Notwithstanding the foregoing, Amyris shall retain all of its rights as a party to the SHA, none of which shall be assumed by the Escrow Agent as the legal owner of the Escrow Shares.

A16893760

4.3

The Escrow Agent agrees to administer and hold the Escrow Shares (subject to the security interest of TENA USA and with due observance of TENA USA’s purchase right of the Escrow Shares as set forth in the JVCO Articles of Association) in escrow for the benefit, risk and account of Amyris in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the JVCO Articles of Association and the SHA; the Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges having received copies of the SHA and the JVCO Articles of Association, true, correct and complete copies of which are attached hereto as Annex 10 (SHA) and Annex 11 (JVCO Articles of Association) and undertakes toward Amyris and TENA USA to respect the terms and conditions of the SHA and the JVCO Articles of Association.

In the event of a conflict with respect to how the Escrow Shares are to be held and released by and between or among this Agreement, the JVCO Articles of Association and/or the SHA, this Agreement shall prevail over the JVCO Articles of Association and the SHA and the JVCO Articles of Association shall prevail over the SHA, in each case except as otherwise expressly provided in the Articles of Association or the SHA.

4.5

Other than as explicitly set out in this Agreement, or when ordered by a Dutch court in a judgment in last instance (uitspraak in kracht van gewijsde) or provisionally enforceable (uitvoerbaar bij voorraad), the Escrow Agent shall be prohibited from selling, releasing or otherwise disposing, encumbering or transferring any of the Escrow Shares or the rights attributed thereto, nor shall the Escrow Agent allow the Escrow Shares to be taken, enjoined or reached by any foreign legal or equitable process, in bankruptcy or otherwise, without the prior written consent of both Amyris and TENA USA.

6.1

The Escrow Agent, being the legal owner of the Escrow Shares, shall exercise the voting rights, and consensual rights of a shareholder of JVCO attributable to the Escrow Shares and all other rights and powers of a shareholder of JVCO, in each case under the JVCO Articles of Association or pursuant to the laws of the Netherlands (together the “Voting Rights”) in accordance with its objects, without prejudice to the provisions below in this Section 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any right of Amyris as a party to the SHA to consent in its capacity as a party to the SHA in accordance with the terms thereof shall be retained by Amyris and shall not belong to the Escrow Agent as the legal owner of the Escrow Shares.

Provided that no Notice of Election has been received by the Escrow Agent, Amyris shall have the exclusive right to direct the Escrow Agent how the Voting Rights in respect of the Class A Common Share are to be exercised while they are held in escrow, and provided that no Notice of Purchase has been received by the Escrow Agent, Amyris shall have the exclusive right to direct the Escrow Agent how the Voting Rights in respect of the Preferred Shares are to be exercised while they are held in escrow, in each case in accordance with and subject to the terms of the JVCO Articles of Association and the SHA, and in each case Amyris shall do so by directing the Escrow Agent to exercise the Voting Rights in respect of the applicable Escrow Shares, and the Escrow Agent shall strictly and promptly comply with such instructions in all respects.

6.3

If a general meeting of JVCO is convened or if the Escrow Agent is requested or given the opportunity to exercise Voting Rights in relation to the Escrow Shares, the Escrow Agent shall, within three Business Days upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of the announcement of the general meeting, the relevant request or occurrence of the relevant opportunity (as the case may be), give written notice thereof to Amyris, which written notice shall, as applicable and to the extent received by the Escrow Agent, include a copy of the agenda for the general meeting, the request or a description of the matter in respect of Voting Rights may be exercised.

A16893760

6.4

Each announcement of a general meeting of JVCO addressed to the Escrow Agent as a shareholder of JVCO, or written notification of JVCO to the Escrow Agent to exercise Voting Rights, shall automatically and without any further action by Amyris be deemed to constitute a written request by Amyris to the Escrow Agent to, and upon each such automatically deemed written request the Escrow Agent shall, grant a written power of attorney to Amyris to exercise the Voting Rights on the Escrow Shares and, if applicable, to attend and address the general meeting of JVCO on behalf of the Escrow Agent substantially in the form as set out in Annex 13 (Format power of attorney of Escrow Agent to Amyris for exercising Voting Rights).

