This Marketing Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of this 22nd day of
January, 2007, is made by and between Distillers Grain Services LLC
("Distillers") and NEDAK Ethanol, LLC ("NEDAK"). NEDAK is constructing an
ethanol production facility (the "Facility") which will produce modified wet
distiller grains ("MWDG") as the exclusive and only ethanol co-product of the
plant. Distillers and NEDAK are collectively referred to as the "parties" and
individually as a "party" herein.
For good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Marketing Services: For the Term (as defined below) of this Marketing
Agreement, Distillers shall have the exclusive right to purchase from
NEDAK, and shall be obligated to market, all MWDG (exclusive ethanol
co-product) produced at the Facility.
2. Term: This Marketing Agreement shall be effective for an initial term of
twenty-four months following three months of start up operations of the
Facility and beginning on a date mutually agreed by NEDAK and Distillers,
but in any case subject to complete construction of the Facility. The
Agreement shall renew for an additional twenty-four months (a "Renewal
Term") at the conclusion of the Initial Term and each Renewal Term
thereafter, unless either party has given written notice to the other 120
days prior to the expiration date of the Term, which shall include the
Initial Term and all Renewal Terms.
3. Title and Collection: Title and risk of loss to the MWDG shall transfer to
Distillers FOB Facility. The weight for pricing purposes shall be
determined when the MWDGs are weighed on NEDAK certified scales, or other
approved certified scales mutually agreed to by the parties, and loaded
into a truck or other carrier for load out (the "Delivery Location").
Collection and all risks of non-payment of accounts receivables shall be
the sole responsibility of Distillers, upon transfer of title. Distillers
shall, at its sole discretion, establish policies for credit reviews and
credit limits for Distillers present and future customers. Upon credit
approval, Distillers shall authorize shipments of MWDGs from NEDAK to
Distillers's customers.
4. Shipping and Handling:
a. The MWDG customer (e.g., a feedyard) will have the option of taking
delivery of the MWDG at the Facility or selecting a commercial freight
company of their choice to take delivery of the MWDGS, provided that
in either case the title will transfer as set forth in Section 3.
Distillers shall have sole responsibility to arrange for sufficient
trucks to transport any remaining MWDG production on a
EXECUTION COPY
daily basis. No later than 12:00 p.m. each day, Distillers shall
provide to NEDAK a load out schedule for the next day and the expected
load out schedule for the following four (4) days.
b. In connection with this Agreement, NEDAK will:
(i) Determine the weight of all MWDGs delivered from the Facility to
Distillers or its customers using scales at the facility that are
inspected and certified as required by applicable law and as
otherwise required by this Agreement; and
(ii) Load the MWDGs for shipment into trucks in a timely manner, which
shall include supplying adequate labor and equipment for loading
MWDG on a twenty-four hour load out schedule, 7 days a week
including holidays.
5. Price: Distillers agrees to purchase from NEDAK all MWDGs (exclusive
ethanol co-product) produced at the Facility, FOB Atkinson, NE. Distillers
shall operate in good faith and use its best efforts to procure a market
competitive price for all MWDGs (the "Purchase Price"). Distillers shall
permit NEDAK to audit its books from time to time with reasonable notice to
ensure compliance with the intent of this provision and the Agreement. The
Purchase Price may be adjusted by the mutual written consent of the
parties.
a. NEDAK shall guarantee moisture content of MWDGs at 55% (45% dry
matter) with a tolerance of + or - of 1% points ("Moisture
Standards"). NEDAK will take and analyze an origin sample of the MWDGs
after it is weighed in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement and
placed in a truck or other carrier for load out (the "Sample"). NEDAK
will label such Sample to indicate the date of load out; the truck or
other carrier from which the Sample was taken; and the order/shipment
number. NEDAK will retain such Samples of MWDGs for not less than five
(5) days and labeling information of such Samples of MWDGs for not
less than thirty (30) days. At a minimum, a composite analysis of
MWDGs shall be sent once a month to Distillers. It is understood that
said analysis is a composite and may not be indicative of the current
analysis.
b. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, Distillers may inspect
the MWDGs at any time after delivery by NEDAK at the Delivery
Location. If, after inspection, Distillers claims that the moisture
content of the inspected MWDGs ("Questioned MWDGs") exceeds the
Moisture Standards, Distillers will provide NEDAK written notice of
same. At that time, NEDAK shall immediately test the Sample of the
Questioned MWDGs ("Tested Sample"). If the moisture content for the
Tested Sample exceeds the Moisture Standards, Distillers may reject
(as set forth in Section 7) the Questions MWDGs or receive a Discount
(as defined below), the option of which is subject to Distillers's
sole discretion. The Discount for the Questioned MWDGs will be 75
cents per moisture point per ton. The 75 cents per moisture point
discount is equivalent to discounting #2 corn at 4 cents
EXECUTION COPY
per percent point on moisture basis. ($.04/56#x2000#/.85x.45= $.7563
per ton dry basis corn) Distillers shall have the right to audit and
confirm such records on moisture tests.
6. MWDGs Quality: NEDAK shall produce MWDGs consistent with the Moisture
Standards. NEDAK shall also provide an official feed tag with
specifications of their MWDGs. NEDAK shall represent that all MWDGs sold
under this Marketing Agreement shall be non-toxic and approved for animal
feed purposes. NEDAK will not be a party to, or have any liability or
obligation to any customer of or to Distillers itself under agreements or
contracts entered into by Distillers as a result of MWDGs quality except as
provided in this Section 6. Distillers will indemnify, defend and hold
harmless NEDAK and its Affiliates, employees and agents from and against
any and all liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys fees) arising out of, relating to or resulting from any failure
of distiller grains (DGs) DGs to comply with the production standards or
degrading the quality of DGs which results from causes or conditions
arising after title passes to Distillers, except to the extent such
liabilities, costs and expenses arise out of the gross negligence or
intentional misconduct of NEDAK or a breach of this Agreement by NEDAK.
