	3.	 	Program Timeline and Milestones. 

  

3.1. Program Timeline and Milestones. The timeline and milestones for each Stage of the Program are set forth in
Exhibit B. Stage 1 will begin on the Effective Date and expire [...***...] thereafter. Each subsequent Stage will commence only if the milestone for the prior Stage is achieved within the timeline for such prior Stage as set forth in Exhibit B, and
will begin on the day following the last day of the timeline for the previous Stage, provided, however, the timeline for any Stage shall be extended for no more [...***...] or may be extended upon mutual written agreement of the Parties. Genomatica
shall provide written notice to WMOG of achievement of the milestone for each Stage, with appropriate supporting documentation. 
  

3.2. Failure to Achieve Milestones. [...***...] prior to the end of each Stage, Genomatica shall provide WMOG with

than thirty (30) days after the last day of the timeline for such Stage (as may be extended under Section 3.1 or 4.2). If WMOG does not terminate within such timeframe, the Parties will mutually agree upon a revised timeline and/or
milestone. [...***...]. For clarity, upon termination of this Agreement under this Section 3.2, the subsequent Stage shall not commence and no further Stage costs will accrue. 

 

	4.	 	Scope of Cooperation. 

  

4.1. Performance of Development Plan. During the term of any Development Plan, the Parties will work together in a
mutually beneficial and cooperative fashion in order to meet the objectives of the Development Plan. In connection therewith, each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its responsibilities and to allocate sufficient
resources to complete the Program in accordance with the relevant specifications and development schedule, if any, set forth in such Development Plan. For clarity, the failure of a Party to achieve any scientific or technical result contemplated
under the Development Plan, including failure of Genomatica to reach any milestone, shall not be a breach of the foregoing so long as such Party uses commercially reasonable efforts to achieve such result, but

  

			
	4
		 	***Confidential Treatment Requested

 
Genomatica’s failure to devote the time and efforts of 10 FTEs (as defined and described in Section 6.1 below) to the Program and the Development Plan shall be considered a breach of
this Agreement unless otherwise approved in writing by WMOG. To the extent specified in the Development Plan and otherwise permitted under its existing legal and contractual obligations, each Party will use and disclose its Background Technology
directly relevant to the Program to the other Party. 
  
 4.2. Condition of Performance by Genomatica. To the extent Genomatica’s failure to achieve a milestone within the timeline for any Stage is caused by WMOG’s delay in carrying out its
responsibilities under the Development Plan, the timeline shall be extended for a period equivalent to the length of WMOG’s delay. If WMOG’s delay extends more than [...***...] days, or if WMOG is unable to carry out its responsibilities
under the Development Plan, the Parties will renegotiate WMOG’s responsibilities under the Development Plan and the timeline for the applicable Stage. WMOG’s failure to supply syngas for the Program will not be considered a breach of this
Agreement by WMOG. 
  

	5.	 	Exclusivity. 

  

Genomatica agrees not to work with any third party [...***...]. WMOG agrees not to work with any third party [...***...].
Nothing herein will prevent a Party from working with its Affiliates. For clarification, a Party may work with any third party on programs outside the Field, including programs for the production of [...***...] from syngas produced primarily from
sources other than Waste materials, for the production of [...***...] from sources other than syngas, and/or for the production of chemicals other than [...***...] from any source.

equivalent to 10 full time equivalents (“FTEs”) annually, up to a total cost of $[...***...] (based on $[...***...]/FTE), with payments to be made as set forth in Exhibit B. 
  
 6.2. Timing of Payments. The full Stage cost will accrue the first day of a Stage.
However, Stage costs will be paid by WMOG in equal installments as set forth in Exhibit B, with the first installment for each Stage to be paid on the first day of the Stage and subsequent installments to be paid each [...***...] thereafter,
provided, however, the first two (2) installments for Stage 1 shall be made by WMOG no later than [...***...], with the third installment payable [...***...] thereafter. 

 
 6.3. Success Payments and Equity
Investment. If Genomatica achieves a milestone for a Stage within the specified timeline for such Stage as set forth in Exhibit B (as may be extended under Section 3.1 or 4.2 or revised under Section 3.2), WMOG will provide the success
payment specified for such Stage set forth on Exhibit B within [...***...] after written notice from Genomatica of achievement of such milestone as provided in Section 3.1. Genomatica will waive the success payments for Stages 1, 2,
3, and 4 if WMOG or an Affiliate [...***...].

		 	***Confidential Treatment Requested

 
Field Commercial Agreements of Waste material for use as feedstock to produce [...***...] within the Field and Territory. As a condition to Genomatica entering into an In-Field Commercial
Agreement, the third party to such agreement must be added as a party to the Supply Rights Agreement, as may be amended with respect to such third party upon mutual agreement of WM, WMOG and the third party. 

