Notice of Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data

- gross management of an agency contract or grant relating to covered funds;
- a gross waste of covered funds;
- a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety related to the implementation or use of covered funds;
- an abuse of authority related to the implementation or use of covered funds; or
- as violation of law, rule, or regulation related to an agency contract (including the competition for or negotiation of a contract) or grant, awarded or issued relating to covered funds.

Agency Action: Not later than 30 days after receiving an inspector general report of an alleged reprisal, the head of the agency shall determine whether there is sufficient basis to conclude that the non-Federal employer has subjected the employee to a prohibited reprisal. The agency shall either issue an order denying relief in whole or in part or shall take one or more of the following actions:
- Order the employer to take affirmative action to abate the reprisal.
- Order the employer to reinstate the person to the position that the person held before the reprisal, together with compensation including back pay, compensatory damages, employment benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment that would apply to the person in that position if the reprisal had not been taken.
- Order the employer to pay the employee an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all







14





costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expert witnesses' fees) that were reasonably incurred by the employee for or in connection with, bringing the complaint regarding the reprisal, as determined by the head of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Nonenforceablity of Certain Provisions Waiving Rights and remedies or Requiring Arbitration: Except as provided in a collective bargaining agreement, the rights and remedies provided to aggrieved employees by this section may not be waived by any agreement, policy, form, or condition of employment, including any predispute arbitration agreement.

OMB Circular A-102 is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a102/a102.html.
(b)
For recipients covered by the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and OMB Circular A-133, “Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations,” recipients agree to separately identify the expenditures for Federal awards under the Recovery Act on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) and the Data Collection Form (SF-SAC) required by OMB Circular A-133. OMB Circular A-133 is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a133/a133.html. This shall be accomplished by identifying expenditures for Federal awards made under the Recovery Act separately on the SEFA, and as separate rows under Item 9 of Part III on the SF-SAC by CFDA number, and inclusion of the prefix “ARRA-” in identifying the name of the Federal program on the SEFA and as the first characters in Item 9d of Part III on the SF-SAC.









23





(c)
Recipients agree to separately identify to each subrecipient, and document at the time of subaward and at the time of disbursement of funds, the Federal award number, CFDA number, and amount of Recovery Act funds. When a recipient awards Recovery Act funds for an existing program, the information furnished to subrecipients shall distinguish the subawards of incremental Recovery Act funds from regular subawards under the existing program.
(d)
Recipients agree to require their subrecipients to include on their SEFA information to specifically identify Recovery Act funding similar to the requirements for the recipient SEFA described above. This information is needed to allow the recipient to properly monitor subrecipient expenditure of ARRA funds as well as oversight by the Federal awarding agencies, Offices of Inspector General and the Government Accountability Office.

WAGE RATE REQUIREMENTS UNDER SECTION 1606 OF THE RECOVERY ACT
(a)
Section 1606 of the Recovery Act requires that all laborers and mechanics employed by contractors and subcontractors on projects funded directly by or assisted in whole or in part by and through the Federal Government pursuant to the Recovery Act shall be paid wages at rates not less than those prevailing on projects of a character similar in the locality as determined by the Secretary of Labor in accordance with subchapter IV of chapter 31 of title 40, United States Code.
Pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 14 and the Copeland Act, 40 U.S.C. 3145, the Department of Labor has issued regulations at 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 to implement the Davis-Bacon and related Acts. Regulations in 29 CFR 5.5 instruct agencies concerning application of the standard Davis-Bacon contract clauses set forth in that section. Federal agencies providing grants, cooperative agreements, and loans under the Recovery Act shall ensure that the standard Davis-Bacon contract clauses found in 29 CFR 5.5(a) are incorporated in any resultant covered contracts that are in excess of $2,000 for construction, alteration or repair (including painting and decorating).
(b)
For additional guidance on the wage rate requirements of section 1606, contact your awarding agency. Recipients of grants, cooperative agreements and loans should direct their initial inquiries concerning the application of Davis-Bacon requirements to a particular federally assisted project to the Federal agency funding the project. The Secretary of Labor retains final coverage authority under Reorganization Plan Number 14.

DAVIS BACON ACT AND CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT

If the Recipient determines at any time that any construction, alteration, or repair activity as defined by 29 CFR 5.2(j) ( http://cfr.vlex.com/vid/5-2-definitions-19681309 ) will be performed during the course of the project, the Recipient shall notify the Contracting Officer prior to commencing such work and the following provisions shall apply. A modification to the award which incorporates the appropriate Davis-Bacon wage rate determination(s) will constitute the Contracting Officer's approval to proceed.

Definitions: For purposes of this provision, “Davis Bacon Act and Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act,” the following definitions are applicable:

(1)
“Award” means any grant, cooperative agreement or technology investment agreement made with Recovery Act funds by the Department of Energy (DOE) to a Recipient. Such Award must require compliance with the labor standards clauses and wage rate requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act (DBA) for work performed by all laborers and mechanics employed by Recipients (other than a unit of State or local government whose own employees perform the construction) Subrecipients, Contractors, and subcontractors.

(2)
“Contractor” means an entity that enters into a Contract. For purposes of these clauses, Contractor shall include (as applicable) prime contractors, Recipients, Subrecipients, and Recipients' or Subrecipients' contractors, subcontractors, and lower-tier subcontractors. “Contractor” does not mean a unit of State or local government where construction is performed by its own employees.”

(3)
“Contract” means a contract executed by a Recipient, Subrecipient, prime contractor, or any tier subcontractor for construction, alteration, or repair. It may also mean (as applicable) (i) financial assistance instruments such as grants, cooperative agreements, technology investment agreements, and loans; and, (ii) Sub awards, contracts and subcontracts issued under financial assistance agreements. “Contract” does not mean a financial assistance instrument with a unit of State or local government where construction is performed by its own employees.

(4)
“Contracting Officer” means the DOE official authorized to execute an Award on behalf of DOE and who is responsible for the business management and non-program aspects of the financial assistance process.

(5)
“Recipient” means any entity other than an individual that receives an Award of Federal funds in the form of a grant, cooperative agreement, or technology investment agreement directly from the Federal Government and is financially accountable for the use of any DOE funds or property, and is legally responsible for carrying out the terms and conditions of the program and Award.








25





(6)
“Subaward” means an award of financial assistance in the form of money, or property in lieu of money, made under an award by a Recipient to an eligible Subrecipient or by a Subrecipient to a lower-tier subrecipient. The term includes financial assistance when provided by any legal agreement, even if the agreement is called a contract, but does not include the Recipient's procurement of goods and services to carry out the program nor does it include any form of assistance which is excluded from the definition of “Award” above.

(7)
“Subrecipient” means a non-Federal entity that expends Federal funds received from a Recipient to carry out a Federal program, but does not include an individual that is a beneficiary of such a program.

(a) Davis Bacon Act

(1) Minimum wages.

(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and, without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor and such laborers and mechanics.

Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in § 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein, provided that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the Contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.








26





(ii)
(A) The Contracting Officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the Contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The Contracting Officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met:

(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination;

(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and

(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.

(B) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the Contracting Officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the Contracting Officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the Contracting Officer or will notify the Contracting Officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.

(C) In the event the Contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, and the Contracting Officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the Contracting Officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the Contracting Officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the Contracting Officer or will notify the Contracting Officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.

(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1)(ii)(B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this Contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.











27





(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the Contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the Contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.

(iv) If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the Contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, provided that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the Contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the Contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.

(2) Withholding. The Department of Energy or the Recipient or Subrecipient shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the Contractor under this Contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the Contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the project), all or part of the wages required by the Contract, the Department of Energy, Recipient, or Subrecipient, may, after written notice to the Contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.

(3) Payrolls and basic records.

(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the Contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in









28





providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the Contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.

(ii) (A) The Contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any Contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the Department of Energy if the agency is a party to the Contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit the payrolls to the Recipient or Subrecipient (as applicable), applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Department of Energy. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead, the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee's social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor site. The prime Contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker, and shall provide them upon request to the Department of Energy if the agency is a party to the Contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit them to the Recipient or Subrecipient (as applicable), applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Department of Energy, the Contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring government agency (or the Recipient or Subrecipient (as applicable), applicant, sponsor, or owner).

(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a “Statement of Compliance,” signed by the Contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the Contract and shall certify the following:










29





(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under § 5.5 (a)(3)(ii) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, the appropriate information is being maintained under § 5.5 (a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5, and that such information is correct and complete;

(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the Contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR part 3;

(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the Contract.

(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section.

(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the Contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section 3729 of title 31 of the United States Code.

(iii) The Contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the Department of Energy or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the Contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the Contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.

(4) Apprentices and trainees-

(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State









30





Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the Contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a Contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the Contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.

(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the









31





Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.

(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees, and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended and 29 CFR part 30.

(5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements. The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this Contract.

(6) Contracts and Subcontracts. The Recipient, Subrecipient, the Recipient's, and Subrecipient's contractors and subcontractor shall insert in any Contracts the clauses contained herein in(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the Department of Energy may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The Recipient shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all of the paragraphs in this clause.

(7) Contract termination: debarment. A breach of the Contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the Contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.

(8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this Contract.

(9) Disputes concerning labor standards. Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this Contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this Contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the Recipient, Subrecipient, the Contractor (or any of its subcontractors), and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.










32





(10) Certification of eligibility.

(i) By entering into this Contract, the Contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the Contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).

(ii) No part of this Contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).

(iii) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C. 1001.

(b) Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. As used in this paragraph, the terms laborers and mechanics include watchmen and guards.

(1) Overtime requirements. No Contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the Contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.

(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the Contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such Contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section.

(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The Department of Energy or the Recipient or Subrecipient shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the Contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime Contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such Contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(2) of this section.







33





(4) Contracts and Subcontracts. The Recipient, Subrecipient, and Recipient's and Subrecipient's contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any Contracts, the clauses set forth in paragraph (b)(1) through (4) of this section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The Recipient shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this section.

(5) The Contractor or subcontractor shall maintain payrolls and basic payroll records during the course of the work and shall preserve them for a period of three years from the completion of the Contract for all laborers and mechanics, including guards and watchmen, working on the Contract. Such records shall contain the name and address of each such employee, social security number, correct classifications, hourly rates of wages paid, daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid. The records to be maintained under this paragraph shall be made available by the Contractor or subcontractor for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the Department of Energy and the Department of Labor, and the Contractor or subcontractor will permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job.

(c) Recipient Responsibilities for Davis Bacon Act

If the TENA Shareholder elects to acquire such Shares, then the TENA Shareholder shall have thirty (30) Business Days after the making of such election to consummate the purchase. If such election shall not be made, then Amyris, Inc. may conclude a sale at any time within one hundred twenty (120) days after having provided the TENA Shareholder with the ROFO Notice for a purchase price (net of any liabilities incurred or retained by Amyris, Inc. in connection with such sale) payable on terms that are not more favorable and at a purchase price that is not less than the purchase price set forth in the ROFO Notice.

(c)      If TENA USA shall deliver to Amyris a Buyout Election, to establish the price for the purchase of Amyris’ interest in JVCO for the Operational Phase (the “ Operational JVCO ”), Amyris and TENA USA shall determine the Fair Value of the Operational JVCO in accordance with Section 7.02(f). Within 30 days following the date on which the Fair Value of the Operational JVCO is finally determined in accordance with Section 7.02(f), Amyris shall deliver to TENA USA a written election (“ Deadlock Election ”) indicating either (i) that it elects to sell all of the Preferred Shares and the Share A to TENA USA pursuant to Section 7.02(d), (ii) that it accepts TENA USA’s last position with respect to the funding requirements of the Operational JVCO, and agrees to proceed with the Operational Phase pursuant to Section 7.01 on the basis of such funding amount, or (iii) that it accepts TENA USA’s last position with respect to the funding requirements of the Operational JVCO, agrees to proceed with the Operational Phase pursuant to Section 7.01 on the basis of such funding amount, but that it wishes to sell all or a portion of such Shares to TENA USA pursuant to Section 7.02(e). In the event that Amyris does not deliver such Deadlock Election within 30 days following the date on which the Fair Value of the Operational JVCO is finally determined, then it shall be deemed to have elected to sell all such Shares to TENA USA pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 7.01(c).
(d)      If Amyris elects (or is deemed to have elected) to sell to TENA USA all of the Preferred Shares and the Share A, then Amyris and TENA USA shall select, for consummation of the sale of such Shares to TENA USA, a closing date not later than 60 days (or longer, if any

6210492_25      30



Competition Law so requires) after the delivery of the Deadlock Election (or its deemed delivery). The closing of such transaction shall take place at the principal executive offices of JVCO, which shall be located in the Netherlands. At such closing, (i) TENA USA shall pay, in exchange for 50% of the Preferred Shares, either by dollar-for-dollar offset against the Notes or in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a segregated account of the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (which funds shall promptly be delivered by the Escrow Agent to Amyris in accordance with the Escrow Agreement by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Amyris), an amount equal to (x) in the case of a Go Decision, the amount outstanding under Section 2(c) or Section 2(d), as applicable, under the Notes and (y) in the case of a Jet Go Decision, the amount equal to 30% of the amount outstanding under Section 2(c) or Section 2(d), as applicable, under the Notes; (ii) if the amount set forth in clause (i) above is paid in cash rather than by dollar-for-dollar offset against the Notes, Amyris shall pay to TENA USA the applicable amount set forth in clause (i) above in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds as directed by TENA USA (or the Wholly Owned TENA Affiliate to which TENA USA has Transferred the Share B); (iii) TENA USA shall pay, in exchange for the other 50% of the Preferred Shares, an amount equal to 50% of the Fair Value of the Operational JVCO determined pursuant to Section 7.02(f) (the “ Cash Component of the Purchase Price ”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a segregated account of the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (which funds shall promptly be delivered by the Escrow Agent to Amyris in accordance with the Escrow Agreement by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Amyris); (iv) TENA USA shall pay by euro-for-euro offset against the Class A Note, in exchange for the Share A, the amount outstanding under the Class A Note; (v) all Preferred Shares and the Share A shall be transferred by Amyris (or the Escrow Agent at the instruction of Amyris and TENA USA in accordance with the Escrow Agreement) to TENA USA (which shall be free and clear of Liens, defects and other adverse interests (other than as created by TENA USA or any of its Affiliates)) and, in such case, Amyris shall have no further interest in the Operational JVCO; and (vi) Amyris shall deliver to TENA USA such other documents as, in the mutual agreement of Amyris and TENA USA, are necessary or appropriate to convey to TENA USA such Shares; provided , however , 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 Amyris and TENA USA. Amyris and TENA USA shall cooperate in good faith so that the payments required by this Section 7.02(d) shall be made, to the extent mutually desired by Amyris and TENA USA and in compliance with all applicable accounting rules and tax and other laws, through offsetting accounting entries and dollar-for-dollar offsets against all of the amounts outstanding under the Notes.

