Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct
Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
On September 28, 2012, BFE Operating Company,
LLC, Buffalo Lake Energy, LLC and Pioneer Trail Energy, LLC, which are subsidiaries of BioFuel Energy Corp. (the "Company")
received a Notice of Default (the "Notice"), under the Credit Agreement dated as of September 25, 2006 (as amended,

Energy, LLC, and Pioneer Trail Energy, LLC (collectively, as "Borrowers"), BFE Operating Company, LLC as Borrowers'
Agent, the Lenders party thereto, First National Bank of Omaha, as Administrative Agent, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas,
as Collateral Agent.
The Borrowers failed to make the regularly-scheduled
payments of principal and interest, in an aggregate amount of $3.6 million, that were due on the outstanding Term Loans under the
Credit Agreement on September 28, 2012. The Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, has had, and intends to continue to have, discussions
with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders regarding the terms of a potential forbearance, reinstatement and/or restructuring
of the Term Loans. As of September 28, 2012, there was an aggregate principal amount of $170.5 million outstanding under the Term
Loans.
The above description is only a summary
of the assertions made by the Administrative Agent in the Notice and the potential consequences and remedies under the Credit Agreement,
and does not purport to be complete. You are advised to refer to the actual Notice, which is attached to this report as Exhibit
99.1 and incorporated by reference herein, and to the terms of the Credit Agreement, which has been filed with the SEC as Exhibit
10.2 to the Company's Amendment #1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 (file no. 333-139203) on January 24, 2007, for the
full details of the terms thereof.
An Event of Default under the Credit Agreement
also constitutes an Event of Default under the Lease Agreements (the "Leases") dated as of October 5, 2011, by and
between each of Buffalo Lake Energy, LLC and Pioneer Trail Energy, LLC, respectively, and Farnam Street Financial, Inc . ("Farnam").
The Company has informed Farnam of its receipt of the Notice under the Credit Agreement.
