of arachidonic acid, (b) certain formulations for that product, (c) certain compounds and (d)
certain applications. Martek has also obtained certain governmental regulatory approvals for the
use of arachidonic acid in infant formula.
1.2 Martek and DSM entered into an ARA Alliance, Purchase, and Production Agreement as of
April 19, 2004 (the “Signing Date”), but with effect as of and as though entered into on January 1,
2004 (the “Effective Date of the Alliance”) pursuant to which Martek and DSM agreed to certain
cross-licensing, purchase, and production arrangements (the “Alliance Agreement”) relating to
arachidonic acid, and entered into a related August 2004 letter agreement (the “August 2004 Letter
Agreement”).
1.3 Martek and DSM entered into a First Amendment to the Alliance Agreement (the “First

1.4 Martek and DSM entered into a Second Amendment to the Alliance Agreement (the “Second
Amendment”) effective as of the 1st day of January 2007 (the “Effective Date of the Second
Amendment”) that sets forth certain further amendments to the Alliance Agreement.
1.5 Martek and DSM thereafter entered into a letter agreement (the “Guarantee Remainder
Letter”) dated as of April 23, 2008 to address certain commitments under the Alliance Agreement, as
amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment.
1.6 Martek and DSM entered into a Heads of Agreement for the Third Amendment of the DSM-Martek
Alliance Agreement dated December 23, 2008 (the “Heads of Agreement”).
1.7 Martek and DSM now desire to enter into this Restated Agreement in order to consolidate
and restate the Alliance Agreement, as amended by the 2004 Letter Agreement, the First Amendment,
the Second Amendment and the Guarantee Remainder Letter and as supplemented by the Heads of
Agreement, and to make further amendments to the rights and obligations of the parties hereto,
effective as of the Restatement Effective Date, all as set forth herein.
1.8 Martek and DSM acknowledge that without the covenants, commitments and agreements relating
to Intellectual Property cross-licensing, potential reciprocal capacity expansion, purchase and
supply relationships, and certain other information-sharing and interdependencies set forth in the
Alliance Agreement (as amended to date) and this Restated Agreement, DSM and Martek would not be
able or willing to contribute their complementary resources to cooperative marketing and joint

ability to sell and/or use such ARA Products shall be limited to the extent expressly provided in
this Restated Agreement.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 3.3, Martek agrees that neither it nor
any of its Affiliates shall sell, directly or indirectly, in any calendar year, a combined
aggregate quantity of ARA Products that contains more than forty thousand (40,000) Units of ARA, as
adjusted pursuant to Section 3.1(c) immediately below, that are derived from ARA Products other
than those that Martek has purchased from DSM pursuant to this Restated Agreement (the “Martek

(c) In the event of a DSM Shortfall during any calendar year, the Martek Allocation for that
calendar year will be increased according to and subject to Section 3.3(b) during the calendar year
in which such DSM Shortfall has occurred by the number of Units of ARA necessary to meet such DSM
Shortfall and, unless otherwise provided in Section 3.3(b), the Martek Allocation will
automatically revert for the next calendar year to ARA Products containing forty thousand (40,000)
Units of ARA that are derived from ARA Products other than those that Martek has purchased from DSM
pursuant to this Restated Agreement.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Restated Agreement, Martek shall purchase
from DSM all of its requirements for ARA Products. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Restated Agreement, the parties agree that where (i) Martek has developed an ARA
Product wherein the ARA content is greater than * but no more than * of total fatty acids (a “New

Martek for the amount (by weight or percent of total) of Spent Biomass (the “Spent Biomass Order”)
produced during such calendar quarter at Martek’s facilities and at Martek’s Third Party Toll
Manufacturers that DSM desires. For each calendar quarter for which Martek receives a Spent
Biomass Order from DSM, Martek shall transport to and store for DSM at Martek’s production
facilities an amount of Spent Biomass equal to the lesser of (i) the amount specified in such Spent
Biomass Order or (ii) the total aggregate amount of Spent Biomass that Martek and such Third Party
Toll Manufacturers produce during such quarter. DSM shall arrange for the Spent Biomass that is
the subject of a Spent Biomass Order to be removed from Martek’s premises no later than thirty (30)
days following the end of the related calendar quarter, otherwise Martek shall have the right to
dispose of such Spent Biomass. DSM shall pay all third party costs and shall reimburse Martek
within forty-five (45) days of receipt of invoice from Martek for all of its direct costs in
connection with the storage at and transportation from Martek’s production facilities of Spent
Biomass that is the subject of a Spent Biomass Order including but not limited to direct costs
related to salvaging Spent Biomass, but otherwise DSM shall not pay Martek or any Third Party Toll
Manufacturer for such Spent Biomass, and such storage and transportation costs shall not be
included in any calculation of the Agreed Price. It is understood and agreed that Martek shall
have the right to destroy or discard any Spent Biomass that is not the subject of a Spent Biomass
Order or that Martek in its sole discretion determines is hazardous to store.

3.3. Martek Production.
(a) Subject to Martek’s rights under Section 5.5(d), Martek shall be entitled to produce ARA
Products only at its own facility or at a Third Party Toll Manufacturer that shall be reasonably
acceptable to DSM taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances, including without
limitation DSM’s proprietary interests in any DSM Proprietary Technology, DSM Improvements and/or
Production Technology proposed by Martek to be used by such Third Party Toll Manufacturer as well
as DSM’s competitive relationship with the proposed Third Party Toll Manufacturer. Martek will
obtain written approval from DSM, not to be unreasonably withheld, prior to using the DSM
Proprietary Technology, DSM Improvements and/or Production Technology at such Third Party Toll
Manufacturer for the production of such ARA Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing DSM shall have
the right in its sole discretion to reject a proposed Third Party Toll Manufacturer based upon
DSM’s competitive relationship therewith or its good faith concern regarding DSM’s proprietary
interest in DSM Proprietary Technology, DSM Improvements and/or Production Technology if such
proposed Third Party Toll Manufacturer would perform work relating to the processing of Finished
Oil or equivalents thereof, provided that DSM itself performs the work that would otherwise be
performed by such rejected Third Party Toll Manufacturer or proposes an alternative Third Party
Toll Manufacturer reasonably acceptable to Martek to perform such work, in each case at a cost to
Martek substantially equivalent to the cost that Martek would incur if such work had been performed
by the rejected Third Party Toll Manufacturer. Upon DSM’s acceptance of any such Third Party Toll
Manufacturer, Martek shall take all reasonable measures to protect DSM’s proprietary interests in
the DSM Proprietary Technology, DSM Improvements and/or Production Technology while such DSM
Proprietary Technology, DSM Improvements and/or Production Technology are being used by such Third
Party Toll Manufacturer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Martek shall, as soon as practicable,
discontinue using the DSM Proprietary Technology, DSM Improvements and/or Production Technology at
such Third Party Toll Manufacturer if at any time following discussions with DSM either Martek or
DSM reasonably determines that the continued use by such Third Party Toll Manufacturer of DSM
Proprietary Technology, DSM Improvements and/or Production Technology would be reasonably likely to
pose a threat to DSM’s proprietary interests in such DSM Proprietary Technology, DSM Improvements
and/or Production Technology; the party making such determination shall notify the other party
immediately upon making such determination and Martek shall give DSM all reasonable assistance in
connection with any efforts by DSM to protect DSM’s proprietary interests in such DSM Proprietary
Technology, DSM Improvements and/or Production Technology. In the event that Martek manufactures
such ARA Products at its own facilities or at any Third Party Toll Manufacturer solely for purposes
of responding to a DSM Shortfall using the DSM Proprietary Technology, DSM Improvements and/or
Production Technology, DSM will assist Martek at Martek’s request by providing reasonable ARA
manufacturing assistance to Martek and Martek shall reimburse DSM for DSM’s reasonable costs and
expenses incurred in connection with providing such assistance.

(b) If DSM Shortfalls occur for * as a result of a Force Majeure Event or otherwise, or are
projected for the next succeeding * (based on DSM’s Three Year Rolling Production Forecast under
Section 3.5(b) and the Martek Three Year Rolling Forecast), the Martek Allocation shall be
increased by the number of Units of ARA necessary to meet such
DSM Shortfalls for the current calendar year and for subsequent calendar years until DSM
notifies Martek in good faith in writing that it is able to meet Martek’s then current Three Year
Rolling Forecast (the “Resume Notice Date”); provided, however, that if the Resume Notice Date is
prior to July 1st in the relevant calendar year, the Martek Allocation shall revert to
40,000 Units of ARA effective January 1 of the calendar year immediately following the year in
which the Resume Notice Date occurs, and if the Resume Notice Date is on or after July
1st in the relevant calendar year, the Martek Allocation for such year shall equal the
greater of (i) 40,000 Units of ARA and (ii) the number of Units of ARA manufactured, acquired or
committed to be acquired by Martek in reliance on the increased Martek Allocation during the
remainder of the calendar year during which the Resume Notice Date occurs (but not to exceed the
Units of ARA resulting from a DSM Shortfall(s)) and the Martek Allocation for the following
calendar year shall be equal to 40,000 Units of ARA plus the number of Units of ARA committed to be
acquired by Martek in reliance on the increased Martek Allocation during the portion of the six
month period following the Resume Notice Date that extends into such following calendar year, and
shall revert to 40,000 Units of ARA after the end of the calendar year following the calendar year
in which the Resume Notice Date occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Martek will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to shorten any period before resuming purchases from DSM and shall
purchase as much ARA Products as is commercially reasonable from DSM during any period following
the Resume Notice Date.
It is understood and agreed between the parties hereto that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Restated Agreement, variations up to * between: i) the aggregate amount of ARA
Products requested in Martek Purchase Orders for delivery during a calendar quarter and ii) the
aggregate amount of ARA Products actually delivered by DSM to Martek during such calendar quarter
in response to such Martek Purchase Orders, to the extent resulting from (x) use of the preliminary
Biomass conversion factor (which factor is determined by the Committee), (y) variations of no more
than * in the exact date of delivery and/or (z) the use of the preliminary budget extraction factor
(which factor is determined by the Committee), shall not be considered in determining whether a DSM
Shortfall has occurred. If Martek determines in good faith that, prior to adjusting the delivered
amounts of ARA Product in any calendar quarter for deviations in quantities resulting from the
causes referred to above, a DSM Shortfall has occurred, then Martek will confirm the preliminary
amount of the alleged DSM Shortfall to DSM within thirty (30) days following the end of any such
calendar quarter within which the alleged DSM Shortfall occurred.

Any unfilled portion of a Martek Purchase Order applicable to a quarter shall be reduced by
the increase in the Martek Allocation, if any, in the immediately following quarter.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Restated Agreement, for any Martek Purchase Order
that is confirmed by DSM pursuant to Section 3.5(c), but that is not completely filled by DSM
within ninety (90) days following the end of the calendar quarter within which delivery was
scheduled, the unfilled portion of such Martek Purchase Order shall no longer be deemed to be
subject to a binding Martek Purchase Order pursuant to Section 3.5 to the extent of such failure to
deliver, and DSM shall not be required to deliver, and Martek shall not be required to accept any
later delivery of, the unfilled portion of such Martek Purchase Order, unless otherwise
expressly agreed in writing by the parties. Delivery of ARA Products during the calendar
quarter immediately following the calendar quarter within which delivery of any unfilled portion of
a Martek Purchase Order was originally scheduled shall be considered delivery of such unfilled
portion of the Martek Purchase Order, before any such deliveries shall count against any Purchase
Orders calling for delivery subsequent to the Martek Purchase Order with respect to which there was
an unfilled portion. For clarity, the provisions of this paragraph shall not affect the Martek
Allocation determination provisions in the first paragraph of this Section 3.3(b).
(c) In the event (i) DSM Shortfalls are projected (based on DSM’s Three Year Rolling
Production Forecast and the Martek Three Year Rolling Forecast) or occur for * as a result of a
Force Majeure Event or otherwise, (ii) Martek has requested in writing that DSM expand its ARA
production capacities by a specified volume in excess of the capacity of * Units of ARA (which is
the agreed annual capacity * as of the Restatement Effective Date through December 31, 2014), (iii)
Martek has offered to guarantee to DSM that DSM would recoup its investment in so expanding its ARA
production capacities by such volume, through the DSM Xxxx Up received on purchase orders by Martek
for ARA Products over a period of * and (iv) DSM has not commenced construction to expand, within *
of Martek’s written request (or such longer period as the parties may agree), its ARA production
capacities by at least the specified volume or if DSM fails to proceed with diligence in such
expansion or fails to complete such expansion within * of such commencement, then Martek
shall be entitled to expand its ARA production capacity and/or subcontract production of ARA
Products to one or more third parties by the specified volume (the “Martek Expansion”), provided
that Martek provides DSM with written notice prior to commencing construction and commences
construction of such expansion or enters into a subcontracting arrangement within * of its written
request as referred to under (ii) herein and, in the case of expansion activities, pursues them to
completion with diligence and completes such expansion within * of such commencement.
(d) Any Martek Expansion shall permanently add to the Martek Allocation unless there is a
Capacity Dispute related to such Martek Expansion. If a Capacity Dispute occurs the parties shall
attempt, in good faith, to agree upon the amount of the DSM Shortfall expected pursuant to Section
3.3(c). If the parties reach agreement upon the amount of such DSM Shortfall and Martek proceeds
with a Martek Expansion pursuant to Section 3.3(c), the then current Martek Allocation shall be
permanently increased by the amount of such DSM Shortfall. If the parties cannot resolve the
Capacity Dispute, the parties shall proceed to arbitration pursuant to Section 10.5 and the
arbitrators shall determine whether, pursuant to Section 3.3(c), a DSM Shortfall is projected, and
the extent of such DSM Shortfall. In making such determination, the arbitrators shall only consider
the facilities dedicated to ARA production, technology, processes, formulas, and expertise that
were in existence at the time the Capacity Dispute first arose and the technology, processes and
formulas that were reasonably contemplated and known by the Committee at the time of the Capacity
Dispute. The Martek Allocation shall be permanently increased by the amount of the DSM Shortfall as
so determined by the arbitrators.
(e) In the event that after such a Martek Expansion, Martek’s demand for ARA Products
decreases resulting in a decrease of required production capacity, such decrease shall be shared
pro rata by the parties.

3.4. Extraction and RBD Services.
(a) The parties agree that DSM and its Affiliates will have the right, either directly or
through one or more Third Party Toll Manufacturers, to perform Extraction of Biomass to produce an
unlimited amount of Crude Oil, but their respective ability to sell and/or use ARA Products
resulting therefrom shall be limited to the extent expressly provided in this Restated Agreement.
Except as expressly set forth below, DSM agrees that in any calendar year neither it nor its
Affiliates shall sell, directly or indirectly, a combined aggregate quantity of ARA Products into
any DSM XXX Xxxxxx of Use and/or any DSM Adult ARA Applications that contain more than the greater
of (i) forty thousand (40,000) Units of ARA and (ii) the Crude Oil requirements for the DSM XXX
Xxxxxx of Use (the “DSM Extraction Allocation”) as adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.4(a), that
are not derived from ARA Products on which Martek performed Extraction services pursuant to this
Restated Agreement. In the event of a Martek Shortfall during any calendar year relating to
Martek’s provision of Extraction services to DSM, the DSM Extraction Allocation for the calendar
year in which such Martek Shortfall has occurred shall be increased by the number of Units of ARA
necessary to meet such Martek Shortfall, and the DSM Extraction Allocation will automatically
revert for the next calendar year to an amount of Crude Oil equal to the greater of (i) forty
thousand (40,000) Units of ARA and (ii) the Crude Oil requirements for the DSM XXX Xxxxxx of Use.
In the event Martek Shortfalls relating to Martek’s provision of Extraction services to DSM occur
for * as a result of a Force Majeure Event or otherwise or are projected for the next succeeding *
based on Martek’s Three Year Rolling Services Forecast under Section 3.6(b) and the DSM Three Year
Rolling Forecast for Extraction services under Section 3.6(a), the DSM Extraction Allocation shall
be increased accordingly until such time that is * following the date that Martek notifies DSM in
good faith in writing that it is able to meet DSM’s then current Three Year Rolling Forecast for
Extraction services. DSM will use its commercially reasonable efforts to shorten such * period and
purchase as much Extraction services as commercially reasonable from Martek during such period. In
the event of a Martek Shortfall and upon DSM’s written request, Martek shall return to DSM the
portion of ARA Products delivered by DSM pursuant to Section 3.8(b) on which Martek has not yet
performed Extraction services.
(b) DSM and its Affiliates will have the right, either directly or through one or more Third
Party Toll Manufacturers, to perform RBD services on an unlimited amount of Crude Oil but their
respective ability to sell and/or use ARA Products resulting therefrom shall be limited to the
extent expressly provided in this Restated Agreement. Except as expressly set forth below, DSM
agrees that in any calendar year neither it nor its Affiliates shall sell, directly or indirectly,
a combined aggregate quantity of ARA Products into any DSM ARA Field of Use and/or any DSM Adult
ARA Applications that contain more than the greater of (i) forty thousand (40,000) Units of ARA and
(ii) the Finished Oil requirements for the DSM XXX Xxxxxx of Use (the

“DSM RBD Services
Allocation”) as adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.4(b), that are not derived from ARA Products on which Martek performed RBD services pursuant to this Restated
Agreement. In the event of a Martek Shortfall during any calendar year relating to Martek’s
provision of RBD services to DSM, the DSM RBD Services Allocation for the calendar year in which
such Martek Shortfall has occurred shall be increased by the number of Units of ARA necessary to
meet such Martek Shortfall and, unless otherwise provided below, the DSM RBD Services Allocation
will automatically revert for the next calendar year to an amount of Finished Oil equal to the
greater of (i) forty thousand (40,000) Units of ARA and (ii) the Finished Oil requirements for the
DSM XXX Xxxxxx of Use. In the event Martek Shortfalls relating to Martek’s provision of RBD
services to DSM occur for * as a result of a Force Majeure Event or otherwise, or are projected for
the next succeeding * based on Martek’s Three Year Rolling Services Forecast under Section 3.6(b)
and the DSM Three Year Rolling Forecast under Section 3.6(a) for RBD services, the DSM RBD Services
Allocation shall be increased by the number of Units of ARA necessary to meet such Martek
Shortfalls for the current calendar year and for subsequent calendar years until Martek notifies
DSM in good faith in writing that it is able to meet DSM’s then current Three Year Rolling Forecast
for RBD services (the “RBD Resume Notice Date”); provided, however, that if the RBD Resume Notice
Date is prior to July 1st in the relevant calendar year, the DSM Allocation shall revert
to 40,000 Units of ARA effective January 1 of the calendar year immediately following the year in
which the RBD Resume Notice Date occurs, and if the RBD Resume Notice Date is on or after July
1st in the relevant calendar year, the DSM RBD Services Allocation for such year shall
equal the greater of (i) 40,000 Units of ARA and (ii) the number of Units of ARA that DSM has
completed (or committed to have completed) RBD services Martek in reliance on the increased DSM RBD
Services Allocation during the remainder of the calendar year during which the RBD Resume Notice
Date occurs (but not to exceed the Units of ARA resulting from a Martek Shortfall(s)) and the DSM
RBD Services Allocation for the following calendar year shall be equal to 40,000 Units of ARA plus
the number of Units of ARA that DSM has completed (or committed to have completed) RBD services in
reliance on the increased DSM RBD Services Allocation during the portion of the six month period
following the RBD Resume Notice Date that extends into such following calendar year, and shall
revert to 40,000 Units of ARA after the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which the RBD Resume Notice Date occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DSM will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to shorten any period before resuming purchases from Martek and
shall purchase as much RBD services as is commercially reasonable from Martek during any period
following the RBD Resume Notice Date. In the event of a Martek Shortfall and upon DSM’s written
request, Martek shall return to DSM the portion of ARA Products delivered by DSM pursuant to
Section 3.8(b) on which Martek has not yet performed RBD services.

