provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if such a contractual payment obligation would be due to a Third Party for the grant or practice of a license, sublicense or other right to the applicable Intellectual Property, such Intellectual Property shall also be deemed to fall within the scope of this definition if the licensee or recipient thereof (which for purposes hereof shall be the Company, except in the case of a Grantback License pursuant to Section 2.1(b)) agrees in writing to be responsible for any and all payments due to such Third Party for the grant or practice thereof.

In all cases, if a Member of the Company can show that a Fermentation Production Process can produce [*], then the Reference Process shall not be considered to be Materially Phototrophic. In the event of a dispute arising in connection hereto, Article 22 of the Joint Venture Agreement shall apply.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Solazyme hereby grants to the Company a royalty-free, exclusive right (even as to Solazyme and its Affiliates) and license, with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses, in the Territory under Solazyme’s right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Intellectual Property, solely for the purpose of conducting the Business in the Field (the “License”). With respect to any and all licenses granted to Third Parties by Solazyme to Solazyme Platform Patents on or before the Accumulation Termination Date, Solazyme shall use reasonable efforts to obtain Control of any Third Party Improvements made by or on behalf of any such sublicensee such that Solazyme shall be able to convey to the Company sublicense rights to any such Third Party Improvement in the License.

Subject to the limitations in Section 5.4(d) and (e), Solazyme hereby grants to the Company a bailment to use the Materials solely to practice the License; provided, however, that the Company acknowledges that Solazyme (and its designees) shall have the right to use the Materials for any uses outside the Field. The Company shall be the owner of any Modified Materials; subject to the license rights granted to Solazyme pursuant to Section 2.1(b). At least annually, the Company shall transfer to Solazyme samples of all such Modified Materials together with information describing the modifications made to the original Materials, including procedures and methods and information sufficient to allow Solazyme to propagate, store and use such Modified Materials outside the Field.

The Company will not transfer any Modified Materials to a Third Party other than to further the conduct of the Business in the Field and only if such Third Party agrees in writing to restrictions substantially similar to those set forth in this Section 2.1(c).

(d) Effect of Change in Control. For the avoidance of doubt, even in the case of a Change in Control of Solazyme, the Solazyme Platform Patents, the Solazyme Nutritionals Patents, the Solazyme Know-How, the Materials and the Solazyme Trademarks shall remain included in the Licensed Intellectual Property. In addition, such a Change in Control of Solazyme shall not have any effect on the Company’s Intellectual Property, including without limitation, the Modified Materials.

2.2 Third Party Agreements.

(a) The Company acknowledges that certain Intellectual Property within the License may be licensed to Solazyme pursuant to, or otherwise be subject to, the terms of a Third Party Agreement, and that the License granted by Solazyme to the Company with respect thereto is or will be subordinate to the terms of any such Third Party Agreement. The Company further acknowledges that any breach of such terms by the Company or its sublicensees may result in damage to Solazyme and/or other sublicensees of the subject Intellectual Property, which may include, without limitation, loss of license rights to such Intellectual Property and/or monetary damages, and the Company therefore agrees to act reasonably to avoid any breach of such terms.

(b) The Company further acknowledges that, with respect to Intellectual Property licensed to Solazyme pursuant to or otherwise subject to the terms of a Third Party Agreement, the license by Solazyme to the Company may result in payment and/or indemnification or other obligations to the Third Party as a consequence of the grant to the Company and/or practice of such sublicense by the Company, and the Company agrees that it shall only receive such a license or sublicense if it agrees in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to Solazyme, to pay any such amounts and/or perform any other obligations due in connection with the grant of the license or sublicense to the Company or practice of such license or sublicense by the Company or its sublicensees (which payments may include milestone payments and/or royalties on product sales), and to otherwise comply with the terms of such Third Party Agreement.

(c) The Company acknowledges that Solazyme (a) shall use reasonable efforts to either (x) maintain in force and effect any Third Party Agreement described in Section 2.2(b) for which the Company has accepted obligations or (y) assign the Third Party Agreement to the Company and (b) may amend or modify the terms of any such Third Party Agreement; provided, however, that Solazyme shall provide to the Company prompt notice thereof at least forty-five (45) days prior to any applicable deadline.

(d) To the extent allowable under applicable confidentiality agreements, Solazyme shall promptly notify the Company of the terms of any such Third Party Agreement as they relate to the License or may otherwise give rise to any obligations pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or (b).

