	Funding of the Biofene Development Project.  In lieu of the application of Sections 2.7(a), (b), (c), (e) and (f) of the Agreement, the Parties hereby agree that the Biofene Development Project shall be funded solely under the Master Agreement, except as provided in Section 17 below.  The Parties agree that as of the Second Amendment Date, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Second Amendment, the Master Agreement, Stock Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Master Agreement) and Notes (as defined in the Master Agreement), neither Party shall have any obligation to pay for or reimburse the other Party for any R&D Costs incurred with respect to the Biofene Development Project. 

		
	B.
	Prior R&D Costs related to the Renewable Diesel Program and the Biojet Development Program; Collaboration IP.  The aggregate amount of US$63.3 million paid by TOTAL for R&D Costs for the Biojet Development Program and the Renewable Diesel Program (as defined in the First Amendment) were paid for R&D Activities. Such prior payments are not refundable to TOTAL, except in the case of the payments under the Renewable Diesel Program as expressly provided in the Notes.  Certain Inventions and related intellectual property were developed in connection with such R&D Activities prior to the date of this Second Amendment, and for clarity all such Inventions and related intellectual property shall be treated as Collaboration IP under the Agreement. 

		
	C.
	Section 2.7 of Agreement.  The Parties understand and agree that the funding described in Section 6.A above is in lieu of any other payments for the future conduct of any R&D Activities under the Agreement under the Biofene Development Project (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in the future), and as of the Second Amendment Date no further amounts are due or shall be due from TOTAL under Section 2.7(c) of the Agreement for any R&D Activities or R&D Costs for the Biofene Development Project or any other project (but for clarity Section 2.7(a) would govern any future projects under the Agreement other than the Biofene Development Project).

		
	7.
	Exclusivity.

		
	A.
	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8(a) of the Agreement, the one-year period described in the first sentence of Section 2.8(a) shall not apply where farnesene  is the Lead Compound and Farnesane Diesel Product or Farnesane Jet Product is the Product within the Biofene Development Project Scope. 

		
	B.
	The Parties agree that the following activities may be conducted during the term of the Biofene Development Project as described below, and for clarity agree that the limitations of  Section 2.3 of the Agreement shall not apply to such activities: 

		
	1.
	Permitted Activities. AMYRIS or TOTAL, as the case may be, may, itself or with Third Parties, conduct the activities listed below, and such activities shall not be 

6

treated as part of the Biofene Development Project: (i) hydrogenation of farnesene into farnesane for use in diesel fuels or jet fuels; (ii) certification of farnesane for use in diesel fuels, and (iii) certification of farnesane for use in jet fuels.

		
	2.
	Non-Collaboration IP.  With respect to activities conducted independently by one or both Parties under Section 7.B.1 above, any Invention(s) made or otherwise developed by a Party(ies) in connection with such activities shall solely owned by such Party (or in the case of joint Inventions, jointly), and all such Invention(s) shall be Non-Collaboration IP.

		
	3.
	Diesel Certification Activities. To avoid unnecessary duplication of any activities conducted independently by the Parties with respect to Section 7.B.1(ii) above, the Parties agree to coordinate their activities relating to certification (per ASTM or EN or other applicable standards) of Farnesane Diesel Product.  Each Party shall be responsible for its own costs incurred in connection with such activities. Any documentation and intellectual property made or otherwise generated in  connection with activities conducted in order to certify the Farnesane Diesel Product (“Diesel Certification Materials”) shall be solely owned by the Party developing such documentation and intellectual property. If the JV Company (or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees) uses the Diesel Certification Materials  to sell the Farnesane Diesel Product as certified, then the JV Company shall be obligated to repay to TOTAL and/or AMYRIS all documented amounts expended by such Parties in the creation of the applicable Diesel Certification Materials generated after the Second Amendment Date; provided however, for activities conducted by AMYRIS Brazil in furtherance of its business in Brazil, no reimbursement shall apply if the Brazil Business has been purchased by the JV Company. 

		
	4.
	Jet Certification Activities. The Parties intend to jointly conduct the activities relating to certification (per ASTM or DefSTAN) of Farnesane Jet Product. TOTAL shall be responsible for leading such activities and shall coordinate with AMYRIS to ensure that work being conducted by AMYRIS in Brazil is not duplicated.  Each Party shall bear the costs of the participation of its own personnel and consultants in such activities.  Any documentation and intellectual property generated by either Party in connection with activities conducted in order to certify the Farnesane Jet Product (the “Jet Certification Materials”) may be used, without charge (a) by AMYRIS to support its business development initiatives in Brazil, (b) by TOTAL.  If the JV Company uses the Jet Certification Materials to sell Farnesane Jet Product as certified, then the JV Company shall be obligated to repay to TOTAL and/or AMYRIS all documented amounts expended by such Party in generating the applicable Jet Certification Materials generated after the Second Amendment Date;  provided however, for activities conducted by AMYRIS Brazil in furtherance of its business in Brazil, no reimbursement shall apply if the Brazil Business has been purchased by the JV Company.

