                               OPERATING AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of this 24th day of February, 2005, by
and between Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. ("Southern Star") and East
Kansas Agri-Energy, LLC (Interconnecting Party), hereinafter sometimes
individually referred to as a "Party" or collectively referred to as the
"Parties":

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

       WHEREAS, Interconnecting Party desires to have constructed the necessary
facilities to establish the Interconnect Point described herein; and

       WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth their respective rights and
responsibilities with respect to the design, construction, ownership, operation
and maintenance of the proposed facilities, all in accordance with the
provisions contained herein;

       NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the material
covenants and agreements herein contained, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

               CONSTRUCTION, OWNERSHIP, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

1.1    Upon receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, Southern Star shall
construct, install, operate, and maintain the side valve, orifice meter,
regulation, flow computer, flow control, SCADA equipment, valves and other
appurtenances necessary to tap the Southern Star mainline and related facilities
at the Interconnect Point to be acquired by Interconnecting Party (hereinafter
referred to as the "Facilities"). Interconnecting Party shall provide Southern
Star an easement for said site and any other land rights, including the rights
of ingress and egress, necessary for Southern Star to perform its duties under
this Agreement. The Facilities shall be capable of delivering a minimum of 0
Mcf/d and a maximum of 4,000 Mcf/d at designed conditions. Southern Star agrees
to design the Facilities and will furnish Interconnecting Party with the
appropriate drawing and agreement for the acquisition of this easement.

Any and all acquisition documents related to the Facilities, including
assignment documents related thereto, must be submitted to Southern Star's Land
personnel in draft form for review within twenty (20) business days of the date
of execution of this agreement. Southern Star's Land personnel shall review said
documents and provide written approval, comments or rejection of the same to
Interconnecting Party, no later than ten (10) business days after receipt of
such documents by Southern Star. Interconnecting Party shall deliver executed
copies of said documents to Southern Star within twenty (20) business days of
receipt of such approval from Southern Star; PROVIDED, however, the Parties
acknowledge that no such easement rights have yet been acquired. In the event
such easement rights require a longer period of time for acquisition,

                                      - 1 -
<Page>

whether by voluntary conveyance or condemnation, than provided herein,
Interconnecting Party shall deliver such easement rights as soon as commercially
reasonably after such acquisition. Interconnecting Party hereby agrees that
should the date of submission of such easements be more than twenty (20) days
from the date of execution of this agreement the in-service date stated in
Section 4.2 below shall be delayed by an equal number of days. The easements
shall be in a form satisfactory to Southern Star, in Interconnecting Party's
customary form or substantially in the form of the document attached hereto as
ATTACHMENT A. Interconnecting Party shall acquire the land rights utilized for
the above-ground metering station facility and shall assign, transfer, or
reserve said land rights to Southern Star. The acquisition documents may include
additional rights needed by Interconnecting Party for the operation and
maintenance of its equipment and facilities connected to or associated with the
Facilities.

1.2    Southern Star shall retain ownership of the Facilities and the Facilities
shall become a part of Southern Star's integrated pipeline system.

1.3    The point of measurement (referred to throughout as the "Interconnect
Point") shall be located on Southern Star's DT-5 pipeline in Anderson County, KS
near Garnett, KS. The Interconnect Point is described as the asset boundary that
is either side of an insulating flanged set or insulating joint between
Interconnecting Party's pipeline system and the Facilities.

1.4    At Interconnecting Party's sole cost and expense, Interconnecting Party
agrees to acquire right-of-way, and install, maintain, own, and operate a
pipeline connecting to the Facilities at the Interconnect Point.

It is agreed and understood by Interconnecting Party that the above-described
Interconnect Point may have to be relocated. Southern Star shall not be
responsible for any cost directly or indirectly incurred by Interconnecting
Party, for any relocation of the Interconnect Point.

1.5    Interconnecting Party shall at no time operate any part of its facilities
in a manner that detrimentally affects Southern Star's measurement of gas. In
the event Interconnecting Party's operating pressure affects Southern Star's
measurement, Interconnecting Party shall immediately cease taking gas at the
Interconnect Point hereunder until the operating pressures are corrected so as
not to affect Southern Star's measurement.