Each of Amyris and TENA USA shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to

6210492_25      31



do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws to consummate and make effective any such sale of Shares by Amyris to TENA USA, including 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, Amyris and TENA USA shall, when required in order to effect any such sale, 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.
(c)      If Amyris elects to sell all or a portion of the Preferred Shares and the Share A to TENA USA pursuant to Section 7.02(c)(iii), it shall set forth in its Deadlock Election what percentage of the Operational JVCO that it wishes to sell to TENA USA (the “ Buyout Percentage ”). Amyris and TENA USA shall then proceed with the commencement of the Operational Phase and the contribution of all JV Assets to the Operational JVCO pursuant to Section 7.01; provided , however , that as of the beginning of the Operational Phase the ownership percentage of the Operational JVCO held by Amyris shall be 50% minus the Buyout Percentage and the ownership percentage of the Operational JVCO held by TENA USA shall be 50% plus the Buyout Percentage. The closing of such transaction shall take place at the principal executive offices of JVCO, which shall be located in the Netherlands. At such closing, (i) TENA USA shall pay, in exchange for 50% of the Preferred Shares, either by dollar-for-dollar offset against the Notes or in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a segregated account of the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (which funds shall promptly be delivered by the Escrow Agent to Amyris in accordance with the Escrow Agreement by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Amyris), an amount equal to (x) in the case of a Go Decision, the amount outstanding under Section 2(c) or Section 2(d), as applicable, under the Notes and (y) in the case of a Jet Go Decision, the amount equal to 30% of the amount outstanding under Section 2(c) or Section 2(d), as applicable, under the Notes; (ii) if the amount set forth in clause (i) above is paid in cash rather than by dollar-for-dollar offset against the Notes, Amyris shall pay to TENA USA the applicable amount set forth in clause (i) above in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds as directed by TENA USA (or the Wholly Owned TENA Affiliate to which TENA USA has Transferred the Share B); (iii) TENA USA shall pay, in exchange for the Buyout Percentage of the Preferred Shares, an amount equal to the product of (A) the Fair Value of the Operational JVCO determined pursuant to Section 7.02(f) and (B) the Buyout Percentage by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a segregated account of the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (which funds shall promptly be delivered by the Escrow Agent to Amyris in accordance with the Escrow Agreement by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Amyris), and the Parties shall cooperate to adjust the number of ordinary shares to reflect any fractional Preferred Shares deemed to be created as a result of the Buyout Percentage; (iv) TENA USA shall pay by euro-for-euro offset against the Class A Note, in exchange for the Buyout Percentage of the Share A, the amount outstanding under the Class A Note, and the Parties shall cooperate to adjust the number of ordinary shares to reflect any fractional shares of Share A deemed to be created as a result of the Buyout Percentage; (v) the appropriate number of whole or fractional Preferred Shares and the portion of the Share A shall be transferred by Amyris

6210492_25      32



(or the Escrow Agent at the instruction of Amyris and TENA USA in accordance with the Escrow Agreement) to TENA USA (which shall be free and clear of Liens, defects and other adverse interests (other than as created by TENA USA or any of its Affiliates)); (vi) if still held by the Escrow Agent, the remaining number of whole or fractional Preferred Shares and the remaining portion of the Share A shall be transferred by the Escrow Agent to Amyris pursuant to the Parties’ instruction mentioned in clause (v) above; and (vii) Amyris shall deliver to TENA USA such other documents as, in the mutual agreement of Amyris and TENA USA, are necessary or appropriate to convey to TENA USA such Shares; provided , however , 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 Amyris and TENA USA. Amyris and TENA USA shall cooperate in good faith so that the payments required by this Section 7.02(e) shall be made, to the extent mutually desired by Amyris and TENA USA and in compliance with all applicable accounting rules and tax and other laws, through offsetting accounting entries and dollar-for-dollar offsets against all of the amounts outstanding under the Notes. Promptly upon taking delivery of such Preferred Shares and the Share A, TENA USA will deliver the Class A Note and all or such portion of the issued and outstanding Notes to Amyris ( provided , however , that such obligation to deliver the Class A Note and such Notes shall not constitute a condition subsequent to the effectiveness of any such purchase of the Share A and any Preferred Shares), and the Class A Note and such Notes will be cancelled and extinguished by TENA USA. Amyris’ obligations to fund any capital contributions of the Operational JVCO pursuant to the Initial Plan and Budget shall also be proportionately reduced to match its percentage ownership of the Operational JVCO. Each of Amyris and TENA USA 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 sale of Shares by Amyris to TENA USA, including 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, Amyris and TENA USA shall, when required in order to effect any such sale, 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.
(f)      For purposes of this Agreement, “ Fair Value of the Operational JVCO ” means the aggregate equity value of the Operational JVCO (assuming for the purposes of such determination that all of the actions contemplated by clauses (i), (ii) and (iv)(A) of Section 7.01(b) have occurred) that a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arms’-length transaction to acquire the Operational JVCO, assuming that the Operational 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 TENA USA 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

6210492_25      33



of the Operational JVCO to try to determine the Fair Value of the Operational JVCO. If Amyris and TENA USA are unable to reach a mutual determination of Fair Value of the Operational JVCO within such 20-day period, then each of Amyris and TENA USA shall promptly engage (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 the Operational JVCO (each, an “ Advisor ”), and each such Advisor shall deliver its Advisor’s Report to each of Amyris and TENA USA concurrently within 20 Business Days of its engagement (the “ Opinion Period ”). If the Fair Value of the Operational JVCO determined by an Advisor is presented in such Advisor’s Report as a range of values, then the Fair Value of the Operational JVCO for purposes of such Advisor’s Report shall be deemed to be the arithmetic average of such range. Neither Party may engage any of the Approved Valuation Firms as its Advisor without the prior consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). 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 the Operational JVCO for purposes hereof. If both of the Advisors timely deliver an Advisor’s Report and if the difference between the values submitted by each Advisor equals 10% or less of the higher value, then the Fair Value of the Operational JVCO for purposes hereof shall be deemed to be the arithmetic average of the values submitted by such Advisors. If the difference between the two values is greater than 10% of the higher value, then Amyris and TENA USA shall negotiate in good faith for a period of five Business Days from the expiration of the Opinion Period to try to determine the Fair Value of the Operational JVCO. If, during such period, Amyris and TENA USA cannot agree on the Fair Value of the Operational JVCO, then they shall jointly select a third Advisor that has not been engaged by either Amyris or any of its Affiliates or TENA USA or any of its Affiliates (but only with respect to matters involving the New Energies business of TENA USA’s ultimate parent holding company and any other entity then operating what is currently the New Energies business) in any capacity during the six months preceding such date, which third Advisor may, but shall not be required to be, an Approved Valuation Firm. Such third Advisor shall be required to choose only one of the two previously-submitted values as the Fair Value of the Operational JVCO and shall not be authorized to determine a new, third value. If Amyris and TENA USA 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 Amyris or any of its Affiliates or TENA USA or any of its Affiliates (but only with respect to matters involving the New Energies business of TENA USA’s ultimate parent holding company and any other entity then operating what is currently the New Energies business) in any capacity during the six month period preceding such date, which third Advisor may, but shall not be required to be, an Approved Valuation Firm.

Regardless of the Parties’ agreement in this Section 12.12, the Parties shall also have the right to have recourse to, and shall be bound by the pre-arbitral referee procedure of, the International Chamber of Commerce in accordance with its Rules for a Pre-Arbitral Referee Procedure.
Section 12.13      Counterparts . This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by fax or .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “ Electronic Delivery ”), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party shall raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.
Section 12.14      Specific Performance . The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms

6210492_25      47



hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity, without the necessity of demonstration of the inadequacy of monetary damages.
Section 12.15      Relationship . This Agreement establishes among the Parties an independent relationship. The Parties intend that no partnership or joint venture is created hereby, that no Party will be a partner or joint venturer of any other Party for any purposes, and that this Agreement will not be construed to the contrary, and the Parties will not hold themselves out as being in any such arrangement.
Section 12.16      Cumulative Rights . Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all of the rights and remedies expressly provided to a Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed cumulative, and in addition, to any and all other rights and remedies available to such Party under applicable law, in equity, or by contract.
Section 12.17      Liquidated Damages . Amyris acknowledges that because the Preferred Shares Option Price is subject to a fair market value determination as provided by the Valuation Advisor, and that TENA USA’s rights pursuant to article 9.6 of the Articles of Association are subject to valuation as provided by a third party purchase offer, and that, in each case, TENA USA is permitted to offset the full amounts then outstanding under the Notes against the Preferred Shares Option Price or, as applicable, the price determined in accordance with article 9.6 of the Articles of Association, it is difficult and impractical to ascertain the actual and anticipated damages that TENA USA would suffer by reason of the failure of Amyris to perform any of its obligations with respect to the Purchase Option or TENA USA’s rights pursuant to article 9.6 of the Articles of Association. Consequently, if Amyris breaches any of its material obligations with respect to the Purchase Option or TENA USA’s rights pursuant to article 9.6 of the Articles of Association, Amyris shall pay to TENA USA, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the full obligations outstanding under the Notes at the time of such breach after giving effect to acceleration, and Amyris and TENA USA acknowledge that such damage calculation is a fair and reasonable estimate of the actual and anticipated damages that TENA USA would suffer as a result of such breach; provided , however , that such liquidated damages shall not be duplicative of the obligations outstanding under the Notes or liquidated damages under the Pledge Agreement. If the liquidated damages described above are held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then TENA USA shall have such other rights, remedies and damages as are provided hereby, by applicable law and any other agreements with Amyris, all of which are reserved. Amyris acknowledges that any damages provided hereby are secured by the Pledge Agreement and that TENA USA may, pursuant to applicable law, purchase the collateral granted thereunder and apply such damages to the purchase price thereof. To the extent that TENA USA applies any damages provided hereby toward the purchase price of collateral under the Pledge Agreement, the obligations under the Notes will be deemed repaid in full.
Section 12.18      Attorneys’ and Other Fees and Costs . If any action, proceeding or arbitration is brought by a Party to enforce or interpret this Agreement, the prevailing Party, in addition to all other legal or equitable remedies possessed, shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable

6210492_25      48




attorneys’ fees incurred by reason of such action or proceeding to the extent related to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 12.19      Limitation of Liability . EXCEPT IN CIRCUMSTANCES OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT BY A PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES OR WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF SECTION 6.03, NEITHER PARTY, NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM THE OTHER PARTY ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. FOR CLARITY, ANY DAMAGES FINALLY AND ACTUALLY SUFFERED BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY (WHETHER BY A FINAL JUDGMENT OF A COURT OF LAW, ARBITRATION AWARD OR THROUGH A SETTLEMENT) ARISING OUT OF A CLAIM FOR WHICH THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS INDEMNIFIABLE UNDER SECTION 9.03 SHALL BE DEEMED DIRECT DAMAGES FOR PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION 12.19. NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM THE OTHER PARTY ANY PUNITIVE DAMAGES HEREUNDER.

In such a case, with respect to any Third Party Agreement entered by AMYRIS or its Affiliates after the Effective Date, Company shall only receive such a sublicense if it agrees in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to AMYRIS, to pay any such amounts due for the grant of a sublicense to Company or practice of such a sublicense by Company or its sublicensees (which payments may include milestone payments and/or royalties on product sales), and to otherwise comply with the terms of such Third Party Agreement.
(iii)    In the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) by or against a licensor of intellectual property to AMYRIS under a Third Party Agreement(s) (the “ Third Party Licensor ”),


13



AMYRIS hereby assigns to Company the right to make the election set forth in Section 365(n)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “ 365(n) Election ”) if Third Party Licensor as debtor in possession, or a trustee on its behalf, rejects the Third Party Agreement pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that such 365(n) Election must be made by Company no later than the earlier of (x) seven (7) Business Days after AMYRIS has provided written notice to Company of any rejection of the Third Party Agreement and (y) five (5) Business Days prior to any date set forth in an order of the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over the bankruptcy case of Third Party Licensor as the date by which any such Section 365(n) Election must be made, which deadline shall be provided in writing to Company by AMYRIS within two (2) Business Days after AMYRIS receives written notice of same from such Third Party Licensor (the “ Election Deadline ”). AMYRIS shall not have the right to make the election set forth in Section 365(n)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code prior to (1) the Election Deadline, in the event Company has timely exercised the 365(n) Election, or (2) if AMYRIS fails to timely notify Company of the rejection of such Third Party Agreement, the date by which such Section 365(n) Election must be made. If Company does not make the 365(n) Election on or prior to the Election Deadline, then the right to make the Section 365(n) Election shall automatically re-vest in AMYRIS, in which case AMYRIS shall be free to exercise the 365(n) Election in its discretion.
(iv)    AMYRIS agrees not to terminate or permit termination of the Third Party Agreement containing such license by exercise of an election under Section 365(n)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of Company.

(i)     As used in this Section, “ Third Party Conflict ” is a conflict between (a) a proposed grant of a non-exclusive license to the Company under Section 2.A(i)(d) with respect to a potential Known By-Product or Known By-Product and (b) a written agreement between AMYRIS and a Third Party granting an exclusive license or other exclusive commercial rights (e.g. non-competition) to such Third Party for the applicable potential Known By-Product or Known By-Product for one or more uses, which contractual right is in effect at the time of designation of the applicable By-Product as a Known By-Product, which written agreement either (x) precludes designating such By-Product as a Known By-Product for any uses, or (y) excludes one or more uses from the Company’s non-exclusive license for such Known By-Product(s) for one or more specific uses (including the making of a particular Known By-Product from a non-conflicting By-Product and using such Known By-Product for one or more specific excluded uses). In the event that a Third Party Conflict exists for some but not all uses for a particular Known By Product, the Third Party Conflict shall only apply to these limited uses.
(ii)    As used in this Section, a “ Potential Third Party Conflict ” is a conflict between (a) a proposed grant of a non-exclusive license to the Company under Section 2.A(i)(d) with respect to any potential Known By-Product or Known By-Product, and (b) any arrangement that AMYRIS is negotiating in good faith with a Third Party pursuant to a written term sheet in which AMYRIS has offered to grant an exclusive license or other exclusive commercial rights (e.g. non competition) with regard to any such By-Products for one or more uses, and timely notified the Company pursuant to Section 2.H(iii) below, provided that such term sheet (whether or not binding) either (x) precludes designating such By-Product as a Known By-Product or (y) specifically excludes one or more uses from the Company’s non-exclusive license for such Known By-Product(s) (including the making of a particular Known By-Product from a non-conflicting By-Product and using such Known By-product for one or more specific excluded uses). If there is a Potential Third Party Conflict, the applicable By-Product shall not be designated as Known By-Product (or in the case of a Known By-Product as of the Effective date, shall be suspended unless and until the first to occur of : (a) AMYRIS ceases such negotiations, or (b) AMYRIS has not completed such negotiations with the Third Party with which it was negotiating as of the date of AMYRIS’ notice of the Potential Third Party Conflict within twelve (12) months after such receipt or delivery of notice (the “ Negotiation Period ”). If AMYRIS timely concludes such negotiations and enters a definitive agreement with such Third Party, then the Potential Third Party Conflict with respect such agreement would become a Third Party Conflict. In the event that a Third Party Conflict exists for some but not all uses for a particular Known By Product, the Third Party Conflict shall only apply to these limited uses
(iii)  Within three (3) weeks after the Effective Date, AMYRIS shall notify the Company of all Third Party Conflicts with respect to the Known By-Products identified as of the Effective Date and Total, on the behalf of the Company, may, at its election,