6.5

A power of attorney as meant in Section 6.4 may only be granted for a specific general meeting or share class meeting of JVCO or for a specific request or opportunity to exercise Voting Rights (including through a written consent rather than a meeting) and shall lose its validity at the end of that meeting or after the relevant Voting Rights have been exercised or the opportunity to exercise such Voting Rights has ended.

6.7

The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the voting behavior of Amyris or, following the receipt by the Escrow Agent of a Notice of Election (in the case of the Class A Common Share) or a Notice of Purchase (in the case of the Escrow Shares), TENA USA, or the consequences thereof, nor for the casting of a vote in accordance with a voting instruction that has been issued or the consequences thereof.


7	Release of the Escrow Shares


7.1	Release of the Class A Common Share to TENA USA Upon the Notice of Election

Immediately upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Notice of Election, the Escrow Agent shall transfer all right, title and interest in and to the Class A Common Share to TENA USA. The Escrow Agent acknowledges that the payment of the purchase price for the Class A Common Share shall occur outside of the escrow by TENA USA’s offset against the full amounts owing under the Class A Note, and the Escrow Agent shall assume without inquiry that such offset has occurred upon its receipt of the Notice of Election.


7.2	Release of the Preferred Shares to TENA USA Upon the Notice of Payment of Preferred Shares Option Price

Immediately upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Notice of Payment of Preferred Shares Option Price, the Escrow Agent shall transfer all right, title and interest in and to the Preferred Shares to TENA USA. The Escrow Agent acknowledges that the payment of the

A16893760

Preferred Shares Option Price shall occur outside of the escrow by TENA USA’s offset against the full amount of the obligations then outstanding under the Notes, after giving effect to acceleration, and the Escrow Agent shall assume without inquiry that such offset has occurred upon its receipt of the Notice of Payment of Preferred Shares Option Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Notice of Payment of Preferred Shares Option Price provides that the Preferred Shares Option Price exceeds such obligations outstanding under the Notes, TENA USA shall wire payment of such excess amount as identified in the Notice of Payment of Preferred Shares Option Price to the account specified in Section 16.9 below as a condition to the release of the Preferred Shares to TENA USA, and the Escrow Agent shall then transfer the Preferred Shares to TENA USA, and thereafter, shall release such funds to and for the benefit of Amyris.


7.3	Release of the Preferred Shares to Amyris Upon the Rescission Notice

Immediately upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Rescission Notice, the Escrow Agent shall transfer all right, title and interest in and to the Preferred Shares to Amyris.


7.4	Release of the Escrow Shares Upon the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale

Immediately upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale, the Escrow Agent shall transfer all right, title and interest in and to the Escrow Shares to the party identified in such notice as the purchaser of the Escrow Shares (which party may be, for the avoidance of doubt, TENA USA). The Escrow Agent acknowledges that the terms and conditions for the foreclosure sale of the Escrow Shares shall be determined by the outcome of the foreclosure sale process, which outcome will be as specified by TENA USA in the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale. The Escrow Agent acknowledges that if TENA USA is the purchaser at the foreclosure it will have paid the Preferred Shares Option Price outside of the escrow by its offset against the full amount of the obligations then outstanding under the Notes, after giving effect to acceleration, and the Escrow Agent shall assume without inquiry that such offset has occurred upon its receipt of the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale. To the extent all right, title and interest in and to the Class A Common Share has not been transferred to TENA USA prior to such foreclosure sale, the Escrow Agent acknowledges and agrees that if TENA USA is the purchaser at the foreclosure sale, it will have paid the purchase price for such share by its offset against the full amount of the obligations then outstanding under the Class A Note, after giving effect to acceleration, and the Escrow Agent shall assume without inquiry that such offset has occurred upon its receipt of the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale. The Escrow Agent shall assume without inquiry that the foreclosure sale process as described in the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale has been duly completed and shall comply with the transfer of the Escrow Shares pursuant to the instructions in the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale provides that TENA USA is the purchaser of the Escrow Shares and further provides that the Preferred Shares Option Price exceeds the full obligations outstanding under the Notes and, if applicable, the Class A Note, TENA USA shall wire payment of such excess amount as identified in the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale to the account specified in Section 16.9 below as a condition to the release of the Preferred Shares to TENA USA, and the Escrow Agent shall then transfer the Preferred Shares to TENA USA, and thereafter, shall release such funds to and for the benefit of Amyris. To the extent the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale provides that the purchaser of the Escrow Shares is anyone other than