21
(c) Subject to DSM’s rights under Section 5.5(d), DSM shall be entitled to perform RBD
services only at its own facility or at a Third Party Toll Manufacturer that shall be reasonably
acceptable to Martek taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances, including without
limitation Martek’s proprietary interests in the Martek Proprietary Technology, Martek Improvements
and/or Production Technology proposed by DSM to be used by such Third Party Toll Manufacturer as
well as Martek’s competitive relationship with such proposed Third Party Toll Manufacturer. DSM
will obtain written approval from Martek, not to
be unreasonably withheld, prior to using the Martek Proprietary Technology, Martek
Improvements and/or Production Technology at such Third Party Toll Manufacturer for the performance
of such RBD services. Notwithstanding the foregoing Martek shall have the right in its sole
discretion to reject a proposed Third Party Toll Manufacturer based upon Martek’s competitive
relationship therewith or its good faith concern regarding Martek’s proprietary interest in Martek
Proprietary Technology, Martek Improvements and/or Production Technology if such proposed Third
Party Toll Manufacturer would perform work relating to the processing of Finished Oil or
equivalents thereof, provided that Martek itself performs the work that would otherwise be
performed by such rejected Third Party Toll Manufacturer or proposes an alternative Third Party
Toll Manufacturer reasonably acceptable to DSM to perform such work, in each case at a cost to DSM
substantially equivalent to the cost that DSM would incur if such work had been performed by the
rejected Third Party Toll Manufacturer. Upon Martek’s acceptance of any such Third Party Toll
Manufacturer, DSM shall take all reasonable measures to protect Martek’s proprietary interests in
the Martek Proprietary Technology, Martek Improvements and/or Production Technology while such
Martek Proprietary Technology, Martek Improvements and/or Production Technology are being used by
such Third Party Toll Manufacturer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DSM shall, as soon as
practicable, discontinue using the Martek Proprietary Technology, Martek Improvements and/or
Production Technology at such Third Party Toll Manufacturer if at any time following discussions
with Martek either Martek or DSM reasonably determines that the continued use by such Third Party
Toll Manufacturer of such Martek Proprietary Technology, Martek Improvements and/or Production
Technology would be reasonably likely to pose a threat to Martek’s proprietary interests in such
Martek Proprietary Technology, Martek Improvements and/or Production Technology; the party making
such determination shall notify the other party immediately upon making such determination and DSM
shall give Martek all reasonable assistance in connection with any efforts by Martek to protect
Martek’s proprietary interests in such Martek Proprietary Technology, Martek Improvements and/or
Production Technology. In the event that DSM performs such RBD Services at its own facilities, or
at any Third Party Toll Manufacturer solely for purposes of responding to a Martek Shortfall using
the Martek Proprietary Technology, Martek Improvements and/or Production Technology, Martek will
assist DSM at DSM’s request by providing reasonable ARA manufacturing assistance to DSM and DSM
shall reimburse Martek for Martek’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with
providing such assistance.
(d) The parties agree that at any time during the term of this Restated Agreement DSM shall
have the right to create and use a “DSM Expansion” in connection with the provision of RBD services
and Extraction on terms and conditions, mutatis mutandis, as those set forth in
Section 3.3(c) and (d) applicable to a Martek Expansion.

3.5. Martek Three Year Rolling Forecasts; Martek Firm Orders.
(a) Two months prior to the first day of each calendar quarter, Martek will submit to DSM a
good faith forecast of Martek’s demand of ARA Products, broken down by ARA Product, for each of the
following twelve (12) quarters (each, a “Martek Three Year
Rolling Forecast”), which shall include (i) a firm order by Martek of ARA Products, broken
down by ARA Product, for each month during the first calendar quarter covered by such Martek Three
Year Rolling Forecast (a “Martek Firm Order”) and (ii) Martek’s good faith estimate of Martek’s
demand for ARA Products, broken down by ARA Product, for each of the following eleven (11) quarters
covered by such Martek Three Year Rolling Forecast.
(b) One month prior to the first day of each calendar quarter, DSM will submit to Martek a
good faith forecast of DSM’s production capabilities of ARA Products, broken down by ARA Product,
for each of the following twelve (12) quarters (“DSM Three Year Rolling Production Forecast”).
(c) No later than two (2) weeks prior to the first day of each calendar quarter, Martek shall
issue a Martek Purchase Order to DSM for ARA Products for that quarter that shall be no less than
the amount indicated in the related Martek Firm Order. Each Martek Purchase Order shall include
delivery instructions that satisfy the requirements of Section 3.7. No later than one (1) week
prior to the first day of each calendar quarter, DSM will issue a DSM Confirmation Letter to Martek
indicating the extent to which DSM accepts such Martek Purchase Order.
(d) DSM shall use its good faith efforts to deliver the amount of ARA Products ordered in a
Martek Purchase Order and shall be entitled to deliver up to an additional ten percent (10%) of
such amount so ordered, provided that the amount delivered by DSM in the next succeeding calendar
quarter pursuant to a Martek Purchase Order for that quarter shall be reduced by such additional
amount, unless otherwise requested by Martek. In the event that Martek’s demand for ARA Products
substantially and persistently exceeds the Martek Three Year Rolling Forecast the parties shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to make arrangements to meet such extra demand.
(e) It is understood and agreed that, in the event that Martek shall issue a Martek Purchase
Order for ARA Products in an amount greater than that set forth in the related Martek Firm Order,
DSM shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accept such Martek Purchase Order to the
extent of such greater amount.
(f) The parties acknowledge that Martek’s orders and forecasts for ARA Products set forth in
this Section 3.5 shall not include those ARA Products upon which DSM requests Martek to perform
Martek Services pursuant to Section 3.6.

3.6. DSM Three Year Rolling Forecast; DSM Firm Orders.
(a) Two months prior to the first day of each calendar quarter, DSM will submit to Martek a
good faith forecast of DSM’s demand for Martek Services, broken down by Extraction and RBD
Services, for each of the following twelve (12) quarters (each, a “DSM Three Year Rolling
Forecast”), which shall include (i) a firm order by DSM for Martek Services, broken down by
Extraction and RBD Services, for each month during the first calendar quarter
covered by such DSM Three Year Rolling Forecast (a “DSM Firm Order”) and (ii) DSM’s good faith
estimate of DSM’s demand for Martek Services, broken down by Extraction and RBD Services, for each
of the following eleven (11) quarters covered by such DSM Three Year Rolling Forecast.
(b) One month prior to the first day of each calendar quarter, Martek will submit to DSM a
good faith forecast of Martek Services capabilities, broken down by Extraction and RBD Services,
for each of the following twelve (12) quarters (“Martek Three Year Rolling Services Forecast”).
(c) No later than two (2) weeks prior to the first day of each calendar quarter, DSM shall
issue a DSM Purchase Order to Martek for Martek Services, broken down by Extraction and/or RBD
Services, for that quarter that shall be no less than the amount indicated in the related DSM Firm
Order. Each DSM Purchase Order shall include delivery instructions that satisfy the requirements
of Section 3.7. No later than one (1) week prior to the first day of each calendar quarter, Martek
will issue a Martek Confirmation Letter to DSM indicating the extent to which Martek accepts such
DSM Purchase Order.
(d) Martek shall use its good faith efforts to perform the Martek Services ordered in a DSM
Purchase Order and to deliver the resulting ARA Products to DSM no later than thirty (30) days
after delivery by DSM to Martek of the ARA Products upon which Martek will perform the Martek
Services.
(e) It is understood and agreed that, in the event that DSM shall issue a DSM Purchase Order
for Martek Services in an amount greater than that set forth in the related DSM Firm Order, Martek
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accept such DSM Purchase Order to the extent of
such greater amount.
3.7. Delivery Instructions.
(a) Martek shall submit delivery instructions to DSM for all quantities of ARA Products
subject to Martek Purchase Orders placed in accordance with Section 3.5. Such delivery
instructions shall be included in the Martek Purchase Orders and shall identify (i) the quantity of
ARA Products required, (ii) the required delivery date, (iii) the address to which the shipment
shall be delivered, and (iv) any other applicable shipping instructions.
(b) DSM shall submit delivery instructions to Martek for all quantities of ARA Products that
are to be produced through the Martek Services and subject to a DSM Purchase Order placed in
accordance with Section 3.6. Such delivery instructions shall be included in the DSM Purchase

3.8. Shipment.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.5(c) and 3.5(d), during a month, DSM shall deliver
quantities of ARA Products covered by the Martek Purchase Order for the month on the later of (i)
the last business day of the month or (ii) ten (10) days after receipt of delivery instructions
from Martek. All such shipments shall be EXW, DSM’s (or DSM’s Third Party Toll Manufacturer’s)
facility. For purposes hereof, each order shall be deemed to have been “delivered”, and risk of
loss with respect to each such shipment shall pass from DSM to Martek, upon DSM making the shipment
available at DSM’s (or DSM’s Third Party Toll Manufacturer’s) facility to a carrier agreed upon by
the Committee for transport to the location specified in the Martek Purchase Order, and Martek
shall have the right to insure such shipment from and after such delivery. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, DSM shall retain title to all shipments of ARA Products covered by the Martek Purchase
Order until payment is received, whereupon title shall pass to Martek.
(b) In addition, DSM shall deliver to Martek additional quantities of ARA Products sufficient
for Martek to perform the Martek Services requested by DSM pursuant to a DSM Purchase Order and all
such quantities delivered shall be clearly identified by DSM and distinguished from ARA Products
delivered pursuant to Section 3.8(a). The roundtrip shipment cost of all such shipments shall be
borne by DSM. For purposes hereof, each order shall be deemed to have been “delivered”, and risk of
loss with respect to each such shipment shall pass from DSM to Martek upon delivery to Martek at
Martek’s facility by a carrier agreed upon by the Committee for transport to the location specified
in the DSM Purchase Order, and shall pass back to DSM upon delivery of the ARA Products to such
carrier at Martek’s facility following the performance by Martek of the Martek Services thereon.
DSM shall at all times retain title to all ARA Products that are provided for purposes of Martek
performing Martek Services.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.6(c) and 3.6(d), during a month, Martek shall
deliver quantities of ARA Products covered by the DSM Purchase Order for the month on the later of
(i) the last business day of the month or (ii) ten (10) days after receipt of delivery instructions
from DSM. All orders shall be shipped EXW, Martek’s (or Martek’s Third Party Toll Manufacturer’s)
facility. For purposes hereof, each order shall be deemed to have been “delivered”, and risk of
loss with respect to each shipment shall pass from Martek to DSM upon Martek making the shipment
available at Martek’s (or Martek’s Third Party Toll Manufacturer’s) facility to a carrier agreed
upon by the Committee for transport to the location specified in the DSM Purchase Order, and DSM
shall have the right to insure such shipment from and after such delivery.

3.9. Order Fulfillment.
(a) DSM shall be responsible for, and shall retain the authority to exercise its own
discretion, in planning and arranging for supplies of ARA Products from any Third Party Toll
Manufacturers to fulfill DSM’s supply obligations to Martek hereunder. In such cases where
Production Technology is intended to be used by a Third Party Toll Manufacturer, DSM will obtain
Committee approval before proceeding.
(b) Subject to Section 3.3(a), Martek shall be responsible for, and shall retain the authority
to exercise its own discretion for, the performance of any Martek Services by any Third Party Toll
Manufacturers to fulfill Martek’s Service obligations to DSM hereunder.
3.10. Limitation on Breach.
(a) The parties understand and agree that, despite Martek’s commercially reasonable efforts to
provide accurate forecasts for its subsequent orders of ARA Products and DSM’s commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that a sufficient amount of ARA Products are produced based on such
forecasts and orders, it is likely that at times the demand by Martek for ARA Products from DSM may
exceed the ability of DSM to supply such ARA Products. Martek and DSM hereby agree that DSM will
not be in breach of this Restated Agreement if, despite its good faith efforts, DSM fails from time
to time to deliver the quantity of ARA Products ordered by Martek; provided that DSM is operating
its facilities at or near production capacity at such time and delivers to Martek substantially all
of the ARA Products that DSM produces at such time, subject to the provisions of Section 5.3.
(b) The parties understand and agree that, despite DSM’s commercially reasonable efforts to
provide accurate forecasts for its subsequent orders for Martek Services and Martek’s commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that it meets the demand for Martek Services based on such forecasts
and orders, it is likely that at times the demand by DSM for Martek Services may exceed the ability
of Martek to supply such Martek Services. Martek and DSM hereby agree that Martek will not be in
breach of this Restated Agreement if, despite its good faith efforts, Martek fails from time to
time to perform the Martek Services ordered by DSM; provided that Martek is operating its
facilities at production capacity or near production capacity at such time.

4. QUALITY AND VERIFICATION
4.1. Verification of Production.
The parties shall perform ring testing procedures as agreed upon by the Committee to confirm
the accuracy of any relevant quality control assay procedure (including without limitation the ARA
Assay Procedure).
4.2. Certification of Analysis.
(a) For each DSM shipment of ARA Products ordered by Martek and delivered by DSM pursuant to
Section 3.8(a) or Section 3.8(b), DSM shall furnish to Martek within twenty-four (24) days after
shipment a certificate of analysis in the form attached hereto as Schedule 4.2(a) and signed by
DSM’s relevant QA/QC officer, which certifies the actual content of those components of the ARA
Products that are identified in the Specifications, as applicable.
(i) If DSM does not furnish the signed certificate of analysis within
twenty-four (24) days after shipment of ARA Products ordered by Martek pursuant to a
Martek Purchase Order, the amount of such shipment for which no signed certificate
of analysis was delivered shall to the extent that such amount brings the total of
the shipment below what has been set forth in the Martek Purchase Order be
immediately deemed to be a DSM Shortfall for the calendar year and the Martek
Allocation shall be increased accordingly in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 3.1(b) and 3.3. If Martek determines such shipment to be acceptable after
such twenty-four (24) day period, the Martek Allocation shall be automatically
reduced by the lesser of (i) the amount by which the Martek Allocation was increased
in respect of such shipment or (ii) the difference between the then current Martek
Allocation for such calendar year and the total number of Units of ARA that Martek
and its Affiliates have sold during such calendar year that were not derived from
ARA Products purchased from DSM. In the event DSM provides Martek with a draft or
unsigned version of a certificate of analysis to facilitate Martek’s determination
of whether or not it will accept or reject the related shipment, Martek shall
promptly consult with DSM and make such determination.
(ii) If DSM does not furnish the signed certificate of analysis within
twenty-four (24) days after shipment of ARA Products delivered by DSM pursuant to
Section 3.8(b), Martek may delay its performance of the Martek Services until the
applicable certificate of analysis is furnished.
(b) For each Martek shipment of ARA Products produced by the Martek Services, Martek shall
furnish to DSM within fourteen (14) days after shipment a certificate of analysis in the form
attached hereto as Schedule 4.2(b) and signed by Martek’s relevant QA/QC officer, which certifies
the actual content of those components of the ARA Products that are identified in the
Specifications, as applicable. If Martek does not furnish the signed certificate of analysis
within fourteen (14) days after shipment of such ARA Products, the amount of such shipment shall be
immediately deemed to be a Martek Shortfall for the calendar year and the DSM RBD Services
Allocation and/or DSM Extraction Allocation, as applicable, shall be increased accordingly in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4. If DSM determines such shipment to be acceptable
after such fourteen (14) day period, the DSM RBD Services Allocation and/or DSM Extraction
Allocation, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced by the lesser of (i) the amount by which
the DSM RBD Services Allocation and/or DSM Extraction Allocation, as applicable, was increased in
respect of such shipment or (ii) the difference between the then current DSM RBD Services
Allocation and/or DSM Extraction Allocation, as applicable, for such calendar year and the total
number of Units of ARA that are in ARA Products on which DSM and its Affiliates have performed RBD
and/or Extraction services, as applicable, during such calendar year. In the event Martek provides
DSM with a draft or unsigned version of a certificate of analysis to facilitate DSM’s determination
of whether or not it will accept or reject the related shipment, DSM shall promptly consult with
Martek and make a determination of whether to accept such shipment.

(c) DSM shall not be liable to Martek if Martek begins to process or delivers to a customer
any ARA Products before Martek has received a signed certificate of analysis from DSM; provided
however, notwithstanding Section 4.2(a) DSM shall be entitled to request Martek to perform Martek
Services on ARA Products prior to receipt by Martek of the related signed certificate of analysis,
in which event if Martek performs such Martek Services on such ARA Products then DSM shall assume
liability to the extent the ARA Products do not conform to the related Specifications. DSM shall
be under no obligation to replace, or to refund to Martek the purchase price of, any ARA Products
if Martek has so processed or sold such ARA Product to a customer before Martek has received a
signed certificate of analysis from DSM. In addition, Martek shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless DSM, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from
and against all actions, proceedings, costs, damages and claims (each, a “Claim”), including
reasonable counsel fees, that may be asserted against or incurred or suffered by any such Person
arising out of or relating to (i) any action taken by Martek with respect to any ARA Products
before Martek has received such a certificate of analysis from DSM, including without limitation
processing or delivery to a customer of ARA Products, whether such Claim is based upon a theory of
negligence, strict liability or otherwise or (ii) the sale or use by Martek of any ARA Products for
any application other than animal or human nutrition.
(d) Martek shall not be liable to DSM if DSM delivers to a customer any ARA Products upon
which Martek performed Martek Services before DSM has received a signed certificate of analysis
from Martek. Martek shall be under no obligation to replace, or to refund to DSM the cost of
Martek Services associated with the production of any ARA Products if DSM has so sold such ARA
Products to a customer before DSM has received a signed certificate of analysis from Martek. In
addition, DSM shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Martek, its Affiliates and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all Claims, including reasonable counsel
fees, that may be asserted against or incurred or suffered by any such Person arising out of or
relating to (i) any action taken by DSM with respect to any ARA Products upon which Martek
performed Martek Services before DSM has received such a certificate of analysis from Martek,
including without limitation delivery to a customer of such ARA Products, whether such Claim is
based upon a theory of negligence, strict liability or otherwise or (ii) the sale or use by DSM of
any ARA Products for any application other than animal or human nutrition.