20



initiate the verification process as provided for in Section 2.H.(vii). With respect to Known By-Products identified as of the Effective Date, AMYRIS shall not enter into any term sheet that would conflict with the rights granted to the Company hereunder and/or any exclusive agreement with any Third Party after the Effective Date.
(iv)    During the Term of this Agreement, if (x) AMYRIS in the course of performing the Biofene Development Project or (y) the Company identifies any By-Products that are not then Known By-Products, it shall notify the other Party in writing and identify such By-Product (by chemical structure, if possible, and if not, by some other unambiguous manner of characterization) and prevalence relative to the JV Product. Upon receipt of such notice, such By-Product shall be designated as a Known By-Product (and listed on Exhibit F ) unless, within forty-five (45) days of AMYRIS’ receipt or delivery of such notice, AMYRIS notifies the Company of a Third Party Conflict(s) with respect to such By-Product that prevents such By-Product from being designated as a Known By-Product, in which case such By-Product will not be designated as a Known By-Product, except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.H.
(v) If AMYRIS fails to identify a Third Party Conflict or Potential Third Party Conflict within the applicable time frame set forth above, with respect to (a) a particular potential Known By-Product, then such potential Known By-Product shall be a Known By-Product and automatically be listed on Exhibit F hereto, and (b) a Known By-Product, then any such unidentified Third Party Conflict shall not limit the Company’s non-exclusive license hereunder with regard thereto.
(vi) If at any time a Potential Third Party Conflict and/or a Third Party Conflict, as applicable, that previously existed has, in part or in whole, been reduced or eliminated for one or more Known By-Products or for any By-Product denied designation as a Known By-Product, AMYRIS will within thirty (30) days notify the Company in writing, identifying for each By-Product all remaining limitations on such use, and the list of Third Party Conflict(s) will, with regard to such affected By-Products, be automatically modified accordingly.
(vii)    In the event that Company desires verification of the scope or applicability of any Third Party Conflict with respect to any particular Known By-Product or By-Product denied designation as a Known By-Product, then on or after receipt of notice of the applicable Third Party Conflict, the Company shall notify AMYRIS in writing, and AMYRIS shall make available a copy of all terms of the agreement(s) entered by AMYRIS with Third Parties, which terms give rise to the Third Party Conflict(s) at issue, and any ancillary provisions necessary to fully interpret such Third Party Conflict(s), to a mutually acceptable, conflict-free attorney practicing in the United States at a nationally recognized law firm and who has an college or advanced degree in chemistry for the sole purpose of determining whether AMYRIS has accurately described the scope or applicability of the license grant or other restrictions that comprise the Third Party Conflict(s) with regard to the applicable Known By-Product or By-Product denied designation as a Known By-Product so that the Company can be informed of the information described in the following sentence. Subject to obligations of confidentiality to AMYRIS, such attorney may disclose to the Company, with respect to any particular Known By-Product or By-Product denied


21



designation as a Known By-Product, the scope of the license(s) and applicable restrictions (including, the uses, geographies and time periods) comprising the Third Party Conflict under the applicable Third Party agreement, but not the provisions themselves. The costs of any such determination shall be borne by the Company (or its designee) (or, prior to a Go Decision, by Total).
(viii)    In the event that there are limits on the ability of the Company to commercialize a particular Known By-Product or By-Product denied designation as a Known By-Product due to Third Party agreements previously entered by AMYRIS, at the request of the Company, AMYRIS and the Company shall discuss in good faith structures and, if possible, terms for the commercialization of such Known By-Product or By-Product denied designation as a Known By-Product, consistent with AMYRIS’ existing obligations to Third Parties.
I.     Consequences of Amyris Competitor Control of the Company . If an AMYRIS Competitor owns, directly or indirectly, the majority of the Voting Shares of the Company, then as of the effective date of the acquisition of such majority of Voting Shares of the Company (the “ Transition Date ”), the licenses granted to the Company with respect to (a) AMYRIS Licensed IP, including any AMYRIS Farnesene Production IP, and (b) any Intermediate Strain Technology, shall not include Inventions first made or generated after the Transition Date, or intellectual property rights relating to such Inventions (collectively, the “ Excluded Inventions ”).

At the request of AMYRIS or Company, Company and AMYRIS shall discuss means to cease any such infringement. If AMYRIS fails to commence a proceeding to cease any such infringement within one hundred twenty (120) days of becoming aware of such an infringement, Company shall have the right to commence and control proceedings to cease any such infringement. In each case, the enforcing Party may retain any damages recovered in any such proceeding. In any enforcement proceeding that is the subject of this Section 3.D(ii)(a), Company (and its Affiliates and sublicensees) or AMYRIS, as the case may be, shall join in any such proceeding, at the enforcing Party's request or if required by applicable law, in each case at the enforcing Party’s expense.

For any Subject Third Party Agreement entered into by AMYRIS after the Effective Date that satisfies the criteria above, AMYRIS agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an agreement from the licensor that Company can continue with its sublicense if the license to AMYRIS under the applicable Subject Third Party Agreement is terminated, that Company may approach AMYRIS' licensors under the Subject Third Party Agreements for the limited purpose of obtaining an agreement from such a licensor that Company can continue with it sublicense if the license to AMYRIS under the applicable Subject Third Party Agreement is terminated, and AMYRIS agrees that it shall facilitate such contact, on Company's request, and AMYRIS will not object to such an agreement.

2, provided that the exercise of its retained rights hereunder as set forth in Section 2.A(iv) above shall not be construed as a violation of this clause (iv).
(v)    Company shall not be obligated to pay to AMYRIS any fees of any type (including royalties, milestones, maintenance, sublicense, etc.) beyond any amounts due under Section 2.A(iii) or (vi) or Section 2.B for its use, license, sublicense and/or any other commercial exploitation of the licenses granted Company herein with respect to the AMYRIS Licensed IP.
(vi)    AMYRIS shall promptly inform Company if AMYRIS and/or any of its Affiliates becomes aware of any action, suit, investigation and/or proceeding pending and/or threatened before any arbitrator and/or any governmental authority, in each case, to which AMYRIS or any of its Affiliates is a party, which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Company and/or any of its Affiliates to practice any of the rights granted Company in this Agreement.
(vii)    Until the expiration or termination of the Collaboration Agreement, AMYRIS shall not, without prior notice to Company, enter into any grant or contract that may provide any government or non-for profit entity any rights (e.g., rights provided to the U.S. Government under 35 U.S. 200 et seq. or any similar provisions of foreign law) to any patent application or patents resulting from work done in connection with such grant or contract that would be materially useful in connection with the conduct of the Biofene Development Project or to Manufacture farnesene to make JV Products or to Make and Sell JV Products.
(viii)    AMYRIS shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on any Invention within the AMYRIS Licensed IP owned by AMYRIS or its Affiliates as of the Effective Date or hereafter acquired; provided, however, that AMYRIS and its Affiliates shall not be precluded by this clause (viii) from granting licenses to its Affiliates and Third Parties under the AMYRIS Licensed IP, provided that such licenses do not conflict with the licenses and other rights granted to the Company hereunder. For clarity, nothing in this clause (viii) shall restrict the granting by AMYRIS of (a) licenses with respect to products other than JV Products, (b) licenses outside the Field or (c) licenses within the scope of AMYRIS’ retained rights under Section 2.A(iv).
(ix)    AMYRIS shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate to, use any Known By-Product to Make or Sell any JV Product except in connection with the Brazil Business.

(xi)    In the event that the Company or AMYRIS become aware that Novvi LLC has breached the Amended and Restated NOVVI Side Letter, it shall notify the other providing detailed information. In the event that NOVVI breaches the Amended and


32



Restated NOVVI Side Letter, AMYRIS, upon Company’s written request, agrees to use its best efforts to enforce the Amended and Restated NOVVI Side Letter against NOVVI including, if necessary, promptly commencing legal action against NOVVI to cease such breach and recover damages for such breach.

A.     Confidential Information . Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise provided herein or agreed in writing by the Parties, during the Term and for two (2) years thereafter, each Party shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as permitted in this Agreement, the Collaboration Agreement, or the Related Agreements, any Inventions or other confidential information, including any information relating to any Strain, disclosed to it by the other Party or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “ Confidential Information ” of the disclosing Party). Each Party shall use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect proprietary or confidential information of its own, but in no event less than reasonable care, to ensure that its and its Affiliates’ and sublicensees’ employees, previous employees, agents, consultants and other representatives do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the Confidential Information of the other Party. Each Party shall promptly notify the other upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information. The terms and conditions of this Agreement (but not the existence hereof) shall be the Confidential Information of both Parties. Any Confidential Information disclosed hereunder shall be the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party. The receiving Party is permitted to use such Confidential Information only to the extent permitted in this Agreement, the Collaboration Agreement or the Related Agreements. Any Inventions owned by AMYRIS under this Agreement (including by reference to the Collaboration Agreement in Section 3.A above) shall constitute Confidential Information of AMYRIS. Any Inventions jointly owned by AMYRIS and TOTAL or any Affiliate of TOTAL for purposes of this Agreement shall constitute Confidential Information of AMYRIS. The Parties acknowledge that under the Collaboration Agreement, such jointly owned Inventions and any Inventions solely owned by TOTAL under this Agreement (including by reference to the Collaboration Agreement in Section 3.A above) constitute TOTAL’s Confidential Information (as defined therein) and under the TOTAL License Agreement (as defined in the Company’s Shareholder


35



Agreement) if and when executed may also be considered TOTAL’s Confidential Information (as defined therein).
B.     Exceptions . The obligations of non-disclosure and non-use under Section 6.A shall not apply to any Confidential Information of a disclosing Party if the receiving Party can prove by contemporaneous written documentation or otherwise reasonably demonstrate that such Confidential Information: (1) is at the time of receipt, or thereafter becomes, through no breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party, generally known or publicly available; (2) is known by the receiving Party at the time of receiving such Confidential Information; (3) is hereafter furnished to the receiving Party by a Third Party, which is not, to the receiving Party’s reasonable knowledge, in breach of any confidentiality obligation related to such information; (4) is independently discovered or developed (in the case of the Company, without the practice of the licenses granted hereunder or reference to the AMYRIS Licensed IP or the Confidential Information of AMYRIS, and without use of Confidential Information of AMYRIS under the Collaboration Agreement and without violation of any agreement between AMYRIS and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and TOTAL or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand), (5) is the subject of a written permission to disclose provided by the disclosing Party; or (6) is disclosed pursuant to any ruling of a governmental or regulatory authority or court or by mandatory law, provided that written notice of such ruling is given, as soon as reasonably possible, to the disclosing Party so as to give the disclosing Party an opportunity to intervene and provided further that the receiving Party uses reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that the Confidential Information shall be treated confidentially. In addition, each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:

(vi)    disclosure to its Affiliates, licensees, sublicensees and Subcontractors and their respective representatives, who reasonably need to know such


36



Confidential Information for the purpose of performing the obligations or exercising its license rights as described in this Agreement and internal reporting to its Affiliates, provided, in each case, each Party shall be responsible for ensuring that all such representatives to whom the Confidential Information is disclosed under this Agreement shall keep such information confidential and shall not disclose the same to any unauthorized person; or
(vii)    to underwriters or investors or potential investors or their counsel or accountants in connection with a Monetization (as defined in Section 13.6 of the Collaboration Agreement) or other investment transaction (and to its and their respective Affiliates, Representatives and financing sources); provided, however, that each such Third Party to whom information is disclosed will (a) be subject to obligations of confidentiality substantially similar hereunder, (b) be informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information so disclosed, and (c) agree to hold such Confidential Information subject to the terms thereof; provided, that the disclosure rights shall not apply with respect to the other Party’s intellectual property.
C.     Public Disclosures of Technical Information . If Company seeks to publish any technical information relating to any Strain, the substance of which has not been previously approved by AMYRIS for publication or disclosure, Company shall first provide to AMYRIS the material proposed for disclosure or publication, such as by oral presentation, manuscript or abstract, and AMYRIS shall have the right to review and comment on all such material. Before any such material is submitted for publication, Company shall deliver a complete copy to AMYRIS at least sixty (60) days prior to submitting the material to a publisher or initiating any other disclosure. AMYRIS shall review any such material and give its comments to Company as soon as practicable, but no later than forty-five (45) days after delivery of such material to Company. Company shall not publish any such technical information, the substance of which has not been previously approved by AMYRIS for publication or disclosure, without AMYRIS’ prior written consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For clarity, such consent is not required for disclosures relating to the JV Products to the extent such disclosure does not comprise technical information relating to Strains.
D.     Publicity and Disclosure of this Agreement . A Party that desires to make, or that is required to make pursuant to applicable laws or regulations, any press release or other public disclosure regarding the existence or terms of this Agreement (including the identity of the other Party to this Agreement) shall first consult with the other Party (to the extent such consultation does not violate applicable laws or regulations) with respect to the text and timing of such press release or other public disclosure and shall obtain the other Party’s approval over the text and timing of such release and disclosure prior to the issuance or disclosure thereof (to the extent such approval does not violate applicable laws or regulations). Following the initial press release or other public disclosure announcing the existence or terms of this Agreement (if any), each Party shall be free to disclose, without the other Party’s prior written consent, the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the other Party and those terms of this Agreement which have already been publicly disclosed in accordance herewith.


37



E.     Residuals . Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict any employee or representative of a Party from using general ideas, concepts, practices, learning, or know-how relating to any activities conducted on behalf of the Company (“ General Know-How ”) that are retained in the unaided memory of such employee or representative following performance of the Biofene Development Project and such employee or representative is not aware at the time of use that such information is Confidential Information of the other Party, provided that the foregoing is not intended to grant, and shall not be deemed to grant (i) any right to disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party, or (ii) any license under any Patents of the other Party. The General Know-How shall in no event include any financial, business statistical, or personnel information specific to the other Party. A person’s memory is “unaided” if such person has not intentionally memorized the Confidential Information for the purpose of retaining and subsequently using or disclosing it otherwise than as authorized pursuant to this Agreement.
ARTICLE 7.      TERM AND TERMINATION
A.     Term . The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and remain in effect for fifty (50) years unless there is a No-Go Decision for both JV Products, in which case this Agreement shall automatically terminate as described in 7.B(i) (the “ Term ”).

(i)     No Go Decision . In the case of a No-Go Decision by TOTAL as to both JV Products, this Agreement and licenses granted herein shall automatically terminate immediately.
(ii)     Jet Go Decision . In the case of a Jet Go Decision, JV Product shall include only (a) farnesene or farnesane for use in Jet Product and (b) Farnesane Jet Product and the Field thereafter shall no longer include diesel fuel applications but Farnesane Jet Product shall continue to be a JV Product.

