If in Month 2 as shown in Table 1 of Exhibit A, the Market Price is $4.00 per Common Share (which is more than the Minimum Conversion Price as listed in Table 1 of Exhibit A), then the Breakout Price shall apply as shown here:

The Senior Investors shall transfer the Senior Purchase Price to the Intermediary for the benefit of the Company 48 hours prior to the Company Closing. The Intermediary shall hold all such funds and make no investments or transfers or amalgamate any such funds with other funds. The Intermediary may only deposit such Senior Purchase Price funds into the Company Cash Account (or transfer back to the Investors as provided for in Section 2.1.7.3).
The Intermediary shall notify the Senior Investors and the Company in writing as soon as practicable after it has received the Senior Purchase Price.
The Company shall transfer the Certificated Series E Shares to the Intermediary for the benefit of the Senior Investors 48 hours prior to the Company Closing.

The Intermediary shall ensure that the Business Milestones have been satisfied, that the Subscription Agreement, this Agreement, and the Customer Account Agreements have all been signed, that the Company Cash Account and the relevant Securities Accounts have been properly opened, and that all Senior Purchase Price, Certificated Series E Shares and other deliveries have been made as called for by this Section 2.1 (collectively, the “Compliance Check”).

2.1.5.1.1
|
The Intermediary shall complete its Compliance Check at least 48 hours before the Closing Date.

|
2.1.5.1.2
|
The Company shall issue the Intermediary a written notice of undertaking (the "Undertaking") prior to the Closing Date stating:
|
|
|
(a)
|
that the Subscription Agreement is signed and ready to close upon receipt of confirmation from Intermediary that the requisite Senior Purchase Price funds from Senior Investors have been deposited in the Company Cash Account for the benefit of the Company;
|
|
|
(b)
|
that the Certificated Series E Shares are in the possession of the Intermediary; and,
|
|
|

|
formally requesting that Intermediary close the transaction contemplated in the Subscription Agreement.
|
|
|
2.1.5.1.3

The Intermediary shall, after receipt of the Undertaking, deposit the Senior Purchase Price in the Company Cash Account.
|
The Intermediary shall not receive any separate Fees for the Company Closing. All Fees shall be paid out of the Breakouts according to Exhibit A. The Company shall pay $1,500 upon opening the Company Cash Account.
For avoidance of doubt, the payment and subsequent deposit of the Senior Purchase Price into the Company Cash Account shall not be reversible under any circumstances not listed in Section 2.1.7.3. The Company is the sole Party that may receive the Senior Purchase Price disbursements once the Senior Purchase Price has been deposited into the Company Cash Account. The Series E Conversion mechanics and various terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Subscription Agreement cumulatively set forth and enforce limitations on the rate of the release of the Senior Purchase Price to the Company depending on the (i) valuation and (ii) demand for the Company’s Common Stock. Plainly stated, the Breakouts have been structured with a view towards incentivising the Company to build shareholder value to the targeted Breakout Prices on the targeted time frames set forth in Table 1 of Exhibit A hereof. In the event and to the extent that the Company is unable to build value to the targeted Breakout Prices on the targeted time frames, the Company will incur additional dilution at the Series E Conversion Rate for the same Senior Purchase Price paid by the Senior Investors; and, in the event that the demand and volume for the Common Stock are insufficient to justify release of the Scheduled Breakout as shown in and according to the terms provided for in Section A.2.2 of Exhibit A hereof, then the release of the Senior Purchase Price scheduled for any such Breakout shall be reduced on a pro rated basis to be equal to no more than the “Trailing Volume”1 times the then-current Market Price (the “Available Breakout”).2 Any such reduction, or the difference between the Scheduled Breakout and the Available Breakout, shall be subject to release from the Draw Account as provided for in Section A.2.4 of Exhibit A hereof.
In the event that the Company has not made effective an amendment its Certificate of Incorporation within SIX (6) months of the Company Closing Date, then the Company shall deliver to the Senior Investors another security in the Company that, in the sole discretion of the Senior Investors, is convertible into substantially the same number of Common Shares with the substantially the same protections and rights as the Parties have intended the Series E Shares to hold.
|
1
|
The “Trailing Volume” shall equal the average daily volume for the Common Shares during the 30 calendar days preceding each Breakout multiplied by the number of trading days during the 30 calendar days preceding each Breakout.
|
|
2
|
The “Available Breakout” means the product of 20% times the Trailing Volume times the then-current Market Price.
|

