ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

Amendment to the Promissory Notes

On August 30, 2012, PEDEVCO Corp. (the “Company”) entered into the Third Amendment to Senior Secured Promissory Notes (First and Second Tranche) with Centurion Credit Funding, LLC (the “Lender”) (the “Third Amendment to the Promissory Notes”), which amended certain provisions of the Senior Secured Promissory Note (First Tranche) and Senior Secured Promissory Note (Second Tranche) previously entered into with the Lender, each dated February 24, 2011, as previously amended on January 13, 2012 and  May 29, 2012 (together, as amended, the “Promissory Notes”), and as reported on the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on March 2, 2011, January 20, 2012, and May 31, 2012.

The Promissory Notes were amended to provide an extension of the maturity date of such Promissory Notes, which were due as of August 1, 2012, to the earlier of (i) November 30, 2012, or (ii) the date all obligations and indebtedness under such Promissory Notes are accelerated in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Promissory Notes.  Furthermore, the Company agreed to deposit an additional $700,000 as a “repayment deposit”  into the Company’s bank account that is subject to a deposit account control agreement (the “DACA”) entered into by and between the Company and the Lender in order to provide additional security to the Lender for the debt obligations underlying the Promissory Notes, with the DACA being revised to provide that the Lender may not have access to such funds until the maturity date of such Promissory Notes, unless a default or event of default under the Promissory Notes have occurred.  Additionally, the Third Amendment to the Promissory Notes removed the prior prohibition which limited the Lender to converting the Promissory Notes only once every thirty days.

The foregoing description of the Third Amendment to Promissory Notes  is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the document which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
