3.    Conversion Rights; Adjustments.  The Holders of the Notes shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a)    Holder’s Right to Convert.  Holder shall have the option to convert this Note as follows:
(i)    At any time after the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Issue Date and prior to the fifth Trading Day prior to the Final Maturity Date, Holder shall have the right to convert the then applicable Balance of this Note, in whole or in part, at the option of the Holder hereof, at any time within the period specified above and from time to time into a number of fully paid, nonassessable and authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (x) the Balance proposed to be converted at such date by (y) the then effective Conversion Price (as defined below) on the Conversion Date (as defined below) (each such conversion, an “Optional 12-Month Conversion”);

(ii)    At any time if a Change of Control occurs prior to the Final Maturity Date, then the Company shall provide Holder written notice of such Change of Control at least twenty (20) days prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and Holder shall have the right to convert the then applicable Balance of this Note, in whole or in part, at the option of Holder, at any time and from time to time until the fifteenth (15th) day following receipt of such notice of such Change of Control, into a number of fully paid, nonassessable and authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (x) the Balance proposed to be converted at such date by (y) the then effective Conversion Price on the Conversion Date (such conversion, an “Optional COC Conversion”); or
(iii)    At any time if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to Section 5(c) hereof, Holder shall have the right to convert the then applicable Balance of this Note, in whole or in part, at the option of Holder, at any time and from time to time while such Event of Default is continuing, into a number of fully paid, nonassessable and authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (x) the Balance proposed to be converted at such date by (y) the then effective Conversion Price on the Conversion Date (such conversion, an “Optional EOD Conversion”, and together with an Optional 12-Month Conversion and an Optional COC Conversion, “Holder’s Optional Conversion”).
(b)    Conversion Price.  The “Conversion Price” at which Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of the Notes (the “Conversion Price”) shall initially be the US$2.87.  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 a Holder’s Optional Conversion, the Holder shall deliver written notice in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Company stating that such Holder elects to convert all or part of the then outstanding Balance of this Note.  Such notice shall state the portion of the Balance of this Note which the Holder 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 Holder shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the underlying Common Stock as of such date.
(ii)    The Holder of this Note 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 each Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder 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 a Holder in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unconverted portion of the Balance of the Note so surrendered.  In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Notes, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Holder, the Company may, at its election (and shall, if practicable and upon the reasonable request of any Holder after

the date six months after the initial issuance of this Note, and if the Holder is not an “affiliate” of the Company (as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note to the Holder, by crediting the account of Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system, if such DWAC system is available for the issuance of such shares of Common Stock under the terms of this Note and the Agreement.  The time periods for delivery described above shall apply to the electronic transmittals through the DWAC system.  The parties agree to coordinate with DTC to accomplish this objective.  The conversions pursuant to this Section 3 shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the opening of business on the applicable Conversion Date.  The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated as the beneficial owner of such shares of Common Stock at the opening of business on the applicable Conversion Date
(iii)    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 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 Notes.  In no event shall the Conversion Price be reduced to an amount less than the then par value of the Common Stock.
(iv)    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.
(v)    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 Holders thereof to receive (A) shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, (B) any accrued and unpaid interest, if applicable, as described in Section 5(c), and (C) if applicable, cash for any fractional shares of Common Stock.  Any Notes, to the extent so converted, shall be retired and canceled.
(vi)    If any conversion pursuant to this Section 3 is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act or a Change of Control, the conversion may, at the option of any Holder tendering Notes for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter of the sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable to such Holder in connection with such conversion pursuant to such offering, or the closing of such Change of Control, as applicable, in which event the Holders entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Notes shall not be deemed to have converted such Notes until immediately prior to the closing of the sale of securities or consummation of the Change of Control, as applicable.
(d)    Adjustment for Dilutive Issuances.  If prior to the repayment or conversion of this Note the Company shall sell, in a bona fide capital raising transaction for cash consideration (including cancellation of pre-existing Debt as payment of consideration), any shares of, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of, any

