Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Confidential Information designated as owned by or assigned to TOTAL in connection with this

GDSVF&H\1814591    Page 4 of 46     CONFIDENTIAL




Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information of TOTAL disclosed by TOTAL to Amyris and exceptions (ii) and (iv) above will not be applicable thereto.

EXHIBIT A
I.OVERVIEW
Pursuant to Section 1 of the Agreement, this Exhibit A describes and sets forth the terms and conditions under which Amyris shall perform certain Services for TOTAL as described below and as requested by TOTAL. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. For purpose of this Exhibit A, the “OCT Facilities” shall have the meaning given to it in the Sublease.
II.OPERATING CORE TEAM (OCT) – MANAGEMENT OF THE OCT FACILITIES
a)OCT Personnel. Amyris will designate at least six (6) Amyris employees who will be exclusively authorized to operate the OCT Facility and perform all Services hereunder, including executing the Campaigns (as defined below) (the “OCT Personnel”). Amyris will endeavor to staff the OCT Facility with at least ten (10) OCT Personnel during the term of the Agreement. Amyris shall ensure that the OCT Personnel are qualified to use all equipment and tools in the OCT Facilities required for the performance of the Services. Throughout this Exhibit A, the term “Amyris Employees” means any and all employees of Amyris that are not OCT Personnel. Amyris will maintain a list of the names of all OCT Personnel which can be reviewed by TOTAL on an as-needed basis upon reasonable request. Amyris will notify TOTAL when it actually replaces an OCT Personnel, identifying the individual to be replaced and the replacement.
b)OCT Policies. All OCT Personnel will be required to follow a set of policies (including additional confidentiality restrictions) that apply to performance of the Services, and each OCT Employee shall acknowledge in writing that he/she has reviewed, understood and agreed to abide by such policies. Any TOTAL employees that are being trained as part of the Services or otherwise participating or observing the Services in the Pilot Plant will need permission of the OCT Manager to be in the OCT Facilities and will be required to follow the same policies while in the OCT Facilities, and sign substantially the same acknowledgement. In addition, Amyris employees executing SOWs on behalf of Amyris also shall sign agree to such acknowledgement as it applies to the non-use and nondisclosure obligations described therein. A copy of the policies is set forth in Schedule 1 hereto. The OCT Personnel shall treat any information regarding any activities being conducted by TOTAL or any of the Services as Confidential Information as set forth in the Agreement, and shall not share any such information, except as set forth in Section 3(b) of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the OCT Personnel shall not be restricted from sharing any such information with any Amyris Employees regarding (i) Amyris activities in the OCT Facilities that are not related to the Services or TOTAL Confidential Information, or (ii) the scheduling (but not the content or subject matter) of the Services. In addition, the OCT Personnel may disclose issues of safety within the Pilot Plant to the appropriate Amyris Employees responsible for safety and emergency management in the Pilot Plant.

GDSVF&H\1814591    Page 13 of 46     CONFIDENTIAL



c)OCT Manager. The OCT Personnel will include one Amyris employee who will serve as one of the OCT Personnel and will manage the other OCT Personnel and the Services (the “OCT Manager”). The OCT Manager will be the primary contact for TOTAL and will represent and be authorized to take all decisions and exercise authority on behalf of Amyris in performing the Services. The OCT Manager will be responsible for tracking the OCT Personnel person-hours utilized for the Services to confirm compliance with the Annual Hours Commitment provided by Amyris as set forth below, provided that the time spent by the OCT Manager managing the OCT Personnel or tracking person–hours shall not constitute Services. For the avoidance of doubt, all OCT Personnel (including the OCT Manager) are employees of Amyris, reporting to Amyris’s management, shall be performing the Services as employees of Amyris, and shall not at any time act or take any action as an agent of TOTAL.
III.SERVICES
a)    Services; Statement of Work (“SOW”); Scheduling. As used in this Exhibit, “Services” includes the following: (i) training TOTAL employees in the operation of the Pilot Plant, (ii) conducting and documenting Campaigns (as defined below) for TOTAL; and (iii) the following “Other Services”: (1) performing other fermentation and downstream separations scale-up services and such other tasks which may include the following: recovery operations, seed train fermentation on [*] and [*] (potentially [*] also) and (2) for the [*] fermenter, preparation and sterilization of feedstock, preparation and sterilization of media, support for fermentation operations, support for sterilization and cleaning of equipment or materials, support for sample analytical preparation as provided in Section III(e) below. Services will be performed only by OCT Personnel. During the performance of Services, TOTAL employees shall have access to the OCT Facilities, including the right to operate the equipment included in the OCT Facilities under the supervision of the OCT Personnel only while being trained under Section III(a)(i) above or conducting some Other Services as listed in Section III(a)(iii) above. For clarity, TOTAL shall have no right to operate any equipment in the OCT Facilities while Amyris is operating a Campaign for TOTAL.
If TOTAL desires Services, the OCT Manager and a single point of contact designated by TOTAL (“TOTAL BPP Coordinator”) will jointly determine the allocation of OCT Personnel person-hours for Services, including the amount of time spent on training, type of Campaign (e.g., Long Run Campaign or Short Run Campaign) or any Other Services, and the estimated number of OCT Personnel person-hours needed during each calendar quarter. The OCT Manager and TOTAL BPP Coordinator will meet and agree on the schedule for a calendar quarter at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter. At this meeting, OCT Personnel person-hours to be expended on Services shall be allocated for such calendar quarter. The OCT Manager and TOTAL BPP Coordinator will target to schedule an approximate range between 500 OCT Personnel person-hours and 1500 OCT Personnel person-hours for the calendar quarter. In the event that the OCT Manager and TOTAL BPP Coordinator cannot agree on the schedule and/or associated OCT Personnel person-hours to be expended for a calendar quarter, the Parties agree to escalate the matter to the Joint Oversight Team as set forth in Section 7(a) of the Agreement. For the

