THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of March 31, 2014 by and among KIOR, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), certain of Parent’s subsidiaries (collectively with Parent, “Grantors”), Khosla Ventures III LP, as Agent, and the purchasers party to the 2013 Purchase Agreement (defined below).

RECITALS

A. Parent, Agent and the purchasers party thereto are parties to that certain Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement dated as of October 18, 2013 (as amended, supplemented, restated, supplemented replaced or refinanced from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), providing for the incurrence of indebtedness by Parent to the “Purchasers” party thereto and defined therein.

B. Parent, Agent and the purchasers party thereto are parties to that certain Senior Secured Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as amended, supplemented, restated, supplemented replaced or refinanced from time to time, the “2014 Purchase Agreement”), providing for the incurrence of up to an additional $25 million in senior secured indebtedness by Parent to the “Purchasers” party thereto and defined therein.

C. The Parent has requested that the purchasers party to the Purchase Agreement consent to the indebtedness and liens under the 2014 Purchase Agreement and consent to and waive certain other matters.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Unless otherwise indicated herein, words and terms that are defined in the Purchase Agreement shall have the same meaning where used in this Amendment.

2. Amendment of Purchase Agreement.

a. The definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” in the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof “; and (xii) Indebtedness under the 2014 Purchase Agreement and the documents, instruments and agreements in connection therewith.”

b. The definition of “Permitted Liens” in the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof “; and (xxii) Liens securing Indebtedness under the 2014 Purchase Agreement and the documents, instruments and agreements in connection therewith.”
