ARTICLE III

TAXES AND YIELD PROTECTION

Section 3.01. Taxes. If any payments to the Bank under this Agreement are made from outside the United States, the Company will not deduct any foreign taxes from any payments it makes to the Bank. If any such taxes are imposed on any such payments made by the Company (including payments under this paragraph), the Company will pay the taxes and will also pay to the Bank, at the time interest is paid, any additional amount which the Bank specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Bank would have received if such taxes had not been imposed. The Company will confirm that it has paid the taxes by giving the Bank official tax receipts (or notarized copies) within thirty (30) days after the due date.

Section 3.02. Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Bank;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any taxes (other than on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto); or

(iii) impose on the Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, the Fee Letter or the Letter of Credit or any participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Bank of issuing or maintaining the Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Bank, the Company will pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If the Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting the Bank or the Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Bank’s capital or on the capital of the Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Fee Letter or the Letter of Credit issued by the Bank, to a level below that which the Bank or the Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Bank’s policies and the policies of the Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank or the Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

-13-

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay the Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate the Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that the Bank notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Mitigation Obligation. If the Bank requests compensation under this Section 3.02, or requires the Company to pay any additional amounts to pursuant to Section 3.01, then at the request of the Company the Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for booking the Obligations hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02 as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject the Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Bank. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 3.03. Survival. All of the Company’s obligations under this Article III shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the cancellation of the Letter of Credit and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee

601 Travis Street, 16^th Floor

Houston, Texas 77002

Attn: Kathlyn Shen

At the request and on the instructions of our customer, REG Geismar, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formerly known as Dynamic Fuels, LLC (the “Company”), to secure the obligations of the Company with respect to the Bonds (as hereinafter defined), Bank of America, N.A., (the “Bank”) hereby establishes in your favor, as Trustee under the Indenture of Trust (the “Trustee”), dated as of October 1, 2008 (the “Indenture”) between the Louisiana Public Facilities Authority (the “Issuer”) and you pursuant to which $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s Revenue Bonds (Dynamic Fuels, LLC Project) Series 2008 (the “Bonds”) have been issued, this Irrevocable Letter of Credit in the initial amount of $101,315,069 (hereinafter, as reduced from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof, the “Stated Amount”) of which (i) an amount not exceeding $100,000,000 (as reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, the “Principal Component”), may be drawn upon with respect to payment of the unpaid principal amount or the portion of Purchase Price corresponding to principal of the Bonds, and (ii) an amount not exceeding $1,315,069 (as reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, the “Interest Component”) may be drawn upon with respect to payment of interest accrued or the portion of Purchase Price corresponding to interest accrued on the Bonds on or prior to their stated maturity date, effective immediately and expiring on July 8, 2015, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions hereof or unless otherwise extended (in each case, the “Stated Expiration Date”). All drawings under this Letter of Credit will be paid with our own funds.

Funds under this Letter of Credit will be made available to you against receipt by us of the following items at the time required below: (a) if the drawing is being made with respect to the payment of the portion of the Purchase Price of Bonds delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 of the Indenture corresponding to the principal thereof (an “A Drawing”), receipt by us of your written certificate in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer; (b) if the drawing is being made with respect to the payment of principal of the Bonds (a “B Drawing”), receipt by us of your written certificate in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer; and (c) if the drawing is being made with respect to the payment of interest, or the

portion of Purchase Price corresponding to interest, on the Bonds (a “C Drawing”), receipt by us of your written certificate in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer. Presentation of such certificate(s) shall be made by facsimile to Bank of America, N.A., Scranton, at facsimile number (800) 755-8743, Attention: Standby Letter of Credit Department, without further need of documentation, including the original of this Letter of Credit, it being understood that each Payment Document so submitted is to be the sole operative instrument of drawing. You shall use your best efforts to give telephonic notice of a drawing to the Bank at its Standby Letter of Credit Department, at (800) 370-7519, OPT 1, on the Business Day preceding the day of such drawing (but such notice shall not be a condition to drawing hereunder and you shall have no liability for not doing so). “Business Day” means any day other than (a) a Saturday or Sunday, (b) a day on which the Trustee or the Bank is required or permitted by law to close and (c) a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed.