7. Rejection. Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, and in addition to
other remedies permitted by law, Distillers may, without obligation to pay,
reject either before or after delivery by NEDAK at the Delivery Location,
any of the MWDGs, which when inspected, fails in a material way to conform
to the Moisture Standards. If NEDAK knows or reasonably suspects that any
of the MWDGs produced at the Facility fail to conform to the Moisture
Standards, NEDAK shall promptly notify Distillers so that such MWDGs can be
retested before entering interstate commerce. If Distillers knows or
reasonably suspects that any of the MWDGs produced by NEDAK at the Facility
fail to conform to the Moisture Standards, then Distillers may obtain
independent laboratory tests of the affected MWDGs. If such MWDGs are
tested and found to comply with the Moisture Standards, then Distillers
shall pay all testing costs; and if the MWDGs are found not to comply with
the Moisture Standards, NEDAK will pay all testing costs. Any testing
obtained by Distillers shall be performed no later than five (5) days from
the delivery of MWDGs to the Delivery Location.
8. Disposition. When rejection occurs before or after delivery by NEDAK at the
Delivery Location, at its option, Distillers may:
(a) Dispose of the rejected MWDGs after first offering NEDAK a reasonable
opportunity of examining and taking possession thereof, if the
condition of the MWDGs reasonably appears to Distillers to permit such
delay in making disposition.
(b) Work with NEDAK to dispose of the rejected DGs in any manner directed
by NEDAK that Distillers can accomplish without violation of
applicable laws, regulations or property rights.
(c) If Distillers has no available means of disposal of rejected DGs or
NEDAK fails to direct Distillers to dispose of them as provided
herein, Distillers may return the
EXECUTION COPY
rejected DGS to NEDAK, upon which event Distillers's obligations with
respect to said rejected DGs shall be deemed fulfilled. Title and risk
of loss shall pass to NEDAK promptly upon proper rejection by
Distillers.
(d) NEDAK shall reimburse Distillers for all costs reasonably incurred by
Distillers in storing, transporting, returning and disposing of the
properly rejected DGS. Distillers shall have no obligation to pay
NEDAK for rejected DGS and if not reimbursed, may deduct reasonable
costs and expenses to be reimbursed by NEDAK from amounts otherwise
owed by Distillers to NEDAK.
9. Sales: Distillers shall have sole responsibility of selling all MWDGs
(exclusive ethanol co-product) produced by NEDAK at the Facility. Sales
price shall be determined on the cost of MWDGs FOB Facility as set forth by
this Marketing Agreement less marketing fee as agreed upon below. NEDAK
shall not be responsible for any costs of transporting MWDGs once title
passes to Distillers or its customers. Marketing fee referenced above shall
be based upon the current week's tonnage and shall be as follows: at $50
per ton or less - a fee of $1.50 per ton; and over $50 per ton, a fee of
three percent (3%) of tonnage, all based on a price per ton of FOB
Facility. The parties further agree that the tonnage tax, which is
currently .10 per ton, shall be the responsibility of Distillers.
10. Production: NEDAK agrees to produce MWDGs for the length of this Term and
any and all subsequent Terms renewed. Any and all modifications to the
NEDAK ethanol plant operations that affect MWDGs production output shall be
notified to Distillers in writing, the modifications and effect on
production of MWDGs, no later than 30 days prior to such modifications.
NEDAK shall notify Distillers of any and all intended substantial
reductions of MWDGs production in writing prior to 60 days of such reduced
levels of production, which both parties mutually agree upon a an
acceptable level of production. The Parties further acknowledge that this
Agreement contemplates the production of MWDGs. Nonetheless, it is the
intent of the Parties that the following provisions shall apply if NEDAK
desires to produce other products or new products derived from DGs or any
component thereof (including without limitation fats, carbohydrates or
protein) that may be developed during the Term of this Agreement or any
subsequent Terms: (A) NEDAK shall provide Distillers sixty (60) days prior
notice of its intent to produce any such product, in as much detail as
NEDAK may have on such other or new product; (B) NEDAK agrees to use
Distillers to market the other or new products, subject to Distillers
agreeing to do so; and (C) the Parties shall negotiate the pricing and
terms that are competitive to the Parties and third parties for such other
or new products.
11. Payment: Payment of the Purchase Price for MWDGs shall be made as follows.
For deliveries from Monday through Sunday, payment shall be made on the
following Friday. If such Friday is a federal holiday, payment shall be
made on the next business day. Distillers shall remit payment to NEDAK by
Electric Funds Transfer (EFT). The outbound weight certificates generated
pursuant to Section 3 will determine the quantity of MWDGs for which
Distillers is obligated to pay pursuant to this Section 11. NEDAK will
provide a copy of each such weight certificate to Distillers at the same
time that such certificate is produced.

12. Plant Shutdowns: As soon as is commercially reasonable, NEDAK shall notify
Distillers by verbal and/or written notice of any governmental mandatory
shutdowns or planned shutdowns for plant maintenance. In such situations,
Distillers shall make arrangements with its customers to utilize MWDGs
inventories and subsequent production to carry customers through such
shutdowns. In the event of an unplanned shutdown (plant breakdown for
whatever reason) NEDAK shall notify Distillers immediately so Distillers
can implement emergency plans with its customers. NEDAK shall in its best
efforts restore plant operations as soon as possible. Distillers hereby
acknowledges this and agrees that NEDAK will not have any liability or
obligation to any purchaser or to Distillers under this Agreement or any
other agreement or contract related to any shutdown.