		
	5.
	Recovery and Purification Activities.  With regard to process development to recover and purify farnesene from fermentation broth for jet fuel applications, if the Management Committee approves independent development of such process development by TOTAL, TOTAL may conduct these activities at its expense, but such activities shall be considered conducted within the Biofene Development Project and the Agreement.  If the JV Company uses any Collaboration IP 

7

generated in connection with such activities by TOTAL to Manufacture the JV Products on a commercial basis, then the JV Company shall be obligated to repay to TOTAL all documented amounts expended by TOTAL or its Affiliates in generating the applicable Collaboration IP.  To the extent that AMYRIS resource constraints may prevent timely development of such recovery and purification processes, which would delay of the joint jet certification activities, then the Management Committee will endeavor to approve affirmatively the pursuit of this activity by TOTAL or an appropriate Third Party.

		
	C.
	Additional Licenses.  AMYRIS hereby grants to TOTAL  a non-exclusive, royalty-free license under the AMYRIS Farnesene IP (1)  to conduct the activities permitted under Section 7.B.1(i) of this Second Amendment; and (2) to conduct the activities permitted under Section 7.B.1(ii) and (iii) of this Second Amendment, in each case (1) and (2) in accordance with the Agreement.  For clarity, such license does not cover activities conducted after termination of the Biofene Development Project unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing.

		
	8.
	Material Transfer.  To facilitate the conduct of the permitted activities set forth in Section 7 of this Second Amendment, AMYRIS shall sell to TOTAL, at AMYRIS' actual manufacturing cost, such quantities of farnesene, farnesane and other farnesene derivatives as TOTAL may reasonably request during the term of the Biofene Development Project under an MTA that is substantially similar to the MTA template agreed by the Parties. 

		
	9.
	Additional Licenses to AMYRIS and JV.  

		
	A.
	Hydrogenation Patent Rights. With respect to any patent rights filed on results generated in the development activities conducted by TOTAL pursuant to Section 7.B.1(i) of this Second Amendment,  if requested by AMYRIS, TOTAL will grant to AMYRIS a non-exclusive, sublicenseable, royalty-bearing license, under patents resulting from TOTAL hydrogenation activities with farnesene and/or farnesene derivatives provided by AMYRIS, to the extent such patents  would enable AMYRIS to practice AMYRIS Farnesene IP that AMYRIS otherwise could not practice due to the claims of the TOTAL patents to Make and Sell (i) in the Excluded Markets, products derived from farnesene, or (ii) products other than those that compete with products commercialized by TOTAL or its Affiliates, on a country by country basis.  In the event that AMYRIS wishes to obtain a license for any such products, it may notify TOTAL of the proposed products and jurisdictions for which it wishes to obtain a license, and in such case, the Parties shall promptly consult regarding TOTAL's plans and activities with respect to such products and jurisdictions. If there is a disagreement regarding whether the products compete with those products commercialized by TOTAL or its Affiliates, as described in clause (ii), the senior executives shall as soon as possible meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disagreement. If they are unable to reach agreement on the behalf of the Parties such disagreement shall be resolved by arbitration.  With respect to any published patent applications or patents filed on results generated in the development activities conducted by TOTAL pursuant to Section 7.B.1(i) of this Second Amendment if requested by the JV Company, TOTAL will grant to the JV Company an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing (at a commercially reasonable rate) license, under published patent applications and patents resulting from TOTAL hydrogenation activities with farnesene and/or farnesene derivatives provided by AMYRIS conducted pursuant to Section 7 above, to develop 

8

and/or optimize the process of making farnesene from the Commercial Farnesene Strain and purifying and converting farnesene into farnesane, and to Make and Sell JV Products.  The foregoing license shall, with TOTAL's further written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, be sublicenseable to Third Party toll manufacturers. 

		
	B.
	Certification. With respect to any intellectual property rights arising out of the certification activities conducted by TOTAL pursuant to Section 7.B.1(ii) or (iii) of this Second Amendment, if requested by the JV Company, TOTAL will grant to the JV Company an exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free license, subject to reimbursement for the documented amounts described in Section 7.B.4 of this Second Amendment, under such intellectual property rights necessary to use the Jet Certification Materials and Diesel Materials, in each case as certified, as described in Section 7.B.1 of this Second Amendment and to Make and Sell Farnesane Diesel Product or Farnesane Jet Product, in each case as certified. With respect to any intellectual property rights arising out of the certification activities conducted by AMYRIS pursuant to Section 7.B.1(ii) or (iii) of this Second Amendment, if requested by the JV Company or by TOTAL (in the case of a TOTAL Buy-Out), AMYRIS will grant to the JV Company or to TOTAL (in the case of a TOTAL Buy-Out), an exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free license, subject to reimbursement for the documented amounts described in Section 7.B.1 of this Second Amendment under such intellectual property rights to use the Jet Certification Materials and Diesel Materials as described in Section 7.B.1 of this Second Amendment and to Make and Sell Farnesane Diesel Product or Farnesane Jet Product.

		
	C.
	Implementation of License Rights.  For any license described in this Section 9, if the JV Company, TOTAL (in the case of a TOTAL Buy-Out) or AMYRIS, as applicable, provides notice that it wishes to obtain a license as described therein, the  licensor and the licensee shall promptly negotiate in good faith royalty and other terms, which shall reflect market conditions for the licensed intellectual property rights. 