(e) With respect to any Intellectual Property that Solazyme seeks to in-license prior to the Accumulation Termination Date, if, in the reasonable view of Solazyme, use of such Intellectual Property in the Field would improve the conduct of the Business, Solazyme shall present such license opportunity to the Board, and if directed by the Board, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the right to sublicense such rights to the Company for use in the Field.

2.3 Limitations on License - Limited Party Rights. It is understood and agreed that with respect to any aspect of the Intellectual Property licensed in Section 2.1(a) for which Solazyme has less than fully exclusive, worldwide rights (i.e., co-exclusive, non-exclusive, limited territorial or otherwise restricted rights) for use in the Field, the License shall be limited to those rights that Solazyme Controls and has the right to sublicense to the Company in the Field. To the extent allowable under applicable confidentiality agreements, Solazyme shall promptly notify the Company of the terms of any such Intellectual Property licensed in Section 2.1(a) for which Solazyme has less than fully exclusive, worldwide rights for use in the Field.

2.4 Right to Sublicense. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.3, the Company (or its successor) may grant sublicenses under the License to Third Parties as it deems appropriate, but such sublicenses may only grant rights with respect to the Licensed Intellectual Property for and in the Field. If Solazyme is no longer a Member, the Company shall notify Solazyme of the identity of each sublicensee of any of the Licensed Intellectual Property within forty-five (45) days after the grant of the applicable sublicense.

2.5 Third Party Agreements. In connection with the commercialization of Products in the Field, in any agreement that the Company enters with a Third Party relating to the sale of any Product, whether a license agreement, distribution agreement, supply agreement or other agreement, the Company shall ensure that any such agreement shall include provisions that (a) prohibit the sale of any Product for any use outside the Field, (b) require the Third Party to indemnify Solazyme against any losses incurred as a result of any breach of such prohibition on Product sales and/or use outside the Field, and (c) name Solazyme as an intended third party beneficiary, with the right to bring an action against such Third Party for any breach of such agreement, for any conduct in violation of the prohibition on any sales of Products for uses outside the Field.

2.6 Continued License Rights. Upon the occurrence of the Accumulation Termination Date:

(a) All Licenses granted under this Agreement in effect as of the Accumulation Termination Date shall remain in effect, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

(b) All obligations of Solazyme to license further Intellectual Property as provided in Section 2.1(a), or help to sublicense Intellectual Property as provided in Section 2.2(e), shall cease as of the Accumulation Termination Date, whether such further Intellectual Property becomes Controlled by Solazyme through license, acquisition, development or otherwise.

2.7 Retained Rights.

(a) Solazyme. Notwithstanding the License, the Parties agree that:

(i) Solazyme shall retain a right to conduct research with respect to the Licensed Intellectual Property in the Field for the purpose of improving and expanding such Licensed Intellectual Property; provided, however, that Solazyme shall not use Licensed Intellectual Property for the primary intended purpose of developing any Products or Services for use in the Field, on its own behalf or on behalf of any Third Party.

(ii) At all times during and after the Term of this Agreement, nothing herein shall restrict, or be construed to restrict, Solazyme’s right to practice and grant licenses to practice its Intellectual Property for any uses outside the Field.

2.8 Technology Transfer. Solazyme shall use reasonable efforts to provide technical assistance, and transfer information regarding Solazyme Know-How and Materials, to the Company in order for the Company to practice the Licensed Intellectual Property. Solazyme shall have a continuing obligation to provide reasonable technical assistance, and transfer information regarding Solazyme Know-How to the Company until the Accumulation Termination Date, including in particular Third Party Improvements and Licensed Intellectual Property that was not included in Licensed Intellectual Property as of the Effective Date.

2.9 No Implied Rights. Any and all Intellectual Property rights not specifically granted to the Company in this Section 2 are expressly reserved by Solazyme.

SECTION 3

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

3.1 Ownership.

(a) Subject to the License granted in Section 2.1(a), as between the Parties, Solazyme shall own all right, title, and interest in and to the Licensed Intellectual Property subject to the present Agreement.

(b) Subject to the Grantback License granted in Section 2.1(b), as between the Parties, the Company shall own all right, title, and interest in and to any Improvements, or any new Intellectual Property, reduced to practice or otherwise developed by either Party or any of its Affiliates pursuant to the Services Agreement or the Manufacturing Agreement.

