Lender shall fund the Term Loan Advance in the manner requested by the Advance Request provided that each of the conditions precedent to such Term Loan Advance is satisfied as of the Closing Date.
(c)    Interest.

The Term Loan Interest Rate will float and change on the day the Prime Rate changes from time to time.

(d)    Payment.  Borrower will pay interest on each Term Loan Advance on the first Business Day of each month, beginning the month after the Advance Date.  Borrower shall repay the aggregate Term Loan principal balance that is outstanding on the day immediately preceding the Amortization Date, in equal monthly installments of principal and interest (mortgage style and based upon a February 1, 2017 maturity date) beginning on the Amortization Date and continuing on the first Business Day of each month thereafter until the Secured Obligations are repaid.

Borrower shall make all payments under this Agreement without setoff, recoupment or deduction and regardless of any counterclaim or defense. Lender will initiate debit entries to the Borrower’s account as authorized on the ACH Authorization on each payment date of all periodic obligations payable to Lender under each Term Advance.
2.3    Maximum Interest.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of California shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans) (the “Maximum Rate”).  If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to Lender an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be applied as follows:  first, to the payment of the Secured Obligations consisting of the outstanding principal; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lender’s accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and any other Secured Obligations; and third, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower.  
2.4    Default Interest.  In the event any payment is not paid on the scheduled payment date, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the past due amount shall be payable on demand. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, all Secured Obligations, including principal, interest, compounded interest, and professional fees, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate set forth in Section 2.2(c), plus five percent (5%) per annum.  In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Section 2.2(c) or Section 2.4, as applicable.
2.5    Prepayment.  At its option upon at least seven (7) Business Days prior notice to Agent, Borrower may prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Advances by paying the entire principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with a prepayment charge equal to the following percentage of the Advance amount being prepaid: if such Advance amounts are prepaid in any of the first twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, 3%; and thereafter, 1% (each, a “Prepayment Charge”).  Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Charge is a reasonable calculation of Lender’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Advances.  Borrower shall prepay the outstanding amount of all principal 

11

and accrued interest through the prepayment date and the Prepayment Charge upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.
2.6    End of Term Charge.  On the earliest to occur of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the date that Borrower prepays the outstanding Secured Obligations, or (iii) the date that the Secured Obligations become due and payable, Borrower shall pay Lender a charge of $2,500,000.  Notwithstanding the required payment date of such charge, it shall be deemed earned by Lender as of the Closing Date.
2.7    Notes.  If so requested by Lender by written notice to Borrower, then Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of Lender pursuant to Section 11.13) (promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence Lender’s Loans.
2.8    Pro Rata Treatment.  Each payment (including prepayment) on account of any fee and any reduction of the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the Term Commitments of the relevant Lender.
2.9     Forbearance Fee.  In the event Parent is in breach of the Specified Covenant, Agent shall forbear from exercising remedies with respect to a breach of the Specified Covenant (but not any other Event of Default) from the Specified Covenant Breach Date until May 31, 2015.  In consideration of such forbearance, Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of Lender the Forbearance Fee in cash in full on May 31, 2015 and, notwithstanding the required date of payment of the Forbearance Fee, the Forbearance Fee shall be fully earned by Lender as of the Specified Covenant Breach Date.  Notwithstanding any forbearance provided under this Section 2.9, for the abundance of caution, all of the Secured Obligations shall continue to accrue interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.4. 
SECTION 3.    SECURITY INTEREST

Agent may exercise all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents or otherwise available to it under the UCC and other applicable law, including the right to release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize upon, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to occupy, utilize, process and commingle the Collateral.  All Agent’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.
10.2    Collection; Foreclosure.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may, at any time or from time to time, apply, collect, liquidate, sell in one or more sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Agent may elect.  Any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere.  Borrower agrees that any such public or private sale may occur upon ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice to Borrower.  Agent may require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at a place designated by Agent that is reasonably convenient to Agent and Borrower.