2.1.7.2

The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem, and the Senior Investors shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Company, all of the Series E Shares that the Senior Investors may beneficially own at the time of any Insolvency Event for consideration equal to any remaining Senior Purchase Price proceeds in the Company Cash Account at the time of any such Insolvency Event. As used herein, the term “Insolvency Event” shall mean any event that the Company shall have acquiesced in the appointment of a custodian, trustee or receiver for the Company or, in the absence of such application, consent or acquiescence, a custodian, trustee or receiver shall be appointed for the Company; or any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or other proceedings under any bankruptcy or insolvency law shall be instituted by or against the Company and, if instituted against the Company, shall have been consented to or acquiesced in by the Company or shall remain undismissed for 60 days, or an order for relief shall have been entered against the Company.

EXHIBIT A
RULES APPLICABLE TO SENIOR INVESTMENT
Section A.1 Breakout Conditions
Once the Breakout Trigger is activated as per Section 2.2.1 (deposit of free trading Common Shares issuable upon filing of the initial Series E Conversion Notice to be filed hereunder), the Intermediary will begin the Breakout Timer to start the initial Breakout and to track each successive 30 day period after the initial Breakout. As stated in Section 2.2.2 and 2.2.3, the following three conditions (collectively, the “Breakout Conditions”) shall govern the conditions under which the Intermediary shall disburse the Senior Purchase Price from the Company Cash Account:
Condition 1
After receipt of each relevant Series E Conversion Notice, the Common Shares shall be deposited in the Securities Accounts in free trading form prior to the initial and any subsequent Breakout.
1. Pricing; Protected Conversion Rate; Make-Good Provision
2. Volume Requirement
Condition 3 – Business Milestones:
1. Business Milestone Achievement
2. Use of Proceeds Adherence
3. Corporate Item Adherence
Once each Breakout passes the Breakout Conditions outlined above and detailed further in this Exhibit A, the Intermediary shall automatically follow those instructions listed in this Exhibit A, and as demonstrated in example form in the Example Disbursement Instructions attached hereto in Exhibit D, for the disbursement of the Senior Purchase Price, payment of the Fees, and the Uncovering of the relevant Securities.
PAGE OF [INSERT PAGE NUMBER]
A.2.1 Pricing; Protected Conversion Rate; Make-Good Provision
The Breakouts shall commence as provided in Section 2.1.9.5, and the “Protected Conversion Rate”6 shall apply for any Conversions in the event and to the extent that the Market Price is less than the “Minimum Conversion Price” provided for in the schedule of planned Breakouts shown here:
TABLE 1
PAGE OF [INSERT PAGE NUMBER]
The amount of the Senior Purchase Price scheduled to be released to the Working Account at each Breakout is specified in Table 1 in the column titled “Scheduled Breakout.” However, the amount of each Breakout shall be equal to no more than the product of 20% times the “Trailing Volume”7 times the then-current Market Price (the “Available Breakout”).8
Thus, for example, if the Trailing Volume is 1,000,000 shares and the then-current Market Price is $2.00 per share, then the Available Breakout would be $400,000 as follows:
(20%) x (Trailing Volume) x (Market Price) = Available Breakout
(20%) x (1,000,000) x ($2.00) = $400,000
|
|
A.2.2.1
|
Breakout Deficiency
|
|
|
In the event that the Available Breakout is less than the Scheduled Breakout (resulting in a “Breakout Deficiency”), the Company shall only be entitled to receive a disbursement of the Senior Purchase Price from the Company Cash Account equal to no more than the Available Breakout, subject to the use by the Company of the Draw Account as provided for in Section A.2.4 of this Exhibit A.
|
Thus, for example, if the Available Breakout in Month 1 is $400,000 and the Scheduled Breakout in Month 1 is $588,400, then the Breakout Deficiency to be drawn from the Draw Account would be $188,400 as follows:
(Scheduled Breakout) - (Available Breakout) = Breakout Deficiency
($588,400) - ($400,000) = $188,400
|
|
A.2.2.2
|
Breakout Surplus
|
In the event that the Available Breakout is greater than the Scheduled Breakout stated in Table 1 above for any particular month (resulting in a “Breakout Surplus”), then the Intermediary shall automatically release any such Breakout Surplus to the Working Account up to the amount of the Available Breakout.