[*] Certain portions denoted with an asterisk have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

GDSVF&H\1814591    Page 14 of 46     CONFIDENTIAL



first year of the Agreement, the Parties will agree on such projected workload within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.
For each specific Service, the OCT Manager and TOTAL BPP Coordinator will execute a SOW detailing the tasks to be performed and the estimated number of OCT Personnel and person-hours. Once the Services are completed, the OCT Manager and the TOTAL BPP Coordinator will meet in order to validate the person-hours duly spent to execute the Service described in the corresponding SOW. The information included in a SOW shall constitute TOTAL Confidential Information. A template SOW for use with Campaigns where a farnesene process is included is set forth in Schedule 5. For Campaigns that do not include a farnesene process and for Other Services, the Parties agree that to use as much as possible the SOW template set forth in Schedule 5. In any event, for the Campaigns operated pursuant to the Technology License, Development, Research and Collaboration Agreement, the SOW corresponding to such Campaigns shall clearly indicate that such Campaigns will be operated pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement.
b)    Annual Maximum Number of Hours of Services. In consideration for the Annual Fee, Amyris shall cause the OCT Personnel to perform up to three thousand one hundred seventy eight (3,178) person-hours of Services each “Contract Year” (i.e., the twelve month period commencing on the Effective Date and then again each anniversary of it thereafter during the Term; such amount being the “Annual Hours Commitment”). In the event the Services agreed upon by the Parties in any Contract Year exceeds the Annual Hours Commitment, then TOTAL will be charged $281.73 for each additional hour of Services. In addition, TOTAL may request additional OCT Personnel person-hours in any Contract Year at the same rate. Amyris, in its discretion, can agree to accept the request for additional OCT Personnel person-hours and such acceptance will be documented in the related SOW. For clarity, “Services” do not include, and no hours shall be attributed to, analytical work performed by Amyris unless such work is identified in a SOW, maintenance of the equipment in the OCT Facilities or any management of OCT Personnel. The Annual Hours Commitment will be allocated each Contract Year to the performance of the Services agreed upon by the Parties as set forth herein and for no other purpose. The OCT Personnel will be required to record their time used to work on Services separately from their time spent on Amyris activities. Within 15 days after the end of each Contract Year, the Joint Oversight Team will determine whether Amyris has completed the Annual Hours Commitment during such Contract Year. In the event that the Joint Oversight Team cannot agree on the number of OCT Personnel person–hours expended in such Contract Year, the Parties agree to escalate the matter as set forth in Section 7(a) of the Agreement. If, in a Contract Year, TOTAL fails to use all of the Annual Hours Commitment, then the Parties agree that, except under the circumstances set forth below, TOTAL will not be entitled to receive a refund of the applicable Annual Fee or a reduction of a future Annual Fee with respect to those unused person-hours. If the Annual Hours Commitment during any Contract Year is not met by Amyris as a result of Amyris failure to perform Services as requested by TOTAL in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, including this Exhibit and any executed SOWs, and such failure results in Amyris failing to meet the Annual Hours Commitment, then the Parties agree as follows:

GDSVF&H\1814591    Page 15 of 46     CONFIDENTIAL



Failure after Contract Year 1: All unused OCT Personnel person-hours will “roll over” to Contract Year 2 and will be added to the Annual Hours Commitment for Contract Year 2.
Failure after Contract Years 2-4: TOTAL will have the choice, at its discretion, to either (a) roll over any unused OCT Personnel person-hours to the Annual Hours Commitment for the following Contract Year or (b) reduce the Annual Fee for such following Contract Year by an amount equal to (i) the number of unused OCT Personnel person-hours from the previous Contract Year multiplied by (ii) $281.73, thereby eliminating all existing roll over hours.
Failure after Contract Year 5: Amyris will reimburse TOTAL the pro-rata portion of the Annual Fee equal to (i) the number of OCT Personnel person-hours that were unused at the end of Contract Year 5 multiplied by (ii) $281.73.

In addition, in the event the roll over hours OCT Personnel person-hours exceed, in the aggregate, 1,500 hours at the end of any Contract Year after Contract Year 1, Amyris will be considered in material breach of the Agreement and TOTAL may terminate in accordance with Section 6(c) of the Agreement.

c)    Training of TOTAL Employees. As part of the Services, if requested by TOTAL, Amyris will provide TOTAL employees with training on how to operate equipment and generally process fermentation campaigns in the Pilot Plant. Most such training will occur through a “side-by-side” process, where TOTAL employees first accompany and then perform with supervision from the OCT Personnel, the tasks of running a Campaign as set forth below. As part of such training Services, the OCT Personnel shall provide the TOTAL employees access to all relevant documentation and equipment as needed to complete the Campaign training, as well as, if requested by TOTAL, access to a farnesene strain to be used in the fermentation processes to be carried out in such Campaign.
d)    Campaigns.
(i)Definition
If requested by TOTAL under this Exhibit, Amyris will conduct Campaigns (as defined below) for TOTAL as part of the Services. A “Campaign” is defined by the completion of all the following steps: feedstock preparation and sterilization, media preparation and sterilization, flask culture, seed train fermentation, main fermentation (in fermentors from [*] to [*] capacity), product recovery, sampling and sample preparation, cleaning and handling, data collection and analysis, and reporting. For clarity and instance, a Campaign might be either a “Long Run Campaign” or a “Short Run Campaign”.
A typical Long Run Campaign means a fermentation process in the OCT Facility that typically includes the steps listed in Schedule 2 hereto. The Parties estimate will require approximately [*] OCT Personnel person-hours and associated utilization of equipment in
[*] Certain portions denoted with an asterisk have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


GDSVF&H\1814591    Page 16 of 46     CONFIDENTIAL



the OCT Facilities to complete. Such campaign requires [*] of fermentation in MFA after inoculation. A simplified task schedule starting from the IFA task is provided on Figure 3 with number of working days per equipment. The red cells represent the inoculation day and the green ones the harvests days.
[*]
Figure 3 – [*]
A typical Short Run Campaign means a fermentation process in the OCT Facility that typically requires fewer technical steps and fewer estimated OCT Personnel person-hours to complete than a Long Run Campaign.
The Parties estimate a Short Run Campaign will typically require approximately 121 OCT Personnel person-hours and associated utilization of equipment in the OCT Facilities to complete. A simplified task schedule starting from the IFA task is provided on Figure 4 with number of working days per equipment.

[*]
Figure 4 – [*]

Measuring Success in Campaigns

Key Parameters. In each SOW, TOTAL and Amyris will define the objectives to be reached when executing the Campaign. Among those objectives, no more than two objectives will be identified as “Key Parameters” by the Parties. If the Key Parameters are met, the Campaign will be considered a “Successful Campaign” and will be accepted by TOTAL.

Process. Once the Campaign is terminated (at any time for any reason, including completion), the TOTAL BPP Coordinator and the OCT Manager shall meet to evaluate if the results (recorded data, analysis, etc.) are sufficient to meet the Key Parameters. The decision on whether Key Parameters are met will be at TOTAL BPP












[*] Certain portions denoted with an asterisk have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

GDSVF&H\1814591    Page 17 of 46     CONFIDENTIAL



Coordinator’s discretion. However, if the Key Objectives are not met, an ABGD System (as defined below) analysis shall be performed by the OCT Personnel and upon TOTAL’s request, the TOTAL BPP Coordinator (or its designee) shall be entitled both to participate in such analysis, and to access the conclusions of the report of such analysis.