4.3. Refined Biomass Specification; Specification Changes.
(a) The parties agree that promptly following the Restatement Effective Date, Martek and DSM
will undertake an analysis of historical data relating to Biomass and Finished Oil in order to
enable the parties to add to or edit the parameters, limits, ranges and/or methods as appropriate
to refine the Biomass Specifications in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2.16 so that they more
closely define the composition of Biomass actually received by Martek from DSM that has satisfied
all quality testing and analysis, produced Finished Oil meeting the Finished Oil Specifications and
that meets all regulatory and customer requirements, including those relating to analytical,
sensory and stability requirements of Finished Oil (the “Refined
Biomass Specifications”). Following the completion of the foregoing, which is expected to
take up to approximately *, Martek, in consultation with DSM, will define and deliver to the
Committee the proposed Refined Biomass Specifications. The Committee shall have thirty (30) days
thereafter during which it may accept the proposed Refined Biomass Specifications as final or agree
on changes necessary to finalize the Refined Biomass Specifications. If the Committee fails to
accept or to reach agreement on final Refined Biomass Specifications within such thirty (30) day
period, the disagreement will be deemed to be a Disputed Fact and will be resolved according to the
provisions set forth in Section 8.6(a). The final Refined Biomass Specifications will not be
considered a Specification change pursuant to Section 4.3(b) unless they include changes that
require adjustments to DSM’s then current manufacturing process, in which case the Committee shall
determine the impact that DSM’s adherence to the Refined Biomass Specifications will have on the
Agreed Price, the Martek Cost and delivery dates applicable to ARA Products produced in accordance
with the Refined Biomass Specifications. The final Refined Biomass Specifications that are accepted
and/or agreed to in accordance with the foregoing provisions shall replace the Specifications
currently attached as Schedule 2.16 and serve as the Specifications for Biomass for the remaining
term of this Restated Agreement, subject to any changes made pursuant to the process described in
Sections 4.3(b) and 4.4. If applicable, the form of certificate of analysis for Biomass shall be
updated to be consistent with the Refined Biomass Specifications and shall replace the certificate
of analysis form attached at Schedule 4.2(a).
(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Specifications may be subject to change from
time to time. Martek and DSM shall bring any required or requested changes to the Specifications
to the attention of the Committee in writing as soon as reasonably practicable. The Committee
shall have the authority to approve or reject any such changes, it being understood and agreed that
all changes that are reasonable in nature to make, taking into account all the facts and
circumstances, shall be approved by the Committee. Upon written approval by the Committee of any
such required or requested changes, the Committee shall then determine the terms, including the
Agreed Price and/or the Martek Cost, and delivery dates, applicable to ARA Products which will meet
the proposed Specification changes. In the event such changes to the Specifications are expected
to materially affect the Usages, the Committee shall agree in advance on any impact on the Usages
component of the Agreed Price. Each of Martek and DSM agrees to use its commercially reasonable
efforts to accommodate any requested changes at reasonable costs. Upon agreement by the Committee
on such terms Martek or DSM, as the case may be, shall implement the necessary adjustments in
accordance therewith, and, in the case of a change in Specifications, the parties shall follow the
procedure set forth in Section 4.4 for verifying that quantities of ARA Product produced satisfy
such changed Specifications.

4.4. Ongoing Biomass Quality Review; Verification of Production Changes.
(a) To enable the parties to more rapidly review the quality of Biomass, the parties will, in
accordance with Section 7.1(c), undertake a Jointly Funded ARA Research Project to develop a
laboratory scale Extraction and RBD process. The parties agree to regularly share manufacturing
data and other relevant information regarding the ARA Product so as to identify and communicate any
trends in the data that have the potential to cause the Biomass Specifications or the Finished Oil
Specifications not to be met. When such trends are identified, the parties agree to work together
in good faith to identify any changes in the manufacturing procedures that might be warranted, the
implementation of which shall comply with the provisions of Section 4.3 and 4.4 (Specification) and
Section 4.6 (Manufacturing), as applicable.
(b) In the event that the Committee approves a change to the Specifications pursuant to
Section 4.3(b), the party whose ARA Product specifications have changed (the “Manufacturing Party”)
shall deliver to the other party (the “Testing Party”) a quantity of ARA Product prepared to
satisfy the changed Specifications. Such delivery shall be made in accordance with a schedule and
in quantities and on terms determined by the Committee, which quantities shall be sufficient in all
cases to enable the Testing Party to verify that the quantities of ARA Product provided satisfy the
applicable changed Specifications. The Testing Party shall thereupon subject the delivered
quantities of ARA Product to the testing and analysis procedures agreed upon by the Committee to
verify that the individual quantities satisfy the applicable changed Specifications. If any
quantity of ARA Product fails to satisfy the applicable changed Specifications, the Testing Party
shall so notify the Manufacturing Party. Any dispute between the parties regarding the quality of
any ARA Product thus supplied shall be resolved by a binding determination of a third party testing
facility as agreed upon by the Committee. In case it is resolved that any quantity of ARA Product
thus supplied by the Manufacturing Party fails to satisfy the applicable changed Specifications,
the Manufacturing Party shall adjust its manufacturing process or take other appropriate action and
provide a replacement quantity of ARA Product for testing and analysis by the Testing Party. The
process shall continue until the Testing Party determines that all quantities of ARA Product
provided by the Manufacturing Party satisfy the applicable changed Specifications. The Testing
Party shall be responsible for its own testing costs and such costs shall not be included in DSM
Costs or Martek Costs, as applicable.
4.5. Inspection.
Upon reasonable notice during regular working hours, each of DSM and Martek and their
respective customers may inspect the manufacturing facilities of the other party and any
subcontractor(s) in order to inspect the manufacture of ARA Products, examine samples of ARA
Products and review quality control and manufacturing procedures for the purpose of verifying the
quality of ARA Products. In addition, Martek shall be permitted to have its technical personnel
periodically visit * to assist DSM in matters pertaining to ARA production at Martek’s discretion
and to provide support, to share technical experience, and/or to monitor ARA production activities.
The visits shall be with reasonable notice to DSM, with the exact hours of such visits to be mutually agreed upon. Martek shall assure that, during such visits, Martek
personnel shall adhere to the site’s rules and regulations and the instructions of DSM personnel.

4.6. Manufacturing Changes.
(a) DSM shall promptly notify the Committee of any major or minor change to any manufacturing
process to be performed by DSM for ARA Products and shall not apply such change to the manufacture
of ARA Products without following the process set forth in this Section 4.6. Martek shall promptly
notify the Committee of any major or minor change to any Extraction or RBD process and shall not
apply such change to the Extraction or RBD process without following the process set forth in this
Section 4.6. Listed on Schedule 4.6(a) are certain changes that the parties consider to be major
changes and minor changes for purposes of this Section 4.6 as of the Restatement Effective Date.
The Committee shall have the authority to modify such Schedule from time to time in its discretion
and otherwise shall be the arbiter of whether changes other than those described on Schedule 4.6(a)
constitute major changes or minor changes for purposes of this Section 4.6. Any deadlock within
the Committee will be resolved in accordance with Section 8.6 as a Disputed Fact. Minor changes,
either as listed on Schedule 4.6(a) or as confirmed by the Committee, shall require notice to the
Committee prior to their implementation, including the date of implementation, but shall not
require pre-approval. In the event of a proposed major change by DSM, following notification to
the Committee, the provisions of Section 4.6(b) shall apply. In the event of a proposed major
change by Martek, following notification to the Committee, the Committee shall meet as promptly as
possible to determine what, if any, action is necessary or advisable in connection therewith. All
major changes are subject to verification that the ARA Product produced thereby meets Qualification
Requirements as set forth in Section 4.6(b). Each of Martek and DSM agrees to maintain a written
record of all changes to the manufacturing process of ARA Products it makes, which record will be
readily accessible or provided to the other party for review upon the request of such other party,
and which will be reported at the next succeeding quarterly meeting of the Committee.
(b) To determine if a proposed major manufacturing change by DSM is acceptable, the parties
agree to verify that such changes will produce Finished Oil that satisfies the applicable
analytical, sensory and stability requirements of Finished Oil as set forth in Schedule 4.6(b) (the
“Qualification Requirements”) pursuant to the verification process set forth in (i) through (iii)
below. DSM shall be entitled to propose up to * major manufacturing changes in each calendar year,
unless otherwise agreed in writing by Martek. The verification process is as follows:
(i) With respect to each proposed major manufacturing change, DSM shall deliver
to Martek three (3) separate consecutive batches of ARA Product produced by the
proposed changed process and which meet Biomass Specifications (the “Test ARA
Product”). Martek shall perform the Extraction and RBD services on each such batch
and thereafter subject such batches of the Test ARA Product to its testing and
analytical procedures to verify that each such
batch satisfies the Qualification Requirements, which testing and analysis shall be
completed by Martek within six (6) months following the date of Martek’s receipt of
the third batch of the Test ARA Product from DSM. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
DSM shall have the right to abandon at any time any proposed changed process by
delivery of written notice thereof to Martek, in which event DSM shall be
responsible for its cost of preparing the relevant Test ARA Product. Martek shall be
responsible for its cost in testing the Test ARA Product but need not pay DSM for
any Test ARA Product unless it is saleable by Martek, in which case Martek shall pay
DSM for any saleable batch, provided that one or more consecutive batches so
produced by DSM meet the Qualification Requirements and DSM has not abandoned the
proposed process changes due to quality or other reasons.

31
(ii) Upon completion of Martek’s testing and analysis, Martek will notify DSM
in writing as to whether or not the Test ARA Product meets the Qualification
Requirements. If the Qualification Requirements are met, DSM may implement the
proposed manufacturing change and shall inform Martek when the implementation has
been completed. If the Qualification Requirements are not met, DSM shall not be
permitted to implement the proposed manufacturing change and DSM shall be
responsible for its cost of preparing the relevant Test ARA Product. Martek shall be
responsible for its cost in testing the Test ARA Product but need not pay DSM for
such Test ARA Product.
(iii) If Martek fails to deliver to DSM written notice of the results of the
applicable testing and analysis of the Test ARA Product within the 6 month testing
period provided in Section 4.6(b)(i) (other than due to a Force Majeure Event (as to
which Martek shall give DSM prompt written notice)), and the Test ARA Product
ultimately meets the Qualification Requirements, the parties shall calculate a
penalty for Martek’s delay as follows, which penalty shall be payable by Martek to
DSM within forty-five (45) days following the end of each calendar quarter, as
applicable, determined as follows:
The difference between the Usages in the “Approval Year” (i.e., the
calendar year when the notice regarding Qualification Requirements
results would have been provided by Martek if the 6 month period of
§4.6(b)(i) were met) and Usages in the year immediately prior to the
Approval Year (prorated for the portion of proposed major
manufacturing changes that have been timely approved) shall be
determined and multiplied by the Actual Rates of the Approval Year.
The result shall then be multiplied by the number of days Martek was
late in delivering its written notice to DSM and divided by 365. The
result shall be multiplied by the quantity of Units of ARA
forecasted and ordered in the Approval Year. For example:
(Usages in prior year less Usages in the Approval Year—prorated for the
portion of proposed major changes which have been approved)
X
Actual Rates for Approval Year
X
(Number of late days/365)
X
Units of ARA ordered in Approval Year
=
Penalty payable.

32
(c) If, at any time the ARA Product does not meet Finished Oil Specifications, Martek shall
notify DSM promptly in writing after it becomes aware of such failure and the parties shall work
together to determine if the failure to meet such Specifications resulted from the aggregate
manufacturing changes implemented by DSM. Following Martek’s notice, DSM may immediately adjust
its manufacturing process to revert to the manufacturing process utilized immediately prior to the
manufacturing change(s) that produced ARA Product that did not satisfy Qualification Requirements.
In addition, Martek may request that the ARA Product be subjected to the verification process
described in Section 4.6(b)(i) and (ii) above to determine if the ARA Product meets Qualification
Requirements. If any such ARA Product thus produced by DSM (i.e., ARA Product produced following
one or more manufacturing changes) fails to satisfy Qualification Requirements, DSM shall adjust
its manufacturing process to revert to the manufacturing process utilized immediately prior to the
manufacturing change(s) that produced ARA Product that did not satisfy Qualification Requirements.
In addition, the parties agree to work together as part of the process described above to determine
if the failure to satisfy the Qualification Requirements is due to reasons reasonably related to a
change in or problem with Extraction or RBD.
(d) In the event DSM purchases or intends to purchase an additional fixed asset for use, in
whole or in part, * that is required for improving or maintaining production capabilities or
reducing the costs of ARA production for Martek pursuant to this Restated Agreement (the portion
(but such portion only, up to 100%) of any such asset used for improving or maintaining, or
reducing the costs of, ARA production being referred to herein as an “Additional Capital Asset”),
it shall notify Martek of such Additional Capital Asset as follows: If the aggregate capitalized
purchase amount of the Additional Capital Asset(s) (including all costs directly related thereto
that are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistent with
those methods used by DSM for its other businesses, such as capitalized installation costs) is less
than USD$* in any calendar year, investment in such Additional Capital Asset(s) shall not require
Martek’s approval and such assets shall be deemed “Approved Capital Asset(s)” hereunder upon
purchase by DSM, but DSM shall notify Martek by providing an updated Schedule 9.4(d)-1 that
reflects the Approved Capital Asset(s), which shall be provided not less frequently than once per
calendar year. If the aggregate capitalized purchase amount of the Additional Capital Assets
equals or exceeds or is expected to equal or

33
exceed USD$* in any calendar year, DSM shall notify
Martek prior to such purchases and the parties shall discuss whether Martek is willing to share in the costs and benefits of such
purchases. If Martek agrees to co-invest in such new Additional Capital Assets then the parties
will agree upon the split of the investment costs, the corresponding allocation of depreciation to
ARA production for Martek, and how the financial benefits will be shared between the parties. In
that event, the parties shall agree upon and prepare an updated Schedule 9.4(d)-1 reflecting the
agreed portion of the Additional Capital Assets to be included thereon, which shall be referred to
as (and shall be deemed) “Approved Capital Assets.” If Martek does not agree to co-invest, then
DSM may invest in such Additional Capital Assets at its sole discretion, Martek shall not share in
the costs of any such Additional Capital Assets (i.e., they are not Approved Capital Assets), and
Martek shall not be entitled to share in any financial benefits arising from such Additional
Capital Assets through any additional cost reductions hereunder; provided, however, that Martek’s
failure to approve any such Additional Capital Assets shall not affect Martek’s ability to benefit
from the cost reductions previously committed through agreed upon Usages through 2014.
Accordingly, for any Additional Capital Assets for which Martek declines to co-invest as provided
above, Schedule 9.4(d)-1 shall not include any costs related to such Additional Capital Assets.
Within forty-five (45) days following the end of each calendar year, DSM will provide an annual
updated Schedule 9.4(d)-1 for the assets listed thereon and shall include a detailed list of all
Approved Capital Assets, their capitalized costs and the accumulated depreciation related thereto,
as well as detail relating to all such depreciation. All such assets shall be depreciated on a
straight-line basis over a ten (10) year period starting at the time such asset is placed into
service. Any disagreement between the parties relating to the determination of Additional Capital
Asset(s) or Approved Capital Asset(s) will be deemed to be a Disputed Fact and will be resolved
according to the provisions set forth in Section 8.6.
4.7. ARA Product Non-Conformity Procedure; Rework and Destruction.
(a) If either party determines or has reason to believe that any shipment of ARA Products does
not conform with the applicable Specifications, that party will give prompt written notice thereof
to the other party, which notice shall include a description of the nonconformity. Any dispute
between the parties regarding whether or not a shipment conforms with the applicable Specifications
shall be resolved by a binding determination of a third party testing facility as agreed upon by
the Committee.
(b) If any shipment of ARA Products does not conform to the applicable Specifications, the
party that ordered such shipped products shall consider in good faith, whether it will accept such
shipment as-is. If the ordering party agrees to accept such shipment as-is, such ordering party
shall notify the producing party of such acceptance and shall pay such producing party the
applicable invoice price (in accordance with the terms of this Restated Agreement) for the
shipment. When determining if lots of ARA Product received from DSM meet Biomass Specifications,
Martek will continue to accept such lots that may not objectively meet the Biomass Specifications
but that Martek reasonably believes will produce Finished Oil that meets Finished Oil
Specifications, consistent with its past practice.

34
(c) If any shipment of ARA Products does not conform to the applicable Specifications and is
not accepted by the ordering party, such ordering party shall return such shipment to the producing
party at such producing party’s request and expense (the “Returned Material”). If the ordering
party authorizes the producing party to rework such shipment, such producing party shall be
entitled to rework such shipment and such ordering party shall accept such reworked shipment
provided that it meets the applicable Specifications, and the costs and expenses related to the
rework of the Returned Material shall be borne by the party doing such rework. If such reworked
shipment continues to fail to meet the applicable Specifications, the ordering party shall consider
in good faith whether it will accept such shipment as-is and, if the ordering party is Martek, it
shall also act in accordance with the last sentence of Section 4.7 (b). If such ordering party
agrees to accept such shipment as-is, such ordering party shall notify the producing party of such
acceptance, in which case the costs and expenses related to the rework of the Returned Material
shall be borne by the party doing such rework and such costs and expense shall not be included in
DSM Costs or Martek Cost, as applicable. The parties agree to work together in good faith to
co-develop rework procedures that allow rejected ARA Products to be re-processed into ARA Products
that meet the Specifications.
(d) In the event that the ordering party does not authorize the producing party to rework the
Returned Material or if such producing party does not exercise its right to provide a reworked
shipment or is unable to provide a reworked shipment that meets the Specifications within a
reasonable time after such producing party’s receipt of the notice of nonconformity, such ordering
party shall have no obligation to pay the producing party for the nonconforming ARA Products or
cost of Martek Services associated with the production of such ARA Products (as applicable) and, if
payment has already been made, such ordering party shall be entitled to an immediate refund of the
price of the nonconforming shipment. In such event, the producing party shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to replace the nonconforming ARA Products with a substitute shipment that meets
the Specifications and such producing party shall be free to dispose of the Returned Material as it
determines, consistent with the terms of this Restated Agreement, including by selling it (to the
extent permitted) in its respective ARA Field of Use or destroying it.
4.8. Compliance.