 

	9.	 	Infringement Impacting Exclusivity. 

  

In the event either Party becomes aware of an infringement of Genomatica Process Technology in the Field in the Territory, it will notify
the other Party in writing to that effect and shall provide evidence to support an allegation of infringement. WMOG may request that Genomatica undertake to directly enforce any issued patents included in the Genomatica Process Technology in the
Territory against the alleged infringer. If WMOG then holds an exclusive license under the Commercialization Agreement, and Genomatica does not, in cooperation with WMOG, undertake to pursue such alleged infringement within a reasonable period
following notice of alleged infringement, WMOG shall be entitled to enforce such patents in the name of Genomatica and WMOG as it pertains to such infringement in the Field and in the Territory, at its own expense, and in such case shall be entitled
to retain any proceeds from the successful prosecution or settlement of such action as it pertains to the Field and the Territory. Genomatica shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own
choice. Genomatica agrees to be joined as a party in any lawsuit brought by WMOG under this Section.

amendments to the Development Plans, as necessary; and (iv) participate in quarterly meetings to review the overall progress of the Program contemplated hereunder and to provide overall supervision and oversight. The meetings will be held via
telephone or in person at alternating locations, as the Parties shall determine. The Program Managers for the Parties shall be following individuals or their respective designated successors: 
  

			
	 WMOG Program Manager:
	  	Tim Cesarek
		
	 Genomatica Program Manager:
	  	Mark Burk

  

	11.	 	Escalation and Dispute Resolution 

  

11.1. Escalation/Informal Dispute Resolution. Both Parties agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to work
out issues that arise in connection with the performance of this Agreement and any Development Plan and the negotiations of the Commercialization License. In the event that a dispute arises between the Parties under this Agreement or any Development
Plan (each a “Dispute”), the matter shall first be escalated to the Program Managers in an attempt to settle such Dispute through consultation and negotiation in good faith. If the Program Managers are unable to resolve the Dispute within
[...***...], each Party shall appoint an additional senior executive to serve with the Program Managers as a committee for resolution of the Dispute, which committee shall further attempt to settle such Dispute through consultation and negotiation
in good faith. If the above procedures have not resulted in a mutually acceptable resolution of the issue within [...***...] of the Dispute first being addressed by the Program Managers, either Party may seek resolution of the Dispute through
binding arbitration pursuant to Section 11.2 below. 

  

			
	11
		 	***Confidential Treatment Requested

 11.2. Arbitration. The Parties stipulate and agree that if they are
unable to resolve any Dispute as contemplated by Section 11.1 hereof, then such Dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration conducted in [...***...] by a panel of three (3) arbitrators in accordance with and subject to the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. Following notice of a Party’s election to require arbitration, each Party shall within thirty (30) days select and identify in writing
to the other Party one (1) arbitrator, and those two (2) arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days thereafter select a third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators are unable to agree on a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days,
the AAA shall within thirty (30) days thereafter select such third arbitrator. Discovery as permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure then in effect shall be allowed in connection with arbitration to the extent consistent with the
purpose of the arbitration and as allowed by the arbitrators. Judgment upon the award rendered in any arbitration may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award
and an enforcement, as the law of the state having jurisdiction may require or allow. The fact that arbitration is or may be allowed shall not impair the exercise of any termination rights under this Agreement. 

 
 11.3. Exceptions to Arbitration. The
only circumstance in which Disputes between the Parties will not be subject to the provisions of Sections 11.1 and 11.2 above is where a Party makes a good faith determination that a breach of the terms of the Agreement or Development Plan is such
that damage resulting from the breach will be so immediate, irreparable, severe, or otherwise incapable of adequate redress that a temporary restraining order or other immediate injunctive relief is the only adequate remedy for such breach.

  
 11.4. Continued
Performance. Except where prevented from doing so by the matter in dispute, the Parties agree to continue performing their obligations under this Agreement while any good faith Dispute is being resolved unless and until such obligations are
terminated by the termination or expiration of this Agreement 
  

	12.	 	Term of Agreement. 

  

12.1. Term and Termination of the Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and,
unless earlier terminated under Section 3.2 or Section 12.2, which are the sole grounds for early termination of this Agreement, continue in effect until four (4) years from the Effective Date, provided that if the timeline for
completion of any Stage is extended under Section 3.1 or 4.2 or revised under Section 3.2, the term of this Agreement shall be extended for an equivalent period. 

 
 12.2. Termination of the Agreement.
This Agreement may be terminated as set forth in Section 3.2 and in the following circumstances: 
  

12.2.1. By a Party upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other Party if such other Party breaches any
material obligation provided hereunder and the breaching Party fails to cure such breach within such thirty (30) day period following the notice specifying the nature of the default. The right to terminate this Agreement shall be in addition to
any other rights or remedies that may be available to the non-breaching Party at law or equity as a result of such breach. 
  

12.2.2. By a Party, without liability, by providing a notice of termination to the other Party within thirty
(30) days of notice of a Change of Control of such other Party, which termination shall be effective upon closing of such Change of Control. For purposes of this 

  

			
	12
		 	***Confidential Treatment Requested

 
Section, a “Change of Control” of a Party occurs upon: (a) the closing of a merger or other business combination or transaction that results in any person, directly or indirectly,
acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 50% of such Party’s then outstanding shares of voting capital stock, excluding any such transaction principally for bona fide equity financing purposes, or (b) the closing of a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of such Party to a person in one transaction or in a series of related transactions, excluding any transaction described in clause (a) or (b) in which, immediately after the consummation of such transaction,
the holders of voting capital stock of such Party (or such Party’s ultimate parent entity) immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, (including through one or more Affiliates) more than 50% of the
outstanding voting capital stock of the surviving entity (or the parent of such surviving entity) in such transaction. Each Party must give the other no less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice of any Change in Control of such Party.