Thus, for example, if the Available Breakout in Month 1 is $1,000,000 and the Scheduled Breakout in Month 1 is $588,400, then the Breakout Surplus released to the Working Account would be $411,600 as follows:
(Available Breakout) - (Scheduled Breakout) = Breakout Surplus
($1,000,000) - ($588,400) = $411,600
The impact of the Volume Requirement on Breakouts and funds disbursed is demonstrated in example form in the Example Disbursement Instructions attached hereto in Exhibit D
|
|
A.2.3
|
|
|
The Company is required to expend a minimum of $25,000 on a monthly basis on a program approved by the Senior Investors for public and investor relations (“Investor Outreach”). Any such program will be approved by the Senior Investors. The Company and/or the Senior Investors shall have the right to request that additional Senior Purchase Price proceeds be released, ahead of the Breakouts, for any such programs if the Volume Requirements above are not being met and Senior Purchase Price proceeds are being drawn against the Draw Account. The Senior Investors shall approve any request by the Company for any such additional proceeds for Investor Outreach. The Company shall ensure that such Investor Outreach complies with the requirements of the U.S. securities laws.
|
|
7
|
The “Trailing Volume” shall equal the average daily volume for the Common Shares during the 30 calendar days preceding each Breakout multiplied by the number of trading days during the 30 calendar days preceding each Breakout.
|
|
8
|
The “Available Breakout” shall equal the product of 20% times the Trailing Volume times the Market Price.
|
PAGE OF [INSERT PAGE NUMBER]
|
|
A.2.4
|
|
|
The Company and Catwalk Capital, LLC shall use their best efforts to close on the Draw Investment within no more than 120 days of the Company Closing Date. In the event that a Breakout Deficiency occurs as provided for in A.2.2.1 above (after the Closing of the Draw Investment), the Intermediary is instructed to draw an amount equal to the Breakout Deficiency (the “Eligible Draw”) from the Draw Account and transfer the Eligible Draw to the Working Account; provided, however, that in no event shall the Eligible Draw exceed ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) per month (the “Maximum Monthly Draw”).
|
|
|
A.2.4.1
|
Transfer Instructions with Breakout Deficiency
|
For so long as the Draw Account is less than $5,000,000, and in any month in which a Breakout Deficiency exists, the Intermediary shall (first) transfer an amount equal to 100% of any Available Breakout that may be available from the Company Cash Account to the Working Account, and then (second) transfer the relevant Eligible Draw from the Draw Account to the Working Account (up to the Maximum Monthly Draw ($1,000,000)).
|
|
A.2.4.2
|
Transfer Instructions with Breakout Surplus
|
In any month in which a Breakout Surplus (as defined in Section A.2.2.2 on the prior page) exists, the Intermediary shall (first) determine the gross funds to be disbursed (the sum of the Available Breakout and the Breakout Surplus, or the “Gross Funds”); (second) calculate and disburse from the Company Cash Account the Fees payable to Catwalk, the Lead Senior Investor and the Intermediary (the Gross Funds minus the Fees payable per Breakout shall be referred to herein as the “Net Funds”); (third), and for so long as the Draw Account is less than $5,000,000, disburse the Net Funds to the Working Account up to the Maximum Monthly Draw ($1,000,000), and then distribute the remaining Net Funds to the Draw Account until the availability on the Draw Account is $5,000,000, and thereafter disburse any remaining Net Funds to the Working Account.
The determination of the Gross Funds and disbursement of the Net Funds is demonstrated in example form in the “Example Disbursement Instructions” in Exhibit D.
|
|
A.2.4.2
|
The Draw Account shall be secured by a pledge of Common Shares (the “Draw Pledge Shares”) owned by Viridis. In the event that the Draw Account remains at less than 25% of its opening balance for three consecutive months, the Company shall be deemed to be in default of its investment agreements with the Draw Investors and the Intermediary shall be entitled to facilitate Conversion of the Draw Pledge Shares for the benefit of the Draw Investors and to apply 100% of the cash proceeds realized upon the sale of the Pledged Draw Shares to the replenishment of the Draw Account until the balance of the Draw Account is greater than 75% of its opening balance.