		
	10.
	TOTAL Go/No-Go Decisions.

		
	A.
	No-Go Decisions.  In the event that under the Master Agreement, TOTAL exercises No-Go Decision (including a Final No-Go Decision) for both JV Products, then concurrently (i) the Biofene Development Project shall terminate (if not already completed); and (ii) the Farnesane Diesel Product and the Farnesane Jet Product shall cease to be Products (and farnesene shall cease to be a Lead Compound for the Biofene Development Project) for the purposes of the Agreement. 

		
	B.
	Jet Go Decision.  In the case of a Jet Go Decision, the Farnesane Diesel Product shall then cease to be a Product for the purposes of the Agreement and shall cease to be a JV Product, but the Farnesane Jet Product shall continue to be a Product and a JV Product. In such case the Field thereafter shall no longer include diesel fuels.

		
	11.
	AMYRIS Included IP; JV Licenses.

		
	A.
	AMYRIS Farnesene Included IP and AMYRIS Hydrogenation IP as listed in Exhibit A shall be considered in the AMYRIS Included IP pursuant to Section 6.1(c) of the Agreement (without the need for the procedures set forth therein) solely for the 

9

Biofene Development Project for all purposes under the Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Second Amendment.  Any other Background IP or Non-Collaboration IP that is Controlled by AMYRIS or its Affiliates may be introduced as AMYRIS Included IP as per the Agreement.

		
	B.
	Notwithstanding the scope of the licenses to be granted to the JV Company pursuant to the Agreement, including Section 6.6(a) of the Agreement, if there is a Go Decision  with respect to the applicable JV Product by the deadline specified in the Master Agreement or a Jet Go Decision, in lieu of such licenses, each Party shall grant to the JV Company (or in the case of a TOTAL Buy-Out, AMYRIS shall grant TOTAL) for the JV Products the licenses as set forth on Exhibit B (the “License Terms”).  Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the definitive license agreement entered into by either Party and the JV Company shall not contain any terms inconsistent with the License Terms applicable to such Party or any material obligations in addition to those set forth in the License Terms as applied to such Party on the JV Company.

		
	C.
	Except in the case of a No-Go Decision prior to March 31, 2013, to provide certainty that the licenses decribed in Exhibit B above are available to the JV Company, no later than March 31, 2013,  each Party shall grant certain licenses on certain terms agreed by the Parties.  The Parties agree that the grant of such license from AMYRIS is a material factor in TOTAL's determination regarding whether to make a Go Decision.

		
	D.
	If there is a TOTAL Buy-Out, the licenses to be granted to the JV Company by AMYRIS shall be granted, pursuant to the License Terms, to any such entity(ies) as may be designated by TOTAL, in lieu of being granted to the anticipated JV Company. 

		
	12.
	AMYRIS Agreements with Third Parties. 

		
	A.
	AMYRIS has informed TOTAL that AMYRIS has received the following two grants from the U.S. government:  (i) Scale-Up and Mobilization of Renewable Diesel & Chemical Production from Common Intermediate Using US-Based Fermentable Sugar Feedstocks (IBR Cooperative Agreement), Award No. DE-EE0002869 (the “IBR Grant”) and (ii) Biocatalyst Development for the National Advanced Biofuels Consortium (NABC) Subcontract ZFT-0-40623-01 (the “NABC Grant”). AMYRIS has further informed TOTAL that none of the subject matter disclosed by the patents and patent applications listed on the Patent List was funded by either the IBR Grant or the NABC Grant, and TOTAL is relying on such representation in entering into this Second Amendment. 

		
	B.
	TOTAL acknowledges that it is possible that after the Second Amendment, AMYRIS may file one or more patent applications comprising Farnesene Production IP, which patent applications disclose inventions generated under either the IBR Grant or the NABC Grant, thereby subjecting such patent applications and any resulting patents and their use to certain restrictions and obligations to the United States government.  TOTAL acknowledges that the rights of AMYRIS, TOTAL and their respective Affiliates', and the rights of the JV Company with regard to the applicable patent applications and patents will be subject to any rights of the U.S. government or any other relevant government entity arising as a result of such grants (including march-in rights) and will be subject to any restrictions on such exploitation.  In such case, the 

10

Management Committee shall agree on how to mitigate or eliminate any adverse impact on the Parties and/or the JV Company.

C.   Before entering into any grant or contract that may provide any government or non-for profit entity any rights (e.g., rights provided to the U.S. Government under 35 U.S. 200 et seq. or any similar provisions of foreign law) to any patent application or patents resulting from work done in connection with such grant or contract that might be useful in connection with the conduct of the Biofene Development Project or to Manufacture farnesene to make JV Products or to Make and Sell JV Products, AMYRIS shall notify the Management Committee, which shall agree on how to mitigate or eliminate any adverse impact on the Parties and/or the JV Company. 

		
	13.
	Limitation of Rights to Use Farnesene Production IP from Licenses.  The Parties hereby agree that, notwithstanding the terms of the Agreement, (a) the licenses granted or to be granted to TOTAL in Section 6.3(b) of the Agreement will exclude the right for TOTAL to use Farnesene Production IP for further optimization of a Commercial Farnesene Strain other than by means of random mutagenesis, (b) the licenses in Section 6.2(c) and 6.3(a) of Agreement shall not apply to any JV Product, and (c)  the licenses in Sections 6.3(d) and (e) of the Agreement will not include the right of TOTAL to use Farnesene Production IP for the production of farnesene from fermentation of a Farnesene Strain and subsequent purification of farnesene to hydrogenation grade (but for clarity, this clause (c) is not intended to limit the licenses granted to TOTAL in Section 7.C of this Second Amendment or as may arise under the TOTAL Buy-Out or Article 4 of the Master Agreement or are otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing).