The ABGD System. Amyris operates a batch quality system (the alpha beta gamma delta or ABGD system) which evaluates each batch by operational execution and outcome events as the basis for establishing whether a Campaign is a Successful Campaign. A detailed description of the ABGD system is set forth in Schedule 6. Alpha-Gamma, Alpha-Delta and Beta-Gamma outcomes will not result in an Attempted Campaign (as defined below).

Attempted Campaign. A Campaign that does not meet the Key Parameters at termination and is categorized as Beta-Delta through the ABGD System is defined as an “Attempted Campaign”. An Attempted Campaign shall not be deemed a performance breach by Amyris, and Amyris will not deduct from the Annual Hours Commitment any OCT Personnel person-hours expended by Amyris on an Attempted Campaign. Within thirty (30) days after such Attempted Campaign, Amyris shall re-execute the Campaign, up to a maximum of two additional times, and TOTAL shall not be charged any additional OCT Personnel person-hours or cost for concluding such re-executed Campaign. In the event an Attempted Campaign occurs (up to a maximum of two Attempted Campaigns in a row) and the re-executed Campaign results in a Successful Campaign, TOTAL will be charged OCT Personnel person-hours for the Successful Campaign only.
Failed Campaign. Three Attempted Campaigns on the same Campaign SOW is defined as a “Failed Campaign”. If three or more Failed Campaigns occur during a twelve month period, then TOTAL may thereafter terminate this Agreement without cause pursuant to Section 6(b) without, however, any obligation to pay the amount specified in Section 6(b) (ii).
Root Cause Analysis. Amyris shall perform a root-cause analysis of each Attempted Campaign to identify the operational cause of the failure if applicable and report such analysis to TOTAL within thirty (30) days after the date of each Attempted Campaign, and resolve such failure within sixty (60) days after the basis for such Attempted Campaign has been identified.
e)    Other Services. From time to time TOTAL may request the OCT Personnel to perform Other Services. If some of the Other Services are to be performed using equipment in the Total Dedicated Area, the SOW shall identify such equipment. The OCT Personnel person-hours incurred to perform such Services shall apply against the Annual Hours Commitment available in the Contract Year. Once an Other Service is terminated, the TOTAL BPP Coordinator and the OCT Manager shall meet to evaluate if the results (if any) established in the SOW for such Other Services have been achieved. The OCT Manager and the TOTAL BPP Coordinator shall agree on the Key Parameters (if any) and anticipated results to be achieved for any Other Services on the associated SOW prior to execution of the related Services. If the results are not achieved, the tasks described in such SOW will be

GDSVF&H\1814591    Page 18 of 46     CONFIDENTIAL



re-executed by the OCT Personnel, TOTAL shall not be charged any additional OCT Personnel person-hours or cost for concluding such re-executed SOW within thirty (30) days after such termination.
f)    Right to Lockout. Upon forty (40) days’ prior written notice and up to four (4) times each Contract Year, TOTAL may inform Amyris that Amyris will not be allowed to have any non-OCT Personnel visit or occupy the OCT Facilities during the operation of a specific Campaign or Service. Amyris will have the same right to exclude TOTAL and any associated employees, guest or partners from the OCT Facilities for the same number of days each year upon the same notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, members of the Amyris emergency response team will at all times have access to the OCT Facilities in order to respond to any emergency situations on an as needed basis.
g)    Information Technology. The OCT Facilities equipment will be accessible by each Party’s respective IT Networks, but it will only be accessible by one Party’s network at any time. The OCT Manager shall ensure that OCT Personnel disconnect certain OCT Facilities equipment from one Party’s network and attaching it to the other Party’s network when shifting from executing a Campaign to conducting work for Amyris (and vice versa). The OCT Personnel shall take all actions necessary to ensure that all Campaign data is deleted from any OCT Facilities equipment prior to reattaching such equipment to the Amyris network (and vice versa). In the event that a Party inadvertently acquires or is given access to the other Party’s data residing on OCT Facilities equipment, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party, shall not use and shall promptly destroy such data.
IV.DOCUMENTATION
a)    Campaign/Service Report. For each Campaign or Other Service performed by Amyris, the OCT Personnel will prepare and provide a written report addressing the items specified in Schedule 3 as altered by mutually agreement of the OCT Manager and the TOTAL BPP Coordinator, or in the applicable SOW. The OCT Manager shall deliver such report to TOTAL not later than one (1) month after the end date designated in such SOW. The OCT Manager shall make the OCT Personnel involved with such Service reasonably available to answer TOTAL’s questions generated from review of each report. All time Amyris spends preparing such reports and subsequently answering questions about such reports will be deducted from the Annual Hours Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, such report shall be deemed to be the property and Confidential Information of TOTAL for the purposes of this Agreement; however Amyris may keep a reference copy of such report in accordance with Section 3(d) of the Agreement.
b)    Batch Records. The OCT Personnel shall maintain during the execution of each Campaign or other Service (as applicable) a batch record (in the form and including the details specified in the SOW for such Campaign) to keep track of all events and parameter settings used during the Campaign. Within five (5) business days after the conclusion of each Campaign or other Service (including Campaigns and Services terminated prior to completion), Amyris will provide a copy of the batch record to TOTAL. For the avoidance of doubt, such records shall be deemed to be the property and