A16893760

TENA USA and that TENA USA has confirmed that it received full payment from such purchaser on account of its collateral, the Escrow Agent shall transfer the Escrow Shares to that purchaser. To the extent the Notice of Completion of Foreclosure Sale provides that the purchaser of the Escrow Shares is anyone other than TENA USA, and further provides that the purchase price exceeded the full amounts owing under the Notes and the Class A Note, and that TENA USA has confirmed that it received full payment from such purchaser on account of its collateral, the Escrow Agent shall transfer the Escrow Shares to that purchaser after such purchaser has wired the payment of the portion of the purchase price that exceeds the full amounts owing under the Notes and the Class A Note as specified in such notice to the account specified in Section 16.9 below, with the Escrow Agent to then release such funds to and for the benefit of Amyris.


7.5	Release of the Escrow Shares Upon Exercise of the Notice of Right of First Offer

Immediately upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Notice of Right of First Offer, the Escrow Agent shall transfer all right, title and interest in and to the Escrow Shares to the party identified in such notice as the purchaser of the Escrow Shares (which party may be, for the avoidance of doubt, TENA USA). To the extent the Notice of Right of First Offer provides that the purchaser is TENA USA, the Escrow Agent acknowledges that the payment of the purchase price shall occur outside of the escrow by TENA USA’s offset against the full amount of the obligations then outstanding under the Notes and the Class A Note, after giving effect to acceleration, and the Escrow Agent shall assume without inquiry that such offset has occurred upon its receipt of the Notice of Right of First Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Notice of Right of First Offer provides that the purchase price exceeds such obligations outstanding under the Notes and the Class A Note, TENA USA shall wire payment of such excess amount as identified in the Notice of Right of First Offer to the account specified in Section 16.9 below as a condition to the release of the Escrow Shares to TENA USA, and the Escrow Agent shall then transfer the Escrow Shares to TENA USA, and thereafter, shall release such funds to and for the benefit of Amyris. If the Notice of Right of First Offer provides that the successful purchaser is anyone other than TENA USA, the Escrow Agent shall transfer the Escrow Shares to that purchaser after such party has wired the payment of the purchase price specified in such notice to the account specified in Section 16.9 below, with the Escrow Agent to then release such funds to and for the benefit of Amyris.


7.6	Conditional transfer Escrow Shares to TENA USA

As soon as possible after the transfer of the Escrow Shares to the Escrow Agent on the Closing Date, TENA USA, the Escrow Agent and JVCO shall execute the notarial deeds of conditional transfer (the “Notarial Deeds of Conditional Transfer”) before the Notary, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex 14 (Notarial Deeds of Conditional Transfer) to effect the legal transfer of the Class A Common Share to TENA USA subject to the condition precedent (opschortende voorwaarde) of the delivery of the Notice of Election and the legal transfer of the Preferred Shares to TENA USA subject to the condition precedent of the delivery of the Notice of Payment of Preferred Shares Option Price.

A16893760

basis of the power of attorney contained in Section 10) and, if requested by TENA USA, JVCO (as the case may be, represented by TENA USA on the basis of the power of attorney attached hereto as Annex 8 (Power of Attorney of JVCO)), substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex 9 (Format Deed of Transfer) before the Notary.

The Parties agree that the Escrow Agent shall transfer all right, title and interest in and to all or any portion of the Escrow Shares to any designated person (which may include, for the avoidance of doubt, Amyris or TENA USA) upon TENA USA and Amyris jointly giving written notice thereof to the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent shall comply with any further instruction(s) jointly provided therein.


8	Shift of entitlement related rights attributable to Escrow Shares

Immediately upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of a Notice of Election (in the case of the Class A Common Share) or a Notice of Purchase (in the case of the Escrow Shares), the Escrow Agent shall cease to hold the applicable Escrow Shares for the benefit, risk and account of Amyris and shall instead hold the applicable Escrow Shares for the benefit, risk and account of TENA USA (or as otherwise explicitly provided by TENA USA in such notice), such that the rights of Amyris in respect of the applicable Escrow Shares pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 shall then terminate, with such rights to instead be held by TENA USA (or as otherwise explicitly provided in such notice). Except as otherwise described in Section 7.7, upon its receipt of the notices described in Section 7, the Escrow Agent shall immediately transfer the Escrow Shares in the form and manner as described in such Section and this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with Section 13 below.
