EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
 
This Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of this 18th day of April, 2008 by and among Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc., a Utah corporation (the "Company"), and Mercator Momentum Fund, L.P., Mercator Momentum Fund III, L.P., and Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd. (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”).
 
WHEREAS:
 
A.  The Company currently has issued and outstanding a total of 28,927 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”).
 
B.  All of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are owned by the Holders. The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each Holder is set forth on the signature page of this Agreement under each Holder’s signature.
 
C.  The Company has requested that the Holders convert all of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of its no par value common stock (the “Common Stock”), and the Holders are willing to convert all shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Company.
 
D.  The Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred (the “Certificate”) limits the number of shares that the Holders can, collectively, own to 9.99% of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding, which limitation prevents the conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
 
E.  Instead of converting the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company and the Holders are willing to exchange all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for newly issued shares, all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
 
F.  As of the date of this Agreement, the Market Price, as defined in the Certificate, of the Company’s Common Stock is $0.07925, and the Conversion Price of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock therefore is $0.067 (85% of the Market Price). Notwithstanding the lower conversion price, the Holders are willing to exchange their shares of Series A Preferred Stock at $0.10 per share.
 
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, covenants and obligations contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Holders hereby agree as follows:
 
1.
EXCHANGE AND CANCELLATION OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK FOR COMMON STOCK.
 
(a)  Exchange of Series A Preferred Stock for Common Stock. Each Holder hereby agrees to exchange all of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock for shares of newly issued shares of Common Stock, and the Company hereby agrees to issue to the Holders shares of Common Stock in exchange for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued for each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be determined by dividing the “Series A Purchase Price” (as defined in the Certificate, which price is $100.00) by $0.10. Accordingly, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is hereby exchanged for 1,000 shares of Common Stock.
