14.2.2 Without prejudice to the provision of item 14.2(d) above, in case BDB or its controlling entities intend to implement a corporate restructuring (merger, spin-off, acquisition, amalgamation) that will result in the transfer of the ownership of the Plant to a third party (i.e., a party that is not a BDB affiliate), the Parties agree that AMYRIS shall have a right of first refusal to acquire the Plant. For this purpose, BDB shall send a written communication to notify AMYRIS of its intention to transfer the ownership of the Plant and the terms and conditions under which such transfer is to be carried out, including a copy of the third party offer that will result in the transfer of the ownership of the Plant. AMYRIS will then have a period of ten (10) days to send a written response to BDB, with regards to its intention to exercise, or not, its right of first refusal, under the same terms and conditions of transfer informed by BDB. Should AMYRIS decide not to exercise its right of first refusal, it will, nonetheless, have the right to terminate this Agreement and immediately and prior to the conclusion of the transfer of the ownership of the Plant to a third party remove the Equipment from the Plant.
14.3 Additionally, this Agreement will be terminated upon exercise, by BDB, of the purchase option relating to the Equipment, as set forth in Section 15.1 below and
also in the relevant free lease agreement executed between the Parties, for lease of the Equipment, by Amyris to BDB, free of charge (“Free Lease Agreement”).
14.4 From and after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, neither of the Parties hereto shall have any further rights, privileges or obligations hereunder, except that such expiration or termination shall not relieve the Parties of any liability accrued prior to the effective date of such expiration or termination, and such expiration or termination shall not affect the continued operation or enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement, which by its express terms is to survive termination or expiration.
14.5 Should this Agreement be terminated, BDB shall return to AMYRIS all the Raw Materials and Products stored in its Plant.
15 Purchase Option
15.1 As more specifically set forth in the Free Lease Agreement, after a period of two (2) years as of the Effective Date, BDB shall have the option to purchase the Equipment for a price equal to the total Project Capex less taxes less depreciation accrued in accordance with applicable fiscal law. The Project Capex account shall be submitted to BDB promptly after completion of installation of the Equipment and is subject to referendum by the Management Committee.
15.2 If BDB does not exercise the option referred to in Section 15.1 after a period of two (2) years as of the Effective Date, in the third anniversary of this Agreement, BDB shall have a final option to purchase the Equipment for the price defined in Section 15.1.
15.3 The Parties hereby agree that the Purchase Option provided for in this Section 15 and in the Free Lease Agreement shall comprehend the whole of the Equipment and, hence, the total Project Capex. [*].
16 Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights, Indemnification
16.1 AMYRIS warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, the manufacturing of the Products, or any item thereof, does not violate any third party’s intellectual or industrial property rights.
16.2 Without prejudice to Section 9.2 above, AMYRIS hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless BDB, its officers, agents, affiliates, successors and assigns, from and against any liability, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to any claim being made or action brought against BDB alleging that BDB’s manufacture of Products in accordance with this Agreement infringes the intellectual or industrial property rights of a third party, provided that BDB (a) promptly notifies the AMYRIS in writing of the claim; (b) grants AMYRIS sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim; and (c) provides AMYRIS with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the claim, at AMYRIS’s expense. Notwithstanding