class or series of the Company’s capital stock (the “Securities”) at a per share purchase price (including any applicable conversion or exercise price) equal to an amount less than the effective Conversion Price on the date of such issuance, then such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Securities shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance, to the consideration per share received by the Company for such issue or the deemed issue of the Securities.  If such per share consideration is not a cash amount, then the value of such per share consideration shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(e)    Adjustment for Issuances to Total.  If the Company shall permit Total to exchange Total Notes in connection with any future issuance by the Company of Securities (other than the issuance of Total Notes or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof pursuant to the Total Purchase Agreement or the issuance of Notes or Tranche I Notes (as defined in the Agreement) or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof pursuant to the Agreement), whereby the Company shall issue to Total in exchange for such Total Notes a number of Securities in excess of Total’s Pro Rata Share (as defined in the Master Framework Agreement), then the then effective Conversion Price of this Note, any other Note and any Tranche I Note held by Holder as of immediately prior to such exchange (collectively, the “Holder Notes”) shall be adjusted pro rata based on the principal amount of each such Holder Note, such that the Holder Notes then outstanding shall be convertible in aggregate into an additional number of shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between (i) the actual number of Securities issued to Total in exchange for such Total Notes and (ii) Total’s Pro Rata Share of such Securities.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment under this Section 3(e) will apply to any Note or Tranche I Note held by Total.
(f)    Adjustment for Share Splits and Combinations.  If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.  If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price 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.
(g)    Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date 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 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 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.
(h)    Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution.  If the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of shares, whether by capital reorganization, 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 Holder of each Note (whether then outstanding or thereafter issued) shall have the right thereafter to convert such Note 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 all such Notes 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.
(i)    Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Asset Sales.  If at any time after the Issue Date 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, provision shall be made so that the Holders of Notes will thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Notes 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 Holders of Notes 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 shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes) and the provisions of the Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement will be 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.

(j)    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 Holders of the Notes against impairment to the extent required hereunder.
(k)    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 each Holder, if any, of Notes outstanding 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.

(b)    On or before the earlier of fifteen (15) days prior to the Final Maturity Date (if a Change of Control will occur prior to the Final Maturity Date), and thirty (30) days following the consummation of a Change of Control, the Company shall give to all Holders of Notes notice (the “Change of Control Notice”) of the occurrence of the Change of Control and of the Holder’s right to receive the Change of Control Payment arising as a result thereof.  Each notice of the Holder’s right to participate in the Change of Control Offer (the “Change of Control Repurchase Right”) shall be mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their last address as shown in the Note Register and shall state:
(i)    the date on which the Notes shall be repurchased (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), which date shall be no earlier than fifteen (15) days and no later than sixty (60) days from the date of the Company’s delivery of the Change of Control Notice;
(ii)    the date by which the Change of Control Repurchase Right must be exercised, which date shall be no earlier than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Change of Control Payment Date;

(v)    the Conversion Price then in effect and the place where such Notes may be surrendered for conversion.
No failure by the Company to give the Change of Control Notice and no defect in any Change of Control Notice shall limit any Holder’s right to exercise its Change of Control Repurchase Right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Notes.
If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this Section 4 are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.
(c)    To exercise the Change of Control Repurchase Right, a Holder shall deliver to the Company, on or before the Trading Day immediately prior to the Change of

Control Payment Date, (i) written notice of the Holder’s exercise of such right, which notice shall set forth the name of the Holder, the Balance of Notes held by such Holder to be repurchased, and a statement that an election to exercise the Change of Control Repurchase Right is being made thereby, and (ii) the Notes with respect to which the Change of Control Repurchase Right is being exercised.  Such written notice shall be irrevocable, except that the right of the Holder to convert the Notes shall continue until midnight (Eastern Time) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Repurchase Date.
(c)    On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and (ii) deliver cash in the amount of the Change of Control Payment to each Holder in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered.

