The Biomass Incentive will be paid 30 days of it by Global of funds from the buyer.


All potential sales of biomass are subject to review by Global, and Global reserves the right to either accept or reject any potential sale. However, if Global chooses to sell the biomass to a buyer for a lower price than an alternate buyer, Global will pay to Lodemo its Biomass Incentive based on the documented price of the alternate buyer.

EXHIBIT B


LODEMO PERSONNEL


CONTRACTED PERSONELL


Contracted personal will be the key to make this plantation work and are required to accomplish most of the laborious efforts for this project. It is, therefore, important to be able to find and hire dependable and hard working individuals that will be able to perform the specific duties they will be assigned to do.


One of the first people needed, as we take over the ranch, is the Ranch Foreman. The Ranch Foreman will be responsible for the ranch when GCE or Grupo Lodemo's personal is not on site. He will coordinate with his subordinates to carry out any duties that are assigned to them and most importantly be responsible for the well being of the ranch and plantation efforts.


The second person to be hired will be the "Regador", the waterer, irrigator, the one responsible for irrigating and keeping the pivot systems operating and in good working order. He will have to keep good records of the irrigation systems plus records of the irrigation schedules as well. He will have to work closely with the ranch foreman and the agronomist to determine the fertilization rate that will have to be applied to the plants as assigned by the agronomist. El Regador will have his family living on the ranch with him and he will be assigned a home, on the ranch, so he can be close to the irrigation systems if anything fails during the irrigation cycles. His wife will provide meals to GCE and Grupo Lodemo personal, when on site, since it is not convenient to be going into Tizimin for meals. All necessary groceries and items will be provided for her to accomplish this task. This will cut down on expenses for those of us that are traveling and to the over all project budget. An allowance or salary will also be provided to her for her efforts.


It will be necessary to hire a night watchman, "Velador", or security guard to watch over the ranch at night, when everybody else is off and resting. Given the size of the ranch, it may take up to two or three people to take watch over such a large area.


Laborers will need to be contracted/hired as well as full time staff to take care of the daily routines of the ranch and other necessary duties required. These duties would include taking down fences, installing new ones, repairing them, repairing structures or buildings, repairing equipment and/or other duties as assigned. This personal would be the "ranch hands" and would not be part of the labor group that would take care of planting and growing the Jatropha. These people would work directly to operate and maintain the ranch and ensure that everything is in good working order. The number of laborers needed is still not defined but we can assume that, based on the size of ranch and the needed repairs to begin as we take over the ranch will be ten (10). These men will need to be semi-skilled and able to operate hand tools and have the basic knowledge of repairing structures or equipment. Two or three trucks will need to be assigned to this team especially as they are assigned different tasks.


A mechanic will also need to be hired to keep all equipment in good working condition. This individual must have experience with farm equipment as well as your typical vehicles to include all ranch hand and farm pick up trucks and cars.

Prepared for:







tizimin ranch,

yucatan mexico

Tizimin Ranch - 2,000 Hectares


Property Background:


The property is currently owned by Consortium Cattle Raiser Preisser, INC. of C.V., a companywhich raises cattle throughout Mexico. The land was purchased by them between 1994-5 and clear title was recorded in their name at that time. Since then they have had a mortgage secured on the property and have since paid it off and recorded the payoff. 


The original land owner had been raising cattle on this property since 1995 and had a plan to clear more of the land a develop it as commercial grazing land for his cattle and to "rent" it to other cattle owners for grazing. They began clearing land, drilling wells, installing pumping stations, electricity and center pivot irrigation systems. In preparation for irrigating the entire property they installed approximately 14 wells and extended electricity to those locations. The improvements were estimated to have cost more then US $1.0 million.


They began by installing the first irrigation system for 135 Hectares on the most naturally clear land and then began clearing land to the west and east of that location. They installed two more systems, also for 135 Hectares each and then stopped work... we are not sure the exact reason, but we were told it was based on their internal company business direction in other areas of Mexico and had nothing to do with this particular property. We understand that they continue to raise cattle in other areas and have shipped all of the cattle to those areas. 


