NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the Guaranty and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged by LE, the Parties agree as
follows:

 

1.             Payment
of Fee.  LE shall pay
Guarantor or assignee a fee in an amount equal to two percent
(2.00%) per annum, paid monthly, of the outstanding principal
balance owed under the Loan Agreement (the
“Guaranty
Fee Basis”). Amounts
payable to Guarantor as the Guaranty Fee shall be paid in cash and
shares of Blue Dolphin Energy Company common stock, par value $0.01
per share (the “Common Stock”) at the end of each
calendar month. The initial payment under this Amended Agreement
shall be 100% in Common Stock. Thereafter, payments shall be 50% in
cash and 50% in Common Stock. For the second payment and each
payment thereafter, the number of shares of Common Stock issued
shall be determined by dividing the Guaranty Fee by 50% (the
“Share
Basis Amount”). The Share
Basis Amount shall then be divided by the preceding 30-day average
closing price of the Common Stock. This 30-day average closing
price shall be the cost basis for the issued shares, and the issued
shares shall be restricted pursuant to applicable securities
holding periods for affiliates.

 

2.             Governing
Law.  This Agreement shall
be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Texas without reference to any conflict of law
provision.

 

3.             Counterparts. 
This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, including
counterparts transmitted by facsimile, each of which will be deemed
an original, but both of which together will constitute one and the
same instrument.