(e)    The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control.
(f)    Any Note which is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Company and the Company shall execute and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered.  Any Notes surrendered to the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 shall be retired and cancelled.
(g)    The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.
5.    Events of Default.  Definitions.  For purposes of this Note, the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:
(i)    default in payment when due (whether at the Final Maturity Date or upon an earlier repurchase) of the then applicable Balance on this Note;
(ii)    failure by the Company for thirty (30) days after notice from the Holders of at least 50% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes to comply with the provisions of Section 4 or Section 6 of this Note;

(iii)    failure by the Company for sixty (60) days after notice from the Holders of at least 50% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes to comply with any of its other agreements in this Note or the Agreement (other than Section 8.6(a) of the Agreement);
(iv)    default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Debt for money borrowed by the Company (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company, whether such Debt or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the Issue Date, which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Debt prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Debt on the date of such default or (b) results in the acceleration of such Debt prior to its express maturity and, in each case in clause (a) or (b), the principal amount of any such Debt, together with the principal amount of any other such Debt that has not been paid when due, or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10,000,000 or more;
(v)    failure by the Company to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $10,000,000, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of sixty (60) days;

(A)    commences a voluntary case under any Bankruptcy Law,
(B)    consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case under any Bankruptcy Law,

(D)    makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
(E)    is unable to pay its debts as they become due; or

(c)    Acceleration.  If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Holders of at least 50% of the then applicable Balance of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, which Notes shall then be immediately payable in, at the election of each Holder, either cash or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(a)(iii) hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 5(vi) or (vii) with respect to the Company, all outstanding notes will become due and payable without further action or notice.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate of the then applicable Balance of the then outstanding Notes may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

(d)    Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate of the then applicable Balance of the then outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Note except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the Balance of the Notes and/or any applicable premium required in connection with a Change of Control Payment.  Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Note, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
(e)    Control by Majority.  Holders of a majority in aggregate of the then applicable Balance of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available upon an Event of Default.
(f)    Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, the right of the Holder of this Note to receive payment of the Balance of this Note, any interest required in connection with Section 5(c), and/or any applicable premium required in connection with a Change of Control Payment, on or after the respective due dates expressed in this Note (including in connection with a redemption or an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

(b)    Debt in existence on the Issue Date or which as of the Issue Date the Company is obligated to issue thereafter, including Total Notes pursuant to the Total Purchase Agreement;
(c)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Debt represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(y) in the case of any refinancing of Debt which is subordinated to the Notes, the refinancing Debt is incurred by the Company and is subordinated to the Notes in a manner that is at least as favorable to the Holders as that of the Debt refinanced; (B) refinancing Debt with respect to Debt incurred pursuant to clause (c) of this paragraph shall not be secured by a Lien on any assets other than the assets securing the Debt so refinanced, and any improvements or additions thereto, and (C) the refinancing Debt by its terms, or by the terms of any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Debt is issued, does not have a final maturity prior to the final maturity of the Debt being refinanced.
For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6, in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described in the above clauses the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify, and from time to time may reclassify, such item of Debt.

(iii) The Agreement establishes under Section 3.12 that the Company shall be the owner of the first plant in Brazil specifically built to produce JV Products, subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Agreement and its Schedules;

(iv) Amyris decided to build and started to operate a plant in the city of Brotas, State of São Paulo (“Brotas Mill”), in order to manufacture Farnesene before the beginning of the operation of the JV Plant; 

(v) At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on February 24, 2012, the Board approved the temporary suspension of the construction of the JV Plant, based on Amyris’ recommendation/strategic decision;

(vi) The construction of the JV Plant is still suspended and as a result it will not be possible to meet the goal established in Section 3.13 of the Agreement to have the Company operational and able to produce the JV Products by December 31, 2013 at the latest; and

(vii) The Parties have agreed to extend the deadline set forth under Section 3.13 of the Agreement, provided that certain additional conditions are met.