The land was being maintained by a curator who lived off of the proceeds and products of the 120 head of cattle and various other farm animals that were on the property. There are many structures throughout the property including farm houses, small barns and various fenced corals. It appears that most of the property has a perimeter fence, mostly barbed wire, some of which is electrified.


The land was purchased with all of the improvements, but the livestock and farm equipment was shipped to the original owners' other properties.


Property Description:


The property is a consolidation of 7 separate properties under four currently recorded titles.


The land is located approximately 12 miles northeast of Tizimin, Yucatan, Mexico and is approximately 110 miles from Merida and the port of Progresso and 75 miles from Cancun.

1. Plant & Soil Science Support Plan


Genetic and Trait Selection - With the support of scientists from the University of Texas Pan America (UTPA) and additional Plant and Soil Scientists from Industry, we will continue to develop with the methodology for the genetic selection of the varieties of Jatropha curcas that show the best adaptability to our environment. We will utilize, as the base of the project, seeds of at least twelve different origins to be planted in the Tebec Plant Breeding & Propagation Site. The data and parameters will be obtained for the selection of the seeds which will propagate in the first productive units, implementing in parallel the continuous research program to reach the best productivity.

Germ Plasm & Selection 


Nursery Facilities and Operations


Management & Operations


A team of professional scientists that the will be employed by GCE and Grupo Lodemo will oversee and management and operations of these facilities. This team includes an Agronomist and the UTPA. The agronomist will oversee the fertilization and irrigation program of this area along with direct input and consultation with the team. UTPA will also aid in this process plus offer solutions and oversight and management of these facilities. More specifically, UTPA may start developing the genetic and trait selection from these facilities. This trait selection will be huge in size but this may serve as a beginning to the entire process. Grupo Lodemo would be responsible for providing the personnel needed to facilitate this process, maintain and operate these facilities. They would provide oversight of this personnel to include supervision, direction and compensation.


Shade Houses


The shade houses may play an important part in providing plantings to the Tizimin ranch. Grupo Lodemo is currently conducting an experiment to determine a higher rate of germination. This experiment includes two groups, one with trays inside the shade house and another outside, exposed to the sun continuously. This experiment may determine whether or not we will be requiring shade houses to germinate and provide plants for the ranch.


The shade house at Tebec is a structure that occupies an area of 9.5m x 21.5m (approximately 200 m2) and will provide approximately 42,500 plantings using the BBC tray system. The plantings required for the first quarter section of Pivot #1 is approximately 88,000 trees. Therefore, if we build shade houses the same size as the one in Tebec, we would need two to provide the required planting for this first quarter section.


Assuming that we have a 100% germination rate for the planting in the shade houses, we would need only two shade houses to provide for the first section. Knowing, though, that this is not the case, we will need to germinate an additional 20 to 30%, either on the side of the shade houses or build an additional shade house for this reason. This, however, depends on the efficiency of our germination system.


If we consider planting out by quarter sections of each pivot system at the ranch as described above, then all we would need is two or three shade houses. On the other hand, if we consider planting other parts of the ranch utilizing seasonal rains as the main irrigation system, as Alfonso Peon from Grupo Lodemo has been proposing, then we will need to build additional shade houses for this effort. The number of additional shade houses would depend on the size of area and number of plantings required for this area.


Irrigation


Germination of the seeds requires water, therefore, an irrigation system will need to be installed at each shade house and/or the area designated for germination. This irrigation system can be very simple and cost effective if designed to be watered by hand. 


The shade houses would be located near the main ranch house where both water and close vigilance would be provided. Locating the shade houses near to the existing ranch house would benefit from the close proximity of the existing well at the ranch and no additional drilling of wells would be required for this effort. 


