Bank is entitled hereunder and to endorse and deliver any evidence of title incidental thereto; and (o) to do all acts and things and execute all documents in the name of Debtor or otherwise, deemed by Bank as necessary, proper and convenient
in connection with the preservation, perfection or enforcement of its rights hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank may exercise the powers described in the following above-listed subdivisions of this paragraph 7, regardless of whether an
Event of Default exists: (b) as it relates to giving notice of Bank’s rights; (f); and (h) as it relates to the preservation or perfection of Bank’s rights hereunder; provided however that nothing herein is Intended to prevent
Bank from exercising powers granted to it by Debtor under any other loan document, agreement relating to the Securities Account or other agreement with Debtor. 

8. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS, TAXES, CHARGES, LIENS AND ASSESSMENTS. Debtor agrees to pay, prior to delinquency, all insurance premiums, taxes, charges, liens and
assessments against the Collateral and Proceeds, and upon the failure of Debtor to do so, Bank at its option may pay any of them and shall be the sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same. Any such
payments made by Bank shall be obligations of Debtor to Bank, due and payable immediately upon demand, together with interest at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and shall be secured by the Collateral and
Proceeds, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an
“Event of Default” under this Agreement: (a) any defined event of default under any contract or instrument evidencing any Indebtedness secured hereby, including without limitation any loan agreement relating to or executed in
connection with any Indebtedness secured hereby; (b) any default in the payment or performance of any obligation under any control, custodial or other similar agreement in effect among Bank, Debtor and intermediary relating to the Collateral,
and such default is not cured within any cure period applicable thereto; (c) any representation or warranty made by Debtor herein shall prove to be incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect when made; (d) Debtor shall fail to
observe or perform any obligation or agreement contained herein and such failure is not cured within any cure period applicable thereto; and (e) any impairment of the rights of Bank in any Collateral or Proceeds, or any attachment or like levy
on any Collateral or Proceeds, and such impairment, attachment or levy is not cured within any cure period applicable thereto. 
 10. REMEDIES. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default (which is not cured within any applicable cure period), Bank shall have the right to declare immediately due and payable all or any Indebtedness secured hereby and to terminate any commitments to make loans or
otherwise extend credit to Debtor. Bank shall have all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the California Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise provided by law, including without limitation, the
right (a) to contact all persons obligated to Debtor on any Collateral or Proceeds and to instruct such persons to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds directly to Bank, and (b) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any or all
Collateral. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Bank shall be cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Bank in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power,
privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. Any
waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Bank of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing. It is agreed that public
or private sales or other dispositions, for cash or on credit, to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of property of the types subject to this Agreement, or public auctions, are all commercially reasonable since differences In the prices
generally realized in the different kinds of dispositions are ordinarily offset by the differences in the costs and credit risks of such dispositions, 

  
 -3- 

 
While an Event of Default exists: (a) Debtor will deliver to Bank from time to time, as requested by Bank, current lists of all Collateral and Proceeds; (b) Debtor will not dispose of
any Collateral or Proceeds except on terms approved by Bank; (c) Bank may, at any time and at Bank’s sole option, liquidate any time deposits pledged to Bank hereunder and apply the Proceeds thereof to payment of the indebtedness, whether
or not said time deposits have matured and notwithstanding the fact that such liquidation may give rise to penalties for early withdrawal of funds; and (d) at Bank’s request, Debtor will assemble and deliver all Collateral and Proceeds,
and books and records pertaining thereto, to Bank at a reasonably convenient place designated by Bank. Debtor further agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to process or prepare any Collateral for sale or other disposition. 

11. DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. In disposing of Collateral hereunder, Bank may disclaim all warranties of title,
possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any disposition of any Collateral or Proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by Bank to the payment of expenses incurred by Bank in connection with the foregoing, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by Bank toward the payment of the Indebtedness in such order of application as Bank may from time to time elect. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the Indebtedness, Bank may
transfer all or any part of the Collateral or Proceeds and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights and powers
of Bank hereunder with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred; but with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds not so transferred Bank shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies herein given. 

12. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full and all commitments by Bank to extend credit to Debtor have been terminated,
the power of sale or other disposition and all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to Bank hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Bank at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that the
indebtedness or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations, or that the personal liability of Debtor may have ceased, unless such liability shall have ceased due to the payment in full of all Indebtedness secured
hereunder. 
 13. MISCELLANEOUS. When there is more than one Debtor named herein: (a) the word “Debtor” shall mean all or any one or more of
them as the context requires; (b) the obligations of each Debtor hereunder are joint and several; and (c) until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, no Debtor shall have any right of subrogation or contribution, and each Debtor
hereby waives any benefit of or right to participate in any of the Collateral or Proceeds or any other security now or hereafter held by Bank. Debtor hereby waives any right to require Bank to (I) proceed against Debtor or any other person,
(ii) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security from Debtor or any other person, (iii) perform any obligation of Debtor with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds, and (d) make any presentment or demand, or give any
notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection with any Collateral or Proceeds. Debtor further waives any right to direct the application of payments or security for any
Indebtedness of Debtor or indebtedness of customers of Debtor. 
 14. NOTICES. All notices, requests and demands required under this Agreement must be in
writing, addressed to Bank at the address specified in any other loan documents entered into between Debtor and Bank and to Debtor at the address of its chief executive office (or principal residence, if applicable) specified below or to such other
address as any party may designate by written notice to each other party, and shall be deemed to have been given or made as follows: (a) if personally delivered, upon delivery; (b) if sent by mail, upon the earlier of the date of receipt

 15. COSTS, EXPENSES AND

advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (excluding allocated costs of Bank’s in-house counsel), expended or 

  
 -4-

right, power, privilege or remedy conferred by this Agreement, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding
(including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to Debtor or in any way affecting any of the Collateral or Bank’s ability to exercise any of its rights or
remedies with respect thereto. All of the foregoing shall be paid by Debtor with interest from the date of demand until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to Bank’s Prime Rate in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the prevailing party in any action to enforce this Agreement shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party in such action all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees,
expended or incurred by the prevailing party in such action. 
 16. SUCCESSORS; ASSIGNS; AMENDMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties, and may be amended or modified only in writing signed by Bank and Debtor.

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE 
  

			
	$1,500,000.00	  	San Diego, California
		  	May 1, 2012

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned PFENEX INC. (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of WELLS
FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”) at its San Diego RCBO, 401 B Street, Suite 2201, San Diego, California 92101, or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful money of the United States of America and in
immediately available funds, the principal sum of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00), or so much thereof as may be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon, to be computed on each advance from the date of its
disbursement as set forth herein. 
 DEFINITIONS: 

As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth after each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the
meaning set forth at the place defined: 
 (a) “Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which
commercial banks in California are authorized or required by law to close. 
 (b) “Fixed Rate Term” means a period commencing on a
Business Day and continuing for one (1), three (3) or six (6) months, as designated by Borrower, during which all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR; provided
however, that no Fixed Rate Term may be selected for a principal amount less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00); and provided further, that no Fixed Rate Term shall extend beyond the scheduled maturity date hereof. If any Fixed Rate
Term would end on a day which is not a Business Day, then such Fixed Rate Term shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. 
 (c)
“LIBOR” means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest whole 1/8 of 1%) and determined pursuant to the following formula: 
  

					
	LIBOR =	  	 Base LIBOR
	  	
		  	100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage	  	

 (i) “Base LIBOR” means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits quoted by Bank
(A) for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference to LIBOR, as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the understanding that such rate is quoted by Bank for the purpose of calculating effective rates of
interest for loans making reference thereto, on the first day of a Fixed Rate Term for delivery of funds on said date for a period of time approximately equal to the number of days in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount approximately equal to the
principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applies , or (B) for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference to the Overnight LIBOR Rate, as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate in effect from time to time
for overnight delivery of funds in amounts approximately equal to the principal amount of such loans. Borrower understands and agrees that Bank may base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators
of the Inter-Bank Market as Bank in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited to, the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market. 

(ii) “LIBOR Reserve Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or
any successor) for “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted by Bank for expected changes in such reserve percentage during the applicable term of this Note. 

(d) “Overnight LIBOR” means at any time the rate of interest equal to LIBOR then in effect for an overnight period. 

 INTEREST: 

(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days
elapsed) either (i) at a fluctuating rate per annum determined by Bank to be two and one-quarter percent (2.25%) above the Overnight LIBOR Rate in effect from time to time, or (ii) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be
two percent (2.00%) above LIBOR in effect on the first day of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. When interest is determined in relation to the Overnight LIBOR Rate, each change in the interest rate shall become effective each Business Day that
the Bank determines that the Overnight LIBOR Rate has changed. Bank is hereby authorized to note the date, principal amount and interest rate applicable thereto and any payments made thereon on Bank’s books and records (either manually or by
electronic entry) and/or on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted. 

