 Dear Linda, 

We are pleased to offer to you the position of General Counsel with Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”), reporting to Pam Marrone, CEO and
Founder. Your start date is March 17, 2014. Your first six months on the job will be considered an introductory period. 
 You will receive a base
salary of $225,000 on an annualized basis. Subject to the approval of our Board of Directors, you will be granted an option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The price per share of any approved option will be the closing
price of our common stock as of your start date. Your entitlement to any stock option that may be approved is, of course, conditioned upon your signing of an Award Agreement and will be subject to its terms and the terms of our 2014 Stock Incentive
Plan. The option will vest over a period of four (4) years. One year from the date of grant of the option, 25% of the total shares will be vested. Such option will continue to vest over the remaining 3 years on a pro-rata basis equally each
month over the period following the date of grant (2.083% per month over 36 months). You must be continually employed by the Company for the option to continue to vest. 

You will be eligible to participate in the Company Bonus Plan, which changes from year to year, based on company and individual goals. Your portion of the
2014 bonus program will be paid on a pro-rata basis for the portion of the year worked for the Company. Your bonus can be up to 30% of your salary. 
 We
will also provide you up to $10,000 moving allowance for your relocation expenses from San Mateo to Davis, paid by the company, from receipts or direct with the moving company, plus one (1) month of temporary housing paid for by the company.
Should you leave the Company voluntarily before completing 12 months of service you agree to pay back a pro rata portion of the relocation expenses. For example, if you were to leave after 9 months you would owe back 25% of the moving expenses. 

MBI will provide you with a company cell phone, laptop computer (choice of Mac or PC), and iPad. 

You should be aware that your employment with the Company is for no specified period and constitutes at-will employment. As a result, you are free to resign
at any time, for any reason or for no reason. We prefer, that if you resigned you would provide a four-week notice. Similarly, the Company is free to conclude its employment relationship with you at any time, with or without cause. However, in the
event that your employment is actually or constructively terminated by the Company without cause (whether or not occurring in connection with a change of control of the Company) the Company will continue to pay for Salary, Life, Medical, Dental and
Disability coverage for a period of six (6) months post termination.

your employment:

you contribute 5% of your salary). 

 You will be entitled 3 weeks of vacation, which is accrued at 5.00 hours per pay period, which is
equivalent to 120 hours on an annual basis. 
 All the benefit programs and plans are offered solely at the discretion of the Company and may be added to,
deleted from, or modified at any time and for any reason. In addition to a timely response, this offer is contingent upon successfully passing a background check, which may include work references, criminal, and education credential checks. For

Linda V. Moore 
 Dear Linda, 

The role you perform with the Company is critical for our success going forward. Given your knowledge, skills, and leadership abilities, we
believe you are an important member of our team and we wish for you to remain in this critical position. Accordingly, as an additional inducement for you to remain in the service of Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”), we
are offering the following. 
 Salary Increase: Effective February 9, 2015, your base salary will be increased to $240,000 which will be first
reflected in your March 15, 2015 paycheck. 
 Severance and Deal Payment: 

 

	 	(a)	If a CIC occurs after the date hereof pursuant to a definitive binding agreement that is signed by the Company within 9 months of the date of this letter, then upon the closing of the CIC you will receive a lump sum
equal to 12 month’s base salary as of the date thereof so long as (i) you are employed by the Company at the time of the closing of the CIC transaction and (ii) you execute a general release of claims in form satisfactory to the
Company effective as of the date of the closing of the CIC. 

  

	 	(b)	For purposes of this agreement a “CIC” is defined as any transaction or series of related transactions involving the sale or other disposition of more than 50% of the Company’s full-diluted equity
securities or all or substantially all of its assets, whether directly or indirectly and through any form of transaction. 

  

	 	(c)	The severance provision in your existing employment offer letter dated February 20, 2014 which provides for 6 months’ severance if “employment is actually or constructively terminated by the Company
without cause” (a Non-Cause Termination) will remain in effect, as supplemented by item (d) below. 

  

	 	(d)	If a CIC occurs after the date hereof which is not pursuant to a definitive binding agreement that is signed within 9 months of the date of this letter, and within 12 months following the CIC a Non-Cause Termination
occurs, then in addition to the severance granted in your existing offer letter described above, you will receive an additional lump sum payment equal to three (3) month’s salary, based on your base salary on the date of the Non-Cause
Termination. 

  

	 	(e)	Any additional severance described in item (d) above will be paid in a lump sum. Severance under item (c) above will commence, and the additional lump sum payment under item (d) above will be paid, sixty
(60) days after a qualifying termination, contingent on a general release of claims in form satisfactory to the Company having become effective at the time. To the extent the severance payments constitute deferred compensation within the
meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 409A, severance will be delayed for six (6) months to the extent required to avoid a violation of section 409A.

the terms of this Paragraph 5, this Agreement shall be null and void. 
 Employment At Will: This Agreement is not a
guarantee of employment for a specific period of time. You should understand that you will continue to be an employee at-will, which means either you or the Company may terminate your employment for any reason, at any time, with or without cause or
advance notice. Please understand that no supervisor, manager or representative of the Company other than the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has the authority to enter into any agreement with you for employment for any specified period of