C.     Termination of Agreement .
(i)    The licenses granted to the Company herein shall be irrevocable (other than as specified in Section 7.B or this Section 7.C), provided in the case of a material breach (but only in the case of a material breach) of the relevant license, AMYRIS


38



shall have a right to terminate the applicable license in accordance with the following. If AMYRIS believes any such breach by the Company has occurred, AMYRIS shall within thirty (30) days provide written notice to Company describing the specific alleged material breach. If a material breach is not cured within ninety (90) days of the Company’s receipt of such notice, then AMYRIS may terminate the applicable license with further written notice to Company (A) immediately at the end of such ninety (90) day period, if the Company has not contested the allegation, or (B) if the Company has contested such allegation, only upon a final written determination, if any, of an arbitrator in a proceeding subject to Section 8.B that a material uncured breach has occurred. For clarity, in the case of any dispute between the Parties as to whether any uncured material breach has occurred that would permit AMYRIS to terminate a license or this Agreement, no notice of termination may be given and no such termination shall be effective until the final resolution of a dispute resolution proceeding conducted pursuant to Section 8.B, and such licenses may only be terminated if the arbitrator finally determines a material uncured breach has occurred.
(ii)    In the case of an uncured material breach of Section 2.E(i) or (ii) by the Company, then, except to the extent Section 7.C(iii) below applies, AMYRIS shall have the right to terminate the licenses granted in Section 2.A in their entirety in accordance with the procedure described in Section 7.C (i) above, and in the case of such a license termination, this Agreement shall terminate concurrently.
(iii)    In the case of any uncured material breach by the Company based on the use of any Intermediate Strain or any other Strain that is a genetic manipulation or modification of any Intermediate Strain (other than any Commercial Farnesene Strain(s)) outside the scope of the limited license in Section 2.A(i)(b), then in accordance with the procedure described in clause 7.C (i) above, AMYRIS shall have the right to terminate the license granted in Section 2.A(i)(b) and all other rights of Company permitting its development and use of Intermediate Strains, including Company’s right to release of the Escrowed Materials relating to the Intermediate Strains) as described in clause (i) above but AMYRIS may not otherwise terminate any provision of this Agreement or this Agreement in its entirety.
(iv)    For purposes of determining whether a material breach that would trigger a right of termination under Section 7.C has occurred, any Affiliate of the Company shall be treated as if it was the Company.
(v)    Except as expressly provided in this Section 7.C(v), no acts or omissions of any Subcontractor or sublicensee of the Company shall be the basis of any termination of this Agreement. In the event that any Subcontractor or sublicensee of Company violates Section 2.E(i) or Section 2.E(ii)(a) or (b), then such violation may provide a basis for a material breach and termination of this Agreement under clause 7.C(ii) above, but only if the Company fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach, which efforts may include terminating its agreement with such Subcontractor or sublicensee and initiating and continuing to pursue appropriate legal action to stop such unauthorized activity. In the event that a sublicensee or Subcontractor of Company uses any Intermediate Strain in a manner that exceeds the scope of or violates the restrictions on


39



the exercise of the license in Section 2.A(i)(b), then in accordance with the procedure described in Section 7.C (i) above, AMYRIS shall have the right to terminate the license in Section 2.A(i)(b) pursuant to Section 7.C(iii) and Company’s related rights in respect of Intermediate Strains but only if the Company is not using commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach, which efforts may include terminating its agreement with Affiliate, sublicensee or subcontractor pertaining to the Intermediate Strain(s) and initiating and continuing to pursue appropriate legal action to stop such unauthorized activity.
D.     Conversion to Non-Exclusive License . In the event of the expiration of this Agreement at the end of the Term, the Company shall retain a perpetual, non-exclusive (subject to Section 2.A(iv)), royalty-free (subject to Section 2.A(iii) and (vi) and Section 2.B) right and license under the AMYRIS Licensed IP, in each case that is necessary or, in the case of the AMYRIS Farnesene Production IP, useful to Make and Sell JV Products within the Territory.
E.     Effects of Termination .
1.     Strains; Return or Destruction of Confidential Information . Except as provided in Section 7.D, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement and/or the licenses granted herein, as applicable, Company shall immediately cease and cause its Affiliates, sublicensees and Subcontractors to cease use of any AMYRIS Licensed IP, Intermediate Strain Technology and all Company Strains (or in the case of a termination under Section 7.C(iii), the Intermediate Strains and any Strains derived therefrom) and within ninety (90) days following a written request from the other Party, each receiving Party shall at the disclosing Party’s discretion, promptly destroy or return to the disclosing Party (a) all written copies of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is marked confidential and (b) all biological materials (including all Company Strains), in each case (a) and (b) to which the receiving Party does not retain rights hereunder, except that the receiving Party may retain such Confidential Information or materials, to the extent that the receiving Party requires such Confidential Information or materials for the purpose of performing any obligations under this Agreement that may survive such expiration or termination, or with respect to Confidential Information only for archival purposes or for information contained in management reports. In the case of (i) a Jet Go Decision, the foregoing obligations in this Section 7.E(1) shall apply with respect to Inventions, Confidential Information and, if applicable, Company Strains relating solely to the Diesel Product and not the Jet Product and (ii) a Jet Go Decision followed by expiration or termination of this Agreement, the foregoing obligations in this Section 7.E(1) shall apply with respect to all Inventions, Confidential Information and, if applicable, Company Strains.
2.     Rights in Bankruptcy . All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement to the Company are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code. Company, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. Upon the filing of a case by or against AMYRIS or any AMYRIS Affiliate (the “Bankrupt Entity”), including


40



without limitation, AMYRIS Fuels LLC, AB Technologies LLC, and/or AMYRIS Brasil Ltda. (each of such Affiliates, a “Co-Licensor”) under the Bankruptcy Code, then (a) Company shall be entitled to the fullest protections conferred upon licensees under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar provision; (b) AMYRIS and each Co-Licensor shall perform all of its obligations under this Agreement; (c) the Bankrupt Entity shall immediately, without the need for any further request by Company, or notice or hearing, provide to Company a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property (which embodiments, throughout this Agreement, shall include without limitation, the Escrowed Materials), or any other information necessary or desirable for Company to utilize such intellectual property; and (d) AMYRIS and each Co-Licensor shall not interfere with the rights of Company as provided in this Agreement, or in any agreement supplementary to this Agreement, to such intellectual property (including such embodiment), including any right to obtain such intellectual property (and such embodiment) from another entity or person. To the extent AMYRIS and/or a Co-Licensor rejects this Agreement under the Bankruptcy Code and Company elects to retain its rights, (x) Company shall have the full rights provided to it under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code; (y) the waivers under Section 365(n)(2)(C) shall apply only to rights of setoff and administrative claims arising solely out of this Agreement, and not to any other agreements or instruments, including, without limitation, claims or rights arising out of agreements supplementary to this Agreement; and (z) the Bankrupt Entity shall, without need for notice or hearing, provide to Company any intellectual property (including such embodiment) held by AMYRIS and/or each Co-licensor and/or any other entity or person, and shall not interfere with the rights of Company as provided in this Agreement, or any agreement supplementary to this Agreement, to such intellectual property (including such embodiment) including any right to obtain such intellectual property (and such embodiment) from another entity or person. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “embodiment” shall mean any and all materials required to be delivered by AMYRIS or a Co-Licensor to Company hereunder and any materials relating to the licenses granted hereunder which, in the course of dealing between the Parties under this Agreement, are customarily delivered, in whatever format (whether electronic, written or otherwise). All written agreements entered into relating to and in connection with the Parties’ performance hereunder from time-to-time, shall be considered agreements “supplementary” to this Agreement for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. AMYRIS and each Co-Licensor acknowledges and agrees that the rights of Company to such intellectual property (and such embodiments) are unique, and that to the extent AMYRIS or a Co-Licensor, or their respective trustees in bankruptcy, were to sell any portion of such intellectual property free and clear of liens, claims or interests, Company would suffer irreparable damages, such that AMYRIS and each Co-Licensor agrees that such sale shall not occur without Company’s express written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, “intellectual property,” as used in this Section 7.E.2, is limited to intellectual property included in the AMYRIS Licensed IP and the Intermediate Strain Technology, and any tangible embodiments of such intellectual property, and includes all such intellectual property and tangible embodiments of such intellectual property (provided in the case of the Intermediate Strain Technology, only to the extent, and for the uses and period, described in Section 2.A.(i)(b)).

3.     Accrued Rights . Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party from any liability or obligation that already has accrued prior to such expiration or termination, nor affect the survival of any provision hereof to the extent it is expressly stated to survive such termination. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not constitute a waiver or release of, or otherwise be deemed to prejudice or adversely affect, any rights, remedies or claims, whether for damages or otherwise, that a Party may have hereunder or that may arise out of or in connection with such termination or expiration.

Except as provided in Section 8.B or 8.D, if any Dispute arises between the Parties under this Agreement, such Dispute shall be referred to the Executive Officers for further discussion and resolution. The Executive Officers shall attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute referred to it pursuant to this Section 8.A within ten (10) days after such referral by meeting (either in person or by video teleconference, unless otherwise mutually agreed) at a mutually acceptable time, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute has not been resolved within twenty (20) days thereafter and the Dispute does not consist of a failure by the Parties to reach agreement where one or both Parties have discretion whether to agree, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, elect to initiate arbitration pursuant to Section 8.B for purposes of having the Dispute and any related Disputes resolved. If an Executive Officer intends to be accompanied at a meeting by an attorney, the other Executive Officer shall be given at least forty-eight (48) hours’ notice of such intention and may also be accompanied by an attorney. All negotiations


42



conducted pursuant to Section 8.B, and all documents and information exchanged by the Parties in furtherance of such negotiations, (i) are the Confidential Information of the Parties, (ii) shall be treated as evidence of compromise and settlement for purposes of the United States Federal Rules of Evidence and any other applicable state or national rules of evidence or procedure, and (iii) shall be inadmissible in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 8 or other proceeding with respect to a Dispute.
B.     Arbitration . Except for Disputes that are subject to Sections 8.C, D or E, all Disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement that cannot be resolved by the Executive Officers pursuant to Section 8.A shall be finally settled as follows:
(i)    Except for Disputes that are subject to Section 8.C, D or E, all Disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement that cannot be resolved by the Executive Officers pursuant to Section 8.A, shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ ICC Rules ”) by an arbitration tribunal appointed in accordance with the said ICC Rules as modified hereby.
(ii)    There shall be three (3) arbitrators, one selected by the initiating Party in the request for arbitration, the second selected by the other Party within twenty (20) days of receipt of the request for arbitration, and the third (who shall act as chairperson of the arbitration tribunal) selected by the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators within twenty (20) days of the selection of the second arbitrator. In the event that the respondent fails to select an arbitrator, or if the two Party-appointed arbitrators are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the international Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce shall designate the remaining arbitrator(s) required to comprise the tribunal. The claimant in the arbitration shall provide a copy of the request for arbitration to the respondent at the time such request is submitted to the Secretariat of the International Chamber of Commerce.
(iii)    Each arbitrator chosen under this Section shall speak, read, and write English fluently and shall be either (a) a practicing lawyer who has specialized in business litigation with at least ten (10) years of experience in a law firm of over fifty (50) lawyers or (b) a retired judge of a court of general jurisdiction.
(iv)    The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The language of the arbitral proceedings and of all submissions and written evidence shall be English; provided, however, that a Party, at its expense, may provide for translation or simultaneous interpretation into a language other than English.
(v)    The arbitrators shall issue an award within nine (9) months of the submission of the request for arbitration. This time limit may be extended by agreement of the Parties or by the tribunal if necessary.
(vi)    It is expressly understood and agreed by the Parties that the rulings and award of the tribunal shall be conclusive on the Parties, their successors and permitted assigns. Judgment on the award rendered by the tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.


43



(vii)    Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses and attorneys' fees, and the Party that does not prevail in the arbitration proceeding shall pay the arbitrator's fees and any administrative fees of arbitration. All proceedings and decisions of the tribunal shall be deemed Confidential Information of each of the Parties, and shall be subject to Article 6.
For clarity, any disputes between the Parties regarding the deposit of Escrowed Materials or access to any Escrowed Materials shall not be required to be resolved via arbitration, and either Party may seek equitable relief for such dispute, including without limitation, specific performance, pursuant to Section 8.D.
C.     Patent Validity and Infringement Disputes . In the event that a Dispute arises with respect to the inventorship, scope, validity, enforceability, revocation or infringement of a Patent, and such Dispute cannot be resolved by the Executive Officers in accordance with Section 8.A, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, such Dispute shall not be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 8.B, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the sole forum to resolve such Dispute shall be to initiate litigation in a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction in the country of issuance of the Patent that is the subject of the Dispute.
D.     Equitable Relief . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, either Party may at any time seek to obtain equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to an issue arising under this Agreement if the rights of such Party would be prejudiced absent such relief.
E.     Disputes Subject to Section 2.A(iii) . In the event of any disagreement between the Parties (or their successors) regarding the terms on which any Inventions subject to Section 2.A(iii) shall be licensed to Company, then at the request of Company (or its successor), such dispute be resolved by a single arbitrator agreed by the Parties or if the Parties are unable to agree within thirty (30) days of Company’s request, selected by the head of the New York office of the International Chamber of Commerce. Such arbitrator shall have expertise in the licensing of biotechnology intellectual property for industrial applications. Each Party shall submit to the arbitrator a written brief of its position regarding the license terms, which submission (including supporting documentation) shall not exceed 50 pages. The arbitrator shall select the position of one of the Parties, in its entirety, as his or her decision, and shall have no authority to vary any of the terms of the prevailing proposal. The Parties shall equally share the costs of such arbitration. Any such arbitration shall be completed within 120 days of selection of the arbitrator.
F.     Attorney’s Fees . If any action, proceeding or arbitration is brought by a Party to enforce or interpret this Agreement, the prevailing Party, in addition to all other legal or equitable remedies possessed, shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by reason of such action or proceeding to the extent related to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 9.      MISCELLANEOUS
A.     Governing Law . This Agreement and any arbitration hereunder shall be governed by, interpreted and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles thereof.
B.     Entire Agreement; Modification . This Agreement, together with the Company’s Articles of Association until the Buy-Out Closing, and the Related Agreements to which both AMYRIS and Company are parties, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof . No warranty, representation, inducement, promise, understanding or condition not set forth in this Agreement has been made or relied upon by either Party with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No rights or licenses with respect to any intellectual property right of either Party are granted or deemed granted hereunder or in connection herewith, other than those rights expressly granted in this Agreement. This Agreement may only be modified or supplemented in a writing expressly stated for such purpose and signed by the Parties to this Agreement. For clarity, the Collaboration Agreement remains in full force and effect.
C.     Relationship . This Agreement establishes between the Parties an independent relationship. While this Agreement is entered into as part of the Related Agreements relating to the establishment of Company and its operations, the Parties intend that no partnership or joint venture is created hereby between Company and AMYRIS, that neither Party will be a partner or joint venturer of the other Party for any purposes, and that this Agreement will not be construed to the contrary.
D.     Non-Waiver . Either Party may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other Party pursuant hereto, or (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other Party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Parties. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition, of this Agreement. The failure of either Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights. Any extension of time or other indulgence granted to a Party hereunder shall not otherwise alter or affect any power, remedy or right of the other Party or the obligations of the Party to whom such extension or indulgence is granted.
E.     Assignment . This Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without the express written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may assign its rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement without the written consent of the other Party to any of its Affiliates ; provided, that (i) such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) Company may not assign this Agreement to any AMYRIS Competitor without the written consent of AMYRIS. In the event of any Buy-


45



Out Closing, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall thereafter (a) be assignable by Company to an AMYRIS Competitor that is an Affiliate of TOTAL without the consent of AMYRIS; and (b) be assignable by AMYRIS to a Third Party in connection with a Change of Control of AMYRIS. Any purported assignment not specifically described above shall be null and void, without the express written agreement of both Parties hereto.
F.     Severability . If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any applicable law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. Upon determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner.
G.     Notices . Any notice to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and delivered either in person by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid) requiring return receipt, or by overnight courier or facsimile confirmed thereafter by any of the foregoing, to the Party to be notified at its address(es) given below, or at any address such Party has previously designated by prior written notice to the other. Notice shall be deemed sufficiently given for all purposes upon the earliest of (a) the date of actual receipt; (b) if mailed, three (3) days after the date of postmark; or (c) if delivered by overnight courier, the next business day the overnight courier regularly makes deliveries.

J.     Export Control . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all obligations of the Parties are subject to prior compliance with export regulations applicable to each Party and such other related laws and regulations as may be applicable to each Party, and to obtaining all necessary approvals required by the applicable government entity.

47



genders and the neuter.
(iii)     Including as Example . Use of the term “including” or “include” in this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean “including, without limitation,” or “include, but not limited to,” and shall be exemplary rather than restrictive.

(v)     Days . All references to days in this Agreement mean calendar days, unless otherwise specified.