25

First, to Agent and Lender in an amount sufficient to pay in full Agent’s and Lender’s costs and professionals’ and advisors’ fees and expenses as described in Section 11.11;
Second, to Lender in an amount equal to the then unpaid amount of the Secured Obligations (including principal, interest, and the Default Rate interest), in such order and priority as Agent may choose in its sole discretion; and
Finally, after the full, final, and indefeasible payment in Cash of all of the Secured Obligations, to any creditor holding a junior Lien on the Collateral, or to Borrower or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
Agent shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of any of the Collateral if it complies with the obligations of a secured party under the UCC.

If Total elects to exercise the Right of First Refusal, the Agent shall sell, and Total shall purchase, all, but not less than all of the Pilot Equipment within 30 days of the election of the Right of First Refusal.  Agent shall, at Total’s sole cost and expense, execute such bills of sale or other instruments that Total may reasonably request in order to evidence such purchase and sale. Any purchase and sale under this Section 10.5 shall be “as is, where-is” without any warranty.  The failure of Total to respond to such written notice or affirmatively elect to exercise the Right of First Refusal within such ten Business Day period shall be deemed a rejection of the Right of First Refusal.  If Total rejects such Right of First Refusal, Agent may freely seek to hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize upon, or otherwise dispose of such Pilot Equipment in accordance with the terms hereof. The parties hereto acknowledge that Total is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 10.5.

11.6    Survival.

11.10    Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial / Judicial Reference.  

29

(a)    Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert Person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws.  EACH OF BORROWER, AGENT AND LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY BORROWER AGAINST AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE OR BY AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE AGAINST BORROWER.  This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Agent, Borrower and Lender; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship among Borrower, Agent and Lender; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document.  
(b)    If the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 11.10(a) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California.  Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.  
(c)    In the event Claims are to be resolved by judicial reference, either party may seek from a court identified in Section 11.9, any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.
11.11    Professional Fees.  Borrower promises to pay Agent’s and Lender’s fees and expenses necessary to finalize the loan documentation, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees, UCC searches, filing costs, and other miscellaneous expenses, all as set forth on a summary invoice provided to Borrower. In addition, Borrower promises to pay any and all reasonable attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of in-house counsel) incurred by Agent and Lender after the Closing Date in connection with or related to:  (a) the Loan; (b) the administration, collection, or enforcement of the Loan; (c) the amendment or modification of the Loan Documents; (d) any waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Loan Documents; (e) the protection, preservation, audit, field exam, sale, lease, liquidation, or disposition of Collateral or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral; (f) any legal, litigation, administrative, arbitration, or out of court proceeding in connection with or related to Borrower or the Collateral, and any appeal or review thereof; and (g) any bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action related to Borrower, the Collateral, the Loan Documents, including representing Agent or Lender in any adversary proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of Borrower’s estate, and any appeal or review thereof.

30

11.12    Confidentiality.  Agent and Lender acknowledge that certain items of Collateral and information provided to Agent and Lender by Borrower are confidential and proprietary information of Borrower, if and to the extent such information either (x) is marked as confidential by Borrower at the time of disclosure, or (y) should reasonably be understood to be confidential (the “Confidential Information”).  Accordingly, Agent and Lender agree that any Confidential Information it may obtain pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Agreement, in the course of acquiring, administering, or perfecting  Agent’s security interest in the Collateral or otherwise shall not be disclosed to any other Person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrower, except that Agent and Lender may disclose any such information:  (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors and to its affiliates if Agent or Lender in their sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information in connection with such party’s responsibilities in connection with the Loan or this Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information; (b) if such information is generally available to the public (other than as a result of Agent or Lender’s breach of their respective obligations under this Section 11.12); (c) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any governmental authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Agent or Lender; (d) if required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the extent permitted or deemed advisable by Agent’s or Lender’s counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to Agent or Lender; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, including Agent’s sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral after default; (g) to any participant or assignee of Agent or Lender or any prospective participant or assignee; provided, that such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by this Section prior to disclosure; or (h) otherwise with the prior consent of Borrower; provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower or any of its affiliates or any guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
11.13     Assignment of Rights.  Borrower acknowledges and understands that Agent or Lender may sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Loan Documents to any Person or entity (an “Assignee”).  After such assignment the term “Agent” or “Lender” as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Agent and Lender hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Agent and Lender shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given.  No such assignment by Agent or Lender shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder.  Lender agrees that in the event of any transfer by it of the Note(s)(if any), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon.

