NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(b) Subject to the satisfaction of all the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 hereof, as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, each Lender (including the Upsizing Lender) and each of the Loan Parties hereby:
(i) consents to the incurrence by Borrower of the Upsized Commitments (including any Loans incurred in respect thereof);
(ii) agrees that the Upsized Commitments, and any Loans incurred in respect thereof, shall be Commitments and Loans for all purposes under the Credit Agreement;

(iv) agrees that the Upsizing Lender shall fund a non-ratable portion of the immediately succeeding incurrence of Loans by the Borrower in an amount that would result in each Lender having funded the same proportion of Loans as its proportion of Commitments, which amount is specified in Exhibit A; and
(v) consents to the OpCo Loan Parties’ entry into the OpCo Amendment and each of the transactions contemplated thereunder.
2. Amendments. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 hereof, as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Signatory Lenders, who constitute all of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, hereby agree that the Credit Agreement is amended as follows:
2 |
(a) Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new definitions:
“Third Amendment” means that certain Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2021, by and among the Borrower, Holdings, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.
“Third Amendment Effective Date” has the meaning assigned to such term in the Third Amendment.
(b) Annex I to the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
(c) The reference to “July 30, 2021” is hereby changed to “September 15, 2021” in Section 5.32(a) of the Credit Agreement.
3. Consent No. 2 and Amendment No. 2 Fees.
(a) Section 5 of Consent No. 2 and Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2021 (“Consent No. 2 and Amendment No. 2”), requires the Borrower to pay to each Lender on the earlier to occur of (i) July 30, 2021 and (ii) the date Sponsor completes an Additional Capital Raise, in either case, the Amendment & Consent Premium (as defined in Amendment No. 3 and hereinafter referred to as the “Amendment & Consent Premium”) in an amount equal to 1.00% of the Commitments and Loans of such Lender (such earlier date, the “Prior Premium Deadline”). The Amendment & Consent Premium was earned by each Lender on the date of Consent No. 2 and Amendment No. 2.
(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the Prior Premium Deadline shall not apply and Amendment & Consent Premium shall be payable the earlier to occur of (x) September 15, 2021 and (y) the date Sponsor completes an Additional Capital Raise, (i) the Amendment & Consent Premium shall be paid in warrants issued by the Sponsor on the terms set forth in Exhibit B (each such warrant, a “GCEH Warrant” and collectively, the “GCEH Warrants”) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, supersedes Exhibit A to Consent No. 2 and Amendment No. 2) and (ii) the GCEH Warrants must be issued in accordance with the term sheet set forth in Exhibit B, and any failure by the Sponsor to issue GCEH Warrants on the dates set forth in Exhibit B and otherwise in accordance with Exhibit B shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Amended Credit Agreement.
(c) The Borrower hereby agrees that the premium payable under this Section 4 shall be paid without set-off, deduction or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without deduction by reason of, any taxes.
(d) All fees and premiums hereunder, once paid, are nonrefundable and are in addition to and not creditable against any other fee or premium payable to any Lender and/or its affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Amended Credit Agreement or otherwise.
(e) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Amendment and Consent Premium shall be treated as a payment on the loan made pursuant to the Credit Agreement (in accordance with the ordering provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-2(a)). The Administrative Agent shall determine the portion of the Amendment & Consent Premium and the value to be ascribed to such Amendment & Consent Premium for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes, and shall communicate such determination to the parties hereto. The Parties agree to file tax returns consistent with such treatment.

Exhibit B
to Amendment nO. 3
GCEH Warrants Term Sheet
Issuer | Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (“GCEH”) |
Premium Amounts |
Pursuant to Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement, each of the Lenders, the Opco Senior Lenders or their respective Affiliates or designees (such person, a “Lender Equity Recipient”) were awarded the right to receive a premium equal to such Lender Equity Recipient’s ratable share of 1.00% multiplied by the commitments and loans under the Credit Agreement, which fee shall be payable in equity of GCEH (the “Amendment No. 3 Premium”).
An amount of GCEH Warrants shall be issued to pay the Amendment No. 3 Premium in accordance with the following formula:
i. If on any date prior to September 15, 2021, GCEH completes an equity raise transaction in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than $10 million (a “Material Equity Raise”), Borrower (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will cause GCEH to issue GCEH Warrants to the Lender Equity Recipients, the amount of such GCEH Warrants to be determined in accordance with the following formula: (a) an amount equal to the Amendment No. 3 Premium divided by (b) the price paid in respect of GCEH’s Common Shares in such Material Capital Raise.
ii. If after September 15, 2021, any portion of the Amendment No. 3 Premium remains unpaid, then Borrower will cause GCEH to issue additional warrants to the Lender Equity Recipients, the amount of such warrants to be determined in accordance with the following formula: (a) the unpaid Amendment No. 3 Premium divided by (b) the trailing ten (10) day volume weighted average price of GCEH’s Common Stock as of the trading day immediately prior to the issuance date.
All such GCEH Warrants shall be issued to each Lender Equity Recipient on a ratable basis based on the loans and commitments of the applicable Lender or Opco Senior Lender, as determined by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably. |
Exercise Price and Mechanics | The GCEH Warrants shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, either upon payment of the exercise price in cash (which, if in cash, shall be $0.01), or by cashless exercise, at the option of the Lender Equity Recipients. |
Exercise Period | The GCEH Warrants shall be exercisable from and after April 1, 2022 through the date that is two years after the Term Conversion Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement). |
Warrant Protections | The GCEH Warrants shall contain provisions protecting the Lender Equity Recipients from stock dividends, splits and certain other fundamental transactions (such as mergers, acquisitions, changes of control and/or sales). |
Rights upon Distributions | The Lender Equity Recipients shall have the right to participate in any dividend or other distribution to holders of shares of Common Stock to the same extent that the Lender Equity Recipients would have participated therein if the Lender Equity Recipients had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of the GCEH Warrants immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such dividend or other distribution. |
Transferability of Warrants | Freely transferable, subject to applicable securities laws. |
Limitations on Exercise | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the GCEH Warrants shall not be exercisable if the Lender Equity Recipients together with any other “attribution parties” collectively would beneficially own in the aggregate in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of common stock of GCEH outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). At any time, upon written notice to GCEH, a Lender Equity Recipients may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage; provided that any increase to the Maximum Percentage shall not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such written notice is delivered to GCEH. |
Registration Rights | Customary registration rights to be agreed. |
Other Terms of GCEH Warrants | The other terms of the GCEH Warrants shall be mutually agreed. |