5. MARKETING
5.1. Expansion of Fields of Use.
(a) DSM agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts, including marketing efforts, to
assist Martek in entering into commercial agreements, on terms acceptable to Martek in Martek’s
sole discretion, with Infant Formula Product customers in such territories as DSM and Martek may
from time to time agree upon in writing.
(b) In view of DSM’s global marketing network, Martek agrees that should it or any of its
Affiliates consider utilizing a third party marketing and/or sales force for sales of ARA Products
for Infant Formula Products, Martek shall, before entering into a binding agreement with any other
third party with respect thereto, give DSM written notice thereof and shall present and consider
with DSM in good faith whether or not DSM could be of assistance in such marketing and sales
efforts.
(c) DSM shall use its good faith efforts to identify to Martek any DSM customer that indicates
to DSM an interest in any ARA Product that is available from Martek in the Martek XXX Xxxxxx of Use
and Martek shall use its good faith efforts to identify to DSM any Martek customer that indicates
to Martek an interest in any ARA Product that is available from DSM in the DSM XXX Xxxxxx of Use.
(d) DSM and Martek agree to explore together new market opportunities for additional uses of
ARA including applications that may involve combining ARA with DHA and/or other nutrients, but
shall be under no obligation to continue such explorations for any specific length of time nor
shall the parties be under any obligation to enter into any arrangement regarding any such new
market opportunities beyond the arrangements set forth herein.
5.2. Customer Contracts.
From and after the Signing Date, each party and its Affiliates shall notify each of their
respective customers prior to any sale to such a customer of ARA Products that (a) any ARA Products
sold to such customer are subject to Intellectual Property licenses that prohibit such customer
from selling or using such ARA Products outside such notifying party’s XXX Xxxxxx of Use and (b)
such customer will not be able to purchase ARA Products from such party or any of its Affiliates if
any sale or use by such customer of such ARA Products is outside such notifying party’s XXX Xxxxxx
of Use. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to identify any customer that uses or sells ARA
Products purchased from a party or any of its Affiliates outside such notifying party’s XXX Xxxxxx
of Use (“Out of Scope Customer”). Where it is determined by agreement of the parties or pursuant
to the arbitration provisions of Section 10.5 that a party has sold, or that an Affiliate of a
party has sold, the ARA Products to an Out of Scope Customer, the party shall either promptly stop
such sale or use of ARA Products by such customer or make, or cause such Affiliate to make, no
further sales of ARA Products to such customer, it being understood and agreed that any failure to
stop such sale of ARA Products or to make, or cause such Affiliate to make, no such further sales
shall be deemed to be a breach of a material term of this Restated Agreement, unless applicable law
shall prohibit such party or Affiliate from stopping such sale or use of ARA Products by such
customer or from ceasing to make such further sales of ARA Products to such customer.

5.5. Notification and Challenge Procedure.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Restated Agreement,
prior to any sale by a party (the “Notifying Party”) or any of its Affiliates of ARA Products into
the other party’s XXX Xxxxxx of Use (the “Responding Party”), the Notifying Party shall provide
written notice thereof to the Responding Party three (3) years before commencing any such sale (“IP
Notice”), which notice shall include a list of such ARA Products (“Included ARA Products”);
provided, however, that the foregoing requirement as well as the remaining
provisions of this Section 5.5 shall not apply to any sale by DSM or its Affiliates of, and DSM and
its Affiliates shall at all times be entitled to sell, DSM Adult ARA Products for a DSM Adult ARA
Application on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.4(f) of this Restated
Agreement. During such three (3) year period, the Notifying Party shall not commence such sales.
The date that the Responding Party receives such IP Notice shall hereinafter be referred to as the
“IP Notice Receipt Date.” The Responding Party shall have the right to proceed to arbitration
pursuant to Section 10.5 of this Restated Agreement, for the purpose of determining whether the
Notifying Party will be legally entitled to sell the Included ARA Products into any of the XXX
Xxxxxx of Use of the Responding Party without infringing the Intellectual Property rights or
Know-how of the Responding Party as further set forth in Section 5.5(b) below, by giving written
notice to the Notifying Party of its intent to proceed to arbitration, and subsequently initiating

rights or Know-how on the Decision Date. The date on which the arbitrators deliver their decision
to the parties shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Decision Date.”
(i) If the arbitrators determine that the Notifying Party will not be legally
entitled to sell the Included ARA Products into any of the Responding Party’s XXX
Xxxxxx of Use, then any subsequent sale of any Included ARA Products by the

conclusively deemed to be an infringement of the Responding Party’s Intellectual
Property rights and/or Know-how for purposes of any arbitration or legal proceeding
between the Responding Party and the Notifying Party related to such sale unless and
until there is a material change in the Intellectual Property rights or Know-how of
either party in which event either party shall be entitled to commence the process
set forth in Section 5.5(a) again.
(ii) If the arbitrators determine that the Notifying Party will be legally
entitled to sell the Included ARA Products into any of the Responding Party’s XXX
Xxxxxx of Use, such sales shall commence no earlier than (A), if this Restated
Agreement has not been terminated prior to the Decision Date, the date three (3)
years following the Decision Date or (B), if this Restated Agreement has
been terminated prior to the Decision Date, the date three (3) years following the
date of such termination.
(iii) During the pendency of the arbitration pursuant to 5.5(a), the Notifying
Party shall respect the arbitration process and shall not itself sell, and shall
cause its Affiliates not to sell, any ARA Products into the Responding Party’s XXX
Xxxxxx of Use except in accordance with Section 5.5(b)(ii).
(c) The Responding Party’s right to terminate this Restated Agreement pursuant to 5.5(a) shall
be exercisable by providing the Notifying Party with a written notice of termination (“Termination
Notice”), such Termination Notice to be delivered (i) any time up to the date six (6) months after
the Decision Date if the Responding Party commences arbitration in accordance with 5.5(a) or (ii)
at any time within one (1) year of the IP Notice Receipt Date if the Responding Party does not
commence arbitration in accordance with 5.5(a). In either case, the Termination Notice must (i)
set forth an effective date for the termination that is no earlier than the date three (3) years
after the IP Notice Receipt Date and (ii) be delivered to the Notifying Party at least six (6)
months prior to such effective date.

6. FINANCIAL MATTERS
6.1. Amounts Payable by Martek.
(a) For each Unit of ARA that has been delivered by DSM in a given calendar year and accepted
by Martek pursuant to a Martek Purchase Order, Martek shall pay to DSM the applicable Budgeted
Price per Unit of ARA as determined below, subject to the limitations and adjustments further set
forth in this Article 6, including the reconciliations pursuant to Section 6.2 and adjustments
pursuant to Section 6.3. The Budgeted Price per Unit of ARA shall be equal to the sum of the DSM
Fixed Cost per Unit of ARA, the xxxx up per Unit of ARA (the “DSM Xxxx Up”) and the DSM Variable
Cost per Unit of ARA, in each case as in effect for the calendar year in which the Unit of ARA is
ordered for delivery pursuant to a Martek Purchase Order, as set forth below.
(b) Prior to December 1 of each calendar year (the “Current Year”), the Committee shall agree
upon the rates per Unit of ARA for electricity, natural gas, yeast extract and dextrose (the
“Budgeted Rates”) to be used in the calculation of the DSM Variable Costs per Unit of ARA for the
next calendar year (the “Succeeding Year”).
(c) For any period during the term of this Restated Agreement, if so requested by Martek, DSM
shall lock-in (if possible) a fixed rate for up to * (or a lesser portion if so requested by
Martek) of electricity, natural gas, yeast extract and dextrose to be used by DSM in connection
with producing ARA Products for Martek. In addition, DSM shall obtain written approval from
Martek, such approval to not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, prior to locking-in a fixed rate
or hedge for all or any portion of electricity, natural gas, yeast extract and dextrose in
connection with directly or indirectly producing ARA Products for Martek, even if Martek has not
requested such action, which written approval may be obtained via email correspondence between the
parties. The parties hereby agree that, once a rate is locked-in for a given period in accordance
with the foregoing procedure, it will not be subject to any further adjustment during the relevant
period unless mutually agreed in writing. DSM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
minimize all DSM Variable Costs per Unit of ARA, including without limitation the costs subject to
rate adjustments listed above.
(d) The parties agree that Martek shall pay for all transportation from * Ex-Works and arrange
(or have arranged by DSM) transport of Units of ARA in line with DSM’s production planning and
Martek’s Purchase Orders.
(e) During the period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2014, * of all purchases of
Units of ARA made by Martek will be invoiced by and paid to DSM in US Dollars and * in Euros using
an exchange rate of * US Dollars per Euro. For example, if the aggregate Units of ARA purchased
for a calendar year is * and the Agreed Price per Unit of ARA is *, * will be paid and * will be
paid. For purchases of Units of ARA made by Martek in 2009, if the amounts invoiced by and paid to
DSM are not * in US Dollars and * in Euros, the amounts will be reconciled to match such
proportions using an exchange rate of * US Dollars per
Euro. Euros are calculated by determining * of the amount of US Dollars that would have been paid
at * per Unit of ARA (* of *, or *) and then dividing * by the exchange rate of US$* per €1. All
references to dollars or $ in this Restated Agreement shall mean US Dollars.

and in writing by the parties or, if not so agreed, as determined in accordance with the provisions
of Section 8.6 as a “Disputed Fact”. If, however, such Additional Capital Assets are Approved
Capital Assets, Martek will benefit from the more favorable rate, if any, in accordance with the
arrangement for Approved Capital Assets in Section 4.6(b). It is understood and agreed that the
“market rate” for any utility shall be the price for such utility that is generally available
to Persons similarly situated as DSM who purchase such utility in the same general quantities

Section 6.2.
(d) The average RBD yield used to estimate Units of ARA as Finished Oil expected to be
obtained from each Unit of ARA as Crude Oil shall be *. Any difference between the expected and
actual Units of ARA as Finished Oil as reported by Martek will be converted into Units of ARA as
Crude Oil by dividing any such difference in Finished Oil quantities by the average RBD yield. DSM
will invoice Martek with respect to any increase in Crude Oil quantity or will credit Martek with
respect to any decrease in Crude Oil quantity as follows: * for DSM Variable Cost per Unit of ARA,
and * for DSM Xxxx Up per Unit of ARA. Any such corresponding payments shall be reconciled within
forty-five (45) days following the end of each calendar quarter.
(e) Thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar year 2009 through 2014, DSM shall
confirm the total Units of ARA produced in the immediately preceding calendar year including Units
of ARA delivered to Martek in such calendar year pursuant to a Martek Purchase Order and Units of
ARA produced by DSM in such calendar year that were intended for sale within the DSM Fields of Use

ratio of (X) total Units of ARA delivered in such calendar year to Martek pursuant to Martek
Purchase Order(s), excluding Carryover Units, to (Y) the total Units of ARA produced by DSM in such
calendar year, excluding Carryover Units (“Adjusted Annual Fixed Costs”). “Carryover Units” shall
mean Units of ARA produced by DSM in a calendar year in excess of Martek Purchase Orders, which
Units are produced for delivery to Martek in a subsequent calendar year. DSM shall pay to Martek
the amount, if any, by which the aggregate Agreed Annual Fixed Costs per Unit of ARA actually paid
by Martek to DSM for the relevant year exceed the Adjusted Annual Fixed Costs for the relevant
year, but not less than zero, within forty-five (45) days following the end of the relevant
calendar year.
(f) Martek shall pay to DSM the amount, if any, by which the Adjusted Annual Fixed Costs for
the relevant year exceeds the aggregate Agreed Annual Fixed Costs per Unit of ARA actually paid by
Martek for the relevant year, within forty-five (45) days following the end of the relevant
calendar year

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Restated Agreement, to the extent that
one or more DSM Shortfalls occur for causes other than a Force Majeure Event,
are less than or equal to * Units of ARA in the aggregate within a rolling * period, and do
not occur for more than *, then Martek shall pay to DSM the amount by which the Adjusted Annual
Fixed Costs for the relevant year exceeds the aggregate sum of the DSM Fixed Cost per Unit of ARA
paid to DSM for Units of ARA delivered in the relevant year, within forty-five (45) days following
the end of each calendar year(s) within which such DSM Shortfalls occur. If one or more DSM
Shortfalls occur for causes other than a Force Majeure Event and (A) exceed * Units of ARA in the
aggregate within a rolling * period, or (B) occur for more than four (4) consecutive calendar
quarters (each such * period in (A) or (B) shall be referred to as a “Relevant Period”) then (i)
for each Unit of ARA sold by Martek in excess of the base Martek Allocation (i.e., 40,000 Units of
ARA), Martek will pay to DSM (X) the Shortfall Fixed Cost per Unit of ARA for each such Unit of ARA
produced by Martek plus (Y) an amount equal to the Shortfall Agreed Price per Unit of ARA for the
relevant year minus the price per Unit of ARA paid by Martek to a third party ARA producer (but not
less than zero) for each such Unit of ARA produced by such third party ARA producer, plus (ii) for
each Unit of ARA purchased from DSM during the Relevant Period or an Adjustment Period, Martek will
pay to DSM the Shortfall Fixed Cost per Unit of ARA in lieu of the Agreed Annual Fixed Cost Per
Unit of ARA: provided, however, in no event shall the aggregate amount payable pursuant to (i) and
(ii) exceed the Adjusted Annual Fixed Costs for the relevant year(s). In the event that the
aggregate amount of DSM Fixed Costs Per Unit of ARA paid by Martek for Units of ARA purchased from
DSM during a Relevant Period or an Adjustment Period as set forth in (ii) above exceeds the
aggregate Shortfall Fixed Cost per Unit of ARA for such Units of ARA, the excess amount shall be
credited to Martek. “Shortfall Fixed Cost per Unit of ARA” shall mean the Adjusted Annual Fixed
Cost for the applicable calendar year(s) within the Relevant Period (and any Adjustment Period)
divided by the total Units of ARA requested in Martek Firm Orders for ARA Products for such
applicable calendar year(s) within the Relevant Period or Adjustment Period. “Shortfall Agreed
Price per Unit of ARA” shall mean the sum of the Shortfall Fixed Cost per Unit of ARA, the DSM Xxxx
Up per Unit of ARA and the DSM Variable Cost per Unit of ARA, in each case as in effect for the
calendar year in which the Unit of ARA is ordered for delivery from such third party ARA producer.
The adjustments to the Budgeted Price and Agreed Price per Unit of ARA applicable during a Relevant
Period as set forth above shall continue to apply for the remainder of any calendar year which
includes any portion of a Relevant Period, and such remaining calendar year period following the
end of a Relevant Period shall be referred to as an “Adjustment Period.” During any Adjustment
Period, Martek will use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase all of its ARA Product
needs from DSM. Examples of calculations applying the provisions of this Section 6.3(a) are set
forth on Schedule 6.3(a). In the event that, due to a DSM Shortfall for causes other than a Force
Majeure Event, Martek has paid to DSM the difference between the Adjusted Annual Fixed Cost for the
immediately preceding year and the aggregate sum of DSM Fixed Costs per Unit of ARA paid to DSM for
Units of ARA delivered in such year pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.3(a) and DSM
Shortfalls continue to occur in the subsequent calendar year and exceeds * Units of ARA in the
aggregate within a rolling * period or occurs for more than *, then DSM will immediately credit
Martek for such payment amount. In no event will Martek be required to pay the DSM Xxxx Up per
Unit of ARA in respect of any ARA Products sold by Martek as permitted as a result of any increase
in the Martek Allocation effected pursuant to Section 3.3(b). DSM agrees to pursue any insurance
proceeds available to it with respect to a DSM Shortfall, but DSM has no obligation to
maintain such insurance coverage. Any and all amounts payable by Martek to DSM under this Section
6.3(a) shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually received by DSM and any other amounts
recovered or to which DSM is entitled with respect to insurance claims or damages, for such DSM
Shortfall (collectively, “Recovered Amounts”) which remain following application of such Recovered
Amounts to DSM’s loss with respect to the DSM Xxxx Up per Unit of ARA due to such DSM Shortfall
that were not otherwise recovered. If DSM receives a payment from Martek pursuant to this Section
6.3(a) and subsequently receives Recovered Amounts which would have resulted in a reduction of
Martek’s obligation as provided above, if received earlier, DSM shall promptly pay to Martek an
amount equal to such excess Recovered Amounts received, but not to exceed the amount paid by Martek
pursuant to this Section 6.3(a).

(b) Beginning in 2010, the parties shall compare the increase in the PPI from January of the
immediately preceding calendar year to January of the Current Year. If the increase in the PPI
exceeds * for any such calendar year period then the DSM Xxxx Up per Unit of ARA and the Agreed
Annual Fixed Costs (reduced by an amount equal to DSM’s annual depreciation for such calendar year
as set forth on Schedules 9.4(d)-1 and 9.4(d)-2) for the Current Year and each year thereafter
shall be increased by the percentage amount of such increase in the PPI, effective as of January 1
of the year in which such review of the PPI has taken place, provided that *. *.
(c) The parties agree that the pricing provisions set forth above relating to DSM Fixed Costs
per Unit of ARA and DSM Variable Costs per Unit of ARA (but not the DSM Xxxx Up) shall be amended
as expressly set forth elsewhere in this Restated Agreement or due to one or more of the following
events outside of DSM’s control: (i) legal or regulatory changes are made that would not allow DSM
to continue production of ARA in the then-current manner without violating a local, state or
federal law, (ii) new patents are issued that prevent DSM from producing in the then-current
manner, or (iii) one or more of the Raw Materials is no longer available *. In any such event,
DSM shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep DSM Fixed Costs per Unit of ARA and DSM
Variable Costs per Unit of ARA as low as possible by using its commercially reasonable efforts to
increase production efficiencies, using low cost alternative Raw Materials or employing other
applicable alternatives due to such events. In any such event, the parties will agree on
adjustments to the DSM Fixed Cost per Unit of ARA and/or the DSM Variable Cost per Unit of ARA for
the remaining calendar years through 2014, as applicable, to reflect the actual incremental
increases in the costs to be incurred by DSM in excess of the amounts already included therefor due
to such event and only for so long as such increases in costs are actually incurred; provided,
however, that changes to the applicable DSM Variable Costs per Unit of ARA will only be made if
such events require change(s) that increase the Usages component (or the total cost/unit of the
“Other Materials” component) of the DSM Variable Costs per Unit of ARA, as a result of which the
DSM Variable Costs increase by more than *, as calculated at the then applicable Actual Rates.