  
 12.2.3. By a Party upon written
notice to the other Party in the event of the Insolvency of such other Party. For purposes of this Section only, “Insolvency” of a Party shall exist if a Party: (i) becomes the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceeding, which proceeding continues without being dismissed for a period of at least thirty (30) days; (ii) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, consents to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding; or (iii) admits in writing its inability to generally pay debts when due, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or voluntarily suspends its
payment obligations. 
  
 12.2.4. By
WMOG upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to Genomatica if any claims [...***...] are allowed, which allowed claim(s) do not recite (i) [...***...] or (ii) another claim limitation, acceptable to WMOG in its reasonable
discretion, which would enable the practice of the Program Technology without infringement of the allowed claim(s) of the [...***...], unless prior to the effective date of such termination, (A) Genomatica has obtained a license to the

practice of the Program Technology without infringement of the allowed claim(s) of the [...***...]. If WMOG terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.2.4, it shall not be obligated to pay any milestone achieved on or after the
written notice of termination, or to move to the next Stage, unless and until an event described in clause (A) or (B) occurs prior the effective date of such termination or WMOG otherwise waives such notice of termination in writing. The
Parties agree that all communications between the Parties concerning the infringement or non-infringement of a claim in a [...***...] or patent shall be subject to and protected by a common interest attorney-client privilege. 

 

	13.	 	Survival of Provisions. 

  

The following provisions of this Agreement shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement: Section 5
(Exclusivity) (only for one year following expiration or termination as provided in Section 5); Section 7 (Ownership); Section 8.2 (Commercialization License) (unless this Agreement is terminated prior to achievement of the milestone
for Stage 4); Sections 8.3 (Right of First Offer) and 8.4 (Right of First Offer Procedure) (only for the applicable Right of First Offer Period); Sections 8.5 (Certain Payments to WMOG Outside of the Field), 8.6 (Calculation of Net

(Escalation and Dispute Resolution); Section 13 (Survival Provisions); Section 14 (Limitation of Liability and Damages); Section 15 (Confidentiality); Section 16 (Representations and Warranties); and Section 17
(Miscellaneous). 
  

	14.	 	Limitation of Liability and Damages. 

  

IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER OR ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, BY STATUTE OR UNDER ANY QUASI-CONTRACTUAL THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. The foregoing limitations of
liability and damages will not apply and nothing in this Agreement shall affect either Party’s liability: (i) for any damages caused by the intentional or grossly negligent acts or omissions of such Party; (ii) for breach of any
confidentiality obligation specified herein; or (iii) to the extent prohibited by applicable law. 
  

	15.	 	Confidentiality. 

  

15.1. Nondisclosure. Each Party hereby agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of
[...***...] thereafter it shall not commercialize or disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to its own Personnel having a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of the Program,
provided each Party shall have entered into non-disclosure agreements with its Personnel having obligations of confidentiality as strict as those herein prior to disclosure to such Personnel. Each Party agrees that it will not use or permit its
Personnel to use any Confidential Information for purposes other than in connection with performance of its duties or exercise of its rights under this Agreement. Each Party shall use at least the same degree of care in safeguarding the other
Party’s Confidential Information as it uses in safeguarding its own Confidential Information, but in no event shall a Party use less than reasonable diligence and care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) each Party may disclose the
existence and terms of this Agreement to third parties in connection with due diligence or similar investigations by such third parties, provided that any such third party is (i) bound to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and its
terms in a manner consistent with this Section 15 and (ii) prohibited from using this Agreement or its terms for any purpose beyond the due diligence or similar investigation, and (b) each Party may disclose Confidential Information
of the other Party pursuant to a requirement or request of a governmental agency, pursuant to the rules of any recognized stock exchange or quotation system, or pursuant to a court or administrative subpoena, order or other such legal process or
requirement of law; provided, however, that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) first notify the other of such request or requirement, unless such notice is prohibited by statute, rule or court order; (ii) attempt to
obtain the other Party’s consent to such disclosure; and (iii) in the event consent is not given, agree to allow the disclosing Party to file a motion to quash, or take a similar procedural step to frustrate the production or publication
of information. Nothing herein shall require either Party to fail to honor a subpoena, court or administrative order or requirement on a timely basis. Each Party shall cooperate with the other in an effort to limit the nature and scope of any
required disclosure of Confidential Information and the Parties shall coordinate with each other with respect to the timing, form and content of such required disclosure to the extent practicable under the circumstances, provided that, if the
Parties are unable to agree on the form or content of any required disclosure, such disclosure shall be 

  
 14 

***Confidential Treatment Requested 

 
limited to the minimum required, as determined by the disclosing Party in consultation with its legal counsel. 

 
 15.2. Return or Destruction of
Confidential Information. Upon written demand by the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall: (i) cease using the Confidential Information, (ii) return the Confidential Information and all copies, notes or extracts thereof to the
disclosing Party within seven (7) days of receipt of demand; and (iii) upon request of the disclosing Party, certify in writing that the receiving Party has complied with the obligations set forth in this paragraph. 

 
 15.3. Equitable Remedies.
Notwithstanding any arbitration obligations set forth in this Agreement, each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party’s remedies at law for breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 15 would be
inadequate and, in recognition of that fact, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, it is agreed that, in addition to other remedies to which it may be entitled, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief in the form of
specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction without the necessity of posting bond, or any other equitable remedy which may then be available; provided, that nothing herein contained will be construed as
prohibiting the non-breaching Party from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including recovery of damages from such breaching Party. 

