Exhibit 10.11

FIRST AMENDMENT

TO THE

BKV CORPORATION

2020 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
(ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON JULY 16, 2020)

This First Amendment (this “Amendment”) to the BKV Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) is made by BKV Corporation (the “Company”) this 5^th day of November, 2021.

WHEREAS, the Company wishes, for accounting purposes, to treat the sale of shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the Plan as equity rather than debt, which requires that (i) Participants not be able to exercise their put or tender rights under the Plan for at least 181 days following the date on which such shares were acquired (the “Holding Period”), (ii) the Company may not exercise its right to purchase shares of Common Stock from Participants (and beneficiaries) prior to the end of the Holding Period, and (iii) a fair market value determination made quarterly to the extent necessary to affect transactions during the year; and

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to amend the Plan (i) to impose the requirement that a Participant (or beneficiary following the Participant’s death) may not exercise their right to put or tender for repurchase any shares acquired by such Participant under the Plan prior to the end of the Holding Period, (ii) to require a fair market value determination made quarterly to the extent necessary to affect transactions occurring during the year, and (iii) to prohibit the Company from exercising its right to purchase from the Participant (or beneficiary) shares acquired by such Participant (or beneficiary) prior to the date that is 181 days following the date the Participant became vested in the right to receive a share of the Company’s Common Stock; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to expand the Plan’s eligibility requirements on a prospective basis to include non-employee directors of the Company’s Board and employees of BANPU North America Corporation so that they may be given the opportunity to purchase Common Stock under the Plan in the same manner as Eligible Employees currently enjoy, subject to approval of the Company’s stockholders as required by Section 8.7 of the Plan.

NOW THEREFORE, the Plan is amended as follows:

Changes to Ensure Equity Treatment for Accounting Purposes

1.            Section 2.9 of the Plan regarding the definition of “Fair Market Value” is amended and restated effective as of the 5^th day of November, 2021 to read as follows:

2.9            Fair Market Value. “ Fair Market Value” means, with respect to the Common Stock, as of any date: (a) the closing sale price of the Common Stock as of such date at the end of the regular trading session, as reported on any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed (or, if no shares were traded on such date, as of the next preceding date on which there was such a trade); or (b) if the Common Stock is not so listed as described in above, the price, on a per share of the Common Stock basis, at which a willing seller would sell, and a willing buyer would buy, the Common Stock having full knowledge of all relevant facts, in an arm’s length transaction without taking into account the minority ownership interest of any shares of the Common Stock and the rights associated with any minority ownership interest hereunder. For all purposes under this Plan (including as to taxation), the fair market value of the Common Stock as described in (b) above shall be determined quarterly, if needed for transaction occurring during the Financial Year, by the Committee using the independent and impartial valuation of the Common Stock performed, on an annual basis, by Guggenheim Securities, LLC, with interim valuations based on the methodologies established in such annual Guggenheim Securities, LLC valuation prepared by the Company or a third party with valuation expertise. The annual valuation may be performed by an independent and impartial appraiser approved by the Board other than Guggenheim Securities, LLC if its fees are not at competitive market rates (as determined by the Board based upon evidence of fees charged by other United States investment banking firms for the same services).

6.6            Holding Period.

(a)  A Participant (or beneficiary following the Participant’s death) who acquired shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the Plan may not exercise their right to put such shares of Common Stock to the Company for repurchase under Section 6.1 prior to the date that is 181 days following the date the Participant acquired such shares.

(b)  The Company may not exercise its right to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock from a Participant (or beneficiary following the Participant’s death) under Section 6.2 prior to the date that is 181 days following the date the Participant acquired such shares.

4.            Section 2 of the Plan is amended to add a new Section 2.6A Eligible Recipients immediately after the definition of “Eligible Employee” at Section 2.6:

The Committee shall require the payment by the Participant of a specified purchase price in connection with a grant of the right to purchase shares of Common Stock

10.            Section 8.2 of the Plan is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

8.2            Employment. Nothing in the Plan confers upon any Eligible Recipient or Participant any right to future or continued employment with the Company or infers with or limits in any way the right of the Company to terminate the employment of any Eligible Employee or Participant at any time, with or without notice and with or without cause, subject to the terms of such Employee’s employment agreement or service contract, if any.

11.            Sections 1.1, 7.2, and 8.7 of the Plan are amended by striking the term “Eligible Employee” or “Eligible Employees” and inserting “Eligible Recipient(s)” in each place such phrase occurs in such sections.

12.            The changes made by the foregoing Items 3 through 11 of this Amendment are conditioned on and subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders as required by Section 8.7 of the Plan.