M.     Further Assurances .

N.     License Registrations . Company may, at its expense, register the exclusive licenses granted under this Agreement in any country of, or community or association of countries in, the Territory.

No such "short form" license shall be deemed to amend or be used to interpret this Agreement. If there is any conflict between such a license or other recordation document and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.
O.     Counterparts . This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party, it being understood that both Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by electronic delivery,


48



shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. Neither Party shall raise the use of electronic delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of electronic delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

Schedule 4.C(ix)


A Notice of Opposition was filed by Maiwald Patentanwalts GMBH on February 21, 2013 against European Patent EP1778831 granted on May 23, 2012.






Exhibit A
Brazil Business terms
(copy of Article 4 of Amended and Restated Master Framework Agreement)

4.1 Rights to Conduct the Brazil Business .
(i)      The “ Brazil Business ” shall mean production and commercialization of Farnesane Diesel Products and Farnesane Jet Products within Brazil for commercialization solely in Brazil. The Brazil Business shall include the right to produce Farnesane Diesel Products and Farnesane 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).
(ii)      The parties acknowledge that it would be desirable for the Brazil Business to be conducted by a single entity. Accordingly, (i) if the Brazil Business is contributed to JVCO pursuant to Section 4.3, then JVCO shall be entitled to conduct the Brazil Business exclusively and independently of Amyris and Total; and (ii) if the Brazil Business is acquired by Total pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.4, Total shall be entitled to conduct the Brazil Business exclusively and independently of Amyris and JVCO. If the Brazil Business is not contributed to JVCO or acquired by 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 occurrence of a Go Decision or a Jet Go Decision, Amyris agrees to provide Total and JVCO with complete and accurate information to allow each Advisor, Total and/or JVCO, as applicable, 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 each Advisor, 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 they may reasonably request. In the event that Total shall make a Jet Go Decision, Amyris and Total shall work together in good faith to evaluate the feasibility of restructuring 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.
4.2 Sale of Brazil Business to Total Prior to Final Go Decision Date .

A-1



(iii)      If, prior to the Final Go Decision Date, Total acquires all of the common and preferred equity interests in JVCO other than pursuant to an Amyris Change of Control, then Total shall have an option to acquire the Brazil Business at the Brazil Business Fair Market Value. To exercise this option, Total shall deliver written notice to Amyris within 90 days following its acquisition of all of the common and preferred equity interests in JVCO that it intends to commence the process of establishing the Brazil Business Fair Market Value and shall deliver written notice to Amyris of its exercise of such option within 30 days following the determination of the Brazil Business Fair Market Value. If Total has exercised such option, then within 60 days following the delivery of such notice to Amyris (i) Total shall pay to Amyris, by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by Amyris, an amount equal to the Brazil Business Fair Market Value; and (ii) Amyris will sell the Brazil Business to Total, which sale shall be effected by such documents as, in the reasonable opinion of Total, are necessary or appropriate to convey the Brazil Business to Total; provided , that Amyris shall be required to provide customary representations and warranties agreed to by the parties for this kind of transaction, including, without limitation, 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 Total pursuant to this Section 4.2, 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, 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.
(iv)      The “ Brazil Business Fair Market Value ” shall mean the amount, determined as of the date that Total acquires all of the common and preferred equity interests in JVCO, equal to the fair market value that a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arms’-length transaction to acquire the Brazil Business, assuming that the Brazil Business 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, as determined by the relevant Advisor in accordance with Section 4.2(c).
(v)      Amyris and Total shall negotiate in good faith for a period of 20 days from the date of the notice from Total to Amyris of its intention to acquire the Brazil Business to try to determine the Brazil Business Fair Market Value. If Amyris and Total are unable to reach a mutual determination of the Brazil Business Fair Market Value within such 20-day period, then each of Amyris and Total shall promptly engage (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

A-2




investment bank) with substantial experience in valuing companies with a size, organization, and assets similar to that of the Brazil Business (each, an “ Advisor ”), and each such Advisor shall deliver a written opinion as to its determination of the Brazil Business Fair Market Value (each, an “ Advisor’s Report ”) to each of Amyris and Total concurrently within 20 Business Days of its engagement (the “ Opinion Period ”). If the Brazil Business Fair Market Value determined by an Advisor is presented in such Advisor’s Report as a range of values, then the Brazil Business Fair Market Value 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 Brazil Business Fair Market Value for purposes hereof. If both of the Advisors timely deliver an Advisor’s Report and if the difference between the values submitted by each Advisor equals 10% or less of the higher value, then the Brazil Business Fair Market Value for purposes hereof shall be deemed to be the arithmetic average of the values submitted by such Advisors. If the difference between the two values is greater than 10% of the higher value, then Amyris and Total shall negotiate in good faith for a period of five Business Days from the expiration of the Opinion Period to try to determine the Brazil Business Fair Market Value. If, during such period, Amyris and Total cannot agree on the Brazil Business Fair Market Value, then they shall jointly select a third Advisor that has not been engaged by either Amyris or any of its Affiliates or Total or any of its Affiliates (but only with respect to matters involving the New Energies business of Total’s ultimate parent holding company and any other entity then operating what is currently the New Energies business) in any capacity during the six months preceding such date, which third Advisor may, but shall not be required to be, an Approved Valuation Firm. Such third Advisor shall be required to choose only one of the two previously-submitted values as the Brazil Business Fair Market Value and shall not be authorized to determine a new, third value. If Amyris and Total 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 Amyris or any of its Affiliates or Total or any of its Affiliates (but only with respect to matters involving the New Energies business of Total’s ultimate parent holding company and any other entity then operating what is currently the New Energies business) in any capacity during the six month period preceding such date, which third Advisor may, but shall not be required to be, an Approved Valuation Firm. Neither Amyris nor Total (or any Affiliate or representative of either Amyris or Total) shall communicate unilaterally with the third Advisor. The third Advisor will be instructed to deliver to Amyris and Total concurrently, within 15 Business Days of its engagement, an Advisor’s Report selecting which of the two values submitted by the original two Advisors better approximates the Brazil Business Fair Market Value. The value chosen by the third Advisor shall then be deemed to be the Brazil Business Fair Market Value and will be non-appealable, final and binding on the parties for purposes hereof. Amyris and Total covenant to provide the Advisors with complete and accurate information to allow the Advisors to accurately and independently estimate the Brazil Business Fair Market Value. The Advisors shall, in determining the Brazil Business Fair Market Value, consider all material information resulting from such diligence and access, subject to the definition of “Brazil Business Fair Market Value” set forth herein. Each of Amyris and Total 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

A-3



reasonable efforts to assist in the determination of the Brazil Business Fair Market Value, including providing any information reasonably required for such purpose.
1.3      Contribution of Brazil Business to JVCO Following Final Go Decision Date .
(vi)      If promptly following the Final Go Decision Date Amyris shall own 50% of the capital stock of JVCO, then if Total delivers written notice to Amyris within 90 days following the Final Go Decision Date that JVCO shall acquire the Brazil Business, the parties shall determine the Ground Floor Price pursuant to Section 4.3(b). If promptly following the Final Go Decision Date Amyris shall own less than 50% of the capital stock of JVCO, then if Total delivers written notice to Amyris within 90 days following the Final Go Decision Date that JVCO shall acquire the Brazil Business, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a fair sale price for the Brazil Business (the “ Brazil Business Sale Price ”). Within 60 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.

fully and completely as though the Secured Party were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes, in all cases in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the limitations set forth in (including with respect to voting rights), this deed.       
Nothing in this article 2.9 requires or obligates the Secured Party to take any action with respect to the Collateral or the monies due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Secured Party with respect to the Collateral in accordance with this deed gives rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of the Grantor or to any claim or action against the Secured Party. The provisions of this article 2.9 do not relieve the Grantor of its obligations under this deed or impose any obligation on the Secured Party to proceed in any particular manner, or in any way limit the exercise by the Secured Party of any other or further right it may have, whether under this deed, the other Transaction Documents, the Organizational Documents, by law or otherwise. The appointment of the Secured Party as the Grantor’s attorney-in-fact for the purposes set forth in this article 2.9 is a presently effective appointment, is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the termination of the agreement laid down in this deed pursuant to article 6.12.       
2.10
Authorization and ratification of financing statements       
The Grantor authorizes the Secured Party to file all financing statements and other documents to maintain a perfected security interest in the Collateral.

Remedies generally       
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may:       

A17046371                                 Linklaters LLP

12



(a)
exercise those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including the laws of the Netherlands) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;       
(b)
to the extent permitted by applicable law, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral at public or private sales and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or disposition;       
(c)
to the extent permitted by applicable law, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Interests, exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, exercise all rights (other than voting rights) as a holder with respect thereto, including exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Pledged Interests, and otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Interests as though the Secured Party was the absolute owner thereof;       
(d)
to the extent permitted by applicable law, revoke by written notice to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Company and the Grantor) the authorization granted under article 2.5 and, after such authorization is revoked or if an Insolvency Proceeding has occurred, collect and receive all Dividends and other distributions made on any Pledged Interests and exercise any other right with respect to Dividends, in each case to the exclusion of the Grantor;       
(e)
exercise the Grantor’s rights and remedies (i) against the Escrow Agent or (ii) with respect to the Class A Share or the Preferred Shares under the Escrow Agreement or the Transfer Deed in each case as necessary or desireable to obtain the release of the Pledged Interests or any Dividends, including all reversionary rights to the Pledged Interests; and       
(f)
exercise those other rights and remedies of the Secured Party provided in this deed, any other Transaction Document or any Organizational Documents.       
5.2
Dispositions       
(a)
Subject to article 5.2(g), any Collateral to be sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to article 5.1 may be sold or disposed of in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice (other than as required by law) and may take place at the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere) upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any sale or disposition of Collateral may be made without the Secured Party giving warranties of any kind with respect to such sale or disposition and the Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like.       
(b)
The Secured Party may comply with any applicable state, federal or other applicable law requirements in connection with a sale or disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale or disposition. If any notice of a proposed sale or disposition of the Collateral is required by law, such notice is

A17046371                                 Linklaters LLP

13


deemed commercially reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or disposition. The Secured Party is not required to notify any Person (other than as required by law) who has a limited right in relation to, or has a Lien on, any Collateral of any proposed or completed sale or disposition of Collateral and only the Secured Party has the right referred to in Section 3:251, subsection 1, of the Dutch Civil Code to make an application to the court for a different method of sale or disposition of Collateral.       
(c)
The Secured Party has the right upon any public sale of Collateral and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any such private sale of Collateral, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold or disposed of free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby waives. Upon any sale or disposition of Collateral, the Secured Party has the right to deliver and transfer to the purchaser or transferee thereof the Collateral so sold or disposed of.       
(d)
Until the Secured Party is able to effect a sale or disposition of the Collateral, the Secured Party has the right to hold or use the Collateral, or any part thereof, for any purpose deemed appropriate by the Secured Party in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Transaction Documents and the Organizational Documents and applicable law.       
(e)
The Grantor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof. The Grantor acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale is not deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Secured Party is under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Grantor or the Company to register Pledged Interests for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable federal, state or other applicable securities laws.       
(f)
The Secured Party shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this article 5.2, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Party hereunder, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Secured Party may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law need the Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor or such other Person as a court of competent jurisdiction directs.       
(g)
Notwithstanding anything in article 5.1 or this article 5.2 to the contrary, (i) the Secured Party may not exercise its rights and remedies under this deed, including its right to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, unless the Grantor has breached any of its obligations with respect to the Purchase Option or the Right of First Offer, and (ii) the Secured Party will not directly or

A17046371                                 Linklaters LLP

14


indirectly purchase or otherwise acquire the Collateral pursuant to the Purchase Option, this article 5.2 or through liquidated damages pursuant to article 6.2 or section 12.18 of the Shareholders Agreement for an amount less than the sum of the Class A Loan Amount plus the Preferred Shares Option Price (as such terms are defined in the Articles of Association), in each case, it being understood that such price shall be subject to satisfaction by dollar-for-dollar or euro-for-euro offset, or credit bid, as the case may be, up to the amount then outstanding under the Convertible Notes and the Class A Note, after giving effect to acceleration. Promptly following the closing of its purchase, sale or other disposition of the entirety of the Collateral pursuant to article 5.1 (it being understood that the Secured Party may have acquired the Class A Share prior to completion of its acquisition of the balance of the Collateral), the Secured Party will deliver the Class A Note and all of the issued and outstanding Convertible Notes to the Grantor (provided, that such obligation to deliver the Class A Note and the Convertible Notes shall not constitute a condition subsequent to the effectiveness of such purchase, sale
or other disposition), and the Class A Note and such Convertible Notes will be cancelled and extinguished by the Secured Party. The Secured Party’s compliance with the terms of this article 5.2(g) are deemed commercially reasonable.       
5.3
Grantor’s obligations upon default       
Upon the request of the Secured Party after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Grantor shall:       
(a)
assemble and make available to the Secured Party all books and records relating to the Collateral as specified by the Secured Party to the extent not otherwise in the possession or control of the Secured Party; and       
(b)
hold all Dividends and other distributions made on any Pledged Interests it receives in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, segregated from the other property or funds of the Grantor, and promptly deliver such Dividends and other distributions to the Secured Party as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).       
5.4
Remedies cumulative and waiver       
The rights and remedies of the Parties under this deed are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. Notwithstanding anything in this deed to the contrary (except as provided in article 5.2(g)), the Secured Party is not required to (a) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against, the Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof or (b) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder, except to the extent that such claims, damages or demands are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party. To the

A17046371                                 Linklaters LLP

15



maximum extent permitted by applicable law that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantor shall not plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force to prevent or delay the enforcement of this deed, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and the Grantor waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so. The Grantor shall not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Secured Party provided in this deed or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.       
6
Miscellaneous       
6.1
Waiver of automatic stay       
In the event that an Insolvency Proceeding occurs, the Secured Party is entitled to relief from any automatic stay imposed by section 362 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, to allow the Secured Party to exercise its rights and remedies under this deed, and as otherwise provided by law, including taking possession of the Collateral, foreclosing its lien, or otherwise exercising its remedies with respect to the Collateral. In such event, the Grantor unconditionally and irrevocably waives the benefit of such automatic stay and shall not, in any manner, oppose or otherwise delay any motion filed by the Secured Party for relief from the automatic stay. The Secured Party’s enforcement of the right granted herein for relief from the automatic stay is subject to the approval of the bankruptcy court in which the case is then pending.       
6.2
Liquidated damages       
The Grantor acknowledges that because the Preferred Shares Option Price is subject to a fair market value determination as provided by the Valuation Advisor, and that the Secured Party’s rights pursuant to the Right of First Offer are subject to valuation as provided by a third party purchase offer, and that, in each case, the Secured Party is permitted to offset the full amounts then outstanding under the Convertible Notes against the Preferred Share Option Price or, as applicable, the price determined in accordance with the Right of First Offer, it is difficult and impractical to ascertain the actual and anticipated damages that the Secured Party would suffer by reason of the failure of the Grantor to perform any of its obligations with respect to the Purchase Option or the Secured Party’s rights pursuant to the Right of First Offer. Consequently, if the Grantor breaches any of its material obligations with respect to the Purchase Option or the Secured Party’s rights pursuant to the Right of First Offer, the Grantor shall pay to the Secured Party, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the full obligations outstanding under the Convertible Notes at the time of such breach after giving effect to acceleration, and the Grantor and the Secured Party acknowledge that such damage calculation is a fair and reasonable estimate of the actual and anticipated damages that the Secured Party would suffer as a result of such breach, provided, however, that such liquidated damages shall not be duplicative of the obligations outstanding under the Convertible Notes or the damages as provided in section 12.18 of the Shareholders Agreement. If the liquidated damages described above are held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then the Secured Party shall have such other rights, remedies and

A17046371                                 Linklaters LLP

16


damages as are provided hereby, by applicable law and any other agreements with the Grantor, all of which are reserved. The Grantor acknowledges that any damages provided hereby are Secured Obligations that are secured under this deed and that the Secured Party may, pursuant to applicable law, purchase the Collateral and apply such damages to the purchase price thereof. To the extent that the Secured Party applies any damages provided hereby toward the purchase price of Collateral under this deed, the obligations under the Convertible Notes will be deemed repaid in full.       
6.3
Governing law       
The agreement laid down in this deed is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States of America. To the extent the Lien created by this deed needs to be treated as a Lien governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York, United States of America, under any applicable conflict of law principle or otherwise, the Parties explicitly confirm their intention to create such a Lien under the laws of such other jurisdiction. The use in this deed of any terms relevant for the creation of a Liens under the laws of the State of New York will not be construed as excluding any the creation of a Lien under other applicable legal systems, and any such relevant terms will be construed as reference to the appropriate concepts of such other applicable legal systems.       
6.4
Taxes and expenses       
The Grantor shall pay any taxes (including income taxes) payable or ruled payable by federal or state authority in respect of this deed, together with interest and penalties, if any. The Grantor shall indemnify, reimburse, and hold harmless the Secured Party from and against all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of this deed, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantor in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms of this deed shall be borne solely by the Grantor.       
6.5
Severability       
Any provision of this deed held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction is, as to such jurisdiction, ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without effecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this deed; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction does not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.       
6.6

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Notice of Payment of Preferred Shares Option Price provides that the Preferred Shares Option Price exceeds such obligations outstanding under the Notes, TENA USA shall wire payment of such excess amount as identified in the Notice of Payment of Preferred Shares Option Price to the account specified in Section 16.9 below as a condition to the release of the Preferred Shares to TENA USA, and the Escrow Agent shall then transfer the Preferred Shares to TENA USA, and thereafter, shall release such funds to and for the benefit of Amyris.