 
 15.4. Independent Development and
Residuals. The terms of confidentiality under this Agreement shall not be construed to limit either Party’s right to develop independently or acquire products without use of the other Party’s Confidential Information. The disclosing
Party acknowledges that the receiving Party may currently or in the future be developing information internally, or receiving information from other Parties, that is similar to the Confidential Information. Accordingly, except as provided in this
Agreement, neither Party shall be prohibited from developing or having developed for it products, concepts, systems or techniques that are similar to or compete with the products, concepts, systems or techniques contemplated by or embodied in the
Confidential Information provided that the receiving Party does not use the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party or otherwise violate any of its obligations under this Agreement in connection with such development. Further, subject to
the other restrictions and limitations contained in this Agreement, the residuals resulting from access to or work with such Confidential Information shall not be considered a breach of the confidentiality obligations contained in this Agreement.
The term “residuals” means non-specific information in non-tangible form, which may be retained by persons who have had access to the Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including general ideas,
concepts, know-how or techniques contained therein. Neither Party shall have any obligation to limit or restrict the assignment of such persons or to pay royalties for any work resulting from the use of residuals. 

 
 15.5. NDA. The terms of this
Section 15 shall supersede the NDA as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. 
  

	16.	 	Representations and Warranties. 

  

16.1. Genomatica’s Representations and Warranties. Genomatica represents and warrants to WMOG as follows:
(a) Genomatica owns or possesses the necessary rights, title and licenses necessary to perform its obligations hereunder or believes it can acquire the foregoing on reasonable terms; and (b) each of its Personnel performing any work under
this Agreement will have entered into a written invention assignment agreement requiring each such individual 

  
 15

engagement.

to practice by, such individual during the term of their employment or engagement. 
  
 16.3. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH REGARD TO THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM OR THE USEFULNESS OF ANY
BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY OR PROGRAM TECHNOLOGY. 
  

	17.	 	Miscellaneous. 

  

17.1. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Unless otherwise expressly provided, no provisions of this Agreement are
intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any person or entity other than Genomatica, WMOG and WMOG’s Affiliates any rights, remedies or other benefits under or by reason of this Agreement. 

 
 17.2. Force Majeure. Neither Party
shall be responsible for delays in performing or from failing to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than any obligation to make payments when due) to the extent the delays or failures result from causes beyond the reasonable control
of the Party, and which the Party could not have prevented using commercially reasonable measures, including, but not limited to, acts of God or of the public enemy, U.S. or foreign governmental actions, labor shortages or strikes, communications or
utility interruption or failure, fire, earthquake, flood, epidemic, and freight embargoes. 
  

17.3. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed according to, and the rights of the Parties shall be
governed by, the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of laws rules. 
  

17.4. Independent Contractor Status. WMOG and Genomatica agree that they shall each perform their duties under this
Agreement as an independent contractor. Personnel employed or retained by each Party who perform duties related to this Agreement shall remain under the supervision, management, and control of such Party. Except as expressly set forth herein,
neither Party shall have any right or authority to create any obligation, warranty, representation or responsibility, whether express or implied, on behalf of the other Party in any manner whatsoever without the expressed written consent of the
other Party. Each Party shall be solely responsible for the compensation of all Personnel who perform any activities on their behalf pursuant to this Agreement or any Development Plan.

Agreement shall be sent by registered or certified mail, personal delivery, overnight commercial carrier, or facsimile. If hand delivered, the notice will be effective upon delivery. If by facsimile, the notice will be effective when sent. If sent

 Any Party may change the
address at which it receives notices by giving written notice to the other Party in the manner prescribed by this Section 17.5. 
  

17.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the Parties with regard to the
subject matter hereof. No other agreements, representations, or 

  
 17 

 
warranties have been made by either Party to the other with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except as referenced herein. 
  
 17.7. Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective
successors, representatives and permitted assigns. Except as set forth herein, neither Party may assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations contained herein, nor may either Party delegate its duties herein, except upon receipt of the other
Party’s written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that a Party may, without the other Party’s consent, assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations contained herein, or delegate its duties
herein, to (i) a successor in interest to all or substantially all of the business of such Party to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise, or (ii) any Affiliate, provided that such
third party successor in interest or Affiliate can reasonably assume all of the obligations of such Party under this Agreement, but nothing in this Section 17.7 restricts the Parties’ right to terminate this Agreement under
Section 12.2.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Genomatica may not assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations contained herein, or delegate its duties herein, to a successor in interest or Affiliate that is a competitor of WMOG without
WMOG’s written approval, which may be withheld in WMOG’s discretion., and for purposes of this provision, a competitor of WMOG shall mean an entity that derives at least 60% of its revenue from a combination of one or more of Waste
collection, transport, disposal and treatment, as measured for the most recently completed four (4) fiscal quarters prior to the date of such assignment or delegation by Genomatica. Exemplary competitors, include, but are not limited to
Republic Services, Inc. and Waste Connections, Inc. Any attempted assignment or delegation without the prior written consent required by this Section 17.7 shall be void and ineffective. 
  
 17.8. Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are found or deemed by a
court to be invalid or unenforceable, they shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, and shall not cause the invalidity or unenforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. 