GDSVF&H\1814591    Page 19 of 46     CONFIDENTIAL



Confidential Information of TOTAL for the purposes of this Agreement; however Amyris will keep a reference copy of such records in accordance with its then current standard record keeping procedures, provided that such copy may only be used in relation to disputes between Amyris and TOTAL with respect to the performance of the Campaign or Service (as applicable) that was the subject of the report.
c)    Raw Data. For each Campaign or other Service performed hereunder, the OCT Personnel shall maintain the raw data files that are generated by the analysers and fermenters used for execution of such Campaign or other Service (as applicable), and shall deliver such raw data files in a format reasonably requested by TOTAL within five (5) days after the conclusion of each Campaign or other Service (including Campaigns and Services terminated prior to completion). For the avoidance of doubt, such raw data files shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of TOTAL for the purposes of this Agreement; however Amyris may keep copies of such raw data files in accordance with Section 3(d) of the Agreement.

SCHEDULE 6
THE ABGD SYSTEM
Amyris Fermentation Process Quality Assignment – ABGD (αβγd) System

Background
The ABDG system is an acronym for Alpha (correct execution), Beta (incorrect execution), Gamma (meets specifications), Delta (Failed specifications). It is a data classification tool that identifies correct process control and experimental data sets. The purpose of applying the tool is to enable calculation of operational performance (control) and process robustness (capability). The system provides clarity across a number of projects, programs, and facilities.

Application of ABDG
Fermentation processes are performed by following a set of instructions. These instructions are in the form of written description in the scope of work. The instructions must include the key process variables and their target set points, acceptable ranges, and concern limits. The key parameters are monitored throughout the process and any deviations are noted. This assessment may be manual or be automated. In Amyris’s fermentation lab and pilot plant we are operating mainly an auto tagging system that is based on the MFCS process control system measurements and the process parameter targets. There are also a small number of manual assessments that are inputted by the operations team. These operational events or discrepancies in execution, or deviations from target, are referred to as tags.

In addition to the operational execution tagging there is a further level of assessment of the batch outcomes. This evaluates the ability of the method executed to deliver data and product quality that is within agreed range according to the specifications. The overall system is illustrated in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Categorization of process quality

In summary an alpha lot is a batch that has the following basic elements:-
Equipment was set up correctly
The correct raw materials were used
The process operations were conducted correctly
No mechanical issues
Beta lots would be batches that exhibit the following elements:-
Contamination
Excursions from set points
Noisy measurements leading to poor control
Equipment or electronic failures
Utility failures leading to excursions

Setting Rules and Specifications
Process operational and outcome rules are listed and agreed through a review process. The review requires sign off from fermentation managers and project/ program stakeholders. The agreed rules sets and specifications are recorded in a versioned controlled document. By way of illustration only, Table 1 shows the typical listing of rules for alpha/beta and delta assignments:

Typical examples of beta delta events would be contamination resulting from operator error, process control failures, and incorrect media or batch recipe if the run request was not properly. For clarity, it is understood that the specific parameters to determine/define the ABDG status of a batch should be defined on a case by case basis and reviewed within the Scope of Work process
Assignment
A batch would be assigned a status once all the parameters have been assessed. The alpha/ beta assignment is completed by the OCT manager. The gamma/ delta specification assignment is made by the TOTAL BPP coordinator. Final assessment of the batch as gamma or delta requires completion of process assays and quality review of the data. Table 2 provides a summary of the four categories that are assignable:

Table 2: Assignment of ABDG

Follow Up
The goal is to minimize the beta-delta rate to less than [*]. Beta-delta operational events are categorized by failure type in a Pareto analysis. A root cause analysis (RCA) process is performed on the major failure events to establish the basis for corrective and preventative action (CAPA). The impact of CAPA is monitored by measuring and comparing the frequency of that event over time. This is the process of continuous improvement.