The foregoing limitation shall not limit or deprive TOTAL of any rights granted to TOTAL prior to execution of the First Amendment, or that may be granted to TOTAL under the Agreement with respect to (a) any Collaboration IP not made in connection with the Biofene Development Project Plan, or (b) with respect to any Product other than a JV Product.

EXHIBIT B
JV License Terms

License Grants from Amyris

		
	Definitions: 
	The defined terms used in this key term sheet shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement (including without limitation the Second Amendment) and the Master Agreement.

		
	License Grant:
	Amyris (and/or its applicable Affiliates) shall grant to the JV Company the following perpetual, license, which license shall be irrevocable except as follows:  Amyris may terminate the license only [*].  In the case of a dispute as to whether [*] has occurred, termination would be suspended until the resolution of the dispute and the license would terminate only if the arbitrator responsible for resolving such dispute determines that [*] has occurred and [*].  [*] Amyris may seek all remedies, available at law or in equity for any other such breaches, including such damages that it can prove it has suffered or will suffer, but not speculative or punitive damages. 

The license would be a non-exclusive, royalty-free license under the Amyris Farnesene IP to develop and/or optimize the process of making farnesene from the Commercial Farnesene Strain and to purify and convert farnesene into farnesane  and an exclusive, royalty-free license under the Amyris Farnesene IP to Make and Sell JV Products for use in the Field, in each case within the Territory, but Amyris retains (i) the right to conduct activities within the Improvement Scope as permitted under the Agreement and the conduct of the Biofene Development Project and (ii) the co-exclusive rights to sell JV Products in Brazil, subject to 
    

[*] Certain portions denoted with an asterisk have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

1

Section 4.1(b) of the Master Agreement, unless and until the Brazil Business is contributed to the JV Company in accordance with the Master Agreement. [*] 

For clarity, Amyris retains the right to Make and Sell products for use outside the Field, including the right to Manufacture farnesene for use in such other products. 
The licenses granted to the JV Company shall allow it to conduct licensed activities with the JV Products solely for use in the Field.  
The JV Company will covenant that it and its Affiliates and, if Total is a sublicensee of the JV Company, Total, shall not exercise the license outside the Field and will not knowingly sell JV Products to customers for use outside the Field and shall bind its other sublicensees to a written provision requiring compliance with the same principle and shall use [*] efforts to enforce such provision.  With regard to such provision, the JV Company shall afford third party beneficiary rights to Amyris analogous to the third party beneficiary rights described in the sublicense section below.

For clarity, within the permitted uses under the licenses, there shall be no volume or production limits on the foregoing licenses, and the licenses may be practiced by the JV Company and its sublicensees anywhere in the Territory.

The non-financial terms of License shall be no less favorable to the JV Company than licenses that Amyris and its Affiliates grant to other partners for the Manufacture of farnesene and/or farnesane.

The terms of the license shall include at least the following:  [*] 

[*] Certain portions denoted with an asterisk have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

2

[*]

All licenses granted to the JV Company shall remain in effect regardless of the equity ownership of the JV Company, and [*].

Each sublicensee shall be subject to a written sublicense agreement with the JV Company that contains [*].

[*] Certain portions denoted with an asterisk have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

3

Amyris would be a third party beneficiary with a right to enforce a material uncured breach of any of the provisions described in the preceding paragraph of any such sublicense agreement, to the extent that such a sublicensee breach relates to activities conducted with farnesene made by a Commercial Strain and the JV Company fails to act reasonably and as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances to address any such breach (provided that such failure to act expeditiously is not the result of any action or inaction on the part of Amyris).  For the avoidance of doubt, the proviso at the end of the previous sentence shall not be deemed to limit any rights of the members of the board of directors of the JV Company to act in the best interests of Amyris in making any determination as a director.  Amyris shall have analogous rights in the case of manufacturing subcontractors of the JV Company or its Affiliates or sublicensees if they have access to the Commercial Farnesene Strain.
        
		
	Technology Transfer:
	To facilitate the practice of the licenses granted to the JV Company, subject to reasonable confidentiality terms, use restrictions and material transfer provisions consistent with the aforesaid license and sublicense rights, at JV Company's expense, the following shall apply:

At least [*] during the term of the license, at the JV Company's expense, Amyris shall deliver to the JV Company any know-how within the Amyris Farnesene IP (in electronic and hard copy format) that was developed by, or otherwise came within the Control of, Amyris since the last disclosure to the JV Company, and provide to the JV Company a written description of any know-how sufficient to allow the JV Company to determine whether it wishes additional information regarding such know-how, and in such case, Amyris shall deliver to the JV Company any such additional requested know-how and other materials or information within the Amyris Farnesene IP. 

