Exhibit 10.2




CENTRAL IOWA ENERGY, LLC TOLL PROCESSING AGREEMENT




This Central Iowa Energy, LLC Toll Processing Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered
into effective January 6, 2009, by and between Central Iowa Energy, LLC, an Iowa limited liability
company, of 3426 East 28th St. North, Newton Iowa, 50208 (“CIE”), and REG Marketing &
Logistics Group, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company (“REG Marketing”), of 416 S. Bell Avenue,
PO Box 888, Ames, Iowa 50010 (each a “Party,” and collectively the “Parties”).



Recitals




A. CIE is in the business of manufacturing and processing biodiesel from feedstock at its
biodiesel processing facility located at Newton, Iowa (the “Facility”).



B. REG Marketing desires to arrange for the delivery of animal fats and other feedstocks (as
specified by the provisions of Section 7 hereafter, herein “Feedstocks”) to CIE for processing into
biodiesel meeting the specifications set out in Section 8 hereafter (herein “Biodiesel”) pursuant
to a toll processing arrangement. CIE desires that REG Marketing arrange for the delivery of
Feedstocks for processing at the Facility.



The Agreement




In consideration of the mutual benefits and obligations herein provided and other good and
valuable consideration, CIE and REG Marketing agree as follows:



1. Offers to Deliver Feedstocks for Processing. REG Marketing may offer to deliver
Feedstocks to CIE’s Facility at Newton, Iowa, during the term of this Agreement.




	 	(a)	 	Orders within Facility Commitment. REG Marketing shall have the right
(but not any obligation) to order the processing of up to 1.9 million pounds of
Feedstocks during a Production Week at the Facility (“Facility Commitment”), so long as
REG Marketing has delivered such order at least two (2) weeks prior to the commencement
of such Production Week. Any such order shall set out the type and quantity of
Feedstocks, and the Production Week for which such Feedstocks are intended for
processing (“Order”). If such Order is timely made, then unless otherwise agreed by
the Parties REG Marketing shall deliver the Feedstocks to CIE prior to such Production
Week to utilize in the production of the Biodiesel, CIE shall process the Feedstocks
and test and certify the Biodiesel as meeting the agreed upon specifications under the
applicable Order during such Production Week, and REG Marketing shall arrange to pick
up the resulting Biodiesel during the two weeks immediately following such Production
Week. CIE agrees to provide written acknowledgment of all Orders placed by REG
Marketing. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Production Week” shall mean a calendar
week beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Monday and ending at 7:59 a.m. on the following Monday,
with weeks designated for delivery of Feedstocks and pick up of Biodiesel measured in
similar fashion.





 	 	 	 
	***	 	Portions omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and filed separately with the
SEC.



 


 









 






As an example, for the Production Week commencing January 19, 2009, REG Marketing
would need to have delivered its Order for such Production Week on or before 5:00
p.m. on Monday, January 5, 2009. If such Order has been timely delivered to CIE,
REG Marketing would then have until 7:59 a.m. on Monday morning January 19, 2009, to
deliver in the Feedstocks required for such Production Week. CIE would then have
the Production Week of January 19 through January 26, 2009, to complete production,
test and certify the Biodiesel meets the agreed upon specifications under the
applicable Order. REG Marketing would then have from January 26 through 7:59 a.m.
on February 9, 2009, to pick up the Biodiesel produced for such Production Week.
REG Marketing shall develop a sample “Order/Nomination” form to be used by the
Parties, which shall be attached as Exhibit A hereto.




	 	(b)	 	Offers in Excess of the Facility Commitment. REG Marketing may offer
to delivery additional Feedstocks beyond the Facility Commitment, subject to CIE’s
acceptance. Any such offer (“Nomination”) shall set out the type and quantity of
Feedstocks, the Production Week for which such Feedstocks are intended for production,
and advise of the time period during which CIE shall be required to communicate CIE’s
acceptance back to REG Marketing (“Offer Period”). The parties agree that such Offer
Period will not expire prior to 12:00 o’clock noon, local time at the Facility, on the
business day following that day during which the Nomination is delivered, and provided
further that (unless waived by CIE) a Nomination shall not propose a Feedstocks
delivery schedule with first delivery date less than seven (7) calendar days after the
end of the Offer Period. If a Nomination is accepted by CIE (as set out hereafter),
then (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties) REG Marketing agrees to deliver the
Feedstocks to CIE pursuant to the terms of the Nomination prior to such Production Week
to utilize in the production of the Biodiesel, CIE shall during such Production Week
process the Feedstocks and test and certify the Biodiesel as meeting the agreed upon
specifications under the applicable Nomination, and REG Marketing shall arrange to pick
up the resulting Biodiesel during the two weeks immediately following such Production
Week. The sample “Order/Nomination” form to be used by the Parties is attached as
Exhibit A hereto.







