This Amendment (the “Amendment”) is made
as of this 16th day of

2007 (the “Employment
Agreement”), by and between Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc., a Utah

collectively with the Company, the “Parties”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Section 1.3 of the Employment Agreement currently provides for an
employment term expiring on September 30, 2010; and
WHEREAS, the parties
desire to amend the Employment Agreement to, among other things, extend the term
thereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Term of Employment
Agreement. Section 1.3 of the Employment Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“1.3. Term. Unless
otherwise terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, Executive’s employment with the Company shall commence on the
Effective Date, and end on September 30, 2012 (the “Term”); provided, however, that the
Term shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods thereafter
on the same terms and conditions set forth herein unless either Party provides
the other with written notice of its intention not to renew the Term at least
ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current term.”
2. Renewal
Option. Concurrently with the execution of this Amendment, the
Company shall grant Executive an option (the “Renewal Option”) to
purchase 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of
$0.02 per share. The Renewal Option shall vest according to the
schedule set forth below, and will expire ten (10) years after the date of
grant:
2.1. At
such time as when the Company’s Market Capitalization first reaches $30 million,
the Renewal Option shall vest with respect to initial 6,000,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock subject thereunder; and
2.2. At
such time as when the Company’s Market Capitalization first reaches or exceeds
$60 million, the Renewal Option shall vest with respect to the remaining
6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock subject thereunder.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Market
Capitalization” shall mean the product of the (x) the number of shares of
common stock issued and outstanding at the time Market Capitalization is
calculated, multiplied by (y) the average closing price of the common stock for
the twenty (20) consecutive trading days prior to the date of calculation of
Market Capitalization as reported on the principal securities trading system on