If a drawing is made by you hereunder at or prior to 12:30 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, and provided that the requirements set forth above have been strictly satisfied and that such drawing and the documents presented in connection therewith conform to the terms and conditions hereof, payment shall be made to you, of the amount specified in immediately available funds, (i) with respect to a C Drawing to pay interest on the Bonds which has accrued and is due and payable on a stated interest payment date, not later than 2:30 P.M., New York City time, on the next following Business Day or not later than 2:30 P.M., New York City time, on such later Business Day you may specify, or (ii) with respect to any other drawing, not later than 2:30 P.M., New York City time, on the same Business Day or not later than 2:30 P.M., New York City time, on such later Business Day as you may specify. Drawings received after 12:30 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day will be considered as presented at or prior to 12:30 P.M., New York City time, on the following Business Day. If requested by you, payment under this Letter of Credit will be made by wire transfer to you in immediately available funds or by deposit into a designated account that you maintain with us in accordance with your instructions. If a demand for payment made by you hereunder does not, in any instance, conform to the terms and conditions of this Letter of Credit, we shall give you prompt notice that the demand for payment was not effected in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Letter of Credit, stating the reasons therefor and that we will upon your instructions hold any documents at your disposal or return the same to you. Upon being notified that the demand for payment was not effected in conformity with this Letter of Credit, you may attempt to correct any such non-conforming demand for payment to the extent that you are entitled to do so.

Demands for payment hereunder honored by us shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the Stated Amount, as the Stated Amount may have been reinstated by us as provided in the next paragraph. Subject to the preceding sentence, each “A Drawing” and each “B Drawing” honored by the Bank hereunder shall pro tanto reduce the Principal Component, and each “C Drawing” honored by the Bank hereunder shall pro tanto reduce the Interest Component; any such reduction shall result in a corresponding reduction in the Stated Amount, it being understood that after the effectiveness of any such reduction you shall no longer have any right to make a drawing hereunder in respect of the amount of such principal and/or interest on the Bonds or the payment of Purchase Price corresponding thereto.

After payment by us of an A Drawing, in the event of the remarketing of Pledged Bonds (or portions thereof) previously purchased with the proceeds of an A Drawing, our obligation to

-2-

honor drawings hereunder shall be automatically reinstated concurrently upon receipt by the Bank of an amount equal to the Purchase Price of such Pledged Bonds (or portion thereof) plus accrued interest thereon as specified in a certificate in the form of Exhibit E hereto. In addition, (a) the Interest Component shall be reinstated automatically and immediately upon the honoring of a “C Drawing” by the amount of such drawing and (b) upon the remarketing of the Pledged Bonds, the Interest Component shall be reinstated automatically and immediately upon the Bank’s receipt of a certificate in the form of Exhibit E hereto by the amount referenced in paragraph 3 of such certificate as representing interest; provided, however, that in no event shall the Interest Component be reinstated to an amount in excess of 40 days’ interest (such amount computed as set forth in the second succeeding paragraph) on the then applicable Principal Component.

Only you or your successor as Trustee may make a drawing under this Letter of Credit. Upon the payment to you or to your account of the amount demanded hereunder, we shall be fully discharged on our obligation under this Letter of Credit with respect to such demand for payment and we shall not thereafter be obligated to make any further payments under this Letter of Credit in respect of such demand for payment to you or any other person who may have made to you or makes to you a demand for payment of principal of, Purchase Price of, or interest on, any Bond. By paying to you an amount demanded in accordance herewith, we make no representation as to the correctness of the amount demanded.

This Letter of Credit applies only to the payment of principal or the portion of Purchase Price of the Bonds corresponding to principal, and up to 40 days’ interest accruing on the Bonds (computed at a rate of 12% per annum on the basis of actual days elapsed in a 365-day year). Drawings under this Letter of Credit shall apply only to the payment of principal, or the Purchase Price corresponding to principal, and accrued interest on Bonds which are accruing interest at the Daily Rate or Weekly Rate under the Indenture.

Upon the earliest of (a) the honoring by us of the final drawing available to be made hereunder, (b) our receipt of a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of the Trustee stating that the conditions precedent to the acceptance of a Substitute Credit Facility (as defined in the Indenture) have been satisfied and that the Trustee has accepted the Substitute Credit Facility, and setting forth the effective date of said Substitute Credit Facility, (c) our receipt of a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of the Trustee stating that no Bonds remain outstanding, (d) 2 Business Days following the first day of the first Commercial Paper Period or the first Long Term Period under the Indenture (each a “Tender Conversion Date”), the occurrence of which Tender Conversion Date is certified to us in a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of the Trustee, (e) 15 days (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) following receipt by the Trustee of a written notice from the Bank of the occurrence of an event of default under the Reimbursement Agreement dated as of July 8, 2014, between the Company and the Bank, and (f) the Stated Expiration Date, this Letter of Credit shall automatically terminate; provided, however, that in connection with the termination event described in clause (b), above, this Letter of Credit shall automatically terminate on the second Business Day following the effective date of the Substitute Credit Facility and the honoring by us of the related drawing hereunder pertaining to the payment of the Purchase Price of the Bonds tendered for purchase on the Mandatory Purchase Date corresponding to the delivery of the Substitute Credit Facility.