31

11.14    Revival of Secured Obligations.  This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, if Borrower becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of Borrower’s assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Agent or Lender.  The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Agent, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Agent, Lender or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Agent or Lender in Cash.
11.15    Counterparts.  This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
11.16    No Third Party Beneficiaries.  No provisions of the Loan Documents are intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any Person other than Agent, Lender and Borrower unless specifically provided otherwise herein (including as set forth in Section 10.5), and, except as otherwise so provided, all provisions of the Loan Documents will be personal and solely among Agent, the Lender and the Borrower.

(b)    Neither Borrower nor any of its member businesses and Affiliates shall, without Agent’s and Lender’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), publicize or use (i) Agent’s or Lender's name (including a brief description of the relationship among Borrower, Agent and Lender), logo or hyperlink to Agent’s or Lender’s web site, separately or together, in written and oral presentations, advertising, promotional and marketing materials, client lists, public relations materials or on its web site (together, the "Borrower Publicity Materials"); (ii) the names of officers of Agent or Lender in the Borrower Publicity Materials; and (iii) Agent’s or Lender’s name, trademarks, servicemarks in any news release concerning Borrower. 
Section 11.19.  Guaranty; Waivers.
(a)    Guaranty.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Agent and Lenders the full and prompt payment when due (whether at 

34

stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and performance of the Secured Obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  The Guaranteed Obligations include interest that, but for a proceeding under any Insolvency Proceeding, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in any such proceeding.
(b)    Separate Obligation.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that:  (i) the Guaranteed Obligations are separate and distinct from any Indebtedness arising under or in connection with any other document, including under any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 11.19, executed at any time by such Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Agent and Lenders; and (ii) such Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay and perform all of the Guaranteed Obligations as required under this Section 11.19, and Agent may enforce any and all of their respective rights and remedies hereunder, without regard to any other document, including any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 11.19, at any time executed by such Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Agent and any Lender, irrespective of whether any such other document, or any provision thereof or hereof, shall for any reason become unenforceable or any of the Indebtedness thereunder shall have been discharged, whether by performance, avoidance or otherwise.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that, in providing benefits to Borrower, Agent and each Lender is relying upon the enforceability of this Section 11.19 and the Guaranteed Obligations as separate and distinct Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that Agent and each Lender would be denied the full benefit of their bargain if at any time this Section 11.19 or the Guaranteed Obligations were treated any differently.  The fact that the guaranty is set forth in this Agreement rather than in a separate guaranty document is for the convenience of Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors and shall in no way impair or adversely affect the rights or benefits of Agent and any Lender under this Section 11.19.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver a separate document, immediately upon request at any time of Agent, evidencing such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 11.19.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, a separate action or actions may be brought against such Subsidiary Guarantor, whether or not Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Borrower, any such other Subsidiary Guarantor or any such other Person.
(c)    Limitation of Guaranty.  To the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction shall impose by final judgment under applicable Laws (including sections 544 and 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) any limitations on the amount of any Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations that Agent can enforce under this Section 11.19, Agent and each Lender by their acceptance hereof accept such limitation on the amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder to the extent needed to make this Section 11.19 fully enforceable and nonavoidable.
(d)    Liability of Subsidiary Guarantors.  The liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 11.19 shall be irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance that might constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor other than the indefeasible payment and performance 