3.2 Disclosure Obligations. From and after the Effective Date to and including the Accumulation Termination Date, Solazyme shall disclose in writing to the Company, on an annual basis, any new Licensed Intellectual Property that has become subject to the License since the last update. Commencing with the first anniversary of the Effective Date and annually thereafter until the first such anniversary occurring after the Accumulation Termination Date, the Company shall disclose in writing to Solazyme any new Company Improvements since the last update.

3.3 Prosecution and Maintenance. As between the Parties, for purposes of this Agreement:

(a) The Company

(i) The Company shall have the sole right during the duration of the prosecution of the Solazyme Nutritionals Patents, at its own cost and expense, to prosecute, seek, obtain, maintain and update any registrations or similar protection for the Solazyne Nutritional Patents; provided, however, that the Company (a) will use reasonable efforts to maintain in force the Solazyme Nutritionals Patents and (b) shall file continuations, divisional applications and/or continuation-in-parts as part of the prosecution of a parent application, and will notify Solazyme of these filings but shall not file any claim relating to any composition, process, system, or method directed to any subject matter outside the Field without a written authorization from Solazyme. Prosecution of any subject matter outside the Field shall be conducted by Solazyme, and shall be at the cost and expense of Solazyme, who shall in turn provide notice of filing to the Company.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 3.3(a)(i), (A) in the event that the Company elects in writing not to exercise (or fails to commence such exercise within thirty (30) days from receipt of a written request to do so from Solazyme) any of the rights described in Section 3.3(a)(i) with respect to any Solazyme Nutritionals Patents, and (B) the Company reasonably believes that the conduct of such activities shall not have a material adverse effect on other Company Intellectual Property, then Solazyme shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise such rights, at its sole cost and expense, and in its own name.

(iii) In the case of any actions described in Section 3.3(a)(ii), the Company shall, upon request by and at the expense of Solazyme, reasonably cooperate with Solazyme regarding such matter.

(b) Solazyme

(i) Solazyme shall have the right during the Term, at its own cost and expense, to prosecute, seek, obtain, maintain and update any registrations or similar protections for the Solazyme Platform Patents.

(ii) Solazyme will keep the Company informed of the progress with regard to all activities relating to the prosecution of the Solazyme Platform Patents. More specifically, Solazyme shall provide to the Company copies of all proposed filings and patent office responses and copies of all office actions and other material communications from patent offices relating to such prosecution efforts, a reasonable time in advance of any proposed filing or required response, and the Company will have the right to comment on any such filing or response, and Solazyme will consider in good faith the timely received requests and suggestions of the Company with respect to such filings or responses.

(iii) If Solazyme intends to abandon or not maintain a Solazyme Platform Patent in a particular jurisdiction (or chooses not to file and/or prosecute in a particular jurisdiction), and is not abandoning such Solazyme Platform Patent in favor of another Solazyme Platform Patent, Solazyme will provide reasonable prior written notice to the Company of such intention to abandon, not maintain or not file (which notice will, in any event, be given no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the next deadline for any action that may be taken with respect to such Patent with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office or any foreign patent office). If the Company requests that Solazyme continue to prosecute a particular Solazyme Platform Patent, or requests that Solazyme prosecute a particular Solazyme Platform Patent in a particular jurisdiction, Solazyme shall do so unless Solazyme reasonably believes that such prosecution or filing will ultimately be uneconomical (i.e., the costs to Solazyme of continuing such activities will outweigh the detrimental effects on the Company if such activities are terminated) or such prosecution will detrimentally effect Solazyme’s other Intellectual Property.

(iv) The Company acknowledges that the Solazyme Platform Patents may be licensed outside the Field to Third Parties and that Solazyme has the responsibility and sole discretion to determine how to best maintain and prosecute the Solazyme Platform Patents for the benefit of all licensees, including Third Parties other than the Company. The Company further acknowledges that such responsibility may affect Solazyme’s determination whether or how to maintain and prosecute particular Solazyme Platform Patents.

