7. Equitable Relief
and Cumulative Remedies.

Verenium acknowledges and agrees that BPs remedies at law for breach of any of the
provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, Verenium agrees that, in the event of such breach, in addition to any remedies at law it may have, BP, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable
relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy that may be available. Verenium further acknowledges that should Verenium or its Affiliates violate any of

in equity.

8. Acknowledgement.

Each of Verenium and BP acknowledge and agree that the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement have been negotiated in good faith by the Parties, are reasonable and are not more restrictive
or broader than necessary to protect the interests of the Parties thereto, and would not achieve their intended purpose if they were on different terms or for periods of time shorter than the periods of time provided herein or applied in more

contained in this Agreement.

9. Separate Covenants.

10. Severability.

The Parties agree that construction of this Agreement
shall be in favor of its reasonable nature, legality and enforceability, and that any construction causing unenforceability shall yield to a construction permitting enforceability. It is agreed that the restrictive covenants and provisions of this
Agreement are severable, and that if any single covenant or provision or multiple covenants or provisions should be found unenforceable, the entire Agreement and remaining covenants and provisions shall not fail but shall be construed as enforceable
without any severed covenant or provision in accordance with the tenor of this Agreement. The Parties specifically agree that no covenant or provision of this Agreement shall be invalidated because of overbreadth insofar as the Parties acknowledge
the scope of the covenants and provisions contained herein to be reasonable and necessary for the protection of each of Verenium and BP. However, should a court or any other trier of fact or law determine not to enforce any covenant or provision of
this Agreement as written due to overbreadth or otherwise, then the Parties agree



8



---

that said covenant or provision shall be enforced to the extent reasonable, with the court or such trier to make any necessary revisions to said covenant or provision to permit its enforceability
and that any such limitation on the enforceability of any such covenant or provision shall not effect the enforceability of any other covenant or provision of this Agreement.