Upon the satisfaction of and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement for release of any Breakout from the Company Cash Account to the Working Account, the Intermediary shall disburse the “Net Funds”10 to the Working Account by wire transfer, for use by the Company at its sole discretion subject only to the UOP and Section A.4.2.
The Intermediary shall Uncover the Series E Shares, making them available for Conversion into Common Shares at the “Series E Conversion Rate,”11 on a pro rated basis either at the planned rate shown in the column titled “Series E Shares Uncovered” in Table 2 below, or at such other rate as may be provided for herein, upon each Breakout and Senior Purchase Price disbursement. The actual amount of Series E Shares to Uncover upon each Breakout shall be calculated by the Intermediary with the Breakout Calculator, which shall also automatically generate a conforming Series E Conversion Notice for each Breakout.
ABLE 1 – PLANNED RELEASE SCHEDULE OF SENIOR PURCHASE PRICE
The Intermediary is hereby instructed to execute Conversions according to the following steps until such time as the Company is DWAC eligible:
|
|
Step 1
|
At the Initial Breakout, file the initial Series E Conversion Notice (the “Initial Series E Conversion Notice”) for each relevant Senior Investor for 2,000,000 Common Shares (on a post-split basis) as follows (for each Senior Investor):
|
|
1.
|
Date: 3/15/10
|
|
2.
|
Breakout Number: 3
|
|
3.
|
Series E Shares to be converted: 200.00
|
|
4.
|
Face Value per Series E Share: $ 100,00
|
|
5.
|
Initial Conversion Price per Common Share (one-time only):$ 0.01
|
|
6.
|
Common Shares to be issued (Line 1 x Line 2 / Line 3) 2,000,000
|
|
|
Step 2
|
Deposit the 2,000,000 Common Shares received from the Company’s transfer agent pursuant to the Initial Series E Conversion Notice in each relevant Senior Investor’s Securities Account.
|
|
|
Step 3
|
File each relevant subsequent monthly Series E Conversion Notice as provided for herein (after confirming that each relevant Senior Investor will own less than 9.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares immediately after giving effect to each such Conversion).
|
|
|
Step 4
|
Deposit the new Certificated Common Shares received from the Company’s transfer agent pursuant to each new Series E Conversion Notice filed in Step 3 above in each relevant Senior Investor’s Securities Account to replenish the Senior Conversion Reserve for each Senior Investor, thus maintaining a balance of 2,000,000 Common Shares in the Senior Conversion Reserve for each Senior Investor.
|
The Intermediary is hereby instructed to execute Conversions according to the following steps after the Company has become DWAC eligible:
|
|
Step 1
|
File each relevant Series E Conversion Notice as provided for herein with the following additional written instruction: “Hold issuance and apply to reduction of Senior Conversion Reserve. Holding such issuance shall not affect the amount of funds to be released to the Working Account.” Each relevant Series E Conversion Notice shall be filed and transmitted to the Company as provided for in this Agreement regardless of whether or not the Senior Conversion Reserve is still in effect.
|
|
|
Step 2
|
If and when the Senior Conversion Reserve has been reduced to zero, the Intermediary shall file each following Series E Conversion Notice without the written instruction recited in Step 1 of this Section A.6.3.2 and as otherwise provided for in this Agreement.
|
|
9
|
The “Senior Conversion Reserve” is meant to provide the Senior Investors with a reserve of Common Shares to ease the logistics of filing Series E Conversion Notices and receiving and depositing Common Shares until such time as the Company has the ability to electronically issue (or, “DWAC”) Common Shares to the Senior Investors’ respective Securities Accounts. The Senior Conversion Reserve shall be filled with 2,000,000 Common Shares issuable upon filing of the Initial Series E Conversion Notice at the Initial Series E Conversion Rate, corresponding to no more than 4.00% of the then-current issued and outstanding Common Shares, issued in the name of each of the Senior Investors (for a total of 10,000,000 Common Shares) prior to the Initial Breakout.
