SECTION 4

FUNDING OF THE JOINT VENTURE

4.1 Intentions. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 below, the Parties mutually express their intention that the Joint Venture be equally funded by both shareholders during the entire term of the Joint Venture.

4.2 USM Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in relation to the capital increases that must be subscribed and paid in by the shareholders to finance the CAPEX investments related to Phase 1 and Phase 2, it is hereby agreed that USM’s aggregate equity investment 14 directed to finance such CAPEX investments shall be limited to R$ 61.770.000,00 (sixty-one million, seven hundred and seventy thousand reais) (the “USM Cap”). For each of Phase 1 and Phase 2, USM’s obligation to make equity contributions to the Company will be limited to R$ 30.885.000,00 (thirty million, eight hundred eighty-five thousand reais) (“Phase Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case the Phase Cap is exceeded in Phase 1 and not reached in Phase 2, USM shall make an additional contribution at the end of Phase 2 in the amount corresponding to fifty percent (50%) of the actual costs of Phase 1 that exceeds the Phase Cap for Phase 1, provided that, in any case, this additional contribution shall be subject to USM Cap which will apply to the total amount of CAPEX contributions made by USM in relation to Phase 1 and Phase 2 and, provided, further, that Phase 2 is implemented by the Company.

[*]	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.

4.2.1 For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the USM Cap shall not accrue interest or monetary restatement.

4.3 CAPEX Overages. In the event the CAPEX requirements related to Phase 1 and Phase 2 would be in excess of R$ 123.540.000,00 (one hundred and twenty-three million, five hundred and forty thousand reais), the amount of the difference shall be exclusively financed by equity contributions to be made by Amyris Brasil, provided that any such capital increases shall not cause any dilution to USM. For purpose of clarification USM and Amyris Brasil shall always have the same number of shares, notwithstanding the amounts invested by them in the Company.

4.4 Exclusions from Cap. The USM Cap shall not apply to financing required for the OPEX needs of the Company, which will always be funded pro-rata to the equity interest held by each shareholder in the Company, in the form to be mutually agreed by them. USM’s obligation to fund any and all OPEX-including those incurred since the incorporation date of the Company-will be conditioned upon USM’s obligation to fund the CAPEX needs related to Phase 1, as contemplated in Section 4.8. Moreover, the USM Cap shall not apply after the completion of Phase 2-i.e., once the JV Plant reaches the capacity to produce JV Products from sugar cane syrup obtained from crushing of 2,000,000 (two million) tons of sugar cane.

4.5 Material Adverse Impact. The investments to be made by the Parties in the Company and the existence of the Joint Venture itself are based on the assumption that the JV Plant will not cause a Material Adverse Impact on Usina São Martinho or on the Company itself.

4.6.1 Each of USM and Amyris shall subscribe for fifty percent (50%) of the Initial Equity Contribution, in immediately available funds.

4.7 Issuance of Securities to Fund Phase 1. The Parties hereby agree that, in addition to the Initial Equity Contribution, Phase 1 shall be initially funded exclusively by Amyris Brasil by means of acquisition of warrants (bônus de subscrição) or other securities or debt convertible into equity securities issued by the Company or any other form of advance for a future equity contribution (“Securities”). For sake of clarification, the Parties acknowledge that such funding shall only occur after the relevant Board of Directors’ approval.

4.8 USM Funding Obligation. Within one (1) year after the date when the Company starts to operate according to the terms of the First Individual Agreement and provided that Amyris Brasil is not in breach of any of its obligations under the First Individual Agreement, Amyris Brasil must convert all-and not less than all-of the Securities into newly issued shares of the Company and, Simultaneously with such conversion, USM will be obliged to purchase from Amyris Brasil 50% (fifty percent) of such newly issued shares. The purchase price of such Shares shall be equivalent to 50% (fifty percent) of the amount paid or contributed by Amyris Brasil to acquire the Phase 1 Securities, limited to the Phase Cap. Alternatively, if the initial funding is fully or partially provided by Amyris Brasil as loan, USM may subscribe for new shares, in which case the proceeds thereof will be used to repay the corresponding part of such debt (always limited to the Phase Cap). The final structure of any such contribution shall be mutually agreed by the Parties before the first contribution is made by Amyris Brasil following the incorporation of the Company.

4.8.1 At all times, including after the events referred to above, each of the shareholders shall hold exactly fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s capital stock. After USM complies with its funding obligations of Phase 1, none of the Securities shall remain outstanding. The Parties may mutually agree upon a different form to achieve this same result.

