(e) Annex I (Commitments) to the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.

3. Amendment No. 5 Fees.

(a) As consideration for the amendments to the Credit Agreement agreed pursuant to Section 2 and the other waivers and forbearances provided by the Lenders on and before the Sixth Amendment Effective Date and as consideration for the waivers provided under the Holdco Credit Agreement by the Lenders or Affiliates thereof on or prior the date hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay to each Lender an amendment and consent premium in the form of warrants to obtain the shares of common equity as set forth in Exhibit B hereto, on the terms, and strike prices, set forth in Exhibit C (the “GCEH Warrants”), which GCEH Warrants shall be payable to each Lender (or its designated Affiliate) in the amounts set forth on Exhibit B hereto (the “Amendment & Consent Premium”). The Amendment & Consent Premium shall be due, earned and payable on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that issuance of the GCEH Warrants to such Lender satisfies the obligation of the Borrower to pay both (x) the Amendment & Consent Premium (as defined in Section 3 of Amendment No. 5 to the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2021) and (y) the Waiver Premium (as defined in Section 3 of Amendment No. 3 to the Holdco Credit Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2021).

(b) The Borrower hereby agrees that the Amendment & Consent Premium shall be paid without set-off, deduction or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without deduction by reason of, any taxes.

(c) 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 Credit Agreement or otherwise.

(d) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Amendment & 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)). Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees to file tax returns consistent with such treatment.

(e) Borrower shall cause GCEH to file a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not available for use by GCEH, Form S-1 (or any successor form or other appropriate form promulgated under the Securities Act) for an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, as soon as practicable after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exxon MOU, but in no event later than May 31, 2022, which registration statement shall include all shares of GCEH Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the GCEH Warrants, and shall cause GCEH to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain effectiveness thereafter.

FORM OF GCEH WARRANT

GCEH Warrants Term Sheet

Issuer	Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (“GCEH”)
Warrants	The Lender Equity Recipient upon the earlier of (i) ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (“Exxon”) funding $125,000,000 on the terms specified in Section 3 and Schedule I of the Memorandum of Understanding, dated as of December 20, 2022, by and among Exxon, GCEH and Borrower (the “Exxon MOU”) and (ii) February 1, 2022, the Lender Equity Recipient shall be issued warrants to acquire shares of GCEH’s Common Stock equal to 11% (on a non-diluted basis with a share count of 40,592,168) of the issued and outstanding shares of GCEH’s Common Stock as of the date such warrants are issued (or 25% (on a non-diluted basis with a share count of 40,592,168) of the issued and outstanding shares of GCEH’s Common Stock on such date, if, before February 1, 2022, Exxon has not funded $125,000,000 on the terms specified in Section 3 and Schedule I of the Exxon MOU) (the “GCEH Warrants”). All such GCEH Warrants shall be issued to each Lender Equity Recipient in the percentages as set forth on Exhibit B.
Exercise Price and Mechanics	The GCEH Warrants shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, either upon payment of the exercise price in cash, or by cashless exercise, at the option of the Lender Equity Recipients. The exercise price will be the lower of (i) fifty percent (50%) of the volume weighted average price per share during the preceding sixty (60) days prior to the Issue Date and (ii) $2.25 per share of GCEH Common Stock issuable pursuant to the GCEH Warrants.
Exercise Period	The GCEH Warrants shall be exercisable from and after the date the GCEH Warrants are issued (the “Issue Date”), until the date that is sixty (60) days after the date on which the entire outstanding principal amount of the Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), together with all unpaid interest, fees, charges and costs, shall have been paid in full.
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) and customary antidilution protections.

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; provided that, the amount of such dividends or other distributions shall first be retained by GCEH and counted towards and serve to reduce the exercise price with respect to the GCEH Warrants until such exercise price has been reduced to $0.01 and thereafter shall be paid to the Lender Equity Recipients directly.
Transferability of Warrants	Freely transferable, subject to applicable securities laws.
Limitations on Exercise	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless all Lender Equity Recipients together with any other “attribution parties” file any SEC reports required as a result of such parties collectively beneficially owning in the aggregate in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock of GCEH outstanding, the GCEH Warrants shall not be exercisable by a Lender Equity Recipient if such Lender Equity Recipients together with any other “attribution parties” collectively would beneficially own in the aggregate in excess of 4.99% (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 the Company, a Lender Equity Recipient 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 (61^st) day after such written notice is delivered to the Company.
Registration Rights	If at any time GCEH shall determine to (x) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement for the sale of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company, or (y) sell shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company in an underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not available for use by GCEH, Form S-1 (or any successor form or other appropriate form promulgated under the Securities Act) for an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, in each case, either for its own account or for the account of other holders of equity securities in GCEH, GCEH shall (i) promptly, but no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement (in the case of clause (x) above) or such sale (in the case of clause (y) above), give to each Lender Equity Recipient written notice thereof and (ii) subject to customary limitations (including, without limitation, underwriter cutbacks) and receipt of customary information, representations and undertakings, include in such registration statement or sale, as applicable, all warrant shares specified in a written request or requests, made by the Lender Equity Recipients.

GCEH shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not available for use by GCEH, Form S-1 (or any successor form or other appropriate form promulgated under the Securities Act) for an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, as soon as practicable after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exxon MOU, but in no event later than May 31, 2022, which registration statement shall include all shares of GCEH Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the GCEH Warrants, (ii) obtain effectiveness thereafter and (iii) maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement at all times following the effective date of such registration statement until the earlier of (x) five years from the date on which such registration statement becomes effective; and (y) the date on which all shares of GCEH Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the GCEH Warrants are sold. Any failure to cause such filing in accordance with the foregoing shall be subject to the remedies set forth in the definitive documents.

At any time after the shelf registration statement is effective, the Lender Equity Recipients will be entitled to request up to three (3) demands for underwritten registered offerings, subject to customary limitations (including, without limitation, underwriter cutbacks); provided, that the aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of securities requested to be included in each demand registration equals or exceeds $25,000,000.

Other Terms of GCEH Warrants

The GCEH Warrants shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion.