(d) Martek and DSM agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to work together to
identify additional goods or products that could be manufactured or processed *
so as to improve plant utilization and thereby reduce the allocation of Agreed Annual Fixed
Costs to the production of ARA. In the event that the manufacturing and/or processing of
additional goods or products commences * as a result of cooperative efforts initiated by Martek,
DSM and Martek will jointly determine the extent to which any such additional plant utilization
actually reduces the amount of DSM Fixed Costs allocable to Martek, and the parties shall agree on
an adjustment to the DSM Fixed Costs payable hereunder through 2014 corresponding with the third
party goods/products utilization in respect of the available total annual capacity *. In the
event, however, that the manufacturing and/or processing of additional goods or products * results
from DSM’s efforts, Martek shall not be entitled to any reduction of the DSM Fixed Costs allocable
to Martek under this Restated Agreement through 2014. It is understood and agreed that, in
determining any fixed cost component of any pricing after 2014, all goods/products manufactured *
shall be considered, and not just those for which an adjustment is envisioned based on this Section
6.3(d).
6.4. Amounts Payable by DSM.
(a) For each Unit of ARA upon which Martek has performed the Martek Services and which has
been delivered EXW by Martek and accepted by DSM pursuant to a DSM Purchase Order, DSM shall pay to
Martek the Martek Costs per Unit of ARA calculated in accordance with Schedule 2.104 plus a *
markup, in each case as in effect for the calendar year in which the Unit of ARA is ordered for
delivery in such calendar year pursuant to a DSM Purchase Order. Unless otherwise agreed to by the
parties, the Martek Costs per Unit of ARA for a Succeeding Year will be agreed to by the Committee
by November 30 of each Current Year and shall be based on the DSM Budgeted Volume for the
Succeeding Year and the actual Martek Costs per Unit of ARA for the first three (3) quarters of the
Current Year, taking into account any changes to specifications that may impact such costs. The
parties agree that Martek shall not be charged for ARA Products delivered by DSM to Martek for
purposes of Martek’s performing the Martek Services for DSM.
(b) With respect to any ARA Product sold in the DSM ARA Field of Use by DSM or any DSM
Affiliate to a third party that is not an Affiliate of either DSM or Martek, DSM will pay Martek a
royalty of * of the Agreed Price per Unit of ARA applicable to the relevant calendar year for each
Unit of ARA sold as adjusted pursuant to Section 6.3 (the “DSM ARA Field of Use Royalty”);
provided, however, that (i) no such royalty shall be due and owing unless and until the
total quantity of sales during the calendar year in question exceeds $*, (ii) no royalty shall be
owed for sales of ARA Products to * and (iii) the DSM ARA Field of Use Royalty shall not exceed *
of DSM’s Gross Profit on such sales. In cases where DSM reduces the price of the products referred
to in this Section 6.4 as an incentive for a DSM customer to purchase other DSM products, DSM’s
Gross Profit, for purposes of determining any cap on the DSM ARA Field of Use Royalty, shall be
based on the non-reduced price. Any corresponding DSM ARA Field of Use Royalty payments shall be
made within forty-five (45) days following the end of the immediately preceding calendar year.

(c) With respect to any ARA Product sold in the DSM Adult ARA Applications by DSM or any DSM
Affiliate to a third party that is not an Affiliate of either DSM or Martek, DSM will pay Martek a
royalty equal to * of the Agreed Price per Unit of ARA in effect applicable to the relevant
calendar year for each Unit of ARA sold as adjusted pursuant to Section 6.3 (the “DSM Adult ARA
Applications Royalty”); provided, however, that no such royalty shall be due and owing
unless and until the total quantity of sales during the calendar year in question shall exceed $*.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for sales into the * market of a DSM Adult ARA Product that is a
DHA/ARA combination product, DSM agrees that it will either (i) utilize DHA supplied by Martek for
such DSM Adult ARA Product, subject to the payment of the * royalty specified above, or (ii) not
utilize DHA supplied by Martek for such DSM Adult ARA Product and instead pay Martek a royalty
equal to * of the Agreed Price per Unit of ARA in effect at the time for each Unit of ARA sold as
adjusted pursuant to Section 6.3. Any corresponding DSM Adult Applications Royalty payments shall
be made within forty-five (45) days following the end of the immediately preceding calendar year.
For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any royalty is payable by DSM to Martek on ARA Products
under this Section 6.4(c), no royalty shall be payable by DSM to Martek on the same ARA Products
pursuant to Section 6.4(b).
6.5. Invoices and Payment.
(a) DSM shall invoice Martek for each Martek Purchase Order no earlier than the date on which
such order is delivered EXW, and Martek shall remit all payments due to DSM within thirty (30) days
following the later of (i) the invoice date for such shipment and (ii) the receipt by Martek of a
signed certificate of analysis from DSM relating to such shipment, provided that the total
aggregate amount of unpaid invoices during any given month shall not at any time exceed 150% of the
average monthly total invoices sent by DSM to Martek during the three (3) months immediately
preceding such month. During the period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2014, DSM’s
invoices to Martek shall reflect * of the Agreed Price in US Dollars and * of the Agreed Price in
Euros as set forth in Section 6.1 (and Martek shall pay DSM’s invoices in such currencies) and
illustrated in Schedule 6.2-B. For invoices relating to 2009, the parties shall reconcile the
actual amounts paid in order to reflect * of the Agreed Price paid in US Dollars and * of the
Agreed Price paid in Euros as set forth in Section 6.1 and illustrated in Schedule 6.2-A. DSM
shall charge Martek interest (from the due date of the payment until the date such payment is
actually received by DSM) on payments that are more than fifteen (15) days late at an annualized
rate of interest equal to the Euribor rate in effect as of the first day of such quarter plus three
percent (3%).
(b) Martek shall invoice DSM for each DSM Purchase Order no earlier than the date on which
such order is delivered EXW, and DSM shall remit all payments due to Martek within thirty (30) days
following the later of (i) the invoice date for such shipment and (ii) the receipt by DSM of a
signed certificate of analysis from Martek relating to such shipment. All ARA Products upon which
Martek Services have been performed will be billed and paid for in US Dollars. Martek shall charge
DSM interest (from the due date of the payment until the date such payment is actually received by
Martek) on payments that are more than fifteen (15) days
late at an annualized rate of interest for each quarter equal to the Euribor rate in effect as
of the first day of such quarter plus three percent (3%).

(c) Amounts due from one party to the other pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(iv)(B) shall be paid
within forty-five (45) days following the end of the relevant calendar quarter.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid by a party to the
other under this Restated Agreement shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice
date in respect thereof. All amounts due and payable and not paid within the applicable grace
period shall bear interest for each quarter or portion thereof at an annualized rate of interest
equal to the Euribor rate in effect as of the first day of such quarter plus three percent (3%),
calculated from the due date of the payment until the date such payment is actually received by the
receiving party.
6.6. Interest Charges for Inventory.
Either party may request from time to time that the other party maintain an inventory of ARA
Products for the sole purpose of fulfilling Martek Purchase Orders or DSM Purchase Orders, as
applicable. If a party agrees to maintain such inventory, then such party shall charge the
requesting party interest on the Agreed Price or fees for Martek Services as set forth in Section
6.4, as applicable, that would be paid for such inventory for the period that such party maintains
such inventory at an annualized rate of interest equal to the average Euribor rate plus three
percent (3%) for such period.
6.7. Margin Protection.
(a) Martek and DSM shall share data on Gross Profits on sales of ARA Products and future
expectations of declines in Gross Profit per Unit of ARA. Notwithstanding anything in this Restated
Agreement to the contrary, if the average Gross Profit per Unit of ARA in US Dollars received by
Martek and its Affiliates on sales of a Unit of ARA falls below the DSM Xxxx Up per Unit of ARA for
a period of *, Martek shall give DSM prompt written notice thereof, whereupon the parties agree
that the DSM Xxxx Up per Unit of ARA shall be reduced as of the day of notification to an amount
that would be equal to the average Gross Profit in US Dollars received by Martek and its Affiliates
on sales of a Unit of ARA after the adjustment for such reduction in the DSM Xxxx Up per Unit of
ARA. If the average Gross Profit per Unit of ARA in US Dollars received by Martek and its
Affiliates on sales of a Unit of ARA recovers to at least the level of the DSM Xxxx Up per Unit of
ARA in any subsequent calendar quarter, Martek shall give DSM prompt written notice thereof,
whereupon the parties agree that the full DSM Xxxx Up per Unit of ARA shall be restored as of the
date of such notification.
(b) For purposes of calculating Martek’s Gross Profit in this Section 6.7, (i) Martek agrees
that it will not include in the calculation any ARA Products sold by Martek to its customers at a
reduced price as an incentive for the Martek customers to purchase other Martek products and (ii)
to the extent that the ARA Products are Blended Products, then the Gross Profit
per Unit of ARA in such ARA Products will be determined by multiplying (A) the Gross Profit in
US Dollars received by Martek and its Affiliates on sales of the Blended Product by (B) a fraction
where the numerator is the number of Units of ARA in the Blended Product and the denominator is the
total number of units of fatty acids in the Blended Product, but in no event shall such amount be
less than the Gross Profit on ARA Products where ARA Products are sold as single product.

6.8. Stop Loss.
(a) If at any time from and after December 31, 2011, Martek shall have received from its
customers during the immediately preceding * period total orders of ARA Products of less than *
Units of ARA, then Martek shall have the right to deliver written notice thereof to DSM requesting
a meeting pursuant to this Section 6.8(a), in which event the parties shall promptly meet to
discuss in good faith changes that might be implemented so as to increase sales of or demand for
ARA Products and otherwise to increase the economic benefits to the parties from the Alliance. If
at any time from and after December 31, 2011, DSM shall have received from Martek during the
immediately preceding four (4) calendar quarter period an aggregate amount of DSM Xxxx-Up of less
than $* (which amount shall be subject to adjustment due to a DSM Shortfall, if any, as set forth
below), then DSM shall have the right to deliver written notice thereof to Martek requesting a
meeting pursuant to this Section 6.8(a), in which event the parties shall promptly meet to discuss
in good faith changes that might be implemented so as to increase the profitability of the Alliance
and otherwise to increase the economic benefits to the parties from the Alliance. The changes
referred to in the two immediately preceding sentences may include, without limitation, changes to
the location of production facilities, changes to the economic relationship between the parties,
marketing incentives or campaigns, the manufacturing of other products * and other cost-saving
and/or demand-inspiring measures, as applicable. In the event of a DSM Shortfall, the threshold
amount of $* set forth above shall be reduced, until such time as the Martek Allocation reverts
back to 40,000 Units of ARA, by an amount equal to the amount of the DSM Shortfall multiplied by
the amount of the applicable DSM Xxxx Up per Unit of ARA.
(b) If the parties meet as provided in Section 6.8(a) above, and at any time on or before the
* of such meeting Martek shall have received from its customers during the immediately preceding *
period total orders of ARA Products of less than * Units of ARA, then Martek shall have the right,
exercisable by delivery of written notice to DSM, to accelerate the expiration date of this
Restated Agreement to a date no earlier than the last day of the first full calendar quarter
following the date on which such written notice was delivered. If the parties meet as provided in
Section 6.8(a) above, and at any time on or before the * of such meeting DSM shall have received
from Martek during the immediately preceding * period an aggregate amount of DSM Xxxx-Up of less
than $* (which amount shall be subject to adjustment due to a DSM Shortfall, if any, as set forth
below), then DMS shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to Martek, to
accelerate the expiration date of this Restated Agreement to a date no earlier than the last day of
the first full calendar quarter following the date on which such written notice was delivered. In
the event of any such acceleration of the expiration date of this
Restated Agreement, all references in this Restated Agreement to December 31, 2023 shall be
deemed to be the accelerated date on which this Restated Agreement shall expire and all references
in this Restated Agreement to January 1, 2024 shall be deemed to be the day after such accelerated
date. For the avoidance of doubt, and unless otherwise provided herein, the consequences of any
such accelerated expiration shall be the same as if the Restated Agreement had expired on December,
31, 2023, including without limitation those set forth in Section 9.3 hereof. In the event of a DSM
Shortfall, the threshold amount of $* set forth above shall be reduced, until such time as the
Martek Allocation reverts back to 40,000 Units of ARA, by an amount equal to the amount of the DSM
Shortfall multiplied by the amount of the applicable DSM Xxxx Up per Unit of ARA.

6.9. Review of Alliance Structure and Economics; Renegotiation of Pricing Arrangements.
Commencing no later than June 1, 2013, the parties shall review in good faith, among other
issues, the market position of ARA, competition, current and projected future ARA production costs,
cost reduction strategies, and the structure and relative economic costs and benefits to the
parties of the Alliance hereunder. The parties will review the pricing provisions of this Restated
Agreement, including the DSM Xxxx Up per Unit of ARA and the allocation of payments between Euros
and US Dollars, and will use good faith efforts to renegotiate such pricing and currency allocation
prior to October 31, 2014, effective as of January 1, 2015. Either party shall be entitled to have
the relevant financial information of the other party confirmed by an independent public accounting
firm reasonably acceptable to the other party. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith ways
to address any issues identified during this review to insure the future success and profitability
of the Alliance for the remainder of the term of this Restated Agreement on terms similar to those
currently in place. If renegotiation is unsuccessful as of October 31, 2014, pricing will be
changed so that the parties share equally in the Gross Profit per each Unit of ARA sold (from the
manufacture and delivery of ARA Products to its sale to a direct customer of Martek or DSM)
effective January 1, 2015 and the allocation of payments between Euros and US Dollars shall remain
as set forth in Section 6.1.
6.10. Transparency.
The parties agree during the term of this Restated Agreement to provide each other with data
and information including copies of invoices and other relevant paperwork, to the extent reasonably
necessary to verify the parties’ respective performances under this Restated Agreement and to
substantiate the payments owed to a party by the other hereunder, including the calculation of DSM
Costs, Martek Costs, Additional Capital Assets and Approved Capital Assets. The parties shall also
share data and information relating to each party’s performance in the manufacture of ARA Products
including actual Usages, information relating to productivity (including fermentation productivity)
and efficiency of production, yields, and other such data. The types of information to be
exchanged are intended to include the types that would be exchanged as part of an audit pursuant to
Section 6.11(a), and it is understood that the types of information may vary from time to time to
reflect changes in the information requirements of the
parties. All such data and information shall be shared by the parties on a confidential
basis, annually, or quarterly if it relates to or is required for the verification of amounts owed
quarterly, reviews at quarterly meetings or a review of a party’s manufacturing performance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall have the right not to
provide to the other party (the “Requesting Party”) any data or information requested by the
Requesting Party if the Disclosing Party determines in good faith that compliance with the request
could give rise to a colorable claim that one or both of the parties have violated any applicable
law and (ii) each party shall have the right to require that any data or information requested
pursuant to this Section 6.10 (including any data or information not disclosed by a Disclosing
Party to the Requesting Party on the basis of subsection (i) hereof) be disclosed to an independent
auditor (and not to the Requesting Party) for the sole purpose of verifying the parties’
performance of and compliance with the terms of this Restated Agreement, including verifying a
party’s calculation of payments owed to it by the other; such auditor shall be selected by the
Requesting Party, subject to the approval of the Disclosing Party, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, and shall be prohibited from disclosing such data and information to the
Requesting Party (including such party’s employees) and the expenses of such independent auditor
shall be borne equally by the Disclosing Party and the Requesting Party.

6.11. Books and Records.
(a) Each party shall maintain complete and accurate records of its yields, production costs,
income, sales of ARA products, capital costs, and other information reasonably necessary to verify
that such party is complying with its obligations under this Restated Agreement and calculating
relevant amounts in accordance with the terms of this Restated Agreement. All accounting relevant
to this Restated Agreement shall be performed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistent with those methods used by the relevant party for its other businesses. The
parties each shall have the right, upon reasonable prior written notice, through an independent
public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the other party, to examine the other party’s
books, records and accounts relating to the performance of its obligations under, or the prices to
be charged pursuant to, this Restated Agreement. Such audit right shall be exercisable by a party,
in regard to the books records and accounts related to a calendar year, by delivery of written
notice to the other party (the “Audited Party”) within six (6) months after the end of such
calendar year of its desire to have such an audit conducted; provided, however, that an Audited
Party shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the other party, to
postpone the commencement of the audit for a maximum of 90 days to allow the Audited Party to
complete its own internal accounting review with respect to such calendar year.
(b) A party’s books, records and accounts being examined pursuant to Section 6.11(a) above
shall be deemed to be a complete and final statement of costs, fees and prices for the year subject
to audit upon delivery of such books, records and accounts to the appointed independent public
accounting firm and may not be amended, revised or supplemented at any time following such date for
purposes of such audit except for changes, either favorable or unfavorable to either party, as a
result of findings or inquiries by the appointed independent
public accounting firm. All information regarding a party’s business received in any such
examination shall be held in confidence. The expenses of such audits shall be borne by the party
requesting such audit. Any overpayment or underpayment by one party of the amounts that the other
party was entitled to receive under this Restated Agreement shall be promptly refunded to or paid
by such other party, as the case may be, with annualized interest for such period at the average
Euribor rate plus 3% calculated from the date(s) of the overpayment or underpayment until the date
of refund or payment in accordance herewith. If any such audit establishes an aggregate overbilling
or underpayment by one party during the period covered by the audit by 5% or more of the amounts to
which the other party was entitled, then such overbilled or underpaid party shall be reimbursed by
the other party for the expenses of the audit. The parties each shall be prohibited from accessing
the other party’s books, records and accounts and any privileged documents examined by the
accountant, and may receive only an accounting report from the auditor.

6.12. Break Up Fee.
(a) In the event that, after the Restatement Effective Date, DSM desires to expand its ARA
production capacity, it shall have the right to provide Martek with a detailed proposal of such
expansion plans for Martek’s review. If Martek provides its written approval to DSM for such
proposed expansion plans as provided in Section 3.3 (“Approved Expansion Plans”), then fifty
percent (50%) of the actual capital costs of the Approved Expansion Plans (provided they are not
materially changed from those approved by Martek) shall be added to a book entry account maintained
by DSM for such purposes (the “Break Up Fee Account”). DSM shall maintain a separate subaccount of
the Break Up Fee Account for each Approved Expansion Plan. As of the Restatement Effective Date,
the parties agree that the balance of the Break Up Fee Account is zero.
(b) The balance in a subaccount of the Break Up Fee Account for an expansion shall be reduced
(but not below zero) by * ($*) for each one US Dollar ($*) of DSM Xxxx Up, or equivalent thereof,
received by DSM from Martek in respect of ARA Products produced from the expansion capacity that
generated such subaccount.
(c) Upon any expiration of this Restated Agreement or a termination of this Restated Agreement
by DSM for cause pursuant to Section 9.2 or 5.5 when Martek is the Notifying Party, Martek shall
pay to DSM the balance in each subaccount of the Break Up Fee Account within forty-five (45) days
of any such expiration or termination.
6.13. Considerations for Payments and Volume Commitments.
(a) In exchange for the parties’ agreement to eliminate the Currency Savings Account and all
balances accrued therein as of the Restatement Effective Date, and in consideration of the parties’
agreement to no longer apply the Currency Savings Account methodology from and after the
Restatement Effective Date, Martek has agreed to the ARA
purchase commitments in each of calendar years 2009, 2010 and 2011 as set forth in Sections
6.1(a), 6.1(b) and 6.1(c).