|
|
10
|
The “Gross Funds” shall mean either (a), in the case of a Breakout Deficiency (or when the Available Breakout is less than the Scheduled Breakout), the sum of the Available Breakout and the Eligible Draw; and (b), in the case of a Breakout Surplus (or when the Available Breakout is more than the Scheduled Breakout), the sum of the Available Breakout and the Breakout Surplus. The “Net Funds” shall mean the difference between the Gross Funds less the Fees payable at any individual Breakout. The “Trailing Volume” shall equal the average daily volume for the Common Shares during the 30 calendar days preceding each Breakout multiplied by the number of trading days during the 30 calendar days preceding each Breakout. The “Available Breakout” shall equal the product of 20% times the Trailing Volume times the Market Price.
|
|
11
|
The “Series E Conversion Rate” is that rate at which the Series E Shares shall be convertible into Common Shares, which rate shall be equal to the number of Series E Shares to be converted times ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00) (the “Face Value”) per Series E Share, divided by the “Breakout Price” specified in the schedule provided in Table 1 of Exhibit A (the “Series E Conversion Rate”); provided, however, that if the Market Price for the Common Shares is LESS than the “Minimum Conversion Price” specified in the schedule provided in Exhibit H at the time of conversion, then the Series E Conversion Rate for the amount of Series E Shares to be converted that month shall be equal to SIXTY PERCENT (60%) of the Market Price (the “Protected Conversion Rate”).
|
Thus, for example, if in Month 1 the Market Price is $1.00 per Common Share (which is less than the Minimum Conversion Price as listed in Exhibit A), then the Protected Conversion Rate shall apply as shown here:
((Number of Series E Shares) x (Face Value)) ÷ (Market Price*0.60)) =
((10,000.00) x ($100.00)) ÷ ($0.60) = 1,666,667 Common Shares
If in Month 2 as shown in Table 1 of Exhibit A, the Market Price is $4.00 per Common Share (which is more than the Minimum Conversion Price as listed in Table 1 of Exhibit A), then the Breakout Price shall apply as shown here:
((Number of Series E Shares) x (Face Value)) ÷ (Breakout Price) =
((10,000.00) x ($100.00)) ÷ ($2.06) = 487,437 Common Shares
PAGE OF [INSERT PAGE NUMBER]
For example, if the Market Price and the Trailing Volume in Month 2 are $5.00 per Common Share and 1,000,000 Common Shares, respectively, then any Series E Conversion Notice to be filed at the beginning of Month 3 would call for the issuance of the amount of Common Shares shown here:
|
Step 1 Determine the Conversion Price
|
|
1. Date: 3/15/10
|
|
2. Breakout Number: 3
|
|
3. Scheduled Breakout: $ 588,400
|
|
4. Trailing Volume (number of Common Shares):12 1,000,000
|
|
5. Market Price (dollars per Common Share): $ 5.00
|
|
6. Breakout Price: $ 2.06
|
|
7. Minimum Conversion Price (Line 6 / 60%): $ 3.43
|
|
8. Is the Market Price greater than the applicable Minimum Conversion Price? Yes
|
|
If no, then the Protected Conversion Rate applies (Line 5 x 60%): N/A
|
|
If yes, then the Breakout Price applies (Line 6) $ 2.06
|
|
Step 2 Uncover the Series E Shares
|
|
9. Available Breakout (20% x Line 4 x Line 5):13 $1,000,000
|
|
10. Series E Shares to Uncover (Line 9 / $100.00): 10,000
|
|
Step 3 Convert into Common Shares
|
|
11. Common Shares to be issued (Line 9 / Line 8) 485,437
|
Note: a sample Series E Conversion Notice is attached hereto in Exhibit I.
The actual amount of Series E Shares to Uncover upon each Breakout can be calculated by the Intermediary with the Breakout Calculator, which shall also automatically generate a conforming Series E Conversion Notice for each Breakout.
12The “Trailing Volume” shall equal the average daily volume for the Common Shares during the 30 calendar days preceding each Breakout multiplied by the number of trading days during the 30 calendar days preceding each Breakout.