(b) Selection of Interest Rate Options. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, it may be
continued by Borrower at the end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Overnight LIBOR Rate or to LIBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time
any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to the Overnight LIBOR Rate, Borrower may at any time convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term designated by
Borrower. At such time as Borrower requests an advance hereunder or wishes to select an interest rate determined in relation to the Overnight LIBOR Rate or a Fixed Rate Term for all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, and at
the end of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying: (i) the interest rate option selected by Borrower; (ii) the principal amount subject thereto; and (iii) for each LIBOR selection for a Fixed Rate Term, the
length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic method as Bank may permit) so long as, with respect to each LIBOR selection for a Fixed Rate Term, (A) if requested by Bank, Borrower
provides to Bank written confirmation thereof not later than three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, and (B) such notice is given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at a later time during
any Business Day if Bank, at its sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed rate to Borrower. If Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when quoted by Bank, the quoted rate shall expire
and any subsequent LIBOR request from Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable fixed rate. If no specific designation of interest is made at the time any advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate
Term, Borrower shall be deemed to have made an Overnight LIBOR Rate interest selection for such advance or the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applied. 

(c) Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand, in addition to any other amounts due or to become
due hereunder, any and all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR, and
(ii) future, supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage, assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental
authority or resulting from compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR to the extent they are not included in the
calculation of LIBOR. In determining which of the foregoing are attributable to any LIBOR option available to Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by Bank among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower. 

(d) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the first day of each month, commencing June 1, 2012.

 (e) Default Interest. From and after the maturity date of this Note, or such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes
due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or at Bank’s option upon the occurrence, and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at an increased rate per annum
(computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4%) above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note. 

  
 -2- 

 BORROWING AND REPAYMENT: 

(a) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its
outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of any document executed in connection with or governing this Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this
Note shall not at any time exceed the principal amount stated above. The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by
or for Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on April 2, 2015. 

(b) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum stated above, may be made by the holder at the oral or
written request of (i) Betrand Liang or Patricia Lady, any one acting alone, who are authorized to request advances and direct the disposition of any advances until written notice of the revocation of such authority is received by the holder at
the office designated above, or (ii) any person, with respect to advances deposited to the credit of any deposit account of Borrower, which advances, when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of
Borrower regardless of the fact that persons other than those authorized to request advances may have authority to draw against such account. The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether any person requesting an advance is or has been
authorized by Borrower. 
 (c) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be credited first, to any interest then
due and second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof. All payments credited to principal shall be applied first, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to the Overnight LIBOR Rate, if
any, and second, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, with such payments applied to the oldest Fixed Rate Term first. 

PREPAYMENT: 
 (a) Overnight LIBOR Rate.
Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to the Overnight LIBOR Rate at any time, in any amount and without penalty. 

(b) LIBOR. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR at any time
and in the minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00); provided however, that if the outstanding principal balance of such portion of this Note is less than said amount, the minimum prepayment amount shall be the entire outstanding
principal balance thereof. In consideration of Bank providing this prepayment option to Borrower, or if any such portion of this Note shall become due and payable at any time prior to the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto by
acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand a fee which is the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which such Fixed Rate Term matures,
calculated as follows for each such month: 
 (i) Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the amount
prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained outstanding until the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto. 

  
 -3- 

 (ii) Subtract from the amount determined in (1) above the amount of interest which
would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining term of such Fixed Rate Term at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such term and in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid. 

(iii) If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero, discount that difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above. 

Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is difficult to
ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above-described prepayment fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of the prepayment costs, expenses and/or
liabilities of Bank. If Borrower fails to pay any prepayment fee when due, the amount of such prepayment fee shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate per annum two percent (2.00%) above the Overnight LIBOR Rate in effect from time to
time (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed). 
 EVENTS OF DEFAULT: 

This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of
May 1, 2012, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). Any default in the payment or performance of any obligation under this Note, or any defined event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an
“Event of Default” under this Note. 
 MISCELLANEOUS: 

(a) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (which is not cured within any applicable cure period), the holder of this
Note, at the holder’s option, may declare all sums of principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of dishonor, all of
which are expressly waived by Borrower, and the obligation, if any, of the holder to extend any further credit hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate. Borrower shall pay to the holder within twenty (20) days of written demand by the
holder (which demand shall include a reasonably detailed summary of the amounts which are the subject thereof) the full amount of all reasonable payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (excluding
allocated costs of the holder’s in-house counsel), expended or incurred by the holder in connection with the enforcement of the holder’s rights and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to the holder under this Note, and the
prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to this Note, including without limitation, any action for declaratory relief, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of
the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the prevailing party in any action to enforce this Note shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party in such action all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, expended or
incurred by the prevailing party in such action. 
 (b) Obligations Joint and Several. Should more than one person or entity sign
this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be joint and several. 
 (c) Governing Law. This Note shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
