| ● | HSR Act Requirements. The requirement that XCF Global obtain clearance under the HSR Act and that such Required Regulatory Approval shall have been made was deleted. |

The “Shortfall Amount” shall mean the amount by which $ 4,627,000 exceeds the sum of (x) any amounts set forth on Schedule 5.3 to the Amendment that XCF Global reasonably determines were not invested into Southern Energy prior to the date of the Amendment and (y) any amounts set forth on such Schedule 5.3 that were so invested into Southern Energy but that XCF Global reasonably determines were not utilized by Southern Energy appropriately.

ARTICLE V
GL INVESTMENT CONDITION; POST-CLOSING FUNDING COVENANT
5.1 Concurrent Closing Condition.
As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment and as a condition to the obligation of each Party to consummate the Transactions, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, the Company shall close the GL Investment.
5.2 Evidence of GL Investment Closing.
The Company shall deliver to each other Party, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Party that the GL Investment Closing has occurred, including (a) a copy of the executed warrant agreement or subscription agreement between the Company and GL evidencing the GL Investment and (b) evidence of the receipt by the Company of the GL Investment proceeds in the amount of $1,000,000.
5.3 Post-Closing Commitments.
From and after the Closing until the date that is three (3) months following the Closing Date (in the case of clause (x) below) and twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (in the case of clause (y) below) (as applicable, the “Funding Period”), each of EEME and GL shall (x) fund, or cause to be funded, to the Company cash proceeds in an aggregate amount of not less than $4,373,0001 plus the Shortfall Amount (as defined below) and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to fund, or cause to be funded, to the Company cash proceeds in an additional aggregate amount of not less than $50,000,000, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y) whether funded by EEME, GL or a combination thereof and whether through the Company’s warrant program or through any other financing arrangement mutually agreed between EEME or GL, as applicable, and the Company ((x) and (y) together, the “Funding Commitment”). For the avoidance of doubt, (a) no amount funded by EEME or GL to the Company at or prior to the Closing, including any amount funded as Plant Conversion Funding pursuant to Section 8.18 of the Agreement or the Term Sheet, shall be credited against or otherwise reduce the Funding Commitment, (b) any amounts funded by EEME and/or GL to the Company following the Closing pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be aggregated for purposes of determining satisfaction of the Funding Commitment, and (c) the Funding Commitment is a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment or to the obligation of any Party to consummate the Transactions. Notwithstanding Section 9.1 of the Agreement, the obligations of EEME and GL under this Section 5.3 shall survive the Closing and shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the funding of the applicable funding amount in the aggregate pursuant to this Section 5.3(x) or (y), as applicable, and (ii) the expiration of the applicable Funding Period (in the case of the Funding Commitment) or as described in Schedule 5.3(b) (in the case of the Additional Commitment (as defined below)). The “Shortfall Amount” shall mean the amount by which $4,627,000 exceeds the sum of (m) any amounts set forth on Schedule 5.3(a) that the Company reasonably determines were not invested by EEME into Southern prior to the date of this Amendment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, amounts invested prior to the date of the Agreement) and (n) any amounts set forth on Schedule 5.3(a) that were so invested into Southern but that the Company reasonably determines were not utilized by Southern in the manner described in Schedule 5.3(a). In addition, EEME and GL have agreed to the additional post-Closing commitment (the “Additional Commitment”) described in Schedule 5.3(b).
| 1 | The amount represents $10,000,000 less the $1,000,000 funded on the date of this Amendment less the aggregate $4,627,000 of deployed funding amounts set forth on Schedule 5.3(a). |