At the JV Company's request and expense, to facilitate the practice of the licenses granted to the JV Company, Amyris 

[*] Certain portions denoted with an asterisk have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

4

shall provide to the JV Company (or its designated sublicensee) training and on-site support (by persons directly involved in the development, use, scale-up and/or operation of the Amyris Farnesene IP to implement the practice of the Amyris Farnesene IP and achieve steady state production of farnesene and/or farnesane).

For clarity, the information disclosed in any such information transfer shall only be used pursuant to the license above.

Any intellectual property for which ownership is allocated to Amyris and/or Total under the Agreement shall be owned as set forth in the Agreement, subject to the licenses granted to the JV Company.  Any intellectual property that is not allocated to Amyris and/or Total under the Agreement and developed by or on behalf of 

[*] Certain portions denoted with an asterisk have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

the JV Company shall be owned solely by the JV Company (or its designee).

To allow the JV Company to be aware of the scope of the rights licensed to it, provided that the common interest agreement has been executed, Amyris shall provide the JV Company with periodic updates regarding Inventions (including intellectual property) generated in connection with the Biofene Development Project or that specifically relate to JV Products, decisions to file (or not file) patent applications with respect to such Inventions and the status of such any intellectual property filed with respect to Inventions.    

		
	Patent Enforcement:
	The JV Company shall be bound by the patent enforcement and defense provisions in the Agreement (as amended) and shall cooperate to effect such provisions; provided, however, that notwithstanding the Agreement, the following shall apply:

Amyris would have the first right (but not the obligation) to enforce any issued patent claiming the use of the JV Products in the Field, including without limitation (a) US patent No. [*] and/or US Patent No. [*] (and any foreign equivalents) or (b) any issued Patent(s) within the Collaboration IP developed by the JV Company, in each case against any Third Party infringement that would adversely affect the business of the JV Company relating to JV Products in the Field. At the request of Amyris or the JV Company, the JV Company and Amyris shall discuss means to cease any such infringement.  If Amyris fails to commence a proceeding to cease any such infringement within [*] of becoming aware of such an infringement, the JV Company shall have the right to commence and control proceedings to cease any such infringement.  In any such enforcement proceeding, the JV Company (or its assignee or sublicensee) or Amyris, as the case may be, shall join in any such proceeding, at the enforcing party's request and expense, or if required by applicable law. In such a case, Amyris and the JV Company shall seek to develop a litigation strategy that will [*].  For any intellectual property owned by the JV Company, the JV Company shall have the sole right to enforce and defend such intellectual property.

MEMBER AMENDED AND RESTATED
ETHANOL MARKETING AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of this 27th day of August, 2012,  and effective as of October 1, 2012 ("Effective Date") by and between RPMG, Inc., a Minnesota corporation ("RPMG"); and Homeland Energy Solutions, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company ("Member").

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, RPMG is a Minnesota corporation engaged in the business of marketing ethanol for the members of Renewable Products Marketing Group, LLC ("LLC") and others; and

WHEREAS, Member is the operator of a plant in Lawler, IA for the production of ethanol (the "Facility") and is a member of LLC; and

WHEREAS, as a condition to its membership in LLC, Member has agreed to market all of the ethanol intended for fuel use produced by Member at the Facility ("Ethanol") through RPMG and RPMG has agreed to market such Ethanol production; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement, for purposes of setting out the terms and conditions of the marketing arrangement;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.    Exclusive Marketing Representative. RPMG shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be the sole marketing representative for the entire Ethanol production of Member at the Facility during the term of this Agreement other than limited sales of E85 or other blendstock locally.

2.    Ethanol Specifications. All of the Ethanol produced by Member at the Facility for marketing by RPMG will, when delivered to a common carrier by Member, conform to the specifications described in the bill of lading, which may be A.S.T.M. D-4806 or such other specifications that may be, from time to time, promulgated by the industry for Ethanol.

3.    Purchaser/Seller. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1, Member shall sell to RPMG and RPMG shall purchase and market all Ethanol produced by Member at the Facility during the term of this Agreement. Delivery by Member to RPMG of all such Ethanol shall be made at the time the Ethanol crosses the loading flange at the Facility to either a railcar and/or tank truck; provided, however, if the annual production capacity at the Facility is in excess of 80 million gallons then delivery by Member to RPMG for Ethanol shipped by unit train ("Large Facility Unit Train") shall be made when RPMG receives the shipping documentation for the Large Facility Unit Train. Title to the Ethanol shall pass to RPMG when delivered as provided in this Section 3. The Ethanol will be marketed by RPMG as described in Section 7 below.

4.    Risk of Loss. RPMG shall be responsible for and shall bear the risk of loss of (subject to the terms of this Agreement) the Ethanol marketed for Member by RPMG from the time the product crosses the loading flange at the Facility in either a railcar or tank truck, provided that for Large Facility Unit Trains RPMG shall be responsible for and shall bear the risk of loss for Ethanol shipped by Large Facility Unit Train from the time that RPMG receives the shipping documentation for the Large Facility Unit Train.