 
 17.9. Waiver. Neither Party shall by
mere lapse of time without giving notice or taking other action hereunder be deemed to have waived any breach by the other Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement. The waiver by either Party of a particular breach of this Agreement by the
other Party shall not be construed as, or constitute, a continuing waiver of such breach, or of other breaches of the same or other provisions of this Agreement. 

 
 17.10. Amendment. This Agreement and
the Development Plans may be amended only by a subsequent written agreement signed by both Parties which specifically identifies itself as a written amendment to this Agreement or a Development Plan. 

 
 17.11. Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts and all counterparts so executed shall for all purposes constitute one agreement, binding on all Parties. Signature pages may be delivered by facsimile or other electronic means.

SUPPLY RIGHTS AGREEMENT 
  

THIS SUPPLY RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 1st day of December, 2010 by and between Genomatica, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Genomatica”), and Waste Management National Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WM”). Genomatica and WM are occasionally referred to herein individually as a “Party” and
collectively as the “Parties.” 
  

RECITALS: 
  

WHEREAS, as a condition to and simultaneous with the Parties’ execution and delivery of this Agreement, Genomatica and WM Organic
Growth, Inc. (“WMOG”), an Affiliate (as defined in Section 3 below) of WM, are entering into a Joint Development Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “JDA”), that sets forth their respective rights
and obligations with respect to the joint development by Genomatica and WMOG of technology for the production of [...***...] from syngas produced primarily from Waste, as defined in the JDA; 

 
 WHEREAS, WM, through its Affiliates, is in the business of
collecting, sorting and transporting solid waste, and Genomatica expects to require a stable and regular supply of Waste; 
  

WHEREAS, as a condition to Genomatica and WMOG’s execution and delivery of the JDA, the Parties desire to simultaneously enter into
this Agreement regarding the supply by WMOG of Waste for use in the Field and Territory, both as defined in the JDA; and 
  

AGREEMENT: 
  

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Definitions. The following terms are defined in the JDA and used in this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the definitions contained in this Section 1 and the JDA, the
JDA shall control. 
  
 1.1 Field.
“Field” shall mean the production of [...***...] from syngas produced primarily from Waste materials. 
  

1.2 In-Field Commercial Agreement. “In-Field Commercial Agreement” shall mean an agreement entered into by Genomatica,
directly or through any Affiliate of Genomatica, that grants to a third party (excluding WMOG or any Affiliate of WMOG or Genomatica) a license or similar right to use the Program Technology (as defined in the JDA) to produce [...***...]
within the Field and Territory.

		 	***Confidential Treatment Requested

 1.3 Territory. “Territory” shall mean North America (including the U.S.,
Canada and Mexico). 
  
 1.4 Waste.
“Waste” shall mean municipal solid waste; [...***...]. “Agricultural Residues” shall mean by-products from the farming or harvesting of agricultural crops or forestry products. 

 
 2. Agreement by Third Party Licensees. As a condition
to Genomatica entering into an In-Field Commercial Agreement with a third party (a “Third Party Licensee”), such Third Party Licensee must agree to the terms of this Agreement, as may be amended with respect to such Third Party
Licensee upon mutual agreement of WM, WMOG and the Third Party Licensee. 
  
 3. Rights to Supply Feedstock Waste. In the event that (i) WMOG terminates the JDA prior to successful completion of Stage 4 of the JDA, (ii) WMOG does not exercise its option under
Section 8.2 of the JDA, (iii) WMOG and Genomatica are unable to reach agreement and enter into the Commercialization Agreement, as defined in the JDA, under Section 8.2 of the JDA or (iv) the exclusive license under the
Commercialization Agreement becomes non-exclusive, then the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply, provided, however, if WMOG terminates the JDA prior to successful completion of Stage 4 of the JDA, the Right of Last Look set forth in
Section 3.2 shall not apply. 
  
 3.1
Right of First Offer. 
  
 (a) WM shall have
the exclusive right of first offer to supply Genomatica, its Affiliates and its Third Party Licensees (the “Supplied Parties”) with such quantities of Waste as are necessary to satisfy 100% of their Waste requirements for the
production of [...***...] within the Field and Territory using the Program Technology, including any research & development or pilot production requirements (the “Feedstock Waste”). Upon determination by a Supplied
Party that Feedstock Waste (or additional quantities of Feedstock Waste) will be required, the Supplied Party shall deliver to WM a written notice (the “First Offer Notice”) stating, among other things, the location of the facility
requiring Feedstock Waste and the amount of anticipated requirements of Feedstock Waste for a specified period of time (the “Feedstock Requirements”)]. Upon receipt of the First Offer Notice, WM shall have the right within 15 days
following receipt of the First Offer Notice (the “First Offer Period”) to make a written offer (the “First Offer”) to supply all or a portion of the Feedstock Waste to satisfy the Feedstock Requirements, which First
Offer shall set forth the terms and conditions whereby WM is willing to provide the Feedstock Waste [...***...]. If WM delivers to the Supplied Party the First Offer within the First Offer Period, the Supplied Party may either accept or reject
the First Offer within the 15-day period following the Supplied Party’s receipt of the First Offer (the “First Offer Acceptance Period”). If the Supplied Party accepts the First Offer, then the Parties shall proceed with the
execution and delivery of a supply agreement in accordance with Section 5.