Immediately upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale, the Escrow Agent shall transfer all right, title and interest in and to the Escrow Shares to the party identified in such notice as the purchaser of the Escrow Shares (which party may be, for the avoidance of doubt, TENA USA). The Escrow Agent acknowledges that the terms and conditions for the foreclosure sale of the Escrow Shares shall be determined by the outcome of the foreclosure sale process, which outcome will be as specified by TENA USA in the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale. The Escrow Agent acknowledges that if TENA USA is the purchaser at the foreclosure it will have paid the Preferred Shares Option Price outside of the escrow by its offset against the full amount of the obligations then outstanding under the Notes, after giving effect to acceleration, and the Escrow Agent shall assume without inquiry that such offset has occurred upon its receipt of the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale. To the extent all right, title and interest in and to the Class A Common Share has not been transferred to TENA USA prior to such foreclosure sale, the Escrow Agent acknowledges and agrees that if TENA USA is the purchaser at the foreclosure sale, it will have paid the purchase price for such share by its offset against the full amount of the obligations then outstanding under the Class A Note, after giving effect to acceleration, and the Escrow Agent shall assume without inquiry that such offset has occurred upon its receipt of the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale. The Escrow Agent shall assume without inquiry that the foreclosure sale process as described in the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale has been duly completed and shall comply with the transfer of the Escrow Shares pursuant to the instructions in the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale provides that TENA USA is the purchaser of the Escrow Shares and further provides that the Preferred Shares Option Price exceeds the full obligations outstanding under the Notes and, if applicable, the Class A Note, TENA USA shall wire payment of such excess amount as identified in the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale to the account specified in Section 16.9 below as a condition to the release of the Preferred Shares to TENA USA, and the Escrow Agent shall then transfer the Preferred Shares to TENA USA, and thereafter, shall release such funds to and for the benefit of Amyris. To the extent the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale provides that the purchaser of the Escrow Shares is anyone other than


A16893760





TENA USA and that TENA USA has confirmed that it received full payment from such purchaser on account of its collateral, the Escrow Agent shall transfer the Escrow Shares to that purchaser. To the extent the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale provides that the purchaser of the Escrow Shares is anyone other than TENA USA, and further provides that the purchase price exceeded the full amounts owing under the Notes and the Class A Note, and that TENA USA has confirmed that it received full payment from such purchaser on account of its collateral, the Escrow Agent shall transfer the Escrow Shares to that purchaser after such purchaser has wired the payment of the portion of the purchase price that exceeds the full amounts owing under the Notes and the Class A Note as specified in such notice to the account specified in Section 16.9 below, with the Escrow Agent to then release such funds to and for the benefit of Amyris.

Immediately upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Notice of Right of First Offer, the Escrow Agent shall transfer all right, title and interest in and to the Escrow Shares to the party identified in such notice as the purchaser of the Escrow Shares (which party may be, for the avoidance of doubt, TENA USA). To the extent the Notice of Right of First Offer provides that the purchaser is TENA USA, the Escrow Agent acknowledges that the payment of the purchase price shall occur outside of the escrow by TENA USA’s offset against the full amount of the obligations then outstanding under the Notes and the Class A Note, after giving effect to acceleration, and the Escrow Agent shall assume without inquiry that such offset has occurred upon its receipt of the Notice of Right of First Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Notice of Right of First Offer provides that the purchase price exceeds such obligations outstanding under the Notes and the Class A Note, TENA USA shall wire payment of such excess amount as identified in the Notice of Right of First Offer to the account specified in Section 16.9 below as a condition to the release of the Escrow Shares to TENA USA, and the Escrow Agent shall then transfer the Escrow Shares to TENA USA, and thereafter, shall release such funds to and for the benefit of Amyris. If the Notice of Right of First Offer provides that the successful purchaser is anyone other than TENA USA, the Escrow Agent shall transfer the Escrow Shares to that purchaser after such party has wired the payment of the purchase price specified in such notice to the account specified in Section 16.9 below, with the Escrow Agent to then release such funds to and for the benefit of Amyris.
7.6
Conditional transfer Escrow Shares to TENA USA
As soon as possible after the transfer of the Escrow Shares to the Escrow Agent on the Closing Date, TENA USA, the Escrow Agent and JVCO shall execute the notarial deeds of conditional transfer (the “ Notarial Deeds of Conditional Transfer ”) before the Notary, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex 14 ( Notarial Deeds of Conditional Transfer ) to effect the legal transfer of the Class A Common Share to TENA USA subject to the condition precedent ( opschortende voorwaarde ) of the delivery of the Notice of Election and the legal transfer of the Preferred Shares to TENA USA subject to the condition precedent of the delivery of the Notice of Payment of Preferred Shares Option Price.

Shift of entitlement related rights attributable to Escrow Shares
Immediately upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of a Notice of Election (in the case of the Class A Common Share) or a Notice of Purchase (in the case of the Escrow Shares), the Escrow Agent shall cease to hold the applicable Escrow Shares for the benefit, risk and account of Amyris and shall instead hold the applicable Escrow Shares for the benefit, risk and account of TENA USA (or as otherwise explicitly provided by TENA USA in such notice), such that the rights of Amyris in respect of the applicable Escrow Shares pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 shall then terminate, with such rights to instead be held by TENA USA (or as otherwise explicitly provided in such notice).

Interest on this Note shall accrue daily and be due and payable in arrears on the Final Maturity Date and at such other times as may be specified herein. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing this Note shall bear interest on the Face Amount at a rate per annum equal to 2.50% (as may be further adjusted pursuant to Section 5(c)).
(b)      Scheduled Payment of Principal . Unless paid, converted or cancelled and extinguished earlier in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Investor cash in the amount of the Face Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note, on March 1, 2017 (the “ Final Maturity Date ”).
(c)      Final Go Decision Date After a Go Decision . Promptly following the occurrence of the Final Go Decision Date after a Go Decision, and concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Final Shareholders’ Agreement, the Company will repurchase this Note from the Investor at a price equal to 100% of the Face Amount of this Note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the date of the execution and delivery of the Final Shareholders’ Agreement.

At any time (i) after the tenth Trading Day prior to the Final Maturity Date and prior to the fifth Trading Day prior to the Final Maturity Date, (ii) after the earlier to occur of (x) the occurrence of a Change of Control and (y) the date of the Company’s delivery of the Change of Control Notice pursuant to Section 4(b), and in each case and prior to the fifth Trading Day prior to the Final Maturity Date, (iii) when there shall then exist a Larger Shareholder after the No-Go Decision Date, or (iv) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Investor shall have the right to convert the Face Amount of this Note, in whole or in part, at the option of the Investor, at any time within the period specified above into a number of fully paid and nonassessable authorized but unissued Common Stock determined by

7


dividing (x) the Face Amount proposed to be converted at such date by (y) the then effective Conversion Price on the Conversion Date (as defined in Section 3(c)(i)) (the “ Investor Optional Conversion ”).
(b)      The “Conversion Price” at which Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of the Notes (the “ Conversion Price ”) shall initially be $7.0682. Such initial Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.
(c)      Mechanics of Conversion .
(i)      In order to exercise its rights pursuant to the Investor Optional Conversion, the Investor shall deliver written notice in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Company stating that the Investor elects to convert all or part of the Face Amount represented by this Note. Such notice shall state the Face Amount of Notes which the Investor seeks to convert and shall be accompanied within one (1) Trading Day by the Note or Notes subject to conversion. The date contained in the notice (which date shall be no earlier than the Trading Day immediately following the date of the notice) shall be the date of conversion of the Note (such date of conversion, the “ Conversion Date ”) and the Investor shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the underlying Common Stock as of such date.
(ii)      The Investor shall be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock underlying this Note as of the applicable Conversion Date. Not later than three (3) Trading Days following the Conversion Date, the Company shall promptly issue and deliver to the Investor a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Investor is entitled and, in the case where only part of a Note is converted, the Company shall execute and deliver (at its own expense) a new Note of any authorized denomination as requested by the Investor in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unconverted portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered.
(iii)      Upon conversion of this Note in whole or in part in accordance with the provision of Section 3(c) of this Note, the Company shall pay to the Investor, substantially concurrently with delivery of the shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion (the “ Conversion Shares ”), any accrued and unpaid interest, through the day preceding the Conversion Date, on the portion of the Face Amount represented by this Note that has been so converted. In addition, upon conversion of this Note in whole or in part following a Change of Control the Company shall pay to the Investor, substantially concurrently with delivery of the Conversion Shares, an amount in cash equal to the interest that would have accrued at a rate per annum equal to 1.50% from such Conversion Date through the Final Maturity Date on the portion of the Face Amount represented by this Note that has been so converted if such Note (or portion of the Note) had not been converted (“ Make-Whole Interest ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total amount of Make-Whole Interest exceed $7,487,479.13.
(iv)      The Company shall at all times during which the Notes shall be outstanding, have and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the outstanding Notes, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding

8


Notes. In no event shall the Conversion Price be reduced to an amount less than the then par value of the Common Stock.
(v)      No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon any conversion of the Notes pursuant to this Section 3. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
(vi)      All Notes (or the portions thereof) which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such Notes, except only the right of the Investor to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, accrued and unpaid interest and Make-Whole Interest, if applicable, each as described in Section 3(b)(iii) and, if applicable, cash for any fractional shares of Common Stock. Any Notes, to the extent so converted, shall be retired and canceled.
(vii)      If any conversion pursuant to this Section 3 is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion may, at the option of the Investor, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter of the sale of the Conversion Shares issuable to the Investor pursuant to such offering, in which event the Investor shall not be deemed to have converted such Notes until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.
(d)      Adjustment for Share Splits and Combinations . If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after July 31, 2012 effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price and Conversion Price Floor (as defined in Section 3(e)) then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after July 31, 2012 combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price and Conversion Price Floor then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(e)      Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions . In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after July 31, 2012, shall make or issue a dividend or other distribution payable in (x) additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance, by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of such additional shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; (y) in cash, then and in each such event, the Conversion Price shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance, by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend and distribution minus the amount in cash per share of Common Stock that the Company dividends or distributes, and the denominator of which shall be the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend and distribution; (z) shares of

9


capital stock of the Company, evidences of indebtedness, or any other asset (collectively, the “ Distributed Property ”), then and in each such event, the Conversion Price shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance, by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend and distribution minus the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors) of the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Price be reduced below $5.99 (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3(d), the “ Conversion Price Floor ”) pursuant to this clause (e). If a distribution or dividend would cause the Conversion Price to be below the Conversion Price Floor if not for the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall allow the Investor to participate in the dividend or distribution as if it held the number of shares of Common Stock that this Note would be convertible into at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date or effective date, as the case may be, for such distribution or dividend, and no adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price as a result of such distribution or dividend.
(f)      Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution . If at any time after July 31, 2012, shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of shares, whether by reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares, share dividend or reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or asset sale provided for elsewhere in this Section 3), then and in each such event the Company shall enter into an amendment to supplement to this Note to provide that the Note will become convertible (subject to Section 3(a)) into the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
(g)      Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Asset Sales . If at any time after July 31, 2012 there is a tender offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or reorganization involving the shares of Common Stock (collectively, a “ Capital Reorganization ”) (other than a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 3), as part of such Capital Reorganization, the Company shall enter into an amendment or supplement to this Note to provide that the Note will become convertible (subject to Section 3(a)) into the number of shares or other securities or property of the Company to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion immediately prior to such Capital Reorganization would have been entitled on such Capital Reorganization, subject to adjustment in respect to such shares or securities by the terms thereof. In any such case, appropriate adjustment will be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the Investor after the Capital Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of Conversion Shares) and the provisions of the Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement will be


10


applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable. In the event that the Company is not the surviving entity of any such Capital Reorganization, each Note shall become Notes of such surviving entity, with the same powers, rights and preferences as provided herein.
(h)      No Impairment . The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Investor against impairment to the extent required hereunder.
(i)      Certificate as to Adjustments or Distributions . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment of the Conversion Price or distribution to holders pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or distribution in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Investor a certificate setting forth the terms of such adjustment or distribution and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or distribution are based and shall file a copy of such certificate with its corporate records.
(j)      Notice of Record Date . In the event:
(i)      that the Company declares a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, securities, or other assets, rights or properties;
(ii)      that the Company subdivides or combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock;
(iii)      of any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock or a share dividend or share distribution thereon);

(v)      of the involuntary or voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

(B)      the date on which such reclassification, Capital Reorganization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the

(iii)      the Investor may Transfer all or any of its Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms of any tender offer, exchange offer, merger, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which stockholders of the Company are offered, permitted or required to participate as holders of Common Stock, provided that such tender offer, exchange offer, merger, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other transaction has been approved or recommended by the Board of Directors (and which at the time of Transfer continues to be approved or recommended by the Board of Directors); or
(iv)      following the date that is six (6) months after the date of such Investor Optional Conversion pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 3(a), the Investor may transfer all or any of its Conversion Shares pursuant to either an effective registration statement that is effective at the time of such transfer or pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, and any successor provision thereto.