2. Agreement to Process Orders; Consideration of Nominations.




	 	(a)	 	Orders within Facility Commitment. CIE agrees to process Feedstocks for
all Orders received totaling up to 1.9 million pounds per Production Week, such
processing to be within the time frame as set out in Section 1(a) above (unless
otherwise agreed by the Parties).







	 	(b)	 	Nominations in Excess of Facility Commitment. In addition, should REG
Marketing offer to deliver Feedstocks in excess of such Facility Commitment, CIE will
consider any such Nomination received, and shall have the right (but not any
obligation) to accept Nominations received from REG Marketing by notice given during
the Offer Period. If CIE gives timely acceptance of a Nomination
(pursuant to the provisions set out in this Agreement, herein an “Acceptance”), then
CIE agrees to process Feedstocks received pursuant to the terms of the Nomination
(and such other applicable provisions as set out herein).

3. Manner of Extending Order, Nominations, Acceptances. Notwithstanding any
provisions of Section 26(a) to the contrary, the Parties may submit Orders, Nominations and
Acceptances by telephone or email, provided that any Order, Nomination or Acceptance submitted by
telephone must be followed by timely confirmation by email.



4. Toll Fees and Payment. CIE shall be paid a toll fee of $*** for every gallon of
Biodiesel at standard temperature and pressure delivered to REG Marketing, produced at the Facility
from the Feedstocks delivered by REG Marketing. Payment shall be made as follows:




	 	(a)	 	The toll Fee under the terms of such Order or Nomination by wired funds to CIE
within one (1) business day of delivery of the Biodiesel to REG Marketing with respect
to such Order or Nomination (FOB Newton).






5. Co-Products. In consideration of services rendered hereunder, CIE shall also be
entitled to receive at no additional cost, all glycerin and other co-products produced as a result
of the processing of the Feedstocks.



6. Yield. In consideration of the Toll Fee and handling of co-products agreed upon,
CIE agrees to deliver to REG Marketing not less than 1 Gal of Biodiesel for every *** pounds of
Feedstocks delivered by REG Marketing to the Facility which equates to a weight yield of ***% (7.35
lbs biodiesel divided by *** lbs of feedstock). Yields shall be calculated based on aggregate bill
of lading for all Feedstocks delivered pursuant to this Agreement.



7. Feedstocks. The Feedstocks to be delivered to the Facility pursuant to this
Agreement shall comply with the specifications set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. Should REG
Marketing propose any other type of Feedstocks other than identified on Exhibit B, the Parties
shall agree upon the written specifications and minimum yield applicable to such additional
feedstock, and sign and attach such specifications and minimum yield as an addendum to Exhibit B.
Prior to accepting deliveries of Feedstocks CIE shall have the right at its expense to inspect and
test the tendered Feedstocks to determine if it meets the specifications required under this
Agreement, and if any such Feedstocks does not meet the required specifications then CIE shall have
the right to reject such Feedstocks and require REG Marketing, at its cost, to replace the same
with Feedstocks that meets the required specifications.



8. Biodiesel. The Biodiesel to be produced pursuant to this Agreement shall comply
with the specifications set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto. At REG Marketing’s request, two
(2) — one (1) litre samples of the Biodiesel to be delivered to REG Marketing by CIE shall be made
available for testing at REG Marketing’s cost, prior to REG Marketing picking up such Biodiesel.
Should inspection and testing determine that any Biodiesel does not meet the required
specifications (whether determined before or after such Biodiesel has been picked up by REG
Marketing, and including after delivery to REG Marketing’s customers), REG Marketing shall have the
right to reject such Biodiesel, and require CIE, at its cost, to replace the same with Biodiesel
that meets the required specifications.

9. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence upon its signature by the Parties,
and run until the 30th day of April, 2009. This Agreement shall continue thereafter on
a month to month basis unless and until notice of its termination is provided in writing by one
Party to the other Party at least one (1) month in advance of the termination date.



10. Title. Title to the Feedstocks delivered by REG Marketing pursuant to this
Agreement and title to the contractual amount of corresponding Biodiesel produced from such
Feedstocks shall at all times be and remain with REG Marketing.



11. Risk of Loss; Insurance. Risk of loss to the Feedstocks and the Biodiesel
produced therefrom shall at all times be borne by REG Marketing, and REG Marketing will maintain
such property insurance on the Feedstocks and the Biodiesel produced therefrom as REG Marketing

CIE and REG Marketing shall each, at its own cost and expense, obtain and maintain, during the
term of this Agreement, comprehensive general liability insurance, in minimum amounts of Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence for damage, injury and/or death to persons, and One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for damage and/or injury to property and Worker’s
Compensation Insurance as required by law. Such coverage shall be on a date of occurrence form,
and be provided by an insurance company reasonably satisfactory to the other Party. CIE and REG
Marketing shall each provide the other with proof of such insurance coverage prior to any
Feedstocks being delivered, such insurance naming the other Party as an additional insured, and
providing that the coverage represented thereby shall not be canceled nor modified unless at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given to the additional insured.



12. Inventory Reports. CIE will provide REG Marketing with daily reports showing the
receipt, usage and inventory of Feedstocks, and shipments, production and inventory of Biodiesel
produced.



13. Production Costs. Other than for the cost of the Feedstocks purchased and
delivered by REG Marketing, CIE shall be responsible for all costs of producing the Biodiesel
required under this Agreement, including without limitation all labor costs and the cost of
utilities, chemicals and other consumables used in such production.



14. Testing. CIE shall be responsible for the cost of testing to fully certify the

16. Protection of REG Marketing’s Title. In order to better evidence REG Marketing’s
ownership of the Feedstocks and the Biodiesel produced therefrom, CIE hereby authorizes REG
Marketing on its behalf, at any time and from time to time to file protective financing statements
in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction, which may include without limitation any initial
financing statements and amendments thereto that (i) describe the Feedstocks, and the Biodiesel
that is the subject of this Agreement, and (ii) contain any other
information required or appropriate to be included pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of
the state where filed, including that the organizational identification number of CIE is                     .
CIE agrees to furnish any such information to REG Marketing promptly upon request. CIE will not
purport to pledge, mortgage or create, or suffer to exist a security interest in the Feedstocks and
the Biodiesel that is produced therefrom, in favor of any third party, and CIE, upon the request of
REG Marketing or in response to any inquiry that may be made, will inform any lender, lessor or
other third party that has or may have a lien or security interest or any other interest in
property of CIE that REG Marketing is the owner of the Feedstocks and the Biodiesel that is the
subject of this Agreement.



17. Product Segregation. CIE shall be allowed to add additional Feedstocks owned by
CIE as needed to meet the quality and yield requirements hereunder, so long as such additional
Feedstocks have cold flow characteristics that are capable of meeting the cold flow specifications
set out on the applicable Order or Nomination, and the Biodiesel to be produced shall in any event
meet the specifications required hereunder, as modified by the Order or Nomination and Acceptance
applicable.



18. Failure to Process. If for any reason other than REG Marketing’s failure to
deliver Feedstocks as required under this Agreement (and other than a matter covered by the force
majeure provisions of this Agreement) CIE fails to process the Feedstocks in to the certified
Biodiesel within the time frame contemplated by this Agreement, CIE will pay to REG Marketing the
amount determined by first multiplying the number of pounds of Feedstocks delivered to CIE times
the applicable percentage yield under Section 6 and converting to gallons to determine the gallons
of Biodiesel which should have been processed (“Required Gallons”); second, subtracting the actual
gallons of Biodiesel received by REG Marketing from the Required Gallons to determine the number of
gallons which CIE failed to process (“Biodiesel Shortage”); and third, multiply the Biodiesel
Shortage by REG Marketing’s average market price per gallon of Biodiesel delivered by CIE to REG
Marketing up to such time of computation (or if none delivered another reasonable method of
determining the market value of Biodiesel FOB Newton as may be agreed by the Parties, or otherwise
determined if the Parties can not so agree).