		 	***Confidential Treatment Requested

 (b) If (i) WM fails to make a First Offer during the First Offer Period, (ii) the
Supplied Party rejects the First Offer or (iii) the First Offer Acceptance Period expires without the Supplied Party’s acceptance of the First Offer, then the First Offer and all rights under Section 3.1(a) shall expire and the
Supplied Party shall be entitled to solicit offers from third parties, negotiate with third parties and enter into agreements with third parties for the supply of the Feedstock Waste to satisfy the Feedstock Requirements, in accordance with
Section 3.2, as applicable. 
  
 (c) If
WM indicates in the First Offer that it is only able to partially fulfill the Feedstock Requirements, then the Supplied Party shall be entitled to solicit offers from third parties and negotiate and enter into agreements or commitments with third
parties for the supply of any Feedstock Waste it requires in excess of the Feedstock Waste supplied by WM in order to satisfy such excess Feedstock Requirements. 

 
 3.2 Right of Last Look. If (i) WM fails to make a
First Offer during the First Offer Period, (ii) the Supplied Party rejects the First Offer or (iii) the First Offer Acceptance Period expires without the Supplied Party’s acceptance of the First Offer as set forth in
Section 3.1(b), the Supplied Party shall be entitled to approach and negotiate with third parties for supply of the amounts of Feedstock Waste to satisfy the Feedstock Requirements. If the Supplied Party receives a bona fide written
offer from a third party for the supply of the Feedstock Waste (a “Third Party Offer”) which it deems acceptable, the Supplied Party shall promptly submit evidence to WM of such Third Party Offer, and WM shall have 10 days from
receipt thereof (the “Third Party Offer Notice Period”) to give notice to the Supplied Party of whether it shall match the Third Party Offer and supply to the Supplied Party the Feedstock Waste on the terms and conditions as set
forth in the Third Party Offer. If WM gives notice that it shall match the Third Party Offer, then WM and the Third Party shall proceed with the execution and delivery of a supply agreement in accordance with Section 5. If WM gives
notice to the Supplied Party that it declines to match the Third Party Offer, or WM fails to timely respond to the Third Party Offer within the Third Party Offer Notice Period, the Supplied Party may proceed with the execution and delivery of an
agreement to purchase Feedstock Waste from the third party supplier in accordance with the terms of the Third Party Offer, subject to the Minimum Feedstock Waste Pricing Terms set forth in Section 3.3; provided that such agreement
must be executed and delivered within 30 days after the expiration of all applicable periods set forth above (the “Third Party Offer Acceptance Period”). If the Supplied Party does not execute and deliver an agreement with such
third party prior to the expiration of the Third Party Offer Acceptance Period, then the Supplied Party may not enter into any agreement for, or solicit or negotiate offers for, the supply of Feedstock Waste from any third party without complying
again in full with the provisions of Section 3, including, without limitation, the delivery of a new First Offer Notice to WM with respect to the proposed supply of Feedstock Waste. 

 
 3.3 Minimum Feedstock Waste Pricing Terms.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 3.2, in the event that a Third Party Offer contemplates that the third party supplier of Feedstock Waste will pay the Supplied Party a fee (net or inclusive of any shipping, delivery or
transportation costs) for receiving the Feedstock Waste (rather than the Supplied Party paying the supplier a fee for the supply of Feedstock Waste), then WM shall have the right to supply up to the full amount of the Feedstock Requirements at zero
cost per ton of Feedstock Waste to the Supplied Party (the “Minimum Feedstock Waste Pricing 

  

			
	3
		 	

 
Terms”). In the event that WM accepts the Minimum Feedstock Waste Pricing Terms, the Parties shall promptly proceed with the execution and delivery of a supply agreement in accordance
with Section 5, which shall incorporate all of the other terms and conditions as are required by Section 5 hereof. 
  

4. Affiliates. 
  

4.1 WM shall be permitted to cause any of its Affiliates (as defined below) to supply Feedstock Waste or perform other obligations of WM
in satisfaction of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of Genomatica. 
  
 4.2 The term “Affiliate” means any person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with a Party, and for this purpose, “control,”
“controlling” and “controlled by” shall mean the ownership and control of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities or interest in capital or profits of any person or entity, or the right to direct
or control the management or affairs of any person or entity by contract or similar arrangement. Should a Party divest an Affiliate or should an Affiliate cease to satisfy this definition, such Affiliate’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement shall be terminated. 
  
 4.3 Genomatica
shall cause each of its Affiliates producing [...***...] within the Field and the Territory to be bound by the same obligations as set forth in Section 2. 

 
 4.4 The obligations of Section 3 shall apply to
any subcontractor or vendor or other party that purchases Feedstock Waste on behalf of a Supplied Party or supplies syngas produced primarily from Waste to a Supplied Party for use in the Field in the Territory. 

 
 5. Supply Agreement. If WM shall be the supplier of
Feedstock Waste to the Supplied Party as a result of the Supplied Party’s acceptance of the First Offer, WM’s match of the Third Party Offer or WM’s acceptance of the Minimum Feedstock Pricing Terms as set forth in
Section 3, the Parties shall enter into a supply agreement setting forth the terms and conditions regarding the supply and purchase of the Feedstock Waste (the “Supply Agreement”), which Supply Agreement shall be
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. 
  
 6. Term and Termination. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and terminate fifteen (15) years following the effective date of this Agreement, unless earlier terminated under
Section 10 of this Agreement or by Genomatica in the event Genomatica terminates the JDA in accordance with Section 12.2 of the JDA. 
  