35

in full of all Guaranteed Obligations.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees as follows:
(i)    such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon Agent’s exercise or enforcement of any remedy it may have against Borrower or any other Person, or against any collateral or other security for any Guaranteed Obligations;
(ii)    this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not merely of collectibility;
(iii)    Lender may enforce this Section 11.19 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute among Agent and Lenders, on the one hand, and Borrower or any other Person, on the other hand, with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;
(iv)    such Subsidiary Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations remaining unsatisfied; and
(v)    such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by, nor shall such Subsidiary Guarantor be exonerated or discharged by, any of the following events:
(A)    any proceeding under any Insolvency Proceeding;
(B)    any limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other Person for any Guaranteed Obligations due to any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents;
(C)    any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor or Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or shares of Borrower or any other Person;
(D)    any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Agent and Lenders’ interests in and rights under this Agreement (including this Section 11.19) or the other Loan Documents;
(E)    any claim, defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than that of prior performance, that Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Guarantor or any other Person may have or assert, including any defense of incapacity or lack of corporate or other authority to execute any of the Loan Documents;

36

(F)    Agent or any Lender’s amendment, modification, renewal, extension, cancellation or surrender of any Loan Document or any Guaranteed Obligations;
(G)    Agent or any Lender’s exercise or non exercise of any power, right or remedy with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral;
(H)    Agent or any Lender’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law; or
(I)    any other guaranty, whether by such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of Borrower to Agent or any Lender.
(e)    Consents of Subsidiary Guarantors.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor:
(i)    the principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or decreased and additional indebtedness or obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents may be incurred and the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Loan Document may be extended or changed, by one or more amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of any Loan Document or otherwise;
(ii)    the time for Borrower’s (or any other Person’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as Agent (as applicable under the relevant Loan Documents) may deem proper;
(iii)    Agent may request and accept other guaranties and may take and hold security as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such other guaranties or security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; and
(iv)    Agent may exercise, or waive or otherwise refrain from exercising, any other right, remedy, power or privilege even if the exercise thereof affects or eliminates any right of subrogation or any other right of such Subsidiary Guarantor against Borrower.
(f)    Subsidiary Guarantor’s Waivers.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert:

37

(i)    any right to require Agent and the Lenders to proceed against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of Agent or the Lenders whatsoever;
(ii)    the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(iii)    any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of Borrower, such Guarantor or any other Person;
(iv)    any defense based upon Agent’s or Lenders’ errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(v)    any rights to set offs and counterclaims;
(vi)    without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable laws limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, or that may conflict with the terms of this Section 11.19; and
(vii)    any and all notice of the acceptance of this guaranty, and any and all notice of the creation, renewal, modification, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the reliance by Agent and Lenders upon this Guaranty, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.  The Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred and permitted to exist in reliance upon this Guaranty.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices to or upon Borrower, each Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.
(g)    Financial Condition of Borrower.  No Subsidiary Guarantor shall have any right to require Agent or any Lender to obtain or disclose any information with respect to:  the financial condition or character of Borrower or the ability of Borrower to pay and perform the Guaranteed Obligations; the Guaranteed Obligations; any collateral or other security for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; the existence or nonexistence of any other guarantees of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; any action or inaction on the part of Agent, any Lender or any other Person; or  any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has undertaken its own independent investigation of the financial condition of Borrower and all other matters pertaining to this Guaranty and further acknowledges that it is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of Agent or any Lender with respect thereto.
(h)    Subrogation.  Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall be satisfied in full and the Aggregate Commitments shall be terminated, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have, and shall not directly or indirectly exercise:  (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Section 11.19, by any payment hereunder or otherwise; (ii) any 