3.4 Enforcement. As between the Parties, for purposes of this Agreement:

(a) Subject to the first rights of any Third Party licensor of the applicable Licensed Intellectual Property provided in any Third Party Agreement, the Company shall have the initial right (but not the obligation) during the Term, at its own cost and expense, to assert any actual or threatened infringement of the Solazyme Nutritionals Patents and/or any declaratory judgment action relating thereto. In any such action, Solazyme shall, at the Company’s request and expense, join in any such action as

a party, if required by applicable law. In such a case, the Company shall be entitled to retain any and all proceeds from such enforcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event the Company elects in writing not to exercise any of the foregoing rights (or fails to commence such exercise within ninety (90) days from receipt of a written request to do so from Solazyme) then Solazyme shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise such rights, at its sole cost and expense, and in its own name. In such a case, Solazyme shall be entitled to retain any and all proceeds from such enforcement.

(b) Solazyme shall have the sole right during the Term, at its own cost and expense, to assert any actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of the Solazyme Platform Patents and/or any declaratory judgment action relating thereto. The Company acknowledges that the Solazyme Platform Patents may be licensed outside the Field to Third Parties and that Solazyme has the sole discretion and right to determine how to best enforce and defend the Solazyme Platform Patents for the benefit of itself and all licensees, including Third Parties other than the Company. The Company further acknowledges that such responsibility may affect Solazyme’s determination whether or how to enforce particular Solazyme Platform Patents in any particular circumstance.

3.5 Consultation. Each Party agrees to keep the other Party reasonably informed with respect to its activities in connection with Sections 3.3 and 3.4 and reasonably consult with the other Parties regarding such matters to the extent such other Party’s interests are affected.

3.6 Allegations by Third Parties.

(a) Notice. If the manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of any Product pursuant to this Agreement results in any claim, suit or proceeding alleging patent infringement or trade secret misappropriation against the Company or Solazyme, then such Party shall promptly notify the other Party. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding and shall keep each other reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding.

(b) Defense. If a Third Party asserts that Intellectual Property owned by or licensed to it are infringed by the development, manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of Products and/or Services by the Company or its sublicensees, or that its trade secrets were misappropriated in connection with such activity, then the Company shall have the exclusive right and responsibility to resolve any such claim, whether by obtaining a license from such Third Party, by defending against such Third Party’s claims or otherwise, and shall be solely responsible for the defense of any such action, any and all costs incurred in connection with such action (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and expert fees) and all liabilities incurred in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the prior written consent of Solazyme if such settlement would require Solazyme to be subject to an injunction or to make any monetary payment, or admit any wrongful conduct by Solazyme or its Affiliates, or would limit or restrict the claims of or admit any invalidity and/or unenforceability of any Intellectual Property Controlled by Solazyme, or

have any impact on activities conducted by Solazyme or its Affiliates or sublicensees outside the Field.

3.7 Common Interest. The Parties acknowledge that in the course of conducting the activities described in this Section 3, the Parties may discuss information related to Patents and other Intellectual Property rights of the other Party and its Affiliates and/or of Third Parties, and/or conduct by Third Parties that may constitute infringement of one or more of the Patents licensed under this Agreement, and the Parties may wish to review documents and information of other Party that are protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or the attorney work-product doctrine, and agree that disclosure of such documents and information, in confidence, shall further the mutual interests of the Parties. Accordingly, the Parties agree that a community of interest exists between the Parties as to these matters and therefore the disclosure of privileged information in the conduct of activities pursuant to this Section 3 shall not constitute a waiver of any such privilege. Each Party shall treat as confidential and privileged, all such information received from the other Party under this Agreement that is marked, by the Party to which the privilege runs, as “Confidential” or “Privileged” or “Attorney Work Product,” or in a similar manner to reasonably indicate its protected and confidential nature, and shall take precautions to preserve the confidentiality and privilege of such information as if it were its own privileged information or attorney work product.

time within which to adopt such changes as may be required for the Company to conform to the revised Quality Standards.

All costs associated with the submission of such samples shall be borne by the Company.

4.4 Marking; Compliance with Trademark Laws. The Company shall cause the appropriate designation “™”, or the registration symbol “^®” or any other applicable trademark designation or registration symbol in accordance with the laws in those territories where the Company conducts the Business to be placed adjacent to the Solazyme Trademarks in connection with the use thereof and to indicate such additional information as Solazyme shall reasonably specify from time to time concerning the license rights under which the Company shall use Solazyme’s Trademarks.