7. Confidentiality. The Parties agree that all proprietary and other confidential information disclosed by either Party to the
other in connection with this Agreement, if any, including, shall be held in strict confidence by the receiving Party and shall not be disclosed by such Party to any third party, except (a) as may be required by court order, laws or regulations
or any governmental authority, (b) to such party’s employees, auditors, consultants, banks, financial advisors and legal advisors, (c) information that becomes publicly available through no breach of this Agreement,
(d) information which becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a third party.

		 	***Confidential Treatment Requested

 8. Independent Contractor. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to
create any partnership or joint venture between any of Genomatica, WM, their Affiliates, and a Third Party Licensee. All activities by one Party under the terms of this Agreement shall be carried on by such Party as an independent contractor and not
as an agent for or employee of the other Party. Under no circumstances shall any employee of one Party who is performing services under this Agreement be deemed or construed to be an employee of the other Party. 

 
 9. Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon
the Parties and their respective successors, representatives and permitted assigns. Except as set forth herein, neither Party may assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations contained herein, nor may either Party delegate its duties herein,
except upon receipt of the other Party’s written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that a Party may, without the other Party’s consent, assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations contained
herein, or delegate its duties herein, to (i) a successor in interest to all or substantially all of the business of such Party to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise, or (ii) any
Affiliate, provided that such third party successor in interest or Affiliate can reasonably assume all of the obligations of such Party under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Genomatica may not assign this Agreement or its rights and
obligations contained herein, or delegate its duties herein, to a successor in interest or Affiliate that is a competitor of WM without WM’s written approval, which may be withheld in WM’s discretion, and for purposes of this provision, a
competitor of WM shall mean an entity that derives at least 60% of its revenue from a combination of one or more of Waste collection, transport, disposal and treatment, as measured for the most recently completed four (4) fiscal quarters prior
to the date of such assignment or delegation by Genomatica. Exemplary competitors, include, but are not limited to Republic Services, Inc. and Waste Connections, Inc.] Any attempted assignment or delegation without the prior written consent required
by this Section 9 shall be void and ineffective. 
  
 10. Termination for Change of Control. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9, either Party may terminate this Agreement, without liability, by providing a notice of termination to the
other Party within thirty (30) days of notice of a Change of Control of such other Party, which termination shall be effective upon closing of such Change of Control. For purposes of this Section, a “Change of Control” of a Party
occurs upon: (a) the closing of a merger or other business combination or transaction that results in any person, directly or indirectly, acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 50% of such Party’s then outstanding shares of voting
capital stock, excluding any such transaction principally for bona fide equity financing purposes, or (b) the closing of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party to a person in one transaction or in a series of related
transactions, excluding any transaction described in clause (a) or (b) in which, immediately after the consummation of such transaction, the holders of voting capital stock of such Party (or such Party’s ultimate parent entity)
immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, (including through one or more Affiliates) more than 50% of the outstanding voting capital stock of the surviving entity (or the parent of such surviving entity) in such
transaction. Each Party must give the other no less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice of any Change in Control of such Party. 
  

11. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and
their Affiliates, and each of their respective permitted successors and assigns.

 12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, in the case of Genomatica and WM together with
the JDA, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior communications, representations or agreements, whether written or oral, to the extent such terms are different from or
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. 
  

13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  
 14. Governing Law, Venue. This Agreement shall be subject to the laws of the State of New York, excluding any choice of law rules that would direct application of the law of any other jurisdiction.
Any final judgment entered against a Party in any proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment. The parties (a) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the
state courts of the [...***...] and to the jurisdiction of the United States federal courts located within the [...***...] for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement,
(b) agree not to commence any suit, action, or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in the state courts of the [...***...] or the United States federal courts located within the [...***...], and
(c) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action, or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is
exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action, or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action, or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be
enforced in or by such court. 
  
 15. No Third
Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not create any rights in favor of any party other than Genomatica, WM, their respective Affiliates and any Third Party Licensee signatories to this Agreement. 

 
 16. Notices. All notices under this Agreement shall be
in writing and shall be deemed duly given on (a) the date of personal or courier delivery; (b) the date of transmission by telecopy or other electronic transmission service, with proof of transmission; or (c) three (3) business
days after the date of deposit in the United States mail, by postage paid, return receipt requested first-class mail, addressed as follows:

 17. Modifications. No
modification, amendment, extension, renewal, decision, termination or waiver of any provision contained herein shall be binding upon either Party unless in writing and signed on its behalf by an authorized signatory. 

 
 18. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement,
or any portion thereof, is invalid or unenforceable under any statute, regulation, ordinance, executive order or other rule of law, such provision, or portion thereof, shall be deemed reformed or deleted, but only to the extent necessary to comply
with such statute, regulation, ordinance, order or rule, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
  

19. Waiver of Rights and Remedies. No waiver of any obligation or rights of any Party hereunder shall be effective unless in
writing, specifying such waiver, executed by the Party making such waiver. A waiver by a Party of any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement on any occasion shall not be a waiver to a continuing breach and shall not be a bar to the exercise
of the same right or remedy on a subsequent occasion or of any other right or remedy at any time. 
  