1

5.    Specific Marketing Tasks. RPMG shall be responsible for and shall have complete discretion in the marketing, sale and delivery of all Ethanol produced by the Facility during the term of this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

		
	•
	Scheduling sufficient railcar, tank trucks and other transport;

		
	•
	Negotiating the rates and tariffs to be charged for delivery of production to the customer;

		
	•
	Promoting and advertising the sale of Ethanol;

		
	•
	Tracking delivery;

		
	•
	Negotiation of all purchase agreements with customers and any complaints in connection therewith;

		
	•
	Accounting for all sales and related expenses and collection of accounts, including any legal collection procedures as may be necessary; and

		
	•
	Hedging long and short Ethanol positions for the benefit of all Member participants and non-member participants in the Corridor Marketing Model.

6.    Negotiation of Ethanol Price. RPMG will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the best price for all Ethanol sold by it subject to the terms of this Agreement. RPMG shall have complete discretion to fix the price, terms and conditions of the sale of Member's Ethanol production that is sold and marketed as Indexed Gallons. RPMG shall obtain Member's prior approval of all sales of Ethanol from the Facility on a fixed price.

7.    Ethanol Marketing. A Member may elect in accordance with RPMG' s fixed price program prior to the delivery of Ethanol to have RPMG market and purchase Ethanol from Member on a fixed price ("Fixed Price Gallons"), or, if no such election is made with respect to any Ethanol, RPMG shall market and purchase the Ethanol production of Member as Indexed Gallons. All Ethanol other than Fixed Price Gallons shall be deemed "Indexed Gallons,"

(a)     Fixed Price Gallons. For the Fixed Price Gallons, RPMG shall purchase Fixed Price Gallons of Ethanol from the Member at a price per net gallon as agreed upon by RPMG and Member. Member's confirmation of the sale terms of Fixed Price Gallons shall be provided by SharePoint, e-mail or other written communication means (the "Confirmation"). RPMG shall pay Member for Fixed Price Gallons in an amount equal to the FOB fixed price multiplied by the number of Fixed Price Gallons of Ethanol delivered by Member to RPMG for the period less any applicable costs allocated to the Fixed Price Gallons calculated in the same manner as determined under the then applicable Corridor Netback Model (the "Net Fixed Price"). In addition to any other rights or remedies set forth herein, if Member fails to deliver any or all of the Fixed Price Gallons on the terms set forth on a Confirmation, RPMG shall be entitled to all remedies available at law or in equity, including damages, specific performances and/or attorneys' fees and costs, and RPMG shall be under a duty to mitigate damages.

(b)    Indexed Gallons. RPMG will market the aggregate production of the Indexed Gallons of contracting producers participating in the Corridor Netback Model based on the estimated production levels of all participants in the model by corridor. Determination of a producer's share of net revenue, allocation of expenses and payment shall be made by RPMG according to the Corridor Netback Model (the "Corridor Netback Model"). The Corridor Netback Model shall be used in calculating netback payments to Member and other LLC members and non-member participants in the Corridor Netback Model for all Ethanol sold by RPMG on behalf of Member, all other LLC member participants and non-member participants in the Corridor Netback Model (the "Netback Price"). Management of RPMG may make changes to the Corridor Netback Model to reflect changing economic circumstances on a monthly basis. Except as provided below, any changes shall be final 

2

and binding on all contracting producers participating in the Corridor Netback Model. In the event of a material loss of budgeted production due to shutdowns or slowdowns of participants in the Corridor Netback Model, management of RPMG may propose to the Corridor Committee alternative costs allocations in the Corridor Netback Model that reflect allocation of costs based on Production (as defined in Section 14 below), rather than actual production.

(c)    Payment of the Advance Rate. Each calendar month, RPMG shall estimate for Member (in good faith) the Netback Price per gallon of all Ethanol that RPMG has committed to sell to its customers through operation of the Corridor Netback Model and the Net Fixed Price per gallon of all Ethanol that RPMG has sold to its customers on a fixed price (the "Advance Rate"). For Ethanol shipped by truck, single manifest railcars, or unit trains (other than Large Facility Unit Trains), RPMG, on a weekly basis, will pay Member on an average net 10-day basis (e.g. payment on Wednesday shall be for Ethanol delivered during the seven-day period ending on the previous Wednesday) an amount equal to the Advance Rate multiplied by the number of Fixed Price Gallons or Indexed Gallons delivered by Member to RPMG for the period. For Ethanol shipped by Large Facility Unit Train, RPMG shall pay Member within two (2) business days from the time that RPMG receives the shipping documentation for the Large Facility Unit Train.

(d)    Reconciliation to the Actual Netback Price or Net Fixed Price. At the end of each calendar month, promptly after the information necessary to calculate the Netback Price becomes available, RPMG will calculate the actual Netback Price for the preceding month under the Corridor Netback Model to reflect the actual selling price for all Indexed Gallons sold during the month and the actual expenses incurred during the period (the "Actual Netback Price") and RPMG will calculate the actual Net Fixed Price. Within ten (10) business days after the end of each month, RPMG shall furnish to Member a reconciliation of the Advance Rate to the Actual Netback Price or Net Fixed Price for the preceding month. If the Advance Rate paid to Member exceeded the applicable Actual Netback Price or Net Fixed Price, Member will refund to RPMG the overpayment within ten (10) days after receipt of the reconciliation. On the other hand, if the Advance Rate paid was less than the applicable Actual Netback Price or Net Fixed Price owed to Member, then RPMG will pay Member the additional amount owed to Member within ten (10) days after the completion of the reconciliation. In lieu of Member directly refunding any amounts to RPMG by separate payment, and RPMG directly refunding any amounts to Member by separate payment, under this Section 7 the parties by mutual agreement may offset or apply such amounts to subsequent payments to be made within RPMG's standard billing and payment cycle.