(b) In consideration of DSM’s agreement to guarantee Usages, * ARA production * as provided in
Section 3.2(a) of this Restated Agreement and to lock-in DSM Fixed Costs per Unit of ARA and the
DSM Xxxx Up per Unit of ARA, each as set forth herein, Martek shall make a one-time payment to DSM
(payable in two installments) equal to €7.9 million as follows:
(c) Martek shall pay to DSM 50% of this amount, or €3.95 million, on or before the fifteenth
day following the Restatement Effective Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds; and
(d) Martek shall pay to DSM the remaining €3.95 million on or before the thirtieth day
following the date on which DSM delivers to Martek a written request therefor, which payment date
the parties currently anticipate will be on or before August 31, 2009, and which in no event shall
be due before July 1, 2009 or after October 31, 2009.
(e) The parties agree that the above payments represent the final amount of any and all costs

Intellectual Property rights in any inventions, improvements, Know-how or technologies invented or
created in the course of performance of any Solely Funded ARA Research Project shall be owned, as
between the parties hereto, by the party that funded such project, and patent rights filed and/or
obtained thereon and owned by Martek shall be deemed Martek R&D Patents and patent rights filed
and/or obtained thereon and owned by DSM shall be deemed DSM R&D Patents.
7.2. Intellectual Property Rights.
(a) Validity of Certain Patents of the Parties. From the Effective Date of the Alliance to
the stated expiration date of this Restated Agreement (regardless of any earlier termination),
(i) DSM acknowledges and agrees that (A) Martek’s Patents (including those of
its Affiliates) listed on Schedule 2.64 (Excluded Subject Matter) and Schedule
2.108 (Martek Patents), (B) any patents that issue from the applications listed on
Schedule 2.64 or Schedule 2.108 and (C) all related family members of the patents
listed on Schedule 2.64 and Schedule 2.108 issued under the laws of any country,
shall be presumed valid and enforceable and, to the maximum extent permitted under
applicable law, DSM agrees not to, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to,
challenge the validity or enforceability of such patents, through any legal action
or proceeding of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any action in
federal district court seeking to declare the invalidity of such patents, and
(ii) Martek acknowledges and agrees that (A) DSM’s Patents (including those of
its Affiliates) listed on Schedule 2.54 (B) any patents which issue from the
applications listed on Schedule 2.54, and (C) all related family members of the
patents listed on Schedule 2.54, issued under the laws of any country, shall be
presumed valid and enforceable and, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable
law, Martek agrees not to, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, challenge
the validity or enforceability of such patents, through any legal action or
proceeding of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any action in
federal district court seeking to declare the invalidity of such patents.
It is understood and agreed that Schedule 2.64 (Excluded Subject Matter), Schedule 2.54 (DSM
Patents) and Schedule 2.108 (Martek Patents) may be amended and updated from time to time after the
Restatement Effective Date with the written consent of the parties to include patent rights filed,
acquired or licensed by each of the parties or to delete patents that the parties agree
are no longer valid. Upon inclusion on any such Schedule, such patent rights shall be removed from
any other definition of a set of patent rights for purposes of this Restated Agreement. It is
further understood and agreed that a Notifying Party that challenges the scope of a Responding
Party’s patents, but not their validity or enforceability, pursuant to Section 5.5 will not be
deemed to be in violation of this Section.

(b) R&D Intellectual Property Rights. Subject to the licenses granted in Sections 7.4(a),
7.4(b), 7.4(d) and 7.4(f) hereto, Intellectual Property rights in any inventions, improvements, or
technologies conceived or reduced to practice during the term of this Restated Agreement pursuant
to a Jointly Funded ARA Research Project (“New R&D Inventions”) shall be as follows:
(i) Any patent and/or patent application filed by a Patent Proponent Party (as
defined below) in accordance with Section 7.3(a)(ii) shall be owned solely by the
Patent Proponent Party (“Martek R&D Patents” or “DSM R&D Patents,” as the case may
be).
(ii) Subject to clause (i) above, the parties shall jointly own any patents or
patent applications that may be filed or issue on any New R&D Inventions (each party
having an equal and undivided one half ownership interest without a right of
accounting, except as expressly provided herein) (“Joint Patents”) and all other
Intellectual Property rights in New R&D Inventions regardless of which parties’
employees invented or created such New R&D Invention (“Joint Know-how”). Each party
shall, and shall cause its employees, consultants, and contractors to, execute any
and all documents required in order that each party shall own and, if applicable,
shall be registered as the owner of the New R&D Invention in accordance with Section
7.2(b). All rights in and to the New R&D Inventions shall be subject to this
Restated Agreement.
(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, during the term of this Restated Agreement
(A) each of Martek and its Affiliates shall have (1) the exclusive right to use all
Joint Proprietary Technology within the Martek XXX Xxxxxx of Use, (2) the
non-exclusive right to use all Joint Proprietary Technology outside of the DSM XXX
Xxxxxx of Use subject to Section 7.2(b)(iv)(A), and (3) no right to use, make or
have made, offer to sell, sell, import, or otherwise exploit, or permit others to
use, make or have made, offer to sell, sell, or otherwise exploit the Joint
Proprietary Technology in DSM’s XXX Xxxxxx of Use and (B) each of DSM and its
Affiliates shall have (1) the exclusive right to use all Joint Proprietary
Technology within the DSM XXX Xxxxxx of Use, (2) the non-exclusive right to use all
Joint Proprietary Technology outside of the Martek XXX Xxxxxx of Use subject to
Section 7.2(b)(iv)(A), and (3) no right to use, make or have made, offer to sell,

set forth in Section 9.3, nothing contained in this Restated Agreement shall extend
DSM’s rights to the Excluded Subject Matter outside the DSM XXX Xxxxxx of Use.
Moreover, unless expressly agreed upon by the parties, subject to Section 10.4
hereto, nothing herein shall be deemed to grant either party any rights in any
trademarks or previously existing copyrighted work of the other party,
notwithstanding the use of such materials in any Jointly Funded ARA Research
Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing neither party shall sublicense Production
Technology without the other party’s prior written consent except pursuant to
Sections 3.3(a), 3.4(c), and 5.5(d).

(iv) If either party is in serious negotiations with a non-Affiliate third
party regarding the sublicensing of its rights to the Joint Proprietary Technology
in an area where it has non-exclusive rights to such Joint Proprietary Technology in
accordance with Section 7.2(b)(iii)(A)(2) or 7.2(b)(iii)(B)(2) (“Sublicensable
Technology”), such party shall provide written notice to the other party of such
negotiations. If such party decides to sublicense its rights pursuant to such
negotiations (such party to hereinafter be referred to as the “Sublicensing
Requester”), then the Sublicensing Requester must provide the other party prior
written notice summarizing the proposed sublicensing arrangement for the
Sublicensable Technology (“Sublicensing Notice”).
(A) The non-requesting party shall have the right to prevent such
sublicense by (1) within thirty (30) days of receiving the Sublicensing
Notice, notifying the Sublicensing Requester of its disapproval of the
sublicense and its desire to have the exclusive right to sublicense the
Joint Proprietary Technology outside the DSM XXX Xxxxxx of Use and the
Martek XXX Xxxxxx of Use and (2) committing within thirty (30) days of the
determination of the fair-market value (“FMV”) of such exclusive right to
pay to the Sublicensing Requester the FMV, which is to be determined
pursuant to agreement of the parties or pursuant to Section 8.6 if agreement
is not reached within ten (10) days.
(B) If the non-requesting party does not notify the Sublicensing
Requester of its disapproval within thirty (30) days from receiving the
Sublicensing Notice or does not pay the FMV of the sublicense to the
Sublicensing Requester within thirty (30) days from determination of the FMV
amount, the Sublicensing Requester shall have the right to proceed with such
sublicense on substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in
the Sublicensing Notice and the Sublicensing Requester shall pay the other
party, as applicable, (1) * of the Net Revenues the Sublicensing Requester
receives from the sublicensee which are not the result of the Sublicensing
Requester selling a product to the sublicensee, and (2) * of the Net
Sales the Sublicensing Requester receives from the sublicensee which are the
result of the Sublicensing Requester selling a product to the sublicensee, provided, however, that such
total amount shall not exceed * of the Sublicensing Requester’s Gross Profit
on such sales.

(C) If the non-requesting party does not exercise its right to obtain
exclusive rights to the Sublicensable Technology as set forth in Section
7.2(b)(iv)(A) and the Sublicensing Requester proceeds with the sublicensing
arrangement for the Sublicensable Technology as set forth in the
Sublicensing Notice, the Sublicensing Requester does not need to follow the
procedures set forth in Section 7.2(b)(iv) again if it desires to enter into
another sublicensing arrangement for the same Sublicensable Technology;
however, if the Sublicensing Requester does not proceed with the
sublicensing arrangement as set forth in the Sublicensing Notice and then
subsequently desires to sublicense the same Sublicensable Technology to
another potential sublicensee, the Sublicensing Requester must follow the
procedures set forth in Section 7.2(b)(iv) again, including issuing a new
Sublicensing Notice.
7.3. Prosecution, Maintenance and Enforcement.
(a) Prosecution and Maintenance of New R&D Patents.
(i) To the extent that a party desires to file an application for a patent
claiming or describing a New R&D Invention, the party seeking to file the
application shall inform the other party of its desire to file for patent protection
and submit a request to the R&D Committee for permission to file the application for
such invention. If a majority of the R&D Committee members are unable to agree on
whether to pursue patent protection at all or in any particular jurisdiction, the
matter shall be referred to the Committee, which shall make a final determination
whether to file the application. In the event that the R&D Committee or the
Committee, as the case may be, decides to pursue patent protection for a particular
invention in one or more jurisdictions, the R&D Committee or the Committee, as the
case may be, shall, designate the party with the most knowledge of the New R&D
Invention (as determined by the unanimous agreement of the R&D Committee or the
Committee, as the case may be) as the lead party (“Lead Party”) who will take
primary responsibility for the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of
any patents related to such New R&D Invention (“Patent Protection Process”). The
non-lead party shall provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance in connection
with the Patent Protection Process. The Lead Party will ensure that the non-lead
party is kept informed of the status of and has an opportunity to review and comment
on all aspects of the Patent Protection Process, including, but not limited to,
copying the non-lead party on all patent related communications such as patent

applications, office actions, and responses and allowing the non-lead party not less than ten (10)
business days to review and comment upon the specifications, claims, and
responses to office actions prior to their submission to the appropriate patent
office. The Lead Party shall use all reasonable efforts to incorporate and address
the non-lead party’s comments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, final decisions
regarding the specification claims and responses to office actions shall be made by
the Lead Party. The applications shall be prepared, filed and prosecuted, and
maintenance fees paid through an attorney or agent chosen by the Lead Party. Except
as set forth in Section 7.3(a)(ii) below, each party shall pay fifty percent (50%)
of all expenses incurred hereafter pursuant to the Patent Protection Process
(“Patent Expenses”) according to the following procedure. On a quarterly basis the
Lead Party will provide the non-lead party with an invoice for Patent Expenses
reporting the amount of Patent Expenses incurred, the purpose of incurring such
Patent Expenses, and the amount of Patent Expenses owed by the non-lead party. The
non-lead party will reimburse on a quarterly basis the Lead Party within thirty (30)
days of receiving an invoice for Patent Expenses from the Lead Party. If the Lead
Party anticipates extraordinary expenses arising from the Patent Protection Process,
then the Lead Party will provide the non-lead party with full details and together
the parties will determine a mutually acceptable course of action prior to incurring
such expenditures. Both parties recognize that one party may incur certain legal
expenses regarding the New R&D Invention and/or patent rights relating to matters
pertaining solely to such party, and, in such circumstances, such expenses will not
be considered Patent Expenses, unless otherwise decided by the Committee. The Lead
Party will maintain adequate records showing all Patent Expenses incurred, which
will be made available to the non-lead party upon reasonable notice.
(ii) Notwithstanding Section 8.5 or Section 8.6, in the event that the
Committee is deadlocked on whether to file a patent application for a particular New
R&D Invention in one or more jurisdictions (i.e., where half of the Committee
members are in favor of pursuing patent protection and half the Committee members
are opposed), the party whose Committee members voted in favor of pursuing patent
protection (the “Patent Proponent Party”) shall have the right to independently file
a patent application covering such invention at its own costs and expense, and the
other party shall provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance in connection
therewith, including without limitation, ensuring that any of its employees who may
be inventors under such patent application shall be joined as inventors thereto, and
shall cause such employees to assign in writing their entire interest in such
invention to the Patent Proponent Party. In such event, the patent shall be treated
as an Improvement made by the Patent Proponent Party and shall be subject to the
license provisions of Section 7.4(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any decisions
by the Patent Proponent Party regarding whether to pursue patent protection or the
scope of the applicable patent claims being sought shall take into consideration the
legal and commercial interests of the other party, including without limitation the
other party’s interest in avoiding disclosure of
confidential information or technology in connection with its activities in
their respective XXX Xxxxxx of Use.

(iii) If, in one or more countries, (A) the Lead Party shall at any time decide
not to prepare, file, prosecute or maintain any such patent application for any such
New R&D Invention or (B) either party does not pay its share of the expenses related
to the foregoing matters (in either situation, the “Declining Party”), the other
party may, at its own expense, prepare, file, prosecute or maintain any such patent
application in such country or countries. In such event, the Declining Party hereby
assigns its interest in and to the New R&D Invention (but only with respect to such
country or countries as applicable) underlying such patent application, and such
application in such country or countries to the other party and such party hereby
grants the Declining Party a license under such patents in accordance with the
parties’ respective rights in Sections 7.4(a), 7.4(b), 7.4(d) and 7.4(f).
(b) Independent Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each party
shall have the right at any time to enforce independently, at its own cost and expense and in the
manner as it chooses in its sole discretion, any rights to Intellectual Property * (the party
pursuing or seeking to pursue such enforcement action is hereinafter referred to as the “Enforcing
Party”). The party that is not the Enforcing Party shall provide all reasonable cooperation in
connection with any actions permitted to be taken by the Enforcing Party pursuant to this Section
7.3(b) in connection with pursuing a suspected infringer in the Enforcing Party’s XXX Xxxxxx of
Use, including without limitation allowing itself to be joined as a party to any lawsuit brought by
the Enforcing Party against such infringer, provided that the Enforcing Party compensates the other
party for any costs reasonably associated therewith. Any such action shall be subject to the other
terms and conditions set forth herein.
(c) Enforcement. Each party agrees to promptly notify the other party * of any suspected
infringement of any patent or other rights to Intellectual Property (other than trademark rights)
of either party that relates to ARA, including without limitation any patent covering any New R&D
Inventions. Promptly upon notification of a suspected infringement, * evaluate whether to take any
action against such suspected third party infringer. In evaluating whether to pursue a particular
suspected third party infringer, * act in good faith and shall consider *, including without
limitation, the cost of pursuing the claim, the likelihood that either party will become the
subject of a counterclaim, the relative likelihood of success of the claims to be asserted and the
possible effects on the patent rights at issue. In the event that * decides that a particular
action should be taken against the suspected third party infringer, the parties shall cooperate to
promptly undertake such action. Such action may include * or other action aimed at causing
cessation of the infringement by the third party. Unless * the party in whose ARA Field of Use the
infringing activity is occurring shall be responsible for all costs associated with any such
action. In the event that the suspected infringement is occurring in both party’s XXX Xxxxxx of
Use, the parties shall share the costs of such action in proportion to the ARA related profits
derived by each party at or around the time of the suspected infringement. In the
event that one of the parties wishes to settle the dispute with the suspected infringer that
would not involve the complete and unqualified cessation of the suspected infringing activity, *,
neither party shall, without the prior consent of the other party, grant any license to, or enter
into a prospective settlement agreement with, the suspected infringing party.

(d) Proceeds of Infringement Actions. The Enforcing Party shall be entitled to all proceeds
from any independent action taken by it in accordance with Section 7.3(b) hereto. In the event an
award of monetary damages is granted in an action with respect to * in connection with actions
taken in accordance with * hereto, the parties shall apply the award as follows: Initially the
award shall be used to reimburse the parties for their actual out-of-pocket expenses (including
attorneys fees) that have been incurred by or in connection with such action, provided that if the
award is insufficient to reimburse both parties for all of their out of pocket expenses, the award
shall be distributed in proportion to each party’s relative expenses in connection with the
action. Once the parties have been reimbursed for their respective out of pocket expenses, the
remaining portions of the award shall be divided between the parties, within thirty (30) days after
collection of the award, in proportion to the lost profits of each party resulting from the
infringement in accordance with whichever of the following formulas is appropriate under the
circumstances:
(i) Proceeds from Infringement Actions *.
(1) *
(ii) Proceeds from Infringement Actions *.
(1) *
It is the intent of the parties that the foregoing formulas will estimate the lost profits
suffered by each party by the infringing activity.
(e) Defensive Patent Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event
that either party to this Restated Agreement becomes a defendant in any lawsuit in any
jurisdiction, the defendant party shall have the right, in its entire and sole discretion, to bring
a counter-claim or counter-suit based on the infringement of any Joint Patent against any party to
the extent that such counter-claim or counter-suit is reasonably likely to cause or bring about a
settlement of the dispute to which the party to this Restated Agreement has become a defendant.
The defendant party shall notify the other party in writing of its intention to exercise its right
under the immediately preceding sentence and such other party shall provide all necessary
cooperation and assistance, at the requesting party’s cost and expense, associated with the
defendant party’s counterclaim or counter-suit.
(f) Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents arising from Solely Funded ARA Research Projects.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Restated Agreement, a party shall have
the sole right to file, prosecute and maintain patent rights claiming
inventions invented or created in the course of the performance of such party’s Solely Funded
ARA Research Projects.