 20. Escalation and Dispute Resolution. 
  
 20.1 Escalation/Informal Dispute Resolution. Both Parties agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to work out issues that arise in connection with the performance of this Agreement and any
Development Plan and the negotiations of the Commercialization License. In the event that a dispute arises between the Parties under this Agreement or any Development Plan (each a “Dispute”), the matter shall first be escalated to the
Program Managers in an attempt to settle such Dispute through consultation and negotiation in good faith. If the Program Managers are unable to resolve the Dispute within [...***...], each Party shall appoint an additional senior executive to
serve with the Program Managers as a committee for resolution of the Dispute, which committee shall further

		 	***Confidential Treatment Requested

 
attempt to settle such Dispute through consultation and negotiation in good faith. If the above procedures have not resulted in a mutually acceptable resolution of the issue within
[...***...] of the Dispute first being addressed by the Program Managers, either Party may seek resolution of the Dispute through binding arbitration pursuant to Section 21.2 below. 
  
 20.2 Arbitration. The Parties stipulate and agree that if they are unable to resolve any Dispute as
contemplated by Section 20.1 hereof, then such Dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration conducted in [...***...] by a panel of three (3) arbitrators in accordance with and subject to the Commercial Arbitration Rules
of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. Following notice of a Party’s election to require arbitration, each Party shall within thirty (30) days select and identify in writing to the other Party one
(1) arbitrator, and those two (2) arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days thereafter select a third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators are unable to agree on a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days, the AAA shall within
thirty (30) days thereafter select such third arbitrator. Discovery as permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure then in effect shall be allowed in connection with arbitration to the extent consistent with the purpose of the arbitration
and as allowed by the arbitrators. Judgment upon the award rendered in any arbitration may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an enforcement, as the
law of the state having jurisdiction may require or allow. The fact that arbitration is or may be allowed shall not impair the exercise of any termination rights under this Agreement. 
  
 20.3 Exceptions to Arbitration. The only circumstance in which Disputes between the Parties will not be
subject to the provisions of Sections 20.1 and 20.2 above is where a Party makes a good faith determination that a breach of the terms of the Agreement or Development Plan is such that damage resulting from the breach will be so immediate,
irreparable, severe, or otherwise incapable of adequate redress that a temporary restraining order or other immediate injunctive relief is the only adequate remedy for such breach. 

 
 20.4 Continued Performance. Except where prevented
from doing so by the matter in dispute, the Parties agree to continue performing their obligations under this Agreement while any good faith Dispute is being resolved unless and until such obligations are terminated by the termination or expiration
of this Agreement.

 A-2

 8. UNCONTROLLABLE CIRCUMSTANCES. Provided that the requirements of this Section are
met, neither Party shall be considered in default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (not including the obligation to make payments) to the extent that such performance is prevented or impaired by the occurrence of
Uncontrollable Circumstances. If, as a result of an event of Uncontrollable Circumstances, either Party is wholly or partially unable to meet its obligations under this Agreement, then it shall give the other Party prompt written notice of such
event, describing it in reasonable detail. The obligations under this Agreement of the affected Party shall be suspended, other than for payment of monies due, but only with respect to the particular component of obligations affected by the event
and only for the period during which the event of Uncontrollable Circumstances exists. 
  
 9. TERMINATION; DEFAULT. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon giving the other Party written notice if the other Party (i) fails to make any payment required

handling, storage, transportation, processing and/or disposal of Waste, or (iii) defaults in the performance of any other material obligation of the defaulting Party under this Agreement and fails to cure such default within thirty
(30) days after receiving written notice thereof from the non-defaulting Party, provided, that, with regard to defaults identified in clause (iii) above, in the event the defaulting Party shows cause why it should be entitled to reasonable

its defense costs incurred prior to resolution. 
  

11.3 Insurance. The indemnification obligation hereunder shall arise only in excess of any available and collectible insurance
proceeds and the Party indemnifying the other Party shall be liable hereunder to pay only its share of the amount of Damages, if any, that exceeds the total amount that all insurance has paid for the Damages, plus the total amount of all deductible
and self-insured expenses paid under all insurance policies. 
  
 11.4 Exclusion of Certain Damages. Neither Party will be liable to the other Party for consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or indirect damages, lost profits or revenues (except as part
of direct damages) or other indirect damages claimed in contract, equity, strict liability or indemnity, by statute or otherwise. 
  

12. BINDING EFFECT, ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their
respective heirs, successors and assigns provided that the rights, obligations and duties of each Party as specified in this Agreement may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise vested in any other company, entity, or person without the prior
written approval of the other Party which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier may assign or transfer its rights and obligations hereunder to an affiliate of Supplier or a subsidiary of Supplier’s
parent company without seeking or obtaining the approval of the Owner. 
  
 13. NOTICES. All notices required under this Agreement shall be personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or sent by overnight carrier, or

 ***Confidential Treatment Requested 

 15. NON-WAIVER. The failure of either Party to enforce its rights under any provision
of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other breach. 

 
 16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all other communications, representations, proposals, understandings or agreements, either written or oral, between the parties hereto
with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, in whole or in part, except by a writing signed by both Parties hereto. 
  

17. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to
be severed from this Agreement and shall not affect the remainder hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect; however, the Parties shall amend this Agreement to give effect, to the maximum extent allowed by law, to the intent and meaning of
the severed provision. 
  
 18. GOVERNING LAW.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