Perhaps an expansion tank would need to be part of this system to provide a constant rate of 30 gpm to the shade houses. Once inside each shade house, quick disconnects would be provided along the center, and above, so that the person watering the plants does not have to drag a fifty foot long hose around in the shade house. This would prevent people from tripping and falling plus not knocking things over with the hose. From each quick disconnect the "waterer" would connect his five foot long hose to water each section of the shade house.




  





  











  






Shade Clothe & Ground Cover


One of the methods to provide limited amount of sunlight to the plantings that has been discussed, but not fully understood, is the method of switching out shade clothes that allow 90, 75 and 50% of sunlight to penetrate each shade house. The changing out of each of this clothes will have to discussed and determined as to their longevity, meaning, how long each shade cloth will need to be over each shade house until the next one is required.


A lining called "Ground Cover" will also need to be considered to protect the ground, under each shade house, from weeds growing under them. This cover would not allow weeds to grow underneath them nor penetrate them. 


Seed Varieties and Availability


Transportation and importing


Seeds for cultivation are available from a different number of sources, both, from within Mexico and outside of Mexico. The initial attempt to purchase seeds from Brazil and India has been a slow and a delaying process. Given this experience, planning for unforeseen delays and/or other obstacles is a must. Oversea varieties have to go through a stringent inspection process at the port of entry and through Mexican customs. 


Transportation and importing of seeds from overseas varies in time depending on whether you transport them through air or sea. The earliest and fastest way to ship these seeds is through air cargo as it takes approximately three weeks which includes the required regulatory documentation and sanitation processes. Sea cargo takes approximately thirty days longer than air but the cost of this cargo is less expensive than air cargo by one fourth the price. 


Air or sea cargo would be arriving at the port of Veracruz, Mexico and aside from the 15 to 45 day shipment time, we still need to allow for another seven to ten days for clearance, at customs, plus transportation to Merida Yucatan. Therefore, we should allow from 30 to 60 days for importing of seeds, depending on whether through air or sea.


The quality of seeds has not yet been determined but is something that will be learned through our genetic and trait selection process and through experience. The purchase of seeds will probably be a "one time" event since once acquiring the seeds and through geminating, they will be put through the genetic and trait selection process, allowing us to harvest seeds from our plants. This will allow for specific selection of the best varieties through cross pollination and the germination processes.


Therefore, the purchasing of seeds must be done with enough time to allow for warehousing.




  





  











  






Purchasing & Availability


The purchase of seeds is available through a number of sources as well but the costs per kilo vary. Seeds for cultivation are available from within Mexico and from other parts of the world as you can see in the list below. This list was developed as a plan to acquire seeds from within Mexico and outside of Mexico. We have included six varieties from Mexico and six from around the world. The list is as follows:

Warehousing/Storage


The storage or shelf life of the seed, we understand, depends on the environment and the storage conditions of the seed. We understand that they must be stored in a dry and cool environment to extend the shelf life.


Analysis of seeds


All seeds, from all different origins, will be tested and analyzed for oil content percentage, weight of each seed, and quantity/quality of protein. This will help in our genetic and trait selection as it is developed. With this information, we can compare each of these qualities of seeds with the ones that are germinated and cross pollinated as our program advances.

Farm Development 


The development of the Tizimin ranch will be accomplished in phases but with the goal to have all two thousand hectares planted out with Jatropha carcus by the end of the year. It is important to note that there are three different pivot irrigation systems on the property already and that the development of this land will start with Pivot #1, the one closest to the Ranch house.


This farm sits approximately 12 miles northeast of Tizimin, Yucatan, Mexico and is approximately 110 miles from Merida and the port of Progresso and 75 miles from Cancun. Careful planning and coordination will need to be conducted for delivery of all necessary equipment and trips taken to the ranch since it is not conveniently accessible to Merida, our home base.