I – DEFINITIONS

1. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement and in the Shareholders’ Agreement.

II – SPECIAL RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY

III – RESUMPTION OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE JV PLANT

3.1. As per the decision of the Board of Directors of the Company on February 24, 2012, the construction of the JV Plant was temporarily suspended. In this regard, the Parties agree that the resumption of the construction of the JV Plant shall only commence after it has been approved by SMSA. As a consequence, an express approval of SMSA for the resumption of the construction of the JV Plant shall be considered a condition precedent. However, the express approval for the resumption of the construction of the JV Plant cannot be hold nor denied without reasonable justification by SMSA.

3.1.1. SMSA shall receive the following set of documents/information from Amyris based on the periodic evaluations of Brotas Mill at the earliest possible time but in no event later than March 31, 2015 to make a decision about the resumption of the construction of the JV Plant. As a consequence, bearing in mind the statement from Section 3.1 above, the parties have also agreed that in case Amyris has met the criteria foreseen by this 3.1.1 and items (i), (ii), (iii) below, SMSA shall provide its final approval, agreeing with the resumption of the construction of the JV Plant. On the other hand, in case Amyris has not timely met the criteria foreseen by items (i), (ii) and (iii) (i.e, cumulatively all the criteria set forth in of all of these items), SMSA shall have a reasonable justification to deny its approval for the resumption of the construction of the plant.
 
(i) [*]  The achievement of these parameters shall be monitored by specialists indicated by SMSA using audit systems chosen by mutual agreement of the Parties.

(iii) Evidence of the successful solution of the effluents and solids waste treatment. The liquid effluents like the ‘vinasse’ of the process as well as other spent waters shall be completely identified from the chemical and physical point of view and the management of these effluents must be well defined in accordance with the pertinent legislation stated by environmental authorities and the CTNBIO. It is also mandatory to specify the destination of the solids wastes, mainly what will be the destination of the spent yeasts after their inactivation and its market potential and selling value.

For purpose of SMSA’s approval for the resumption of the construction of the JV Plant as set forth in sections 3.1 and 3.1.1 above, the Parties agree that a 5% (five percent) downwards variation to the rates indicated in item (i) of section 3.1.1 above shall be allowed. However, if the rates vary more than 5% downwards, then, Amyris shall provide SMSA with

strong evidence that up to the beginning of the operation of the JV Plant, satisfactory performance of the Amyris Technology according to the rates above will be achieved. In such case, and depending on the evidence provided by Amyris, SMSA, at its sole discretion, may authorize or not the resumption of the construction of the JV Plant.

3.1.3. In order to keep track developments on the matters listed above, SMSA shall have the right to send a representative to visit Amyris Brasil and Brotas Mill premises and to have access to all information related to the matters above. Visits must be informed by SMSA no less than 3 days in advance of the day intended for the visit.

3.1.4.

However, in case this goal cannot be met and by March 31, 2017, at the latest, the Company is still not operational and producing JV Products, SMSA shall have the right to terminate the Joint Venture, by means of written notice to Amyris and, in this case, as the sole remedy for such delay, (i) all Ancillary Agreements and the Shareholders Agreement shall be terminated without penalty; (ii) Amyris Brasil shall buy SMSA’s equity for its corresponding acquisition cost; and (iii) Amyris Brasil shall transfer the Company’s assets and headquarter to other location within one hundred and eighty (180) days from the event (in case there is no asset to be transferred, the Company’s headquarters shall be transferred by Amyris Brasil to other location within thirty (30) days from the event).

Such facility would be built entirely at SMSA’s expense. Amyris would retain exclusive distribution rights over the Amyris Renewable Products produced at this facility upon economic term not less favorable than the best terms that Amyris has in place with third parties at that time production commences, to be calculated with “Schedule 7.1.” attached hereto.