19. Facility Shutdowns. CIE agrees to notify REG Marketing of any scheduled shutdowns
a minimum of thirty (30) days in advance. In the event there are any Facility shutdowns due to
unscheduled power or mechanical problems which will affect receiving or shipping schedules or are
anticipated to continue for twenty-four (24) hours or more CIE will notify REG Marketing as soon as
possible.



20. Tax Credits; Blending, Shipping & Loading. CIE will, at the request of REG
Marketing, blend the Biodiesel with petroleum diesel (supplied by CIE at its cost) to create B99.9
biodiesel at no additional charge to REG Marketing. Any excise tax or income tax credit or refund,
including any blender’s credit or refund (“Tax Credits”) relating to the Biodiesel delivered to REG
Marketing will be for the account of REG Marketing, and shall be submitted (as applicable) to the
United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or other appropriate entity by CIE, unless otherwise
requested by REG Marketing. CIE will retain the exclusive right to any CCC Bioenergy refund or
credit that the Biodiesel may become eligible for. CIE will not claim any other Tax Credits
relating to the Biodiesel delivered to REG Marketing without the written consent of REG Marketing.

In addition, CIE shall fulfill the requests regarding additives and load temperature as set
out on the “Shipping/Loadout Request” form supplied by REG Marketing and complete the loadout
information for each load of Biodiesel shipped, all as set out on the attached as Exhibit D hereto.



21. RINs and Biodiesel Certificates. CIE and REG Marketing shall cooperate with each
other to generate Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) for the gallons of Biodiesel produced
pursuant to this Agreement, with such RINs to be the property of REG Marketing. CIE and REG
Marketing shall also cooperate with each other to issue biodiesel certificates for the Biodiesel
produced pursuant to this Agreement, which certificates shall be suitable for REG Marketing’s use
in collecting the $1.00 per gallon blender’s tax credit. For purposes of clarity, all gallons for
these purposes shall be calculated on a temperature corrected basis (at 60° F).



22. Force Majeure. Neither Party hereto shall be liable for any delay arising from
circumstances beyond its control including acts of God, riot or civil commotion, industrial
dispute, fire, flood, drought, act of government, terrorist acts, war, or sabotage (except failures
or delays resulting from a lack of a Party’s funds), provided that the Party seeking to be excused
shall make every reasonable effort to minimize the delay resulting therefrom and shall give prompt
written notice of the force majeure event to the other Party. The obligations of the Party giving
notice, so far as they are affected by the force majeure event, will be suspended during, but not
longer than, the continuance of the force majeure event. The affected Party must act with
commercially reasonable diligence to resume performance and notify the other Party that the force
majeure event no longer affects its ability to perform under the Agreement.



23. Independent Contractor. CIE is acting hereunder and its services are rendered to
REG Marketing solely as an independent contractor. REG Marketing is not authorized and shall not
contract any obligations in the name of CIE as a result of this Agreement (the Parties
understanding that REG Marketing may have such authority as may arise from other contracts entered
in to by the Parties, and including that Management and Operational Services Agreement dated August
22, 2006 (“MOSA”)). CIE accepts full and exclusive liability for the payment of any and all
contributions or taxes for unemployment and workers’ compensation insurance, old age retirement
benefits, pensions and annuities now or hereafter imposed by any federal or state governmental
authority which are measured by wages, salaries or other remuneration paid to persons, and holds
harmless REG Marketing from any such liability. CIE agrees that in performing its duties
contemplated by this Agreement it shall comply with all applicable federal and state laws, orders
and regulations, and, to its knowledge, represents and warrants that the Facilities are in
compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations and OSHA standards which may apply to
the activities to be performed by CIE hereunder.




24. Confidentiality.




	 	(a)	 	“Confidential Information” of CIE and REG Marketing includes the terms of this
Agreement, the Feedstocks composition, the biodiesel specifications, all business
information of CIE and REG Marketing, including, but not limited to, their respective
pricing, supplier lists, quantities of supplies purchased, all processing and
manufacturing information of CIE and REG Marketing, all processes and information used

third party any Confidential Information not owned by it. Such confidentiality
obligations shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.