38

rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Section 11.19; or (iii) any other right that it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) that could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of Agent or a Lender as against any Borrower or other Guarantors or any other Person, whether in connection with this Section 11.19, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise.  If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of the foregoing rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and shall forthwith be paid to Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
(i)    Subordination.  All payments on account of all indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of Borrower to any Subsidiary Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether due or to become due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined (the “Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness”) shall be subject, subordinate and junior in right of payment and exercise of remedies, to the extent and in the manner set forth herein, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of the Guaranteed Obligations.  As long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) shall remain outstanding and unpaid, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not accept or receive any payment or distribution by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, or assets of Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness, as a result of any collection, sale or other disposition of collateral, or by setoff, exchange or in any other manner, for or on account of the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness (“Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments”), except that, so long as an Event of Default does not then exist, any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to accept and receive payments on its Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness, in accordance with past business practices of such Subsidiary Guarantor and Borrower (or any other applicable Subsidiary Guarantor) and not in contravention of any law or the terms of the Loan Documents.
If any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments shall be received in contravention of this Section 11.19, such Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and shall be paid over or delivered to Agent for application to the payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Guaranteed Obligations remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to give effect to this Section 11.19 after giving effect to any concurrent payments or distributions to Lender in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(j)    Continuing Guaranty.  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and agreement of subordination and shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor until termination of the Term Commitment and payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and each Subsidiary 

39

Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Guaranteed Obligations exist.  This Guaranty shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor until actual receipt by Agent of written notice from such Subsidiary Guarantor of its intention to discontinue this Guaranty as to future transactions (which notice shall not be effective until noon on the day that is five Business Days following such receipt); provided that no revocation or termination of this guaranty shall affect in any way any rights of Agent or any Lender hereunder with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or outstanding on the date of receipt of such notice, including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the terms or conditions thereof, or any Guaranteed Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Lenders in existence as of the date of such revocation (collectively, “Existing Guaranteed Obligations”), and the sole effect of such notice shall be to exclude from this Guaranty Guaranteed Obligations thereafter arising which are unconnected to any Existing Guaranteed Obligations.
(k)    Reinstatement.  This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated and revived, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of Borrower (or receipt of any proceeds of collateral) shall be rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, voided or otherwise required to be repaid to Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person (including under any Bankruptcy Law), or must otherwise be restored by Lenders, whether as a result of proceedings under any bankruptcy law or otherwise.  All losses, damages, costs and expenses that Agent or any Lender may suffer or incur as a result of any voided or otherwise set aside payments shall be specifically covered by the indemnity in favor of Agent and the Lenders contained in Section 11.19.
(l)    Substantial Benefits.  The Advances provided to or for the benefit of Borrower hereunder by Lenders have been and are to be contemporaneously used for the benefit of Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries.  It is the position, intent and expectation of the parties that Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor have derived and will derive significant and substantial benefits from the Term Loan Advances to be made available by Lenders under the Loan Documents.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor has received at least “reasonably equivalent value” (as such phrase is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and in comparable provisions of other applicable Laws) and more than sufficient consideration to support its obligations hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Immediately prior to and after and giving effect to the incurrence of each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be solvent and will not be subject to any Insolvency Proceedings.
(m)    KNOWING AND EXPLICIT WAIVERS.  EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT EITHER HAS OBTAINED THE ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN SUCH ADVICE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.19.  EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EACH OF THE WAIVERS AND CONSENTS SET FORTH HEREIN 

40

IS MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ITS SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCES, THAT ALL SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS HEREIN ARE EXPLICIT AND KNOWING AND THAT EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR EXPECTS SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS TO BE FULLY ENFORCEABLE.
If, while any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness is outstanding, any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law is commenced by or against Borrower or its property, Agent, when so instructed by Lender, is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in the name of Borrower or in the name of any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution in respect of all Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness and give acquittances therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including voting the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness) as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of Lender; and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall promptly take such action as Lender may reasonably request:  (A) to collect the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness for the account of the Borrower and any Subsidiary Guarantor and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness; (B) to execute and deliver to Agent such powers of attorney, assignments and other instruments as it may request to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness; and (C) to collect and receive any and all Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments.
(n)    Any payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document must be made in United States Dollars.