(d) Improvements. A “DSM Improvement” shall mean (i) any improvement or enhancement to the DSM
Proprietary Technology, the Martek Proprietary Technology, the Excluded Subject Matter, the DSM R&D
Patents, the Martek R&D Patents or any New R&D Inventions or (ii) any other innovation, process or
technique that, in the case of either (i) or (ii), is created by DSM or any of its Affiliates
before or during the term of this Restated Agreement, or licensed to DSM or any of its Affiliates
by a third party licensor during the term of this Restated Agreement with the right to grant a
sublicense thereunder to Martek and/or its customers, that DSM or Martek or any of their respective
Affiliates demonstrates (through its own application to the production, processing, use or sale of
ARA Products or otherwise) in fact does improve, or reduce the costs associated with, the
production, processing, use or sale of ARA Products. DSM shall provide Martek reasonable
assistance at Martek’s expense in determining whether such improvement, enhancement, innovation,
process or technique in fact does improve, or reduce the costs associated with, the production,
processing, use or sale of ARA Products and therefore is a DSM Improvement, including allowing the
use of such improvement, enhancement, innovation, process or technique to enable Martek to make
such determination. A “Martek Improvement” shall mean (i) any improvement or enhancement to the
DSM Proprietary Technology, the Martek Proprietary Technology, the Excluded Subject Matter, the DSM
R&D Patents, the Martek R&D Patents or any New R&D Inventions or (ii) any other innovation, process
or technique that, in the case of either (i) or (ii), is created by Martek or any of its Affiliates

grant a sublicense thereunder to DSM and/or its customers, that Martek or DSM or any of their
respective Affiliates demonstrates (through its own application to the production, processing, use
or sale of ARA Products or otherwise) in fact does improve, or reduce the costs associated with,
the production, processing, use or sale of ARA Products. Martek shall provide DSM reasonable
assistance at DSM’s expense in determining whether such improvement, enhancement, innovation,
process or technique in fact does improve, or reduce the costs associated with, the production,
processing, use or sale of ARA Products and therefore is a Martek Improvement, including allowing
the use of such improvement, enhancement, innovation, process or technique to enable DSM to make
such determination. Any disagreement between the parties as to whether an improvement,
enhancement, innovation, process or technique is in fact a “DSM Improvement” or a “Martek
Improvement” shall be a Disputed Fact and shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of Section
8.6. “Improvements” shall mean the “DSM Improvements” and the “Martek Improvements,” collectively,
and “Improvement” shall mean any particular DSM Improvement or Martek Improvement, as required by
the context. In the event that it is determined that a party or its Affiliates has created an
Improvement, such party shall promptly disclose and transfer pursuant to Section 7.5 information and materials
regarding such Improvements to the other party. With respect to all Improvements that are not New
R&D Inventions, it is acknowledged and agreed that each party has granted to the other party,

products that include DHA and/or other microbial oils not otherwise subject to licenses pursuant to
Section 7.4(b) (“DHA Product”) for the term of this Restated Agreement and thereafter to the extent
provided in Section 9.3; provided, however, that the license granted herein shall become royalty

(ii) For the avoidance of doubt, DSM hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Person that,
directly or indirectly, purchases or acquires DHA Product manufactured and/or sold by Martek or its
Affiliates shall not require a sublicense of the DSM Patents in order to use and/or sell such DHA
Products in any field of use, whether alone or incorporated into another product. DSM and its
Affiliates hereby covenant not to assert, or permit or cause any other Person to assert, any rights
under any DSM Patent licensed to Martek under this Section 7.4(e) against any Person (i) that,
directly or indirectly, purchases or acquires DHA Product manufactured by Martek, any of its
Affiliates, or a Third Party Toll Manufacturer and (ii) that uses, sells, offers for sale or
imports such DHA Product, alone or in combination with other products. Except as otherwise set
forth in Section 7.4(c)(ii) and 7.4(c)(iv), it is understood and agreed that DSM shall retain all
rights to assert, and to cause any other Person to assert, any rights under any DSM Patent licensed

(iii) such other areas agreed to in writing between the parties. DSM shall
request any such additional areas in writing and Martek shall notify DSM in
writing within 3 months from delivery of DSM’s written request whether it
agrees to grant any such additional rights for ARA Applications for Adults
to DSM. In the event Martek fails to deliver written notice to DSM within
such 3-month period denying DSM the rights requested, Martek shall be deemed
conclusively to have approved such request. In case Martek denies in writing
any such additional rights for ARA Applications for Adults to DSM, Martek
will provide reasons for such denial in writing to DSM.
For the avoidance of doubt, the exclusive license granted to Martek pursuant to Section 7.4(b)
under DSM Intellectual Property shall be deemed modified solely to the extent necessary to allow
DSM to practice the license granted to DSM in this Section 7.4(f). The foregoing ARA Applications
for Adults to which DSM is granted a license hereunder are hereinafter referred to as the “DSM
Adult ARA Applications,” each customer purchasing an ARA Product (alone or in combination with
another product) from DSM or one of its Affiliates for a DSM Adult ARA Application is hereinafter
referred to as a “DSM Adult Application Customer” and any ARA Product sold by DSM or one of its
Affiliates for use in a DSM Adult ARA Application is hereinafter referred to as a “DSM Adult ARA
Product.”
It is understood and agreed that (i) DSM shall not be required to deliver the notice specified in
Section 5.2 of this Restated Agreement to any DSM Adult Application Customer that purchases only a
DSM Adult ARA Product and (ii) no DSM Adult Application Customer shall be deemed to be an Out of
Scope Customer for purposes of Section 5.2 solely because it purchases a DSM Adult ARA Product. In
lieu of the requirements set forth in Section 5.2, DSM shall notify each DSM Adult Application
Customer prior to any sale to such a customer of a DSM Adult ARA Product that (a) the DSM Adult ARA
Products sold to such DSM Adult Application Customer are subject to Intellectual Property licenses
that prohibit such customer from selling or using such DSM Adult ARA Products for any application
other than a DSM Adult ARA Application and (b) such DSM Adult Application Customer will not be able
to purchase DSM Adult ARA Products from DSM or any of its Affiliates if any sale or use by such DSM
Adult Application Customer of such DSM Adult ARA Products is outside the DSM Adult ARA Applications
and (c) such DSM Adult Application Customer must label all products which incorporate such DSM
Adult ARA Product as being for use only within the relevant DSM Adult ARA Application unless such
DSM Adult ARA Application is a * in which case this clause (c) shall not apply to consumer products
within such *.
For each such sale, DSM shall provide a detailed report to Martek within forty-five (45) days
following the end of each calendar quarter which shall at least include the product name, the DSM
Adult Application Customer’s name, the intended application and the total Units of ARA sold. The
parties shall cooperate in good faith to identify any DSM Adult Application Customer that uses or
sells DSM Adult ARA Products purchased from DSM in an application other than a
DSM Adult ARA Application and DSM shall promptly stop sale of DSM Adult ARA Products to any DSM
Adult Application Customer who violates the restrictions specified above.

during reasonable business hours and after reasonable advance notice to the other party,
inspect the other party’s facilities for compliance with this Restated Agreement, and to inspect,

communication shall not be required to obtain the consent of such other party where outside legal
counsel to the party
making such communication reasonably believes and has so advised such party that such
communication is necessary in the carrying out of its disclosure obligations under applicable law
or the listing standards of any stock exchange or listing service on which the communicating
party’s securities are quoted. The final version of the communication as well as the confirmation
of such outside legal advice will be promptly provided to the other party for information.

shall not be a binding commitment on the part of the Infringed Party); and
(iii) It shall be determined, whether by arbitration pursuant to Section 10.5
or by admission of fault in writing with reference to this Section 9.2(a), that the
Infringing Party has committed the same Section 9.2(a) Material Breach a second time
at any time following the date ninety (90) days after the date of delivery of the
notice described in Section 9.2(a)(ii) but prior to the date three (3) years after
the determination by arbitration or by admission of fault described in Section
9.2(a)(i);

then the Infringed Party shall have the right to terminate this Restated Agreement effective on
delivery of written notice to the Infringing Party within one hundred twenty (120) days following
the date on which such second determination shall have been made.
If the Infringing Party continues to engage in the activity or inactivity that constitutes a
Section 9.2(a) Material Breach for more than thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the parties
may agree in writing) after the date on which it shall be determined by arbitration or admission of
fault pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) that such activity or inactivity constituted a Section 9.2(a)
Material Breach, such continued activity or inactivity shall constitute a second breach of this
Restated Agreement by the Infringing Party for the purposes of Section 9.2(a)(iii). For the
avoidance of doubt, the failure by the Infringing Party to cure a Section 9.2(a) Material Breach
that, by its very nature, cannot be cured shall not in and of itself constitute a second breach of
this Restated Agreement for purposes of this Section 9.2(a).
(b) In the event that:
(i) It shall be determined, whether by arbitration pursuant to Section 10.5 or
by admission of fault in writing with reference to this Section 9.2(b),
(A) that a party (the “Breaching Party”) failed to perform a material
obligation or covenant of this Restated Agreement that results in the other
party’s suffering material damages (a “Material Failure”) or otherwise
breached a material term of this Restated Agreement that results in the
other party’s suffering material damages (a “Material Breach”), other than a
Section 9.2(a) Material Breach, and
(B) that such Material Failure or Material Breach continued without
being ceased, cured, remedied or repaired for a period of thirty (30) days
after written notice thereof had been given to the Breaching Party by the
other party (the “Non-Breaching Party”);
(ii) Thereafter, the Non-Breaching Party delivers written notice to the
Breaching Party stating that if the Breaching Party commits the same Material
Failure or the same Material Breach a second time within a period of three (3) years
after the determination by arbitration or by admission of fault described in Section
9.2(b)(i), that the Non-Breaching Party might exercise its right to
terminate this Restated Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2(b) (which shall
not be a binding commitment on the part of the Non-Breaching Party); and

(iii) It shall be determined, whether by arbitration pursuant to Section 10.5
or by admission of fault in writing with reference to this Section 9.2(b), (A) that
the Breaching Party committed the same Material Failure or the same Material Breach
a second time following the date of delivery of the notice described in Section
9.2(a)(ii) but within the three (3) year period set forth therein and (B) that such
Material Failure or Material Breach continued without being ceased, cured, remedied
or repaired for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof had been
given to the Breaching Party by the Non-Breaching party;
then the Non-Breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this Restated Agreement effective on
delivery of written notice to the Breaching Party within one hundred twenty (120) days following
the date on which such second determination shall have been made. It is understood and agreed that
if the Breaching Party continues to engage in the activity or inactivity that constitutes a
Material Failure or a Material Breach pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i) for more than sixty (60) days
(or such longer period as the parties may agree in writing) after the date on which it shall be
determined by arbitration or admission of fault pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i) that such activity or
inactivity constituted a Material Failure or Material Breach, such continued activity or inactivity
shall be considered for the purposes of Section 9.2(b)(iii) as committing the same Material
Failure or Material Breach a second time. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure by the Breaching
Party to cure a Material Failure or Material Breach that, by its very nature, cannot be cured shall
not in and of itself constitute a second breach of this Restated Agreement for purposes of this
Section 9.2(b).
(c) In addition, in the event that either party (i) generally does not pay its debts as such
debts become due, (ii) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, (iii) makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) commences a voluntary case under the federal
bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other federal, state or foreign
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, (v) consents to the appointment of or taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, trustee, custodian, or sequestrator (or other similar
official) of such party or of any substantial part of its property, or (vi) takes board or
shareholder action intended or likely to result in any event described in clauses (i) through (vi)
of this subsection, or in the event there shall be entered in respect of either party a decree or
order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under the
federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal, state or
foreign bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, trustee,
custodian, or sequestrator (or other similar official) of such party or of any substantial part of
its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or
order shall continue unstayed in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days, then
the other party (and the other party only) shall have the right to terminate this Restated
Agreement.

9.3. Effect of Expiration and Termination on Intellectual Property Rights.
(a) Expiration. Upon expiration of this Restated Agreement, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Restated Agreement but except as may be limited by third party
licensors or otherwise as described below in this Section 9.3(a), the parties intend that each
party shall be entitled to utilize the same set of Intellectual Property licensed to it hereunder
as of the date of expiration in order to make, use, have made, import, sell or offer for sale any
ARA Products, alone or combined with other products, in any market or field, including without
limitation the Martek XXX Xxxxxx of Use and the DSM XXX Xxxxxx of Use and, with respect to Martek,
DHA Products, without accounting to the other party. For the avoidance of doubt, however,
following the expiration of this Restated Agreement, each party shall thereafter be free to develop
new Intellectual Property, including improvements to then-existing Intellectual Property, and the
other party shall have no rights hereunder to such new Intellectual Property. Accordingly,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Restated Agreement, upon expiration (but
not termination) of this Restated Agreement, it is understood and agreed as follows:
(i) (A) each exclusive license granted pursuant to Article 7 of this Restated
Agreement shall survive in full force and effect but shall automatically convert to
a non-exclusive license, and each non-exclusive license granted pursuant to Article
7 shall survive in full force and effect in perpetuity and shall remain
non-exclusive, (B) the rights to use Joint Proprietary Technology set forth in
Article 7 shall survive in full force and effect but shall automatically convert
from partially exclusive rights to non-exclusive rights, shall become royalty-free,
shall no longer be limited to specific fields of use and may be used in any market
or field, and shall be nonsublicenseable (except as set forth in Section 9.3(a)(ii)
below); and (C) each of Martek and DSM hereby grants to the other party a perpetual,
nonexclusive, worldwide, nonassignable, royalty-free and nonsublicenseable (except
as set forth in Section 9.3(a)(ii) below) license under its Surviving IP (as defined
in Section 9.3(a)(iii)) to make, use, have made, import, sell and offer for sale ARA
Products, alone or combined with other products, in any market or field or location
to the extent not provided in (A) or (B) above.
(ii) Each party shall be entitled to grant a sublicense of the other party’s
rights in any Surviving IP only to its Affiliates and to third party toll
manufacturers, and neither party shall have the right to grant a sublicense to any
other third party without the prior written consent of the other party;
provided, however, that third parties that purchase ARA Products that are
sold by Martek or DSM shall have the right to use such products in any manner for
which they were sold.

(iii) “Surviving IP” shall mean DSM Proprietary Technology, Martek Proprietary
Technology, Joint Proprietary Technology, DSM R&D Patents,
Martek R&D Patents, Improvements and Excluded Subject Matter, either as owned
by a party or its Affiliates or licensed to a party by a third party licensor with
the right to grant rights or a sublicense thereunder to the other party, all as of
the date of expiration of this Restated Agreement (or earlier date of termination),
including any Intellectual Property that would fall within one of the aforementioned
capitalized defined terms as of the date of expiration of this Restated Agreement
(or earlier termination date) if the parties had fully complied with their
obligations hereunder and regardless of whether it has been previously disclosed or
added to a corresponding schedule as contemplated by this Restated Agreement;
provided that, in the event this Restated Agreement shall be terminated
pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or (b) and Martek is the Infringed Party, the Excluded
Subject Matter shall continue to be subject to the limitations set forth in Section
7.2(b)(iii) through December 31, 2023. The parties shall jointly identify all
Surviving IP in accordance with the following procedure: Commencing no later than
ninety (90) days prior to the date of expiration (or earlier termination) of this
Restated Agreement and to be completed no later than ninety (90) days after the date
of such expiration (or earlier termination), the parties will jointly conduct a
thorough review to determine all Intellectual Property owned by each party, or to
which each party has rights as licensee or otherwise, to determine whether it meets
the definition of “Surviving IP,” and prepare the list of Surviving IP clearly
identifying each party’s ownership and/or license or other interest therein.
(iv) For clarity, the non-exclusive license granted pursuant to Section 7.4(e)
shall survive in perpetuity and remain a non-exclusive license in accordance with
the restrictions of Section 7.4(e).
(b) For Cause. In the event of a termination of this Restated Agreement for cause in
accordance with Section 9.2(a), Section 9.2(b), Section 9.2(c) or Section 5.5 hereof, the
Infringing Party, the Breaching Party, the insolvent party to which Section 9.2(c) applies, and the
Notifying Party, as applicable, shall be referred to as the “Triggering Party” and the Infringed
Party, the Non-Breaching Party, the party to whom Section 9.2(c) does not apply, and the Responding
Party, as applicable, shall be referred to as the “Non-Triggering Party.” Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Restated Agreement, upon the effective date of such termination
for cause in accordance with Sections 9.2(a), (b) or (c) or Section 5.5, the Triggering Party’s and
Non-Triggering Party’s rights in Intellectual Property shall be as follows:

Triggering Party pursuant to Article 7 of this Restated Agreement shall survive in

Triggering Party’s XXX Xxxxxx of Use; provided, that third parties that
purchase ARA Products that are sold by the Triggering Party shall have the right to
use such products in any manner for which they were sold in accordance with the
terms of this Restated Agreement. The Triggering Party shall not have the right to
grant a sublicense or similar rights to any other third party without the prior
written consent of the Non-Triggering Party.

require any consent pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(iii), and (C) the Triggering Party
hereby grants to the Non-Triggering Party a worldwide, nonassignable, royalty-free
and nonsublicenseable (except as set forth below) license under its Surviving IP to

termination (subject to any waiting period imposed by Section 5.5 upon a party’s
right to commence sales in the other party’s Fields of Use).

clearly identifying each party’s ownership interest or license rights therein, all
as further provided in Section 9.3(a)(iii).

9.4. Other Effects of Termination; Damages; Cap.
(a) It is understood and agreed by the parties that, in the event Martek fails to perform any
obligation or covenant or otherwise breaches any term of this Restated Agreement or if DSM
exercises any right it may have to terminate this Restated Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or
Section 9.2(b), DSM shall be entitled to damages sufficient to place DSM in as good a position as
it would have been in if there had been no breach or termination and this Restated Agreement had
been fully performed, taking into consideration the net amount of losses caused and gains
prevented, in excess of the savings made possible, by the breach or termination and, in calculating
such damages as they relate to lost DSM Xxxx Up in the event DSM exercises any such right to
terminate this Restated Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), DSM’s damages based
on sales it otherwise would have made to Martek and its Affiliates through December 31, 2023 shall
be determined on the following basis:
(i) If the date of termination is prior to January 1, 2015, then DSM’s lost
profits on sales of ARA Products to Martek and its Affiliates as a result of such
termination shall be calculated based on:
(A) DSM’s Xxxx Up in effect at the time of termination of this
Restated Agreement for DSM’s lost sales prior to January 1, 2015; and
(B) fifty percent (50%) of Martek’s Gross Profit on its sales of
ARA Products in the Martek XXX Xxxxxx of Use, as determined pursuant
to Section 6.7, for DSM’s lost sales on and after January 1, 2015; or
(ii) If the date of termination is on or after January 1, 2015, then DSM’s lost
profits on sales of ARA Products to Martek and its Affiliates as a result of such
termination shall be calculated based on the DSM Xxxx Up or other pricing
arrangement in effect on the date of termination for DSM’s lost sales from and after
the date of termination through December 31, 2023.
It is understood and agreed that the amount of damages that DSM shall be entitled to claim
hereunder shall be reduced (i) by the Gross Profits that DSM derives from sales of ARA Products
into Martek XXX Xxxxxx of Use but not including Gross Profits that DSM derives from sales of ARA
Products into any Martek XXX Xxxxxx of Use where such sales are permitted by an arbitration
decision pursuant to Section 5.5 and (ii) by the DSM Gross Profits that DSM derives from
alternative utilization of its ARA production facilities, to the extent DSM could not have derived
such DSM Gross Profits had there not been such a termination of this Restated Agreement. In the
event of termination of this Restated Agreement by DSM pursuant to Section 9.2, DSM agrees to take
all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate the damages it incurs and Martek shall reimburse DSM
for all costs and expenses associated therewith. For the purposes
of this Section 9.4(a), “DSM Gross Profits” shall mean gross monies including royalties
received from the sales of products or services minus costs of goods/services sold, including but
not limited to depreciation, commissions, delivery costs, sales tax and credits for refunds and
returns directly related to such sales or services.

