W I T N E S S E T H

In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the Subscriber hereby agrees, represents and warrants as follows:

1. Agreement of Subscription.

a. Subscriber hereby subscribes for the purchase of membership interests of the Company quantified by the number of units (the “Units”) indicated below, at a purchase price of $1.20 per Unit, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement:

600,000		Number of Units

$	720,000	Total Purchase Price (number of Units multiplied by $1.20 per Unit)

b. Subscriber agrees to pay the total purchase price of the Units pursuant to the payment terms of the fully-executed promissory note dated of even date herewith in principal amount of $720,000 and delivered to the Company herewith (the “Promissory Note”). Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that 100% of Subscriber’s purchase price of the Units and all payments made thereon constitute “at-risk” capital, and will not be placed into any type of escrow. Subscriber understands that this Subscription agreement is subject to acceptance by the Company. Upon acceptance by the Company, Subscriber further agrees that this Subscription Agreement and the Promissory Note delivered herewith each is irrevocable and binding upon Subscriber, and the payment obligations pursuant to the payment terms of the Promissory Note are unconditional. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Subscription Agreement and the payment obligations under the Promissory Note are contingent upon the consent and approval of a majority in interest of the Company’s members to the purchase of the Units hereunder, which consent is required by and shall be sought pursuant to the Company’s operating agreement dated October 28, 2004, as amended (the “Operating Agreement”). Such consent and approval was obtained at a duly held meeting of the Company’s members held on November 22, 2005.

c. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company has not established a minimum number of units that must be sold in conjunction with the Company’s second round seed capital offering and that the

ETHANOL GRAIN PROCESSORS, LLC	SECOND ROUND SEED CAPITAL
	SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Company may accept subscriptions for, and complete sales of, any number of units in its second round seed capital offering.

d. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that 100% of Subscriber’s purchase price of the Units constitutes “at-risk” capital, and will not be placed into any type of escrow. Immediately following tender of the payment(s) for the Units, the Company will use such funds to pay for a portion of organizational, start-up, and development costs associated with the Company’s ethanol project in Northwest Tennessee, as further described in the Feasibility Report and Memorandum (as defined below).

e. Subscriber and the Company agree that, upon acceptance of this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber will become a “Member” of the Company, which membership shall be subject to the Company’s Articles of Organization and the Operating Agreement. No certificates will be issued for the Units unless and until the Company accepts this Subscription Agreement and Subscriber pays the entire Principal Balance of the Promissory Note and all other amounts due and owing under the Promissory Note to the Company, at the times and as provided for therein.

2. Representations and Warranties of Subscriber.

In consideration of the Company’s offer to sell the Units, Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Company and its agents as follows:

a. Information About the Ethanol Project. Subscriber, or its representative(s), has received, read and understands the Company’s ethanol feasibility study dated September, 2004 prepared by PRX Geographic and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Consulting Services regarding the feasibility of a large-scale dry-mill ethanol production facility to be located near Obion, Tennessee and all Exhibits and Appendices thereto (the “Feasibility Report”). Subscriber, or its representative, has had an opportunity to obtain, and has received, any additional information regarding the Company or its ethanol project under development, and has had an opportunity to ask such questions of, and receive answers from, the Company or an agent or representative of the Company, to the extent deemed necessary by the Subscriber in order to form a decision concerning an investment in the Company and the ethanol project the Company is seeking to develop. As a result, Subscriber believes it has sufficient knowledge about the business, management and financial affairs of the Company, the ethanol project and the proposed ethanol plant, and the terms and conditions of the purchase of Units contemplated hereby.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber understands that the Company was recently organized, is a development stage company with no financial or operating history, and will require approximately $60 million of additional equity (pursuant to subsequent offerings of membership interests quantified by units) and approximately $90 million of debt financing in order to reach financial closing on the ethanol project or begin construction of the proposed ethanol plant. Therefore, the Company’s financing plan faces substantial uncertainty and contemplates significant leverage, and Subscriber will incur and suffer a substantial amount of dilution. Moreover, the Company recently decided to pursue a gas-fired 100 million gallon per year (MGY) ethanol project rather the previously proposed 50 MGY coal-fired ethanol plant. Therefore, the development of the ethanol project remains in flux and uncertain. Subscriber understands and agrees that, despite these and other substantial uncertainties facing the Company and its development and financing of the ethanol project and the planned ethanol plant, Subscriber’s subscription hereunder and the payment obligations under the Promissory Note each is irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, and may not be withdrawn for any reason.