FORM OF JOINDER AGREEMENT
This Joinder Agreement (the “Joinder Agreement”) is made and dated as of [          ], 20[  ], and is entered into by and between__________________., a ___________ corporation (“Subsidiary”), and HERCULES TECHNOLOGY GROWTH CAPITAL, INC., a Maryland corporation (as “Agent”).  
RECITALS
A.  Subsidiary’s Affiliate, Amyris, Inc. (“Company”) [has entered/desires to enter] into that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated March 29, 2014, with the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto as lender (collectively, the “Lender”) and the Agent, as such agreement may be amended (the “Loan Agreement”), together with the other agreements executed and delivered in connection therewith; 
B.  Subsidiary acknowledges and agrees that it will benefit both directly and indirectly from Company’s execution of the Loan Agreement and the other agreements executed and delivered in connection therewith;
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, Subsidiary and Agent agree as follows:
		
	1.
	The recitals set forth above are incorporated into and made part of this Joinder Agreement.  Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning provided in the Loan Agreement.

		
	2.
	By signing this Joinder Agreement, Subsidiary shall be bound by the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement the same as if it were the Borrower (as defined in the Loan Agreement) under the Loan Agreement, mutatis mutandis.  In particular, Subsidiary hereby acknowledges and agrees that it (i) has granted a security interest to Lender in the Collateral on the terms set forth in Section 3.1 of the Loan Agreement as if it were the Borrower thereunder, (ii) makes the representations set forth in Section 5 of the Loan Agreement as if it were the Borrower thereunder, (iii) agrees to be bound by the covenants and agreements set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 11 of the Loan Agreement as if it were the Borrower thereunder and (iv) hereby guarantees the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to Section 11.19 of the Loan Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subsidiary hereby agrees that Lender shall have no duties, responsibilities or obligations to Subsidiary arising under or related to the Loan Agreement or the other agreements executed and delivered in connection therewith.  Rather, to the extent that Lender has any duties, responsibilities or obligations arising under or related to the Loan Agreement or the other agreements executed and delivered in connection therewith, those duties, responsibilities or obligations shall flow only to Company and not to Subsidiary or any other person or entity.  By way of example (and not an exclusive list): (a) Lender’s providing notice to Company in accordance with the Loan Agreement or as otherwise agreed between Company and Lender shall be deemed provided to Subsidiary; (b) a Lender’s providing an Advance to Company shall be deemed an Advance to Subsidiary; and (c) Subsidiary shall have no right to request an Advance or make any other demand on Lender.

deemed an Advance to Subsidiary; and (iii) Subsidiary shall have no right to request an Advance or make any other demand on Lender.
		
	3.
	Subsidiary agrees not to certificate its equity securities without Agent’s prior written consent, which consent may be conditioned on the delivery of such equity securities to Agent in order to perfect Agent’s security interest in such equity securities.

		
	4.
	Subsidiary acknowledges that it benefits, both directly and indirectly, from the Loan Agreement, and hereby waives, for itself and on behalf on any and all successors in interest (including without limitation any assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, bankruptcy trustee or itself as debtor-in-possession under any bankruptcy proceeding) to the fullest extent provided by law, any and all claims, rights or defenses to the enforcement of this Joinder Agreement on the basis that (a) it failed to receive adequate consideration for the execution and delivery of this Joinder Agreement or (b) its obligations under this Joinder Agreement are avoidable as a fraudulent conveyance.

Amyris, Inc.
5885 Hollis Street, Suite 100

Attention: Mr. John Melo, President & CEO

Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Master Framework Agreement (the “Framework Agreement”), dated as of December 2, 2013, by and between Amyris, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Amyris” or the “Company”), and Total Energies Nouvelles Activités USA (formerly known as Total Gas & Power USA, SAS), a société par actions simplifiée organized under the laws of the Republic of France (“Total”), and that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between Amyris and Total. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Framework Agreement or the Purchase Agreement.
The terms of the Framework Agreement and Purchase Agreement shall be amended as set forth below and, subject to the delivery of such notice and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, Total hereby waives its right to not consummate the Third Closing if it makes a “No-Go Decision” (as defined in the Framework Agreement) pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of the Framework Agreement prior to June 30, 2014, and commits to consummate the first installment of the Third Closing by no later than July 31, 2014 and the second installment of the Third Closing by no later than January 31, 2015, subject in each case to the satisfaction of the conditions of such Third Closing set forth in Section 6.2 of the Purchase Agreement and in this letter agreement (other than the condition set forth in Section 6.2(h) of the Purchase Agreement which is hereby expressly waived by Total upon the satisfaction of the Waiver Conditions (as defined below)):
		