4.5 Other Use Restriction. The Company shall not use the Solazyme Trademarks in any manner that would reflect adversely on the image of quality symbolized by the Solazyme Trademarks.

SECTION 6

INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnity Obligation to Solazyme. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Solazyme, and its Affiliates (and with respect to Solazyme Platform Patents licensed to Solazyme by a Third Party, such Third Party) and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each a “Solazyme Indemnitee”) from and against all actions, claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and expert fees) and/or judgments and/or amounts paid in settlement that any Solazyme Indemnitee may suffer as a result of any Third Party claims, demands, actions or other proceedings arising out of or in connection with: (i) any breach of any of the Company’ representations, warranties and/or covenants in this Agreement; (ii) any acts (whether of omission or commission) by the Company and/or its sublicensees that breaches or causes a breach of any Third Party Agreement (to the extent the Company is aware of the relevant obligations of such Third Party Agreement) resulting in any loss of rights, liability or loss for Solazyme, and/or (iii) any acts (whether of omission or commission) by the Company and/or its sublicensees, relating to the development, manufacture, importation, use, offer for sale, sale and/or other commercial exploitation of any products or services (including, without limitation, Products or Services), including, without limitation, patent infringement, product liability and environmental claims, except, in each case, to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Solazyme.

(b) Indemnity Obligation to the Company. Solazyme agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each a “Company Indemnitee”) from and against all actions, claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and expert fees) and/or judgments and/or amounts paid in settlement that any Company Indemnitee may suffer as a result of any Third Party claims, demands, actions or other proceedings arising out of or in connection with: (i) any breach of any of Solazyme’s representations, warranties and/or covenants in this Agreement; and /or (ii) any acts (whether of omission or commission) by Solazyme relating to the development, manufacture, importation, use, offer for sale, sale and/or other commercial exploitation of any products or services, including, without limitation, patent infringement, product liability and environmental claims, except, in each case, to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company.

(c) Procedure. If a Party intends to claim indemnification under Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b), such Party (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any claim for indemnification, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall have control of the defense and/or settlement thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. However, if the Indemnitee believes (based on the advice of outside counsel) that due to potential conflicts of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, representation of the Indemnitee by the Indemnitor’s counsel would be

inappropriate (e.g., due to issues relating to the Field or scope of the rights licensed to the Indemnitor in this Agreement, and rights licensed to another entity), the Indemnitee may select separate counsel and the Indemnitor shall be responsible for the costs of such representation of the Indemnitee. Under all other circumstances, the Indemnitee may, in its sole discretion, participate in any such proceeding with separate counsel of its choice, at its own expense. The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply to amounts paid by the Indemnitee in settlement of any claim if such settlement is effected by the Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. At the Indemnitor’s request and expense, the Indemnitee and its employees and agents shall provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of and preparation for the defense against any action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification. The Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or consent to an adverse judgment in any such claim, demand, action or other proceeding that admits any wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnitee or its officers, directors, employees and agents, or that imposes additional obligations (financial or otherwise) on the Indemnitee, without the prior express written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

SECTION 7

CONFIDENTIALITY

7.1 Joint Venture Agreement. The confidentiality provisions set forth in Article 17 of the Joint Venture Agreement shall expressly govern with respect to any Confidential Information (as defined therein) disclosed under or pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, Confidential Information related to the License.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such terms may be disclosed by a Party to investment bankers, investors, and potential investors or acquirers (and their agents), in the context of a potential transaction, each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by similar obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in this Section 7. In addition, relevant terms of this Agreement may be disclosed by a Party to potential licensees or acquirers of such Party’s Intellectual Property (in the case of the Company, for use inside the Field, and in the case of Solazyme for use outside the Field) in order for such potential licensee or acquirer to be able to understand the scope of the License and the Grantback License; provided, however, that (i) prior to disclosure each such potential licensee or acquirer shall be bound by similar obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in this Section 7 and (ii) the disclosing Party take reasonable measures to minimize the disclosure of Confidential Information.

9.10 Waiver. The failure or delay of a Party to enforce or to exercise, at any time for any period of time, any provisions hereof or any right or remedy hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or right or remedy or of the right of such Party thereafter to enforce or exercise the same; provided, however, that such right or remedy is not time-barred or otherwise precluded by law or by a writing expressly waiving such right or remedy and signed by that Party seeking to assert such right or remedy.