(e)    ***

(f)    Other Adjustments. For Indexed Gallons, Member shall be charged monthly directly through a reduction in the Netback Price for any demurrage charges incurred by RPMG for railcars and other direct distribution expenses that result from actions taken by Member and that are not reflected in the Corridor Netback Model. For Fixed Price Gallons, Member shall be charged monthly directly through a reduction in payments from RPMG for any demurrage charges incurred by RPMG for railcars and other direct distribution expenses that result from actions taken by Member.

(g)    The Corridor Committee. If Member disagrees with a decision of RPMG management, the Advance Rate, or the Netback Price as generated by the Corridor Netback Model, it may within ten (10) business days after the decision of RPMG management, or the distribution date of the Advance Rate or Netback Price, as applicable, appeal by written notice the decision to the Corridor Committee who shall approve or modify the decision of RPMG management or approve or modify the Advance 

*** Confidential material redacted and filed separately with the Commission.

Rate or Netback Price by a majority vote of all the members of the Corridor Committee. The Corridor Committee shall deliver such determination in a written response to Member within ten (10) business days of the written notice of appeal. Any modification in the Advance Rate or Netback Price approved by the Corridor Committee shall be promptly presented to all contracting producers participating in the Corridor Netback Model. The Corridor Committee shall consist of at least one representative from each of the primary corridor markets (as determined based on delivery destination in the Corridor Netback Model) in which there are more than two members in such corridor market and one representative who shall collectively represent all members who are in corridor markets in which there are two or few members. The members of LLC, voting by corridor market group, shall elect Corridor Committee representatives annually, provided that if a Corridor Committee representative is no longer a member of the primary corridor market that he or she was elected to represent he or she shall no longer serve as a Corridor Committee representative and the members of such corridor market shall elect a new Corridor Committee representative.

(h)    Appeal. If Member disagrees with a decision of the Corridor Committee, it may within ten (10) business days after the decision of the Corridor Committee, appeal the decision by written notice to LLC's Board of Governors, which shall approve or modify the decision of the Corridor Committee by a majority vote of all the governors of the Board that represent LLC members participating in the Corridor Netback Model. The decision of the Board of Governors shall be final and binding.

(i)    Audit. Within ninety (90) days following the end of RPMG's fiscal year end, Member shall have the right to inspect the books and records of RPMG for the purpose of auditing calculations of the aggregate netback paid to member participants and non-member participants in the Corridor Netback Model for the preceding year. Member shall give written notice to RPMG of its desire to conduct an audit and RPMG shall provide reasonable access to all financial information necessary to complete such audit and shall allow Member to meet with RPMG's auditors to review such information. The audit shall be completed within forty-five (45) days after the completion of RPMG's annual audit, but no later than one hundred fifty (150) days following the end of RPMG's fiscal year. The cost of the audit shall be the responsibility of Member unless the auditor determines that RPMG underpaid Member by more than *** for the period audited, in which case RPMG shall pay the cost of the audit. If the auditor determines that RPMG underpaid Member, RPMG shall promptly pay such underpayment to Member and if the auditor determines that RPMG overpaid Member, Member shall promptly pay the overpayment to RPMG. The determination of the auditor shall be final and binding on both parties. If Member fails to exercise its right to audit as provided in this Section 7 for any year, it shall be deemed to have waived any claim to dispute the Actual Netback Price paid for such year, unless Member has provided notice to RPMG of a claim to dispute the Actual Netback Price paid for such year.

8.    Marketing Fee. Member shall pay to RPMG a Marketing Fee equal to ***. The Marketing Fee shall be paid on a monthly basis. In lieu of Member directly paying any amounts to RPMG by separate payment, the parties may offset or apply such amounts to subsequent payments to be made within RPMG's standard billing and payment cycle.

9.    Committed Sales. ***, Member has the right to declare, in writing, the volume of its eligible gallons of Ethanol projection to produce and sell during the calendar quarter. If Member does not notify RPMG in writing, the volume of Member's eligible gallons of Ethanol for sale each month in the calendar quarter will be deemed to be an amount equal to Member's last twelve month sales divided by twelve. *** Member acknowledges that from time to time RPMG may enter into forward contracts to sell Ethanol beyond

the current calendar quarter. Member acknowledges that such commitments are in the best interest of all members and non-member participants. Nothing set forth in this Section 9 shall relieve or modify a Member's obligation to deliver any or all of the Ethanol set forth on a Confirmation for the sale of Fixed Price Gallons.