	1. 
	The Conversion Price (as defined in the Securities) for the Securities to be issued at each installment of the Third Closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall be reduced to $4.11; provided that Amyris shall, to the extent required by the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market, obtain stockholder approval with respect to such reduction of the Conversion Price prior to consummation of the first installment of the Third Closing, in accordance with paragraph 2 below; and

		
	2. 
	As a condition to the Third Closing, to the extent required by the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market, Amyris shall provide each stockholder entitled to vote at the next scheduled annual meeting of shareholders of Amyris (the “Stockholder Meeting”), which meeting shall held not later than July 31, 2014, a proxy statement soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of resolutions (the “Resolutions”) providing for Amyris’ issuance of all of the Securities to be issued in the Third Closing with a reduced Conversion Price of $4.11 in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market, and Amyris shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its stockholder’s approval of the Resolutions and to cause its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve the Resolutions.

		
	3. 
	In connection with the closing of each installment of the Third Closing, Total shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any qualification or exception to any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision (“Exception”) to Sections 3.1 (Organization and Standing), 3.3 (Power), 3.4 (Authorization), 3.5 (Consents and Approvals), 3.6 (Non-Contravention), 3.7 (The Securities), 3.8 (The Underlying Securities), 3.10 (Reporting Status), 3.13 (Legal Proceedings), 3.14 (No Violations), 3.16 (Listing Compliance), 3.18 (Financial Statements), 

3.22 (No Material Adverse Change) and, except as qualified by Schedule 3.23 of the March 2013 Disclosure Letter (as defined below), 3.23 (Solvency) of the Purchase Agreement set forth in the disclosure letter to be delivered by Amyris pursuant to Article 3 of the Purchase Agreement to the extent that Total determines that such Exception is adverse to Total in any material respect.
		
	4. 
	Section 5.1(a) of the Framework Agreement is hereby amended to replace the reference to June 30, 2014 with the following: 

“the later of (i) December 31, 2014 and (ii) the date on which Amyris shall have raised $75,000,000 of equity and/or convertible debt financing in one or more transactions consummated on or after March 27, 2014 (excluding for the purpose of such calculation, any Securities issued to Total under this Master Agreement and the SPA),”
		
	5. 
	Amyris shall provide Total, within 5 Business Days after the end of each calendar month, beginning with the month ending March 31, 2014 and ending with the month ending January 31, 2015, a report certified by the Chief Financial Officer of Amyris setting forth Amyris’ cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (including distinguishing between restricted and unrestricted cash) as of the end of such calendar month, in a form that is reasonably acceptable to Total.

Clauses (1) through (5) above are referred to herein as the “Waiver Conditions.”

In connection with the execution of this letter agreement, Amyris hereby certifies that the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of, and as if made on the date of this letter agreement, except as set forth in the disclosure letter supplied by Amyris to Total and dated as of the date hereof (the “March Disclosure Letter”).
This letter agreement, and the provisions, rights, obligations, and conditions set forth herein, and the legal relations between the parties hereto, including all disputes and claims, whether arising in contract, tort, or under statute, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this letter agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by the Company and Total. In the event that any provision of this letter agreement or the application of any provision hereof is declared to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this letter agreement shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to delete such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision unless that provision held invalid shall substantially impair the benefits of the remaining portions of this letter agreement. This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument, and shall become effective when signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other party.

Very truly yours,
