Item
1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement
On August
27, 2010, New Generation Biofuels Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (the
“Company”) and Pennington Partners, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company
(the “Landlord”) entered into an amendment to the parties’ lease agreement (the
“Amendment”) for the Company’s biofuel production facility in
Baltimore. The original lease agreement was entered into by the
parties effective September 12, 2008.
Pursuant
to the Amendment, the Company made a cash payment of $290,000 and also issued
300,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock to the
Landlord. The Amendment provides that, in consideration of the
payment, the Landlord agrees to forfeit past due amounts under the lease
agreement, terminate and forfeit minimum payments due for terminaling services
under a separate agreement with an affiliate of the Landlord, and reduce the
monthly lease rate to $25,000 for the remaining three year lease
term. Included in the $290,000 payment is $100,000 representing the
August reduced lease payment and prepayment of the monthly $25,000 rent for the
September through November 2010 period.
A copy of
the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
is incorporated herein by reference.
Item
1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August
27, 2010 and in connection with the execution of the Amendment, the Company

“Termination Agreement”). The Termination Agreement provides that the
Terminaling Services Agreement dated September 12, 2008 by and between the
Company and Atlantic Terminaling Services, LLC, an affiliate of the Landlord,
will automatically terminate as of August 27, 2010. There were no
early termination penalties incurred by either party as a result of the

Agreement is attached as Exhibit A to the Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on
Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