1.6    Interconnecting Party shall provide and thereafter maintain, downstream
of the Interconnect Point, all pipelines, gas heaters, filter separators,
odorization, controls, over pressure protection and other facilities, of
sufficient capacity, to transport and utilize gas for its requirement. Title to
all facilities so installed by Interconnecting Party shall be and remain with
Interconnecting Party.

1.7    Southern Star has no duty or responsibility whatsoever, express or
implied, under this Agreement, nor does it otherwise assume or undertake any
duty, to provide Interconnecting Party with odorized gas. Absent an express,
written agreement to the contrary adopted by the Parties, Southern Star, in its
discretion, is free to provide or not provide odorized gas to Interconnecting
Party. At most locations, Southern Star delivers gas without odorization and
such gas may NOT

                                     - 2 -
<Page>

have a distinctive odor. If Interconnecting Party receives odorized gas, said
gas is odorized for purposes that are completely separate and unrelated to this
Agreement.

1.8    Interconnecting Party may elect to discontinue the work under this
Agreement by providing Southern Star written notice of said discontinuance at
any time prior to the time the Facilities are placed in service. In the case of
such event, Interconnecting Party shall reimburse Southern Star for all related
costs and expenses theretofore incurred, or committed to be incurred, prior to
such discontinuance; provided, however, Southern Star agrees that it shall use
reasonable efforts to mitigate the costs to be reimbursed by Interconnecting
Party, including, but not limited to, seeking refunds from vendors for materials
acquired for the work and transferring materials acquired for the work (along
with the associated costs) to other projects where practicable; and, provided
further, that the amount reimbursed by Interconnecting Party shall not exceed
the actual installed cost plus any applicable tax gross-up which Interconnecting
Party would have been obligated to pay if the work had been completed plus any
reclamation costs incurred by Southern Star and any applicable tax gross-up.

                                   ARTICLE II

                          QUALITY AND RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1    The gas delivered by Southern Star at the Interconnect Point under the
Pipeline Transportation Agreement(s) shall be at the varying pressures that
exist in Southern Star's pipeline from time to time, but in no event in excess
of its maximum allowable operating pressure.

2.2    The gas quality and measurement sections (GQ&M Sections) of Southern
Star's FERC Gas Tariff shall be the standard the Parties are obligated to meet
for the purposes of this Article II. Interconnecting Party is hereby deemed to
be the Party, in addition to Southern Star, against which the GQ&M Sections
apply for the purposes of this Agreement, regardless of the naming convention
utilized in such GQ&M Sections whether Interconnecting Party, shipper or any
other.

                                   ARTICLE III

                             REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS

3.1    Interconnecting Party hereby agrees to pay the actual cost of
construction of the Facilities.

3.2    The cost of the Facilities contemplated under this Agreement is estimated
to be $312,471, less a $25,000 deposit previously provided to Southern Star by
Interconnecting Party for engineering costs.

3.3    Interconnecting Party shall issue funds to Southern Star for the total
estimated cost of $312,471 less the $25,000 deposit ($287,471). Southern Star
shall provide its accounting of the actual cost of construction within one
hundred twenty (120) days of the completion of the project. In the event the
actual cost of the installed Facilities is less than the total amount prepaid

                                      - 3 -
<Page>

by Interconnecting Party, such difference shall be refunded to Interconnecting
Party. In the event the actual cost of the installed Facilities is greater than
the total amount prepaid by Interconnecting Party, Southern star shall invoice
Interconnecting Party for the difference. Interconnecting Party hereby agrees to
pay the actual cost of construction of the Facilities, including any tax
gross-up applicable to contributions in aid of construction, less the total of
all prepayments made within ten (10) business days of the receipt of such
invoice

3.4    Interconnecting Party shall have the right, upon ten (10) days advance
written notice, to audit and examine, at any reasonable time during normal
business hours, the books and records of Southern Star, to the extent necessary
to verify Southern Star's actual costs or the accuracy of any invoice submitted
to Interconnecting Party or any statement or computation made under or pursuant
to provisions of this Agreement. Any such audit maybe initiated at any time, but
must be initiated not later than twelve (12) months after the later of (i) the
completion of construction of the Facilities or (ii) Interconnecting Party's
receipt of Southern Star's final invoice for reimbursement. In the event that
Interconnecting Party and Southern Star determine that the audit reveals
discrepancies, errors, or costs that were not incurred in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, the accounts shall be adjusted appropriately and any
payments found to be due to Interconnecting Party or Southern Star shall be made
within ten (10) business days of such account adjustment.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                      DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF FACILITIES

4.1    DESIGN - Southern Star shall design the Facilities to be installed and
develop the necessary drawings and specifications for the construction of the
Facilities. The design and specifications shall be in accordance with
requirements of all applicable governmental bodies having jurisdiction.