Martek shall pay DSM any damages determined pursuant to this Section 9.4(a) quarterly, based
on (i) the actual quantities of ARA Products Martek and its Affiliates purchase from third parties
during such quarter plus (ii) the amount of ARA Products that Martek and its Affiliates produce and
sell themselves during such calendar quarter in excess of the Martek Allocation. Martek shall
provide DSM with a written statement of such amounts within thirty (30) days following the end of
such quarter, which statement shall include payment to DSM of the amount to which DSM is entitled
with respect to lost sales during such quarter, include a detailed calculation of such amount and
shall be certified as to its accuracy by the chief financial officer of Martek. DSM shall be
entitled to have an independent accounting firm audit from time to time the relevant books and
records of Martek and its Affiliates to confirm Martek’s and Martek’s Affiliates’ compliance with
the terms hereof. Such audit shall be at the cost of DSM unless it shall reveal a not immaterial
underpayment by Martek, in which event Martek shall bear the costs of the audit in addition to
owing such underpayment to DSM.
In the event that Martek terminates this Restated Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or
Section 9.2(b), DSM covenants and agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall compete
with Martek or any Martek Affiliate for sales of ARA Products in the Martek XXX Xxxxxx of Use until
the earlier of the date three (3) years after the date of such termination and December 31, 2023.
In the event that DSM terminates this Restated Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section
9.2(b), Martek covenants and agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall compete with
DSM or any DSM Affiliate for sales of ARA Products in the DSM XXX Xxxxxx of Use until the earlier
of the date three (3) years after the date of such termination and December 31, 2023.
(b) It is understood and agreed by the parties that, in the event DSM fails to perform any
obligation or covenant or otherwise breaches any term of this Restated Agreement, Martek shall be
entitled to (i) damages sufficient to place Martek in as good a position as it would have been in
if there had been no breach and this Restated Agreement had been fully performed, taking into
consideration the net amount of losses caused and gains prevented, in excess of the savings made
possible, by the breach, (ii) in the event that DSM or any of its Affiliates shall sell ARA
Products into any Martek XXX Xxxxxx of Use in violation of the provisions of this Restated
Agreement, Martek’s lost profits on such sales and (iii) in the event Martek exercises any right it
may have to terminate this Restated Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), the DSM
ARA Field of Use Royalty on DSM’s sales of ARA Products from and after the date of termination
through December 31, 2023, calculated and payable as set forth in Section 6.9.
DSM shall pay Martek any damages determined pursuant to this Section 9.4(b) quarterly. DSM
shall provide Martek with a written statement of such amounts within thirty (30)
days following the end of such quarter, which statement shall include payment to Martek of the
royalties to which Martek is entitled with respect to sales of ARA Products by DSM and its
Affiliates during such quarter, include a detailed calculation of such amount and shall be
certified as to its accuracy by the chief financial officer of DSM. Martek shall be entitled to
have an independent accounting firm audit from time to time the relevant books and records of DSM
and its Affiliates to confirm DSM’s and DSM’s Affiliates’ compliance with the terms hereof. Such
audit shall be at the cost of Martek unless it shall reveal a not immaterial underpayment by DSM,
in which event DSM shall bear the costs of the audit in addition to owing such underpayment to
Martek.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Restated Agreement, the total
aggregate amount that a party (a “Liable Party”) shall be liable for and required to pay to the
other party in respect of losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses (“Losses”) that are asserted
against or suffered by such other party arising out of, in connection with or based upon the breach
or failure to perform by the Liable Party of the provisions of this Restated Agreement shall not
exceed, and the Liable Party shall have no liability under this Restated Agreement for any Losses
that exceed in the aggregate one hundred fifty million US Dollars ($150,000,000) (the “Cap”).
In the event of multiple determinations of Losses against a Liable Party under this Restated
Agreement (whether by arbitration or admission of fault), the Cap on the liability of the Liable
Party for each subsequent determination of a Loss shall be equal to:
|
(i) |
|
One hundred fifty million dollars ($150,000,000); |
Minus
|
(ii) |
|
The total aggregate amount of Losses that have been theretofore awarded against
the Liable Party pursuant to an arbitration procedure conducted in accordance with
Section 10.5 of this Restated Agreement plus the amount of Losses that have
been theretofore actually paid by the Liable Party to the other party in respect of
claims of breach or failure to perform by the Liable Party that are settled between the
parties without the issuance of an arbitration award. |
Nothing contained in this Section 9.4(c) shall be deemed to limit in any way either party’s right
to seek provisional injunctive relief or other similar forms of provisional remedies pursuant to
Section 10.5(e) of this Restated Agreement.
(d) In the event either DSM or Martek exercises its right, if any, to accelerate the
expiration of the Restated Agreement as provided in Section 6.8(b), the provisions of Section
9.3(a) shall apply and the following shall apply:
(i) if DSM has and exercises its right to accelerate expiration of this
Restated Agreement pursuant to Section 6.8(b), then DSM covenants and agrees
that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall compete with Martek or any
Martek Affiliate for sales of ARA Products in the Martek XXX Xxxxxx of Use until the
date that is one (1) year after the date of such accelerated expiration.

amount equal to the sum of the Undepreciated * Costs and the Undepreciated Pre-2004
Costs as of such accelerated expiration date and, (B) in the event Martek’s exercise
results directly in a DSM plant closing or layoff of DSM personnel * within six (6)
months of such expiration date, an amount equal to fees or payments imposed on or
required to be paid by DSM under federal, state or local law directly as a result of
such plant closing or personnel layoffs, if any, but not to include any amounts (1)
arising from DSM’s employee benefit plans or policies or that are in addition to any
fees imposed or required under such laws or (2) arising from DSM’s failure to give
sufficient notice under such laws.
(iii) “Undepreciated * Costs” shall mean an amount equal to the costs incurred
by DSM * for fixed assets directly and solely dedicated to ARA production for Martek
pursuant to this Restated Agreement, less the total depreciation of such assets as
set forth on Schedule 9.4(d)-1, as revised from time to time, subject to the
following: (a) the Undepreciated * Costs as of the Signing Date is to be set forth
on Schedule 9.4(d)-1, and (b) the Undepreciated * Costs shall be updated annually to
reflect the depreciation of the assets and to include costs for fixed assets
incurred after the Signing Date that are Approved Capital Assets, but shall not
include any such costs that are not Approved Capital Assets. “Undepreciated Pre-2004

10.2. Confidential Information.
The parties acknowledge and agree that each party will be disclosing confidential information
to the other party and that the parties will be developing confidential information jointly during
the term of this Restated Agreement, including but not limited to, the Specifications, know-how
(including, without limitation, all Know-how), Know-how Records, financial, marketing and business
data (if any), and cost information, business strategies, ideas, concepts, ARA Field of Use and
marketing information, financial information and Joint Proprietary Technology (the “Confidential
Information”). Each party agrees that it shall hold the Confidential Information in strict
confidence, shall not disclose it to others or use it in any way, commercially or otherwise, except

party which is under no obligation to the disclosing party to protect the confidentiality thereof,

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party or any of its employees or other representatives becomes
legally compelled (whether by subpoena, court order or other legal process, by any governmental
authority or by applicable law) to disclose any of the Confidential Information or the fact that
the Confidential Information has been made available to the receiving party or such employees or
representatives, the receiving party shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, give
the disclosing party an adequate opportunity, at the disclosing party’s expense, to interpose an
objection and/or to seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing party may
consider appropriate in the circumstances. The receiving party shall, and shall assure that each
such employee or representative shall, disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information
that it is legally required to disclose.

on all shipments of ARA Products by DSM to Martek or any Martek customer, pursuant to delivery or
order instructions by Martek to DSM, and DSM shall not attach any additional brand names,
trademarks, trade names, logos or designations to any such shipment. DSM’s use of Martek’s brand
names and the Martek trade name shall be in accordance with Martek’s policies in effect from time

trade name. Upon expiration or termination of this Restated Agreement, DSM will immediately cease
all use of the Martek brand names and the Martek trade name.

10.5. Disputes; Arbitration.
(a)
Disputes Generally. The parties hereby undertake to use good faith efforts to settle any
dispute arising under this Restated Agreement. Failing settlement, all disputes, including without
limitation all unresolved Disputed Issues, claims of breach of contract, fraud in the inducement,
negligence, and any other claim of dispute related to this contract shall be finally settled in
accordance with the Rules of Conciliation and Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce
(the “ICC Rules”). In addition, the parties agree that the arbitration shall be conducted according
to the International Bar Association’s Rules of Evidence (the “IBA Rules”). Where the ICC Rules and
the IBA Rules are inconsistent, the IBA Rules shall prevail, but solely with respect to the
presentation and receipt of evidence. The arbitration shall take place in and the seat of the
arbitration shall be
New York,
New York, USA. There shall be a panel of three (3) arbitrators for
all disputes. The claimant party shall appoint an arbitrator in the arbitration petition and the
respondent party shall appoint an arbitrator in response. If within thirty (30) days after the
arbitration petition, the respondent has not appointed an arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be
appointed by the ICC. Within thirty (30) days of their confirmation, the two arbitrators shall
appoint a third arbitrator who shall preside over the arbitration panel. If the two arbitrators
cannot agree on a third arbitrator within such thirty (30) day period, the third arbitrator shall
be appointed by the ICC. The arbitrators shall, before accepting such appointment, agree to render
their decision to the parties in writing together with the underlying reasoning, including separate
statements of findings of facts and conclusions of law, no later than sixty (60) days after
completion of hearings, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of
appointment of the last of the arbitrators to be appointed. Any final arbitration award shall be
final and not subject to appeal.
(b) Language; Transcript. English shall be the official language of the arbitration
proceedings. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. Relevant documents in
other languages shall be translated into English if the arbitrators so direct. A written transcript
in English of the hearing will be made and furnished to the parties.
(c) Decision of Arbitrators. The arbitrators will decide in accordance with the terms of this
Restated Agreement and will take into account any appropriate international trade usages applicable
to the transaction. The award of the arbitrators will be final and binding upon the parties.
Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction in accordance with the
Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of June 10, 1958. An
application may be made to any such court for judicial acceptance of the award and an order of
enforcement.
(d) Expense of Arbitration. The arbitrators shall determine the allocation between the parties
of expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs; provided however in the event of arbitration pursuant to the provisions
of Section 5.5 the arbitrators must award the prevailing party its attorneys fees and costs,
arbitration administrative fees, panel member fees and costs, and any other costs associated with
the arbitration.

(e) Provisional Remedies Not Denied. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the
provisions of this Restated Agreement are of the essence and that any violation by it of any
provision contained in this Restated Agreement shall cause the other party irreparable injury not
fully compensable by monetary damages and for which the non-breaching party may not have an
adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, if a non-breaching party institutes an arbitration action or
proceeding to enforce this Restated Agreement in accordance with the procedures set forth above,
then such non-breaching party shall be entitled to provisional injunctive relief or other form of
provisional remedy in aid of the arbitration as may be necessary or appropriate to the fullest
extent permissible under applicable law, to enjoin, prevent or curtail any breach of this Restated
Agreement, threatened or actual, without the posting of any bond or security, whether in summary
proceedings or on the merits. It is understood and agreed, however, that the final determination
of any alleged breach giving rise to any provisional injunctive relief or other form of provisional
remedy shall be made solely by the arbitrators in accordance with the provisions set forth above.
In addition to the authority conferred upon the arbitration tribunal by the ICC Rules, the
tribunal, along with any court of competent jurisdiction, shall also have the authority to grant
provisional remedies, including injunctive relief. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it is understood and agreed that a party shall be entitled to injunctive relief in the
event the other party breaches any of the provisions of Section 5.5.
(f) Federal Arbitration Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the arbitration
provisions set forth herein, and any arbitration conducted thereunder, shall be governed
exclusively by the Federal Arbitration Act, Title 9, United States Code and the Convention on the
Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of June 10, 1958, to the exclusion of any
state or municipal law.
10.6. Regulatory Matters.
Each party shall provide the other party with all information the other party may reasonably
request in order to obtain or comply with any necessary regulatory approvals, permits, licenses,
clearances and notifications required by it in connection with its performance under this Restated
Agreement, including but not limited to all information concerning studies performed by or on
behalf of such party in the field of product identification, characterization and analysis;
pathogenicity, toxicity, mutagenicity and clinical trials. Each party shall promptly notify the
other of all communications with the FDA and other regulatory agencies regarding ARA.
10.7. Assignment, Delegation and Subrogation; Insurance Inspection.
(a) Neither this Restated Agreement nor any rights granted hereby may be assigned by either
party without the prior written consent of the other party. Any attempt by either party to assign
any rights, duties or obligations without the requisite consent of the other party shall be void
and without force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party shall have the right to
assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Restated Agreement (i) to
an Affiliate, provided that such party shall guarantee the full and timely performance of such
obligations by such Affiliate, and (ii) in the event of a purchase of a party’s entire business to
which this Restated Agreement relates or the purchase of all or substantially all of a party’s
assets, subject in the case of (ii) to the consent of the non-assigning party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither party shall subrogate to an
insurance carrier or similar entity any right it may have to claim or recover Losses from (i) the
other party arising out of or in connection with this Restated Agreement, or (ii) a third party
arising out of or in connection with this Restated Agreement to the extent the other party is
required, pursuant to a legally binding obligation in effect at the time of such Losses, to
indemnify such third party against such Losses if such third party were to pay them, in each case,
without the prior written consent of such other party. Each party shall indemnify and hold harmless
the other party, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from
and against all Losses, including reasonable counsel fees, that such other party suffers or incurs
as a result of any subrogation made by it in violation of the terms of this Restated Agreement;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 10.7(b) shall be deemed to relieve such
other party from any liability arising as a result of any breach or failure to perform under this
Restated Agreement.
(c) In the event that an insurance carrier or similar entity gives notice to a party that it
has been subrogated to the rights of the other party and that such carrier or entity intends to
exercise such rights against it, then such party receiving such notice shall give the other party
prompt written notice thereof.
(d) Upon reasonable notice during regular working hours, representatives of each of DSM’s and
Martek’s insurance carriers may inspect the manufacturing facilities used by or for the respective
parties in the manufacture of ARA for (i) the purpose of inspections or loss control visits
relative to insurance being secured or validated or (ii) assessing the validity of an insurance
claim and/or the extent of damage under an insurance claim submitted by DSM or Martek,
respectively.
10.8. Amendments and Waivers.
Except as expressly stated herein, neither this Restated Agreement nor any terms hereof may be
amended, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination
is in writing signed by all parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance.
10.9. Severability.
If any provision of this Restated Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. In the case of any such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, the parties agree to use their commercially
reasonable efforts to achieve the purpose of such provision by a new legally valid and enforceable
stipulation. In addition, the parties hereby authorize any court or arbitrator having jurisdiction
thereover to modify such provision to the extent necessary to render such provision enforceable,
and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly,
preserving to the fullest permissible extent the intent and the agreements of the parties.

Process for the preparation of
a granular microbial biomass
and isolation of valuable
compounds therefrom
|
|
A process for the
isolation of desired
compound(s) from a
microbial biomass is
disclosed, wherein the
microbial biomass
(which, if necessary,
is pre-treated to give
a dry matter content
of from 25 to 80% is
granulated (e.g. by
extrusion) and then
dried to a dry matter
content of at least
80%. The granulation
of the biomass to
granules significantly
eases subsequent
drying of the biomass
(which can be stored
as dried granules) and
gives higher yields on
extraction of the
compound(s). |

production of infant formula
|
|
The present invention
relates to a process

fatty acid
(PUFA)-containing
food, such as an
infant formula, where
a composition
comprising a PUFA is
added at a late stage
of the infant formula
preparation process in
this way, the PUFAs is

Sterol extraction with polar
solvent
|
|
The present invention
relates to a process
of treating an oil,
the process comprising
contacting the oil
with a polar solvent,
and then separating
the solvent containing
the compound from the
so treated oil. The
oil is microbially
derived, and extracted
either form a
fermentation broth or
a filtrate thereof
using hexane. The
compound to be
extracted is usually a
sterol or a
diglyceride. The
solvent is ethanol
having up to 5% of
water. The oil an
contain a
plyunsaturated fatty
acid such as C28, C20
or C22 w-e, or w-6
fatty acid, such as

|
Microbial ARA for use in
marine feed
|
|
A marine feed
composition is
described comprising
microbially derived
arachidonic acid (ARA)
or ARA in the form of
a triglyceride. The
ARA is suitably
produced by a fungus,
such as of the genus
Mortierella, although
the feed composition
itself is free of
microbial cells. These
forms of ARA have been
found to give better
growth and
pigmentation promotion
in marine organisms
(shrimps and fish)
than corresponding
phospholipid forms of
ARA from fish oil. The
ARA can be in the form
of an oil, e.g. an
oil-in-water emulsion
or may first be fed to
larvae, rotifers or
nauplii which are
themselves included in
a composition as
“live” feed for larger
organisms. |

Preparation of microbial oil
|
|
The present invention
provides a process for
the production of a
microbial oil,
comprising culturing a
micro-organism in a
two-stage process
where, in a last stage
that precedes the end
of fermentation, the
carbon source is: consumed by the
micro-organisms at a
rate greater than it
is added to the
medium; added at a
rate < 0.30 M
carbon/kg medium; or
is rate limiting on
the growth of the
micro-organism. The
Micro-organism thus
have the carbon source
restricted so that
they preferentially
metobolise fats or
lipids other than
arachidonic acid
(ARA), so increasing
th proportion of ARA
in the cells. A
microbial oil is then
recovered from the
micro-organism, using
hexane as a solvent,
that has at least 50 %
ARA and at least 90 %
triglycerides. |

Product Storage and Stability
Maximum stability of ARASCO is achieved by shipping and storing the product frozen in the
original unopened container at -20 degrees Centigrade until thawed for use. The oil
should be protected from exposure to oxygen and elevated temperatures (> 30 C).
Shipping and storage under frozen conditions provides stability for ARASCO for up to three
years if product is kept frozen and unopened.
Once a container of oil is thawed and opened, use entire contents immediately. However,
if it is not possible to use the entire amount at one time, the remainder may be nitrogen
purged and refrozen at -20 degrees Centigrade.
Ingredients
Fungal Oil; * antioxidants.
