JOINT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

2.1. Objectives. The purpose of the Parties’ relationship under this JDA is to (a) further develop Genomatica’s current Bioprocess at the T&L Decatur, Illinois demonstration plant, Building 119 and certain fermentation lab facilities located at Building 59 (the “Demonstration Facility”), to produce Bio-BDO from dextrose feedstocks sourced from a T&L corn wet-mill facility and (b) develop Genomatica’s current Bioprocess into a continuous or semi-continuous commercial Bioprocess for producing Polymer-grade Bio-BDO from feedstocks from carbohydrate streams from corn grind xxxxx (the “Commercial Process”) at a cash cost below that of BDO produced by other means, which cost is currently estimated at $[…***…] per pound for all production costs including raw materials. The Parties also desire to discuss options to work together to commercialize in the Territory Bio-BDO produced using the Commercial Process and dextrose feedstocks at a commercial manufacturing facility co-located with a T&L-owned corn wet-mill facility in the Territory (the “Commercial Facility”). The Joint Development Program will be conducted in two stages.

2.1.1. Investigative Phase. The objective of the first stage of the Joint Development Program is to test potential commercially viable microbial strains at small scale and identify process steps that have a high probability of being those used in the first commercial scale facility (the “Investigative Phase”). The principal tasks in the Investigative Phase shall consist of those matters set forth in the Development Plan.

2.1.2. Demonstration Phase. The objective of the second stage of the Joint Development Program is to demonstrate the ability to manufacture Polymer-grade Bio-BDO at the projected commercial scale in the 13,000 liter fermenter by the Bioprocess selected in the Investigative Phase (the “Demonstration Phase”). The principal tasks in the Demonstration Phase shall consist of those matters set forth in the Development Plan.

14.2. Force Majeure. The Parties shall be exempt from liability in respect of any failure to perform their obligations under this JDA due to circumstances beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to those arising from: (a) war, acts of terrorism, fire, epidemic, flood or other acts of God, explosion, civil commotion, strike, lock-out or labor disturbances, acts, regulations or laws of any government, or failure of public utilities or common carriers, (b) inability to procure raw materials (other than dextrose) due to shortages of raw materials, or (c) prevention from or hindrance in obtaining energy or other utilities.

Whenever any notice is required to be given by law or this JDA, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

14.4. Entire Agreement; Superseded. This JDA, together with the Exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the development of a process for Bio BDO, whether oral or written, including the NDA.

14.5. Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Party in the performance by that Party of its obligations is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Party of the same or any other obligations of that Party. Failure on the part of a Party to complain of any act of any Party or to declare the other Party in default, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Party of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

14.6. Amendment or Modification. This JDA may be amended, modified, or supplemented only by a written instrument duly executed by each of the Parties to, which instrument shall specifically indicate that it is the desire of the Parties to amend, modify or supplement this JDA, and similarly may be waived only by a written instrument duly executed by the waiving Party.

14.7. Binding Act. This JDA is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

14.9. Severability. If any provision of this JDA or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this JDA and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances is not affected thereby and that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by Law.

14.10. Further Assurances. In connection with this JDA and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Party shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this JDA and those transactions.

14.11. No Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions hereof are solely for the benefit of the Parties and are not intended to, and shall not be construed to, confer a right or benefit on any other Person.

Development Plan

BDO Demonstration Development Plan

This document presents a Demonstration Development Plan aimed at establishing an integrated process for the production of 1,4-butanediol (BDO) from corn wet mill dextrose. […***…].

This program is sub-divided in two work phases based on scale:

1.) Lab scale (2-50 L)

2.) Demonstration scale (13,000-15,000 L)

Details associated with […***…]. Tasks, activities, timelines, responsibilities, milestones, requirements (feedstock, resources, capital), and deliverables are outlined below in a development plan […***…].

This plan is a living document that will be modified as needed to satisfy program requirements.

1. ***Confidential Treatment Requested

1,4-Butanediol

1,4-Butanediol (BDO) is a major commodity chemical that currently is manufactured exclusively through various petrochemical routes requiring feedstocks such as acetylene, butane, propylene, and butadiene. The demand for BDO stems largely from its use as an intermediate for the production of over 2.5 million tons of PBT plastic resins, polyurethane thermoplastics, co-polyester ethers, and spandex fibers. Given the importance of BDO as a chemical intermediate and the issues associated with petroleum feedstocks, alternative low-cost renewable routes from sugars have been sought. Genomatica has engineered the first direct routes to BDO in E. coli and has developed a preliminary process for the production and recovery of BDO from renewable carbohydrate feedstocks. This process has been demonstrated at both lab (2-30 L) and pilot (3000 L) scales and work continues […***…].

Program Objectives

The main program objective is to develop, scale-up, and confirm consistent performance of a robust process for the production BDO at demonstration scale (13,000-15,000 L). These studies will provide all data and capital equipment designs required for creating an engineering package and constructing a manufacturing facility for conversion of corn wet mill dextrose to BDO.

A work plan for scale-up and development of a “commercial ready” process and details associated with a full BDO demonstration development program are provided below. […***…]