4.2    CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION - Southern Star shall construct and install
the Facilities in accordance with standard industry practices. Such installation
may require taking an existing pipeline out of service or reducing the operating
pressure of the pipeline. In the event Southern Star determines that (i) such
installation will cause an interruption of service, or (ii) the lowering of
operating pressure will disrupt the normal operation of its pipeline system,
Southern Star shall not perform such installation work until the same can be
performed without any interruption of service or until the lowering of the
operating pressures will not disrupt the normal operation of Southern Star's
pipeline system. Southern Star will use reasonable efforts to meet an in-service
date of six (6) months from the date of execution of this Agreement.

(a)    Various permits, licenses, authorizations, approvals, rights-of-way and
easements, will be required for the construction and operation of the Facilities
(the "Required Rights"). Southern Star shall obtain, or be assigned, transferred
or reserved by Interconnecting Party, all necessary Required Rights for the
Facilities prior to the installation of any facilities hereunder.

(b)    In the event Southern Star is unable to secure the necessary Required
Rights, other than those certain rights to be assigned by Interconnecting Party,
in accordance with Southern Star's accepted practice of acquiring the Required
Rights, Southern Star shall have the right to cancel and terminate this
Agreement, upon at least twenty (20) days prior written notice, so long as such
notice is provided to Interconnecting Party within ninety (90) days of execution

                             IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star) does NOT maintain your
natural gas service line and you must maintain the line to prevent hazardous
conditions. Natural gas is highly flammable and explosive and leaks can endanger
lives and property. Your service line extends from Southern Star's meter to
provide natural gas service at your location. All or most of the line is
typically buried.

POTENTIAL HAZARDS

Federal regulations require Southern Star to warn you of the following
conditions or hazards:

-    SOUTHERN STAR DOES NOT MAINTAIN INTERCONNECTING PARTIES BURIED PIPING.

-    IF INTERCONNECTING PARTIES BURIED PIPING IS NOT MAINTAINED, IT MAY BE
     SUBJECT TO THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS OF CORROSION AND LEAKAGE.

-    BURIED GAS PIPING SHOULD BE --

       PERIODICALLY INSPECTED FOR LEAKS;
       PERIODICALLY INSPECTED FOR CORROSION IF THE PIPING IS METALLIC; AND
       REPAIRED IF ANY UNSAFE CONDITION IS DISCOVERED

-    WHEN EXCAVATING NEAR BURIED GAS PIPING, THE PIPING SHOULD BE LOCATED IN
     ADVANCE AND THE EXCAVATION DONE BY HAND.

-    PLUMBERS AND HEATING CONTRACTORS CAN ASSIST IN LOCATING, INSPECTING, AND
     REPAIRING BURIED PIPING.

You should also be aware of the following:

Odorized natural gas has a strong odor, but certain conditions can prevent you
from detecting odorized gas. For example, the odor may be reduced by seepage
through the ground or by corrosion in the pipes or you may be unable to smell
the odor even if others can. The presence of a strange or unusual odor is a
warning, but hazardous conditions can exist even if no odor is detected.

Other signs of gas leaks include a continuous bubbling in wet ground, a patch of
dead vegetation in a green area or flames coming from the ground. A white cloud
of fog, a hissing or roaring sound, or frozen patches on the ground may indicate
a leak from Southern Star's main Southern Star.

Although the federal warning requirements apply only to buried piping, leaks can
occur in aboveground piping or devices. Leaks can also occur indoors from pipes
or appliances or from unlit appliances (such as stoves and heaters) or pilot
lights.

                                     - 10 -
<Page>

If you suspect a leak, leave the area on foot. Turn off all nearby machinery
(but do not go into a fog or near a hissing leak to turn off machinery) and
extinguish any cigarettes. Do not create a spark or flame. Call Southern Star at
1-800-324-9696 or your local law enforcement/emergency number.

Learn and follow safety procedures when working on your gas lines or gas
appliances. Contact Southern Star if you need to have your gas shut off at the