Subscriber understands that all capitalized terms used in this Subscription Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms first in the Memorandum (defined below) or, if not defined therein, then in the Feasibility Report.

b. Information About the Company, the Offering, and the Revised Ethanol Project. Subscriber, or its representative(s), has received, read and understands the Company’s private placement memorandum dated November 18, 2005 including all Appendices and any supplements thereto (the “Memorandum”). Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has received, read and understands the Articles and Operating Agreement. Subscriber, or its representative, has had an opportunity to obtain, and has received, any additional information and has had an opportunity to ask such questions of, and receive answers from, the Company or an agent or representative of the Company, to the extent deemed necessary by the Subscriber in order to form a decision concerning an investment in the Company and its ethanol project under development, and the Company’s capital structure and financing plans. As a result, Subscriber believes it has sufficient knowledge about the business, management and financial affairs of the Company, the ethanol project, and the terms and conditions of the purchase of Units contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber understands that Subscriber’s investment in the Units is 100% at-risk capital, that no payments will be held in escrow and there is no minimum offering amount, and that the Company cannot complete its ethanol project without substantial amounts of additional equity or debt financing, neither of which is assured. Subscriber understands that the inability or failure of the Company to raise the substantial amount of additional equity or to obtain the debt financing it will need to complete the ethanol project and to construct its proposed ethanol plant will likely result in a complete loss of Subscriber’s investment. Many of the impediments to raising such equity or obtaining such debt financing are completely outside of the control of the Company.

c. High Degree of Risk. Subscriber realizes that an investment in the Units involves a high degree of risk, including, but not limited to, the risks of receiving no return on the investment and of losing Subscriber’s entire investment in the Company.

d. Ability to Bear the Risk. Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Units, including the total loss of such investment.

e. No Market for Units; Restrictions on Transfer. Subscriber realizes that (i) there are substantial restrictions on the transfer of the Units, both under the Securities Act and State Laws, as well as under the Articles and the Operating Agreement; (ii) there is not currently, and it is unlikely that in the future there will exist, a public market for the Units; and (iii) accordingly, for the above and other reasons, Subscriber may not be able to liquidate an investment in the Units for an indefinite period. Subscriber realizes that the Units have not been registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or applicable state securities laws (the “State Laws”). Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Units may be sold only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act and State Laws, or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that such registration is not required, and in accordance with the Articles and the Operating Agreement.

f. Suitability. Subscriber believes that the investment in the Units is suitable for the undersigned based upon Subscriber’s investment objectives and financial needs, and Subscriber has adequate means for providing for his, her or its current financial needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity of investment with respect to the Units. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he, she or it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Units or Subscriber has obtained, to the extent Subscriber deems necessary, his, her or its own professional advice with respect to the risks inherent in the investment in the Units, and the suitability of the investment in the Units in light of Subscriber’s financial condition and investment needs.

g. Investment Intent. Subscriber has been advised that the Units are not being registered under the Securities Act or the relevant State Laws but are being offered and sold pursuant to exemptions

from such laws and that the Company’s reliance upon such exemptions is predicated in part on Subscriber’s representations to it as contained herein. Subscriber represents and warrants that the Units are being purchased for Subscriber’s own account and for Subscriber’s investment and without the intention of reselling or redistributing the same, that Subscriber has made no agreement with others regarding any of the Units and that Subscriber’s financial condition is such that it is not likely that it will be necessary to dispose of any of the Units in the foreseeable future. Subscriber is aware that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a purchase of the Units with an intent to resell by reason of any foreseeable specific contingency or anticipated change in market values, or any change in the condition of the Company, or in connection with a contemplated liquidation or settlement of any loan obtained for the acquisition of the Units and for which the Units were pledged as security, would represent an intent inconsistent with the representations set forth above. Subscriber further represents and agrees that if, contrary to the foregoing stated intentions, Subscriber should later desire to dispose of or transfer any of the Units in any manner, he, she or it shall not do so without first obtaining the consent of the Company as required by the Company’s Articles and the Operating Agreement and (i) the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such proposed disposition or transfer lawfully may be made without the registration of the Units pursuant to the Securities Act and applicable State Laws, or (ii) such registration (it being expressly understood that the Company shall not have any obligation to register such Units for such purpose). Moreover, Subscriber understands that the Board of Governors of the Company has adopted or will adopt shortly a unit transfer policy that will restrict the transfer of any units (except for transfers without consideration upon death or to related parties) until thirty (30) days following the successful start-up of the proposed ethanol plant.

h. Brokers or Finders. Subscriber has not taken any action that will cause the Company to incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Subscription Agreement.

i. Tax Liability. Subscriber has reviewed with Subscriber’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and has and will rely solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Subscriber understands that Subscriber (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Subscriber’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

j. Residency. Subscriber is a resident of or, if an entity, has its principal place of business in, the following State:

Minnesota (please write in your state of residency).

k. Dilution. Subscriber understands and realizes that the offering price per Unit exceeds amounts paid by prior purchasers of the Company’s capital units and the price at which the Company has granted options to purchase the Company’s capital units, and that Subscriber will experience substantial dilution in the per unit net tangible book value of the Units purchased hereunder.

3. Accredited Status.

SECTION 3 IS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXEMPTIONS FROM THE SECURITIES ACT AND STATE LAWS BEING RELIED ON BY THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE UNITS. ALL FINANCIAL INFORMATION IN SECTION 3 WILL BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL, AND WILL BE REVIEWED ONLY BY THE COMPANY AND