25. Default. Each Party will be entitled to all damages (including costs and
reasonable attorney fees incurred in enforcement of such Party’s rights hereunder) and other rights
and remedies available at law or in equity, in addition to any other remedies as may be provided in
this Agreement, upon the default or other failure to perform of the other Party; provided, however,
that before taking action to enforce such breach or terminating this Agreement the Party claiming
default or failure to perform shall first provide the defaulting Party with written notice
detailing the circumstances of its failure to meet its obligations hereunder and an opportunity to
cure such failure within ten (10) days of such notice.

	 	(b)	 	Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided to CIE and REG
Marketing in this Agreement, or otherwise available at law or in equity, shall be
cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or successively.







	 	(c)	 	Governing Law/Choice of Forum. This Agreement shall be deemed made and
entered unto in the State of Iowa and shall be governed and construed under and in
accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa without resort to said state’s conflict
of laws rules. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa, or if such
court lacks jurisdiction, the Iowa District Court for Story County, Iowa, shall be the
venue and exclusive proper forum in which to adjudicate any case or controversy arising
either, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement. The
Parties further agree that, in the event of litigation arising out of or in connection
with these matters, they will not contest or challenge the jurisdiction or venue of
these courts.







	 	(d)	 	Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified or amended unless a
written amendment to this Agreement is executed by REG Marketing and CIE.







	 	(e)	 	Severability. If any provision of this Agreement may be construed in
two ways, one of which would render the provision illegal or otherwise voidable and
unenforceable and the other of which would render the provision valid and enforceable,
such provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid and enforceable. The
language of all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to its fair
meaning and not strictly against REG Marketing or CIE. It is the intention of the
Parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent. In
the event that any court shall determine that any provision of this Agreement is
unenforceable as written, the Parties agree that the provision shall be amended so that
it is severable and they shall be interpreted and enforced as if all completely invalid
or unenforceable provisions were not contained in this Agreement. Partially valid and
enforceable provisions shall be enforced to the extent that they are partially valid
and enforceable.







	 	(f)	 	Captions. Section captions are used only for convenience and are in no
way to be construed as a part of this Agreement or as a limitation of the scope of the
particular sections to which they refer. Words of any gender used in this Agreement
shall include any other gender, and words in the singular shall include the plural
where the context requires.







	 	(g)	 	Assignment. Neither Party may assign any of its rights in or delegate
any of its duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other
Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party (“Assignor”) may without the need for
consent from the other Party assign any or all of its rights, duties and obligations
under this Agreement to another entity, or to such Party’s affiliate or successor
(collectively herein “Assignee”), if such Assignee expressly assumes all
obligations not otherwise remaining with Assignor hereunder, and Assignor
nonetheless remains responsible hereunder.

	 	(h)	 	Interpretation. This Agreement has been prepared after extensive
negotiation between the Parties hereto, and if any ambiguity is contained herein, then
in resolving such ambiguity, no weight shall be given in favor of or against either
Party solely on account of its drafting this Agreement.







	 	(i)	 	Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. This
Agreement together with the Exhibits referenced herein constitute the entire agreement
by and between the Parties and all prior written and verbal agreements, proposals,
representations and other communications between the Parties regarding this tolling
arrangement are superseded.







	 	(j)	 	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument, and may be executed and delivered by facsimile
signature or similar means, which shall be considered an original.







	 	(k)	 	Most Favored Terms. CIE represents and warrants as of the date hereof
and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof that none of the provisions
offered to any other person or entity is or will be more favorable to such person or
entity than those offered under this Agreement, and, if they are or become more
favorable to any other person or entity during the term of this Agreement or any
continuation or extension thereof, CIE shall give written notice thereof to REG
Marketing, and REG Marketing shall have the option (which option must be exercised by
written notice to CIE with ten (10) business days after notice thereof) to amend this
Agreement to include any such more favorable terms. If such option is exercised, CIE
and REG Marketing shall execute an appropriate written amendment to this Agreement.







	 	(l)	 	MOSA Fee. In view of the fact that this Agreement is to process
Feedstocks owned by REG Marketing for the benefit of REG Marketing, REG Marketing
agrees that CIE shall not be required to pay the variable fee of $***/gal under the
MOSA for the volume of Biodiesel processed for and delivered to REG Marketing under
this Agreement.