4.8.2 USM and Amyris shall have the right to pay the Company’s capital stock through the contribution of equipment or immediately available funds, provided that any equipment to be contributed to the Company must be part of the JV Work Plan (including its cost and delivery date) approved by the Board of Directors.

4.8.2.1 Amyris Brasil shall not be entitled to deliver or request the delivery to Usina São Martinho’s site or to the Company’s site of any equipment which it intends to contribute to the Company as per Section 4.8.2, unless such equipment is included in the JV Work Plan approved by the Board of Directors.

4.8.3 USM will only be entitled to receive dividends or interest on net equity from the Company after it has complied with its obligations under Section 4.8. Before such date, any payments that are due by the Company to USM on account of dividends or interest on net equity must be held by the Company or deposited in a special restricted bank account for future distribution to USM. In case of termination of the Joint Venture prior to the actual payment of such amounts to USM, such amounts should be paid to USM and the consideration that Amyris Brasil shall pay to USM under the terms of this Agreement shall be reduced by such amounts.

4.8.4 USM shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make its Phase 1 CAPEX contributions prior to the deadline set forth above and, in connection therewith, to request the conversion by Amyris Brasil of the Securities into newly issued shares of the Company and the sale of 50% (fifty percent) of such shares to USM, or the implementation of any other form agreed by Parties, before the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the First Individual Agreement, after which time USM shall be obligated to fund any remaining portion of Phase 1 CAPEX (if any) up to the Phase Cap limit.

4.9 Approval of Phase 2. After the first anniversary of the effective date of the First Individual Agreement, the Parties will be obliged to authorize and/or cause its representatives at the Board of Directors to authorize the Phase 2 CAPEX investments, unless (a) the Parties mutually agree that the incremental additional production capacity is not technically and/or economically viable (i.e., if the off-take agreements or purchase orders that may be executed with third parties do not provide for a minimum price to be mutually agreed by the Parties); or (b) should the implementation of Phase 2 implies in an actual risk of causing a Material Adverse Impact on Usina São Martinho or the Company (as determined by an independent reputable consultant on reasonable grounds).

4.10 Subsequent Capital Contributions for Phase 2. Both shareholders shall equally fund the investments necessary to implement Phase 2 by means of capital contributions, provided that USM’s obligation to fund Phase 2 shall be limited to the Phase Cap.

4.10.1 After USM and Amyris Brasil have fulfilled with their obligation referred to in Section 4.10, Amyris Brasil shall be required to fund all additional CAPEX investments necessary for the JV Plant to reach a capacity of producing the JV Products from sugar cane syrup obtained from crushing of 2,000,000 (two million) tons of sugar cane. The eventual additional funding to be provided by Amyris Brasil under this Section 4.10.1 shall not cause any dilution of USM’s ownership interest in the Company. For purpose of clarification USM and Amyris Brasil shall always have the same number of shares, notwithstanding the amounts invested by them in the Company.

Notwithstanding the above, the Parties may mutually agree that the Fair Market Value shall be determined by only one jointly chosen specialized investment bank, with the same characteristics above (“Sole Appraiser”). The Appraisers (or the Sole Appraiser, as the case may be) shall be engaged by the Company but the costs arising in connection with the determination of the Fair Market Value shall be equally shared by the Shareholders. The Company shall provide both Appraisers (or the Sole Appraiser, as the case may be) with the same information that may be required by any Appraiser (or the Sole Appraiser, as the case may be);

(iii) if any Appraiser (or the Sole Appraiser, as the case may be) presents a value range/band instead of a single value, the Fair Market Value provided by such Appraiser (or the Sole Appraiser, as the case may be) shall be the average of such value range/band, provided that such band shall not exceed in any event [*];

(iv) the Appraisers (or the Sole Appraiser, as the case may be) shall determine the Fair Market Value within thirty (30) days as from the date on which they were engaged for such purpose, and the result of their work shall be submitted simultaneously to the Company and all shareholders in writing;

(v) if the difference between the Fair Market Values assessed by each Appraiser - subject to the provision of item (iii) above - is lower or equal to [*], the Fair Market Value shall be the average of both appraisals; if such difference exceeds such percentage, the Appraisers shall have five (5) Business Days as from the date on which the two (2) Fair Market Values were presented

[*]	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.