(d)      Note Funding . If Total does not accept delivery of the Notes and to pay for the Notes at any Closing (as such term is defined in the SPA) pursuant to the SPA, either because of the failure of Amyris to satisfy a condition to any such Closing set forth in the SPA (which breach is not cured by Amyris within thirty days), or Total’s breach of any such purchase obligation under the SPA (which breach is not cured by Total within thirty days), then Total shall be deemed to have delivered a No-Go Decision, which No-Go Decision shall have the effects set forth in Section 2.2(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the SPA, the Notes or those certain letter agreements, dated as of March 27, 2013 and October 4, 2013, by and between Amyris and Total, if Amyris is prohibited from issuing any Notes after October 2, 2013 because such issuance of such Notes would, after giving effect to any then-applicable waivers, not be permitted by the provisions of Section 6 of the Notes or other then-outstanding debt of Amyris with a similar contractual restriction (a “ Debt Incurrence Limitation ”), then the triggering of such Debt Incurrence Limitation that would prohibit the issuance of the Notes shall not be deemed or treated to be a No-Go Decision.

6
6554672_6



Shareholders’ Agreement or the SPA, if, after a Fundamental Amyris Change, Total does not accept delivery of the Notes and pay for the Notes at any Closing (as such term is defined in the SPA), then Total shall not be deemed to have delivered a No-Go Decision.

ARTICLE 4     
BRAZIL JET/DIESEL
SECTION 4.1.      Rights to Conduct the Brazil Business .
(a)      The “ Brazil Business ” shall mean production and commercialization of Farnesane Diesel Products and Farnesane Jet Products within Brazil for commercialization solely in Brazil. The Brazil Business shall include the right to produce Farnesane Diesel Products and Farnesane 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).
(b)      The parties acknowledge that it would be desirable for the Brazil Business to be conducted by a single entity. Accordingly, (i) if the Brazil Business is contributed to JVCO pursuant to Section 4.3, then JVCO shall be entitled to conduct the Brazil Business exclusively and independently of Amyris and Total; and (ii) if the Brazil Business is acquired by Total pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.4, Total shall be entitled to conduct the Brazil Business exclusively and independently of Amyris and JVCO. If the Brazil Business is not contributed to JVCO or acquired by 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 occurrence of a Go Decision or a Jet Go Decision, Amyris agrees to provide Total and JVCO with complete and accurate information to allow each Advisor, Total and/or JVCO, as applicable, 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 each Advisor, 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 they may reasonably request. In the event that Total shall make a Jet Go Decision, Amyris and Total shall work together in good faith to evaluate the feasibility of restructuring the Brazil Business to

7
6554672_6



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.
SECTION 4.2.      Sale of Brazil Business to Total Prior to Final Go Decision Date .
(a)      If, prior to the Final Go Decision Date, Total acquires all of the common and preferred equity interests in JVCO other than pursuant to an Amyris Change of Control, then Total shall have an option to acquire the Brazil Business at the Brazil Business Fair Market Value. To exercise this option, Total shall deliver written notice to Amyris within 90 days following its acquisition of all of the common and preferred equity interests in JVCO that it intends to commence the process of establishing the Brazil Business Fair Market Value and shall deliver written notice to Amyris of its exercise of such option within 30 days following the determination of the Brazil Business Fair Market Value. If Total has exercised such option, then within 60 days following the delivery of such notice to Amyris (i) Total shall pay to Amyris, by wire transfer to an account in the United States designated by Amyris, an amount equal to the Brazil Business Fair Market Value; and (ii) Amyris will sell the Brazil Business to Total, which sale shall be effected by such documents as, in the reasonable opinion of Total, are necessary or appropriate to convey the Brazil Business to Total; provided , that Amyris shall be required to provide customary representations and warranties agreed to by the parties for this kind of transaction, including, without limitation, 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 Total pursuant to this Section 4.2, 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, 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.
(b)      The “ Brazil Business Fair Market Value ” shall mean the amount, determined as of the date that Total acquires all of the common and preferred equity interests in JVCO, equal to the fair market value that a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arms’-length transaction to acquire the Brazil Business, assuming that the Brazil Business 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, as determined by the relevant Advisor in accordance with Section 4.2(c).
(c)      Amyris and Total shall negotiate in good faith for a period of 20 days from the date of the notice from Total to Amyris of its intention to acquire the Brazil Business to try to

8
6554672_6




determine the Brazil Business Fair Market Value. If Amyris and Total are unable to reach a mutual determination of the Brazil Business Fair Market Value within such 20-day period, then each of Amyris and Total shall promptly engage (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 the Brazil Business (each, an “ Advisor ”), and each such Advisor shall deliver a written opinion as to its determination of the Brazil Business Fair Market Value (each, an “ Advisor’s Report ”) to each of Amyris and Total concurrently within 20 Business Days of its engagement (the “ Opinion Period ”). If the Brazil Business Fair Market Value determined by an Advisor is presented in such Advisor’s Report as a range of values, then the Brazil Business Fair Market Value 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 Brazil Business Fair Market Value for purposes hereof. If both of the Advisors timely deliver an Advisor’s Report and if the difference between the values submitted by each Advisor equals 10% or less of the higher value, then the Brazil Business Fair Market Value for purposes hereof shall be deemed to be the arithmetic average of the values submitted by such Advisors. If the difference between the two values is greater than 10% of the higher value, then Amyris and Total shall negotiate in good faith for a period of five Business Days from the expiration of the Opinion Period to try to determine the Brazil Business Fair Market Value. If, during such period, Amyris and Total cannot agree on the Brazil Business Fair Market Value, then they shall jointly select a third Advisor that has not been engaged by either Amyris or any of its Affiliates or Total or any of its Affiliates (but only with respect to matters involving the New Energies business of Total’s ultimate parent holding company and any other entity then operating what is currently the New Energies business) in any capacity during the six months preceding such date, which third Advisor may, but shall not be required to be, an Approved Valuation Firm. Such third Advisor shall be required to choose only one of the two previously-submitted values as the Brazil Business Fair Market Value and shall not be authorized to determine a new, third value. If Amyris and Total 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 Amyris or any of its Affiliates or Total or any of its Affiliates (but only with respect to matters involving the New Energies business of Total’s ultimate parent holding company and any other entity then operating what is currently the New Energies business) in any capacity during the six month period preceding such date, which third Advisor may, but shall not be required to be, an Approved Valuation Firm. Neither Amyris nor Total (or any Affiliate or representative of either Amyris or Total) shall communicate unilaterally with the third Advisor. The third Advisor will be instructed to deliver to Amyris and Total concurrently, within 15 Business Days of its engagement, an Advisor’s Report selecting which of the two values submitted by the original two Advisors better approximates the Brazil Business Fair Market Value. The value chosen by the third Advisor shall then be deemed to be the Brazil Business Fair Market Value and will be non-appealable, final and binding on the parties for purposes hereof. Amyris and Total covenant to provide the Advisors with complete and accurate information to allow the Advisors to accurately and independently estimate the Brazil Business Fair Market Value. The Advisors shall, in determining the Brazil Business Fair Market Value, consider all material information resulting from such diligence and access, subject to the definition of “Brazil Business Fair Market Value” set forth herein. Each of Amyris and Total shall bear the fees and expenses of its

9
6554672_6



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 Brazil Business Fair Market Value, including providing any information reasonably required for such purpose.
SECTION 4.3.      Contribution of Brazil Business to JVCO Following Final Go Decision Date .
(a)      If promptly following the Final Go Decision Date Amyris shall own 50% of the capital stock of JVCO, then if Total delivers written notice to Amyris within 90 days following the Final Go Decision Date that JVCO shall acquire the Brazil Business, the parties shall determine the Ground Floor Price pursuant to Section 4.3(b). If promptly following the Final Go Decision Date Amyris shall own less than 50% of the capital stock of JVCO, then if Total delivers written notice to Amyris within 90 days following the Final Go Decision Date that JVCO shall acquire the Brazil Business, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a fair sale price for the Brazil Business (the “ Brazil Business Sale Price ”). Within 60 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)      The “ Ground Floor Price ” means Amyris’ investment into the Brazil Business from November 2011 through the date such business is contributed to JVCO, including, but not limited to, technical development activities undertaken in Brazil, industrial and supply chain, capital expenditures, working capital, sales and marketing commitments, negative operating cash flow (i.e., not discounted by any losses) net of any liabilities of the Brazil Business which are assumed by JVCO and net of any subsidies provided to the Brazil Business,

10
6554672_6



which are not subject to any repayment or claw-back obligation retained by Amyris, which amount shall be mutually agreed to between Amyris and Total; provided , however , that if Amyris and Total are unable to agree upon such Ground Floor Price within 60 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 (such accounting firm or Advisor, the “ Independent Accounting Firm ”). Within 60 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 4.3(b); provided , however , that the external auditors of Amyris shall not be obligated to make any work papers available to the Independent Accounting Firm except in accordance with such auditors’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such Independent Accounting 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 makes 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 4.3 only the assets of the Brazil Business related to the development, production and commercialization of Farnesane Jet Products.
SECTION 4.4.      Sale of Brazil Business to Total on Deadlock . If Total shall acquire all of the common and preferred equity interests of Amyris in JVCO pursuant to Section 7.02(d) of the Shareholders’ Agreement, then if Total delivers written notice to Amyris within 90 days following such acquisition of common and preferred equity interests of Amyris in JVCO that Total intends to acquire the Brazil Business, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on the Brazil Business Sale Price. Within 60 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

11
6554672_6



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, 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.

SECTION 5.1.      Right to Purchase New Securities .
(d)      With respect to any proposed issuance of New Securities to any third party on or prior to June 30, 2014, 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; provided that the aggregate New Securities purchased by Total pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall not exceed $15,747,816.63. 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 , that 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 Securities (as defined in the SPA) as provided below. Total’s rights under this Section 5.1(a) shall terminate if not exercised within the Participation Exercise Period.
(e)      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

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.

Attention: Mr. John Melo, President & CEO

Reference is made to that certain Master Framework Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2012, by and between Amyris, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Amyris ”), and Total Energies Nouvelles Activités USA (f/k/a Total Gas & Power USA, SAS), a société par actions simplifiée organized under the laws of the Republic of France (“ Total ”) (the “ Framework Agreement ”), and that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2012, by and among Amyris and Total (the “ Total Purchase Agreement ”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Framework Agreement or the Total Purchase Agreement, as applicable.

Pursuant to the terms of the Framework Agreement and the Total Purchase Agreement, Amyris issued a 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note to Total in the principal amount of $38,300,000 on July 30, 2012 (the “ Initial Tranche Note ”) and issued 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes to Total in the principal amounts of $15,000,000 on September 14, 2012, $10,000,000 on June 6, 2013 and $20,000,000 on July 26, 2013 (collectively, the “ Additional Tranche Notes ”), resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $83,300,000 of outstanding Securities. On December 24, 2012, Amyris converted $4,999,998.96 of the Initial Tranche Note into shares of Amyris Common Stock. Following such conversion, the Initial Tranche Note was cancelled and Amyris issued that certain 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note to Total in the principal amount of $33,300,001.04 on December 24, 2012 (the “ First Reissued Note ”). On October 16, 2013, Amyris cancelled the First Reissued Note to apply $9,252,184.41 of such First Reissued Note against the purchase price of a new Tranche I Note (as defined in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2013, by and among Amyris and the Purchasers listed on Schedule I thereto) and issued that certain 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note to Total for the remaining principal amount of $24,047,816.63 (the “ Second Reissued Note ” and together with the Additional Tranche Notes, the “ Notes ”), resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $69,047,816.63 of outstanding Securities.

In connection with the execution on the date hereof of the shareholders agreement, license agreement and related documents entered into by and among Amyris, Total and Total Amyris BioSolutions B.V., a private company with limited liability organized under the laws of the Netherlands ( besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid ) (the “ JVCO ”), relating to the establishment of the JVCO, Amyris has agreed to (i) exchange the outstanding Notes and immediately issue to Total replacement 1.5% Senior Secured Convertible Notes, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A , in principal amounts equal to the principal amount of each cancelled Note (the “ Replacement Notes ”) and (ii) to grant to Total a security interest in and lien on all of Amyris’ rights, title and interest in and to Amyris’ shares in the capital of the JVCO under the pledge agreement, executed as a notarial deed as of the date hereof, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “ Pledge ”), to secure, among other obligations, Amyris’ obligations under the Total Purchase Agreement, the Replacement Notes and any notes issued in the Third Closing.

EXECUTION COPY

Amyris hereby agrees on the date hereof to exchange with Total the outstanding Notes for the Replacement Notes. Each Replacement Note will be in substantially the same form as the exchanged Note, as set forth on Exhibit A hereto, except that such Replacement Note will be secured by the Pledge.

Following the date of the execution of this letter agreement, any Securities to be purchased and sold at the Third Closing by Total shall be 1.5% Senior Secured Convertible Notes, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A instead of the form of Security attached to the Total Purchase Agreement prior to the amendment of the Total Purchase Agreement by this letter agreement, and shall have a Conversion Price, as defined therein, of $7.0682.

As a condition to the entry into this letter agreement and the issuance of the Securities in the Third Closing, and in addition to the conditions specified in Section 6.2 of the Total Purchase Agreement with respect to the Third Closing, Amyris shall have executed and delivered the Pledge and shall have taken such actions to perfect such security interest in accordance with the Pledge.

Except to the extent described in this letter agreement and as specifically modified herein, all terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement, the Total Purchase Agreement and the Securities shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. This letter agreement shall not be a waiver of any existing default or breach of a covenant. This letter agreement shall be deemed to form an integral part of each of the Securities. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of the Securities and this letter agreement, the provisions of this letter agreement will prevail and govern. All references to the “Note” in the Securities shall hereinafter refer to each such Security as amended by this letter agreement.

Amyris, Inc.
5885 Hollis Street, Suite 100
Emeryville, CA 94608
Attention: Mr. John Melo, President & CEO

Reference is made to that certain Master Framework Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2012, by and between Amyris, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Amyris”), and Total Energies Nouvelles Activités USA (f/k/a Total Gas & Power USA, SAS), a société par actions simplifiée organized under the laws of the Republic of France (“Total”) (the “Framework Agreement”), that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2012, by and among Amyris and Total (the “Total Purchase Agreement”) and that certain Letter Agreement by and between Total, Amyris and Maxwell (Mauritius) Pte Ltd (“Maxwell”), dated as of August 8, 2013 (the “Letter Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Framework Agreement or the Total Purchase Agreement, as applicable.

Pursuant to the terms of the Framework Agreement and the Total Purchase Agreement, Amyris issued a 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note to Total in the principal amount of $38,300,000 on July 31, 2012 (the “Initial Tranche Note”) and issued a 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note to Total in the principal amount of $15,000,000 on September 14, 2012 (the “Second Tranche Note”). On December 24, 2012, Amyris converted $4,999,998.96 of the Initial Tranche Note into shares of Amyris Common Stock. Following such conversion, the Initial Tranche Note was cancelled and Amyris issued that certain 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note to Total in the principal amount of $33,300,001.04 on December 24, 2012 (the “Reissued Note” and together with the Second Tranche Note, the “Notes”). The conversion price of such Notes was initially $7.0682. In connection with the execution of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2013, by and among Total, Amyris and Maxwell, as amended from time to time (the “2013 Purchase Agreement”), Total, Maxwell and Amyris entered into a non-binding letter agreement, which contemplates that in consideration for Total’s agreement to enter into an amendment to the Intellectual Property Security Agreement (as amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), dated as of April 26, 2013, executed by Amyris in favor of Total, to collateralize certain of the convertible promissory notes to be sold to Maxwell under the 2013 Purchase Agreement with certain of the collateral subject to the Security Agreement, Amyris will agree to reduce the conversion price for the outstanding Notes on December 2, 2013 unless prior to such date the shareholders agreement, license agreement and related documents to be entered by Amyris, Total and the proposed joint venture company to be formed by Amyris and Total, as contemplated by the Framework Agreement, have been finalized and become effective.

