On February 2, 2022, the Company entered into the Initial ProFrac Agreement, upon issuance of $10 million in aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes (the “Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable”) to ProFrac Holdings LLC (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable”). Under the Initial ProFrac Agreement, ProFrac Services, LLC is obligated to order chemicals from the Company at least equal to the greater of (a) the chemicals required for 33% of ProFrac Services, LLC’s hydraulic fracturing fleets and (b) a baseline measured by the first ten hydraulic fracturing fleets deployed by ProFrac Services, LLC during the term of the Initial ProFrac Agreement. If the minimum volumes are not achieved in any given year, ProFrac Services LLC shall pay to the Company, as liquidated damages an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the difference between (i) the aggregate purchase price of the quantity of products comprising the minimum purchase obligation and (ii) the actual purchased volume during such calendar year (“Contract Shortfall Fees”).

On May 17, 2022, the Company entered into the Amended ProFrac Agreement upon issuance of $50 million in aggregate principal amount of Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable”). The Initial ProFrac Agreement was amended to (a) increase ProFrac Services LLC’s minimum purchase obligation for each year to the greater of 70% of ProFrac Services LLC’s requirements and a baseline measured by ProFrac Services, LLC’s first 30 hydraulic fracturing fleets, and (b) increase the term to 10 years.

On February 2, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the ProFrac Agreement (the “Amended ProFrac Agreement No. 2”). The Amended ProFrac Agreement No. 2 has an effective date of January 1, 2023. The ProFrac Agreement was amended to (1) provide a ramp-up period from January 1, 2023 to May 31, 2023 for ProFrac Services, LLC to increase the number of active hydraulic fracturing fleets to 30 fleets, (2) waive any Contract Shortfall Fee payment relating to any potential order shortfall prior to January 1, 2023, (3) add additional fees to certain products, and (4) provide margin increases based on margins with non-ProFrac customers.

The current measurement period for Contract Shortfall Fees is June 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The Company does not expect that the minimum purchase requirements will be met during the current measurement period, and as a result, the revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 reflect expected Contract Shortfall Fee payments.
