8.5 Confidentiality of Agreement Terms. The Parties acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement shall be treated confidentially as Confidential Information of both Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such terms may be disclosed by a Party in the context of a potential transaction to investment bankers, investors, and potential investors, licensees, or acquirers and their respective advisors, 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

(c) The Parties will cooperate with respect to all documentation required by any taxing authority or reasonably requested by the paying Party to secure a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding Taxes. If the paying Party had a duty to withhold Taxes in connection with any payment it made to the other Party under this Agreement but the paying Party failed to withhold, and such Taxes were assessed against and paid by the paying Party, then the other Party will reimburse the paying Party for such Taxes (including interest, but excluding penalties), upon delivery by the paying Party of the documents evidencing the paying Party’s payment of the Taxes and the basis for such payment. If the paying Party makes a claim under this Section 9.3(c) it will comply with the obligations imposed by Section 9.3(b) as if the paying Party had withheld Taxes from a payment to the other Party.

9.4 Audits. During the Term and for two years thereafter, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, maintain all books and records reasonably related to the costs or expenses incurred in connection with the FEED Engineering Activities and the Preliminary Activities.

Right to Expand Capacity:

If the market size of the Primary Field expands by at least * after the Closing (excluding any expansion of production by the Company) and the Company is operating at a profit, then a party may provide the Company with an “Expansion Notice” that requests a new Plant to be build, or an existing Plant to be expanded, with a capacity of at least *, and references

*	Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

Exhibit B – Page 4

an agreed source for the market expansion; provided, however, that a party may not provide an Expansion Notice until *. This right to provide an Expansion Notice shall apply * for the period between the Effective Date and *. Thereafter this right shall apply to each incremental increase of capacity in the Primary Field; provided, however, that the size of the new Plant to be built (or Plant expanded) has a nominal rated capacity of at least * and the incremental increase in the size of the Primary Field is at least * times the size of the nominal rated capacity of the proposed new Plant (or proposed expanded capacity).

Upon receiving an Expansion Notice that accurately references the agreed source as confirming that the market size of the Primary Field has expanded as provided above, the Company will determine within * after receiving the Expansion Notice (the “Election Period”) whether to attempt to expand its production capacity a commercially reasonable amount, taking into account actual and anticipated customer demands, profitability, and other relevant commercial factors.

If the Company notifies the parties within the Election Period that it will attempt to expand such capacity, then the Company will make one or more of the following determinations;

•

The Company will fund the expansion in whole or in part from its own retained capital.

•

The Company will seek third-party debt financing to fund all or part of the expansion.

•

The Company may seek capital contributions from the parties to fund that portion of the costs of the expansion not covered by its own retained capital and/or third-party financing.

•

If a party refuses to make a capital contribution to cover a capital call made pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection, then the other party may fund such capital contribution and thereby dilute the non-participating party accordingly; provided, however, that Solazyme’s equity interests in the Company shall not be diluted hereunder without its prior consent.

If the Company (i) does not notify the parties within the Election Period that it has elected to attempt to expand such capacity even though the Company is profitable and it is commercially reasonable for the Company to attempt to expand its capacity or (ii) does notify the parties within the Election Period that it has elected to attempt to expand such capacity but fails to Commence Construction of the expansion within one hundred eighty (180) days of such election to expand capacity, then Solazyme may cause the Company to undertake the expansion at the sole expense of Solazyme and Solazyme’s funding will dilute Bunge’s ownership in the Company accordingly.