SITE ASSESMENT & TAKE-OVER PLAN


A detailed site assessment should be conducted as soon as we take over the ranch. This site assessment should include a detailed inventory of all structures (homes, houses) barns, garages, equipment, wells, electrical lines and power, water, wells, and other existing assets included with the ranch. The condition of the all of the Pivot systems is under way and is being conducted prior to this take over to try to speed up the process of clearing, planting and irrigation.


RANCH HOUSE PREPARATION


Preparation of ranch houses and sleeping quarters will have to be one of the first duties/requirements when overtaking the ranch. It is important to have a place to rest and sleep when the project site is far away from any city.


The main house will need to be identified and repairs needed must be documented during the initial site evaluation of the ranch. All required improvements and repairs must be noted along with furnishings required for your typical home. Furnishings should include but not be limited to beds, dresser drawers, lamps, night stands, kitchen chairs and tables, living room sofas and chairs, desks and chairs, telephone (land line), and other necessary items. This house must have a working bathroom with shower and all the necessary toiletries to include towels, soap, paper, and all other necessary items. Pots, pans, dishes, spoons, cups, glasses and all other necessary cook ware necessary to be able to provide and have required meals at the ranch and not have to eat out every day.


The ranch foreman's quarters or house will also need to be identified. All required repairs and improvements must also be documented at time of initial site assessment. A list of all required furnishings and necessities should be included as well for this house.


A home for the Regador (waterer) and his family should also be identified. All the necessary furnishings and required items to live at the ranch should be provided form them. This home should be close to the main house and the bunk house available to the ranch hands so that the regador's wife can easily feed the men on a daily basis. 


An option to the regador's wife would be to hire a full time cook with an assistant and provide a sleeping quarter for them plus provide a mess hall so that all ranch hands can have a place to eat during the week.


The ranch hands, or laborers, must also have a place to rest and sleep. A bunk house should be identified for them and all necessary furnishings should be provided to them as well. 




  





  











  






SUPPLY WAREHOUSE & REPAIR SHOP


A supply warehouse is needed to provide maintenance and repairs for all farm equipment. This structure will provide storage for all tools, machinery and equipment and an area for providing repairs to all farm equipment. 


A well conditioned space will be assigned and maintained as storage for all the seed purchased for germination. Cooling and dehumidification will be required for this storage as well as proper shelving or storage compartments for the different varieties purchased.


The repair shop will be stocked with all necessary tools for the mechanic to include, but not limited to the following:



	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
a.

	
Welder and Equipment

Storage facilities for diesel and used oil should be provided in this area as well. This area should be contained in case of an oil or fuel spill.


SMALL EQUIPMENT PURCHASES


Equipment for operating and maintaining the farm should be considered at the beginning of the operation. This equipment would be the necessary to begin operations when the land is purchased and taken over. The basic list is as follows:



	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
a.

	
Small Truck for Foreman/Attendant

IRRIGATION


There are three pivot irrigation systems already in place at the ranch, number one pivot in Santa Eulalia section, number two at San Jose and number three in Santa Cruz. Neither of them is in working order and will need some work to be able to get them to working conditions again.


Valmont Corporation is in the process of providing us with a proposal to refurbish and get pivot #1 back on line and working again. Our efforts will be concentrated on this pivot for clearing and planting once this pivot is on line again.


CLEARING OF LAND


A comprehensive clearing plan needs to be prepared as a necessity and will be accomplished as we take over the ranch and start clearing Pivot #1. A contractor will be selected to accomplish this task and may be asked to provide this plan themselves if they have enough experience to do this themselves. A good property survey will be required not only for this task but to be able to plan soil sampling and location of new wells and or structures needed for the plantation. But regardless of what needs to happen down the road, a good survey will help us develop the farm in a much simplified manner.


