	RE:	 	AGREEMENT REGARDING FACILITIES NECESSARY FOR NATURAL GAS PIPELINE COMPANY OF AMERICA
(“Company”) TO DELIVER GAS TO E ENERGY ADAMS ETHANOL PLANT (“Customer”) IN GAGE COUNTY,
NEBRASKA





Dear Mr. Todd:



Customer desires an interconnection between its proposed facilities and the natural gas pipeline
facilities of Company. Company is willing to cooperate in the establishment of such an
interconnection as set forth herein. This Agreement establishes the terms and conditions upon
which the facilities necessary for the measurement and delivery of gas to Customer will be
constructed at a point on Company’s system in Section 17, Township 6 North, Range 8 East in
Gage County, Nebraska. Upon completion of the facilities contemplated herein, such point will
be identified as the “NGPL/E Energy Adams, Gage County, NE” interconnection point.





	 	1.	 	Facilities — Pursuant to the terms and conditions contained herein, Company
or Company’s designee will design, install, own, operate and maintain the side tap, valve
assembly, meter tube, measurement facilities, and other related facilities (“Facilities”)
that Company deems necessary to measure and deliver gas at the aforementioned point.
Customer or Customer’s designee will design, install, own, operate and maintain at its
sole expense, all necessary pipeline and pipeline-related facilities that are required for
the receipt of gas from the Facilities.
	 
	 	 	 	Each party to this Agreement is completely and solely responsible for the overpressure
protection of its own pipelines, valves, and all other related facilities. At all times
during or after construction, each party shall retain title to their respective facilities
and shall be responsible for insuring its interest therein.
	 
	 	2.	 	Available for Service Date — Company shall use its reasonable efforts to have
the Facilities constructed and Available for Service on or before September 15,
2007. In the event that Customer determines that its facilities have been delayed,
Customer shall promptly notify Company in writing of the length of said delay. In turn,
Company will have the option to delay the Available for Service date accordingly.
	 
	 	3.	 	Additional Facilities — If in the event the gas volumes delivered through the
Facilities become less than the Minimum Flow or more than the Maximum Flow as defined in
paragraph 4 and Company determines modification or additional equipment (“Flow
Modifications”) are required for accurate measurement of such volumes, Customer or
Customer’s designee agrees to pay for the installation of the Flow Modifications necessary
to correct the problem to Company’s sole satisfaction. If Customer fails to comply with
its obligations under this paragraph 3, Company, in addition to any legal or equitable
remedy it may have, may refuse to receive or deliver gas through the point established
hereunder.
	 
	 	4.	 	Design — Company and Customer agree that their respective facilities shall be
designed, engineered, constructed, and installed in compliance with all applicable laws,
sound and prudent standards, practices common to the natural gas

	 	 	 	industry, its respective engineering specifications and all Department of Transportation
and American Gas Association measurement standards. The parties agree to design the
facilities for a maximum allowable operating pressure of 712 psig. The meter
facilities will be designed to deliver gas volumes at a rate of no less than 1,104 Mcf
per day (46 Mcf per hour or “Minimum Flow”) and up to 10,200 Mcf per day (425 Mcf per hour
or “Maximum Flow”). This daily flow level represents a design approximation and is
neither a representation nor a guarantee that actual operating conditions will permit such
flow. If requested by Company, Customer shall submit to the Company detailed drawings and
specifications describing their facilities. Within ten (10) business days of receipt of
such drawings and specifications, Company shall notify Customer of any exceptions to such
drawings and specifications. Company shall have final design authority over said designs.
Company’s review is for the limited purpose of ensuring the protection and use of the
facilities and shall not be construed as confirming or endorsing the design, drawings or
specific use or as a warranty of any type. Customer agrees to coordinate with Company all
construction activities including rail construction, road construction and other third
party arrangements such that Company’s construction schedules and resulting costs are not
adversely impacted. See Exhibit A for the projected construction schedule.
	 
	 	5.	 	Facility Costs — The costs Customer shall reimburse Company to install the
Facilities is estimated to be six hundred twenty-seven thousand four hundred seventy
dollars ($627,470) inclusive of the income tax gross up (“Payment”). Customer shall be
responsible for paying all costs associated with the design, engineering, construction,
testing and placing in service of the Facilities including, but not limited to, all direct
and indirect costs incurred by Company, filing costs, labor costs, easement costs,
material costs and cancellation penalities, legal costs, permitting costs, installation,
inspection and testing costs, gas lost, Company’s normal and customary overheads, and
applicable taxes. Specific details on the estimated facilities costs can be found on the
attached Exhibit B. This is only an estimate and in no way limits Customer’s
obligation to reimburse Company for all such costs. Terms and conditions agreed to between
the parties shall meet the Company’s FERC Gas Tariff provisions including an approved
credit application as may be required.
	 
	 	6.	 	Payment — Customer shall pay Company for all costs specified in paragraph 5.
Exhibit C details the invoice, timing and payment(s) due Company prior to the
Available for Service Date. All payments to Company shall be made by bank wire, or in such
other manner as may be mutually agreed to by the parties.
	 
	 	 	 	Within ninety days after the Available for Service Date, Company shall reconcile actual vs.
estimated costs of the project. If the actual costs are greater than the Payment(s) Company
shall invoice Customer for the difference and Customer shall pay such invoice within 30
days from the date of the invoice. If the actual costs are less than the Payment(s),
Company shall refund Customer the difference. Customer retains the right to reasonably
challenge such costs and obtain back-up documentation from the Company but will not be
excused from making timely payments pending resolution of disputed amounts. Failure by
Customer to remit full payment of amounts due Company hereunder within the time period
specified will subject said unpaid amount to a late interest charge, calculated at an
annual percentage rate of 18% and remain due under the terms hereof.
	 
	 	7.	 	License/Easement —
	 
	 	 	 	(a) Customer hereby grants to Company a license to occupy and use, subject to all of the
terms and conditions hereof, so much of the premises controlled by Customer under the
easement or other property rights relative to the Facilities as is necessary for the
purposes of this Agreement at no cost to Company. Upon request, Customer shall furnish
Company an exact description of such premises and license agreement. Such license is
nonexclusive. Customer hereby retains all of its rights to the premises except as granted
herein. Customer shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause such easement(s) to maintained
throughout the term of this Agreement and provide Company personnel with unencumbered
access to the Facilities.
	 
	 	 	 	(b) This grant of license shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue until the
Facilities are removed, but not longer than Customer’s or its designee’s rights under its
easement or other property rights, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.
	 
	 	8.	 	Operation and Maintenance —
	 
	 		 	(a) Each party shall be fully responsible for the continued operation, maintenance, repair
and replacement of its respective facilities, either by its own actions or those of a
designee, and all cost, expense and risk associated therewith.