PROFORMA CAPITALIZATION TABLE

Minimum Ownership and Lock-Up
Viridis Capital, LLC (“Viridis”), the Company’s majority shareholder, and the Company’s management (collectively, “Management”) shall beneficially own in the aggregate no less than 51% of the outstanding Common Stock (the “Minimum Ownership”) until such time as the Senior Purchase Price has been fully released to the Company (the “Full Release Date”). Neither Viridis nor the Company’s management shall sell or otherwise transfer shares of Common Stock, either individually or in the aggregate, in an amount that would cause Management to beneficially own less than 51% of the outstanding Common Stock until the Full Release Date.
The Company and Management shall enter into an agreement pursuant to which the Management shall agree that all shares of Company stock held by Management in excess of 30% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation on a pro rated basis in the event that the Company shall have failed to achieve an annualized renewable fuel production rate of 500,000,000 gallons per year prior to one year after the Full Release Date (the “Performance Hurdle”).
The Company shall file and make effective an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to give effect to a 1,000 to 1 reverse stock split prior to the first Breakout. Thereafter, the Company shall have no less than about 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding on a post-split basis prior to Conversion of the Series E Shares and/or exercise of the Senior Warrants.
The following Table B1 is to provide the Company’s pro forma share structure on the assumptions (1) that no Senior Warrants have been exercised, (2) that all shares of Common Stock issued upon Conversion of the Series E Shares are issued at the scheduled Breakout Price (meaning that the Company’s targeted Common Stock values have been achieved as stated above in Table 1 in Exhibit A on Page 22 hereof), and (3) that Management’s ownership remains at 51% at the Full Release Date (meaning that the Performance Hurdle has been achieved):

The shares of Common Stock initially held by Management are subject to the conditions noted above, and are subject to upward modification to maintain the 51% Minimum Ownership requirement, and downward modification to 30% in the event that the Performance Hurdle is not met. Viridis and Corn 2.0, LLC, which companies are owned by the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer, collectively hold 637,500 shares of Company Series D Preferred Stock, which shares are convertible at all times into 51% of the outstanding Common Stock (when taken with each holder's then-current Common Stock holdings) until the Full Release Date.
|
|
(2)
|
The shares of Common Stock shown for the Senior Investors are estimated based on the assumed conversion of the Series E Shares at the Breakout Prices shown in Table 1 in Exhibit A on Page 22 hereof, which prices were established based on the assumption that the Company successfully achieves a weighted average Minimum Conversion Price of $5.49 (the “WA Price”) between the Initial Breakout and the Full Release Date. This WA Price corresponds to a Company market capitalization of about $316,600,000 and about $0.63 per gallon of renewable fuel produced at the 500,000,000 gallon per year Performance Hurdle. The shares of Common Stock issuable to the Senior Investors upon Conversion of the Series E Shares shall be subject to upward modification in the event that the Company fails to achieve the Minimum Conversion Prices set forth in Table 1 in Exhibit A on Page 22 hereof. For example, if the Common Stock trades at 25% less than the Minimum Conversion Prices, then the amount of Common Stock issuable to the Senior Investors upon Conversion of the Series E Shares would increase by 33%, or by about 7,759,132 additional shares of Common Stock; and, given the operation of the 51% Management Minimum Ownership requirement, the Pro Forma Common Shares at the Full Release Date in Table B1 above would then either (1) increase to 73,543,937 total shares of Common Stock outstanding if the Performance Hurdle is met, or (2) decrease to 51,480,756 if the Performance Hurdle is not met.