In consideration of the matters described above and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

If, prior to December 2, 2013, Amyris and Total have not entered into the shareholders agreement, license agreement and related documents to be entered by Amyris, Total and the proposed joint venture company to be formed by Amyris and Total, as contemplated by the Framework Agreement, then, on December 2, 2013, Amyris will cancel the outstanding Notes and immediately issue to Total a new replacement 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note with a reduced conversion price in a principal

27121/00010/DOCS/2994347.4



amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the cancelled Notes (the “Replacement Note”). Such Replacement Note will be in the same form as the cancelled Notes except that the Replacement Note will have an initial conversion price of $2.20; provided that such conversion price shall not be lower than the lowest possible conversion price permitted under the relevant listing rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market (the “NASDAQ Rules”) such that the issuance of the Replacement Note would require Amyris to obtain stockholder approval with respect to such issuance. Amyris shall provide Total with written notice of such cancellation and issuance of the Replacement Note in accordance with the notice provisions of the Notes.

Amyris proposes to amend the 2013 Purchase Agreement to add an entity or entities affiliated with FMR LLC as a Purchaser or Purchasers thereunder and to increase the principal amount of the Tranche I Senior Convertible Notes issued thereunder to up to $55,000,000 (the “Amendment”). Amyris has further requested that Total provide a waiver to Amyris of the covenant set forth in Section 6 (“Limitation on Debt and Liens”) of each of the 1.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes issued to Total under the Total Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Total Notes”) in connection with (i) any Total Notes issued after October 2, 2013, (ii) any secured Debt of Amyris Brasil Ltda. outstanding as of October 2, 2013, (iii) the issuance by Amyris to Maxwell of a Senior Promissory Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Bridge Note”) in the principal amount of $35,000,000, and (iv) the financing transactions provided for by the 2013 Purchase Agreement, as may be amended by the Amendment (such pending financing transactions, the “2013 Note Financing”). In accordance with Section 8 of the Total Notes (“Amendment and Waiver”), Total hereby grants, effective as of October 2, the following waiver (the“Waiver”) of the requirements of Section 6 of the Total Notes:

Total hereby waives compliance with Section 6 of the Total Notes with respect to (i) any Total Notes issued after October 2, 2013, (ii) secured Debt of Amyris Brasil Ltda outstanding as of October 2, 2013, (iii) Amyris’ issuance of the Bridge Note to Maxwell, and (iv) Amyris’ issuance of senior convertible notes in accordance with the 2013 Purchase Agreement, as may be amended by the Amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that (a) the Debt described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the previous sentence shall reduce the Debt permitted to be incurred pursuant to the first clause (i) and (ii) of Section 6(a) of the Total Notes in accordance with the $200,000,000 limitation set forth in that section, and (b) after incurring the Debt described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the previous sentence, Amyris shall have incurred secured Debt in excess of $125,000,000, and so long as Amyris’ aggregate secured Debt exceeds $125,000,000, Amyris will not be permitted to incur any additional secured Debt without Total’s consent. Notwithstanding anything in this letter, the Framework Agreement, the Total Purchase Agreement, the Total Notes or that certain letter agreement, dated as of March 27, 2013, by and between Amyris and Total, if Amyris is prohibited from issuing any Total Notes after October 2, 2013 because such issuance of such Total Notes would, after giving effect to the Waiver, not be permitted by the provisions of Section 6 of the Total Notes or other then outstanding debt of Amyris with a similar contractual restriction, (a “Debt Incurrence Limitation”), the triggering of such Debt Incurrence Limitation that would prohibit the issuance of Total Notes shall not be deemed or treated to be a “No-Go Decision” by Total under the terms of the Framework Agreement.

Except to the extent of the Waiver and as specifically modified hereby, all terms and conditions of the Total Notes shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. This letter shall not be a waiver of any existing default or breach of a covenant unless specified herein. This letter agreement shall be deemed to form an integral part of each of the Total Notes. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of the Total Notes and this letter agreement, the provisions of this letter agreement

will prevail and govern. All references to the “Note” in the Total Notes shall hereinafter refer to the each such Total Note as amended by this letter agreement.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if the Employee breaches his or her obligations under paragraph (d) or (e) of Section 5 or paragraph (e) or (f) of Section 6, from and after the date of such breach, then in either instance (i) the Employee will no longer be entitled to, and the Company will no longer be obligated to pay, any remaining unpaid portion of any Cash Severance Payments and (ii) the Employee will no longer be entitled to, and the Company will no longer be obligated to make available to the Employee or the Employee’s spouse or dependents, any group health insurance plans or any payment in respect of such plans. In all other cases, the Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Plan.

8.      Limitation on Benefits .

         (a)     Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, to the extent that the payments and benefits provided under this Plan and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, the Employee under any other employer plan or agreement (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the “ Benefits ”) would be subject to the excise tax (the “ Excise Tax ”) imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the Benefits shall be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent that a reduction in the Benefits would result in the Employee retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax), than if the Employee received all of the Benefits (such reduced amount is hereinafter referred to as the “ Limited Benefit Amount ”). If required, the payments and benefits under this Plan shall be reduced in the following order: (i) a pro rata reduction of (x) cash payments that are subject to Section 409A as deferred compensation and (y) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (ii) a pro rata reduction of (x) employee benefits that are subject to Section 409A as deferred compensation and (y) employee benefits not subject to Section 409A of the Code; and (iii) a pro rata cancellation of (x) accelerated vesting of stock and other equity-based awards that are subject to Section 409A of the Code as deferred compensation and (y) stock and other equity-based awards not subject to Section 409A. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock and other equity-based award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be



cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Employee’s stock and other equity-based awards unless the Employee elects in writing a different order for cancellation.

        (b)     A determination as to whether the Benefits shall be reduced to the Limited Benefit Amount pursuant to this Plan and the amount of such Limited Benefit Amount shall be made by the Company’s independent public accountant or another certified public accounting firm of national reputation designated by the Company (the “ Accounting Firm ”) at the Company’s expense. The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “ Determination ”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation to the Company and the Employee within five (5) days of the date of termination of the Employee’s employment, if applicable, or such other time as requested by the Company or by the Employee (provided the Employee reasonably believes that any of the Benefits may be subject to the Excise Tax) and if the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Employee with respect to any Benefits, it shall furnish the Employee with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Employee that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Benefits. Within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Determination to the Employee, the Employee shall have the right to dispute the Determination (the “ Dispute ”). If there is no Dispute, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Employee.

        (c)     Notwithstanding anything else provided herein, to the extent any payments provided under this Plan in connection with the Employee’s termination of employment constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder (“ Section 409A ”), and the Employee is deemed at the time of such termination of employment to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A, then such payment shall not be made or commence until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the Employee’s separation from service from the Company or (ii) the date of the Employee’s death following such a separation from service; provided, however, that such deferral shall only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to the Employee including, without limitation, the twenty percent (20%) tax for which the Employee would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code in the absence of such deferral. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this paragraph shall be paid to the Employee or the Employee’s beneficiary in one lump sum (without interest). Any termination of the Employee’s employment is intended to constitute a “separation from service” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1. To the extent that any provision of this Plan is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A, the provision will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A. To the extent any payment under this Plan may be classified as a “short-term deferral” within the meaning of Section 409A, such payment shall be deemed a short-term deferral, even if it may also qualify for an exemption from Section 409A under another provision of Section 409A. Payments pursuant to this Section are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

    9.      Successors .

        (a)      Company’s Successors . Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets shall assume the Company’s obligations under this Plan and agree expressly to perform the Company’s obligations under this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. For all purposes under this Plan, the term “ Company ” shall include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets.

        (b)      Employee’s Successors . Without the written consent of the Company, the Employee shall not assign or transfer this Plan or any right or obligation under this Plan to any other person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Plan and all rights of the Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

    10.      Notices .

        (a)      General . Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail,




return receipt requested and postage prepaid. In the case of the Employee, mailed notices shall be addressed to him or her at the home address that he or she most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its General Counsel, or to the Chief Financial Officer if the notice to the Company is from the General Counsel.

        (b)      Notice of Termination . Any termination by the Company or by the Employee shall be communicated by a notice of termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with this Article.

    11.      Arbitration .

        (a)     Except to the extent previously agreed upon in Employee’s existing Mutual Agreement to Binding Arbitration with the Company, any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Plan, or the interpretation, validity, construction, performance, breach, or termination thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration to be held in San Jose, California, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect of the American Arbitration Association (the “ Rules ”). The arbitrator(s) may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction.

EXHIBIT B
TO EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN
Release
In consideration of the severance benefits (the “Severance Benefits”) offered to me by Amyris, Inc. (the “Employer”) pursuant to my Agreement with Employer dated ____________, 20___ (the “Agreement”) and in connection with the termination of my employment, I agree to the following general release (the “Release”).
1.    On behalf of myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, I hereby fully and forever generally release and discharge Employer, its current, former and future parents, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, related entities, employee benefit plans, and their fiduciaries, predecessors, successors, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and assigns (collectively, the “Company”) from any and all claims, causes of action, and liabilities up through the date of my execution of the Release. The claims subject to this release include, but are not limited to, those relating to my employment with Employer and/or any predecessor or successor to Employer and the termination of such employment. All such claims (including related attorneys’ fees and costs) are barred without regard to whether those claims are based on any alleged breach of a duty arising in statute, contract, or tort. This expressly includes waiver and release of any rights and claims arising under any and all laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances, including, but not limited to: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; the Americans With Disabilities Act; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Fair Labor Standards Act; the National Labor Relations Act; the Family and Medical Leave Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”); the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act; the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (if applicable); the provisions of the California Labor Code (if applicable); the Equal Pay Act of 1963; and any similar law of any other state or governmental entity. The parties agree to apply California law in interpreting the Release. Accordingly, I further waive any rights under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any similar state statute. Section 1542 states: “ A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known to him, must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor .”
2.    This Release does not extend to, and has no effect upon, any benefits that have accrued, and to which I have become vested, under any employee benefit plan within the meaning of ERISA sponsored by the Company.
3.    In understanding the terms of the Release and my rights, I have been advised to consult with an attorney of my choice prior to executing the Release. I understand that nothing in this Release is intended to constitute an unlawful release or waiver of any of my rights under any laws and/or to prevent, impede, or interfere with my ability and/or rights, if any: (a) under applicable workers’ compensation laws; (b) to seek unemployment benefits; (c) to file a charge or complaint with a government agency such as but not limited to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, or any applicable state agency; (d) provide truthful testimony if under subpoena to do so, (e) file a claim with any state or federal agency or to participate or cooperate in such a matter, and/or (f) to challenge the validity of this release. Furthermore, notwithstanding any provisions and covenants herein, the Release shall not waive (a) any rights to indemnification I may have as an officer of Employer or otherwise in connection with my employment with Employer, under Employer’s bylaws or other governing instruments or any agreement addressing such subject matter between Employer and me (including any fiduciary insurance policy maintained by Employer under which I am covered) or under




any merger or acquisition agreement addressing such subject matter, (b) any obligations owed to me pursuant to the Agreement, (c) my rights of insurance under any liability policy covering Employer’s officers (in addition to the rights under subsection (a) above), or (d) any accrued but unpaid wages; any reimbursement for business expenses pursuant to Employer’s policies for such reimbursements, any outstanding claims for benefits or payments under any benefit plans of Employer or subsidiaries, any accrued but unused vacation, any ongoing agreements evidencing outstanding equity awards granted to me, any obligations owed to me pursuant to the terms of outstanding written agreements between myself and Employer and any claims I may not release as a matter of law, including indemnification claims under applicable law. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any dispute regarding the scope of this general release shall be resolved through binding arbitration pursuant to Section 10 below, and the arbitration provision set forth in the Agreement.
4.    I understand and agree that Employer will not provide me with the Severance Benefits unless I execute the Release. I also understand that I have received or will receive, regardless of the execution of the Release, all wages owed to me together with any accrued but unused vacation pay, less applicable withholdings and deductions, earned through my termination date.
5.    As part of my existing and continuing obligations to Employer, I have returned to Employer all documents (and all copies thereof) and other property belonging to Employer that I have had in my possession at any time, including but not limited to files, notes, drawings, records, business plans and forecasts, financial information, specification, computer-recorded information, tangible property (including, but not limited to, computers, laptops, pagers, etc.), credit cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys; and any materials of any kind which contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of Employer (and all reproductions thereof). I understand that, even if I did not sign the Release, I am still bound by any and all confidential/proprietary/trade secret information, non-disclosure and inventions assignment agreement(s) signed by me in connection with my employment with Employer, or with a predecessor or successor of Employer, pursuant to the terms of such agreement(s).
6.    I represent and warrant that I am the sole owner of all claims relating to my employment with Employer and/or with any predecessor of Employer, and that I have not assigned or transferred any claims relating to my employment to any other person or entity.
7.    I agree to keep the Severance Benefits and the provisions of this Release confidential and not to reveal their contents to anyone except my lawyer, my spouse or other immediate family member, and/or my financial consultant, or as required by legal process or applicable law.
8.    I understand and agree that the Release shall not be construed at any time as an admission of liability or wrongdoing by either the Company or me.
9.    I agree that I will not make any negative or disparaging statements or comments, either as fact or as opinion, about the Company, its employees, officers, directors, shareholders, vendors, products




or services, business, technologies, market position or performance. Nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit me from providing truthful information in response to a subpoena or other legal process.
10.    Any controversy or any claim arising out of or relating to the interpretation, enforceability or breach of the Release shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the arbitration provision of the Agreement. If for any reason the arbitration procedure set forth in the Agreement is unavailable, I agree to arbitration under the employment arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association or any successor hereto. The parties further agree that the arbitrator shall not be empowered to add to, subtract from, or modify, alter or amend the terms of the Release. Any applicable arbitration rules or policies shall be interpreted in a manner so as to ensure their enforceability under applicable state or federal law.
11.    I agree that I have had at least [seven (7)] [twenty-one (21)] [forty-five (45)] calendar days in which to consider whether to execute the Release, no one hurried me into executing the Release during that period, and no one coerced me into executing the Release. I understand that the offer of the Severance Benefits and the Release shall expire on the [eighth (8 th )] [twenty-second (22 nd )] [forty-sixth (46 th )] calendar day after my employment termination date if I have not accepted it by that time. I further understand that Employer’s obligations under the Release shall not become effective or enforceable until the eighth (8 th ) calendar day after the date I sign the Release provided that I have timely delivered it to Employer (the “Effective Date”) and that in the seven (7) day period following the date I deliver a signed copy of the Release to Employer I understand that I may revoke my acceptance of the Release. I understand that the Severance Benefits will become available to me after the Effective Date.
12.    In executing the Release, I acknowledge that I have not relied upon any statement made by Employer, or any of its representatives or employees, with regard to the Release unless the representation is specifically included herein. Furthermore, the Release and the Agreement contain our entire understanding regarding eligibility for and the payment of severance benefits and supersedes any or all prior representations and agreements regarding the subject matter. Once effective and enforceable, this agreement can only be changed by another written agreement signed by me and an authorized representative of Employer.
13.    Should any provision of the Release be determined by an arbitrator, court of competent jurisdiction, or government agency to be wholly or partially invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining parts, terms, or provisions are intended to remain in full force and effect. Specifically, should a court, arbitrator, or agency conclude that a particular claim may not be released as a matter of law, it is the intention of the parties that the general release and the waiver of unknown claims above shall otherwise remain effective to release any and all other claims. I acknowledge that I have obtained sufficient information to intelligently exercise my own judgment regarding the terms of the Release before executing the Release.