GCE has a preference to cut or knock down weeds, brush and trees and compost the debris back into the ground, on site. It is customary in Yucatan to pile all of the debris and burn them but burning 2000 Ha would serve as negative publicity to this project. Either way, the land has to be cleared in a safe but expeditious way. We might find that a combination of both clearing methods might serve us better but we must make every effort to maintain a positive outlook on the project but still be productive and efficient in the process.


Clearing of the land is going to start at Pivot #1 at only one of the quarter sections of the system which is approximately thirty three hectares. Clearing will start as soon as we are able to take over the ranch, and in parallel, the refurbishment of the irrigation system as well. Once the irrigation system is in place and in working order, we will start planting right behind the clearing efforts.


In parallel to clearing of this area in Pivot #1, an area selected by the team will also be cleared to be able to take advantage of the rainy season, an area which will not require an irrigation system installed right away but will be installed soon after the rainy season is over. This will help us in energy costs and labor and materials cost for a new irrigation system.


Another option that may be taken is to have three different crews working on all three Pivot systems to get them ready for irrigation plus also have a crew at each pivot for clearing and planting. We can contract for clearing of pivot #1 but that does not mean that we cant clear the rest of the pivots and the remaining farm ourselves given the time and resources to do it.


Once we know the methodologies and ways to clear the land, we can accomplish this task ourselves, if given the time and resources to do it. Below is a list of equipment that would be necessary to accomplish this task and aid us in completing this in a much faster way.

CLEARING FORMAT


The order in which the land will be cleared will depend on which of the pivots can be refurbished easier and faster. Pivot #1 is the most accessible at this time and the type of brush, weeds, or trees are of low lying vegetation and may be easier to clear than the other two pivot systems. Since irrigation is one of the most important necessities to the growth of the plant, we will clear in and around the existing pivot irrigation systems. Clearing will commence in this order:



	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
1.

	
Pivot #1 - 132 hectares (total)


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
 

	
One fourth of this circle (33 hectares) will be cleared first. Once the clearing is completed in this area, it will be irrigated once the irrigation system is up and running.


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
2.

	
Pivot #2 - 63 hectares (only 50% of the area can be irrigate at this time) The surrounding terrain will allow the pivot to circulate only to a half circle. The same concept of clearing can be accomplished with this pivot as with number one.


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
3.

	
Pivot #5 - 145 hectares


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
 

	
This pivot is the one that will require more refurbishment. The Valmont Corporation will provide us with detail on what it will take to bring this and the other pivot systems on line. The clearing format for this area still unknown since we have not yet taken over the ranch and have not yet done the site assessment or clearing plan.


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
4.

	
Areas that will be cleared later (according to the clearing plan)







CLEARING CRITERIA 


Soft Weeds- It is estimated that the tractor with a heavy rake can clear approximately 2 ha/day, which will require three tractors with rakes/disks to achieve 6 Ha/Day = 6 ha/day x 5 days/week = 30 ha/week x 4 weeks/month = 120 ha/ month


Low Lying - With a tractor hauling a roller to knock down the weeds can advance 1 ha/day x 5 days/week = 5 ha/week x 4 week/month = 20 ha/month



	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
�

	
1 tractor = 20 ha/month


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
�

	
2 tractor = 40 ha/month


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
�

	
3 tractor = 60 ha/month


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
�

	
4 tractor = 80 ha/month


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
�

	
5 tractor = 100 ha/month







High forest - This area will require a Bulldozer, D6 � D7, to knock down the forest/jungle and to push debris into piles. The Bulldozer can clear approximately 1 Ha/day. The debris can be milled or burned, depending on how fast we need to do away with the debris. 


1 ha/day x 5 days/week = 5 ha/week x 4 week/month = 20 ha/month



	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
i.

	
1 Bulldozer = 20 ha/month


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
ii.

	
2 Bulldozer = 40 ha/month


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
iii.

	
3 Bulldozer = 60 ha/month


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
iv.

	
4 Bulldozer = 80 ha/month


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
v.

	
5 Bulldozer = 100 ha/month
