Also as previously disclosed, in March 2022 and August 2022, the Company, along
with certain subsidiaries of the Company and Cargill Financial, entered into

On December 30, 2022, the Company, along with certain subsidiaries of the

and principal payments and certain other payments under the Credit Agreements
from the last Business Day of the applicable quarter to the first Business Day
of the subsequent quarter; (iii) allows for the payment in kind of the quarterly
interest payment due and payable for the quarter ending December 31, 2022; and
(iv) implements a capital expenditures covenant which limits capital
expenditures to existing projects and restricts aggregate capital expenditures
for existing projects in excess of amounts set forth in the applicable
construction budget to $1,000,000 in any fiscal year. The aggregate amount of
outstanding loans and undrawn commitments under the Credit Agreements remains at
$170.0 million (plus interest paid in kind).
On January 6, 2023, the Company, along with certain subsidiaries of the Company,
entered into a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreements (the "Fourth Amendment")
with Cargill Financial to further amend the Credit Agreements, as amended by the
Third Amendment. The Fourth Amendment reduces the minimum liquidity covenant in
each of the Credit Agreements from $20.0 million to $11.0 million (or