10.    Ethanol Shortage/Open Market Purchase. If (i) Member fails to deliver any or all of the Ethanol set forth on a Confirmation for the sale of Fixed Price Gallons; (ii) ***; (iii) *** (iv) ***, RPMG may purchase Ethanol in the marketplace at such reasonable price and in such reasonable quantity as is required to meet its delivery obligations; provided, however, that prior to making such purchases RPMG shall communicate the terms and conditions of such purchases to Member and Member shall have the right to meet such terms and conditions or fulfill its original commitment. If Member is unable or unwilling to deliver the required Ethanol on such terms and conditions, RPMG may complete the purchase. If RPMG does so, and as a result thereof incurs a financial loss, including incidental costs, Member will reimburse RPMG for any such loss or RPMG may elect to set off such financial loss against future payments to Member over a period not to exceed twenty four (24) months. In addition to the foregoing, if Member fails to deliver any or all of the Ethanol set forth on a Confirmation for the sale of Fixed Price Gallons, RPMG shall be entitled to all remedies available at law or in equity, including damages, specific performances and/or attorneys fees and costs, and RPMG shall be under a duty to mitigate damages.

11.    Obligation to Deliver after Termination. Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement under Sections 13(a) through 13(d), Member shall be obligated to deliver to RPMG for marketing by RPMG in accordance with this Agreement, for the *** following termination of this Agreement, all of the Ethanol produced by Member.  Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, Member shall be obligated to deliver to RPMG Ethanol to cover Member's percentage of any committed production of Indexed Gallons as set forth in Sections 9 and 10 during the *** following termination of this Agreement and any fixed price contracts for which a Member has delivered a Commitment.

12.    Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated as provided in Section 13.

13.    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated under the circumstances set out below.

(a)    Termination of Membership. This Agreement shall automatically terminate when Member ceases to be a member of LLC.

(b)    Termination for Intentional Misconduct.

(c)    Termination for Uncured Breach. If one of the parties breaches the terms of this Agreement, the other party may give the breaching party a notice in writing which specifically sets out the nature and extent of the breach, and the steps that must be taken to cure the breach. After receiving the written notice, the breaching party will then have thirty (30) days to cure the breach, if the breach does not involve a failure to market and distribute Ethanol as required by this Agreement. If the breach involves a failure to market and distribute Ethanol as required by this Agreement, then the breaching party will have five (5) days after receiving the written notice to cure the breach. If the breaching party does not cure any breach within the applicable cure period, then the non-breaching party will have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately.

In addition, upon the conclusion of Member's delivery obligations to RPMG under Section 11, Member shall accept assignment from RPMG of the lease or leases for the number of 28,800 gallon capacity railcars (or such equivalent number of gallons of larger capacity railcars) determined as follows:

16.    Good and Marketable Title. Member represents that it will have good and marketable title to all of the Ethanol marketed for it by RPMG and that all Ethanol delivered will be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.

17.    Subordination. In order to satisfy the payment obligations in Section 7 of this Agreement, RPMG may be required to obtain working capital from financing resources.

of Member under this Agreement.

At the request of RPMG, Member agrees to provide RPMG with samples of its Ethanol produced at the Facility so that it may be tested for product quality on a regular basis.

20.    Insurance. During the entire term of this Agreement, Member will maintain insurance coverage with insurance companies having at least an AM Best Company rating of A -7. At a minimum, Member's insurance coverage must include:

Member will not change its insurance coverage during the term of this Agreement if such change results in a failure to maintain the minimums set out above, and the policies shall provide that they may not be cancelled, nonrenewed or terminated without at least 30 days prior written notice to RPMG.

21.    Indemnification and Hold Harmless - Member. If a third party makes a claim against RPMG or any person or organization related to it as the result of the actions or omissions of Member or any person or organization related to Member including, but not limited to, claims relating to the quality of Ethanol produced by Member or the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, Member shall indemnify RPMG and its related persons and organizations and hold them harmless from any liabilities, damages, costs and/or expenses, including costs of litigation and reasonable attorneys fees which they incur as a result of any such claims.

22.    Indemnification and Hold Harmless - RPMG. The indemnification obligations of the parties under this Agreement will be mutual and RPMG, therefore, makes the same commitment to indemnify Member and its related persons or organizations to the extent any claim is made against Member or its related person arising out of any action or omission of RPMG.

23.    Survival of Terms/Dispute Resolution. All representations, warranties and agreements made in connection with this Agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement. The parties will, therefore, be able to pursue claims related to those representations, warranties and agreements after the termination of this Agreement, unless those claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Similarly, any claims that the parties have against each other that arise out of actions or omissions that take place while this Agreement is in effect will survive the termination of this Agreement. This means that the parties may pursue those claims even after the termination of this Agreement, unless applicable statutes of limitation bar those claims. The parties agree that should a dispute between them arise in connection with this Agreement, the 

7

parties will, in good faith, attempt to mediate the dispute prior to the filing of any action in any court. Such mediation session shall occur at a place that is mutually agreeable, and shall be conducted by a mediator to be selected by mutual agreement of the parties.

24.    Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under and enforced in accordance with Minnesota law, without regard to conflicts of law principles.

25.    Assignment. Member may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement, whether by way of a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, merger, sale of equity interests, a change of control or as a matter of law, without the prior written consent of RPMG, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of RPMG. Member shall be entitled to collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement solely for financing purposes, and RPMG shall agree to such collateral assignment provided that the lender accepts the terms of this Agreement or other mutually agreeable terms.

26.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties covering everything agreed upon or understood in the transaction and supersedes any other preexisting agreement between the parties with respect to the same subject matter. There are no oral promises, conditions, representations, understandings, interpretations, or terms of any kind as conditions or inducements to the execution hereof or in effect between the parties, except as expressed in this Agreement. No change or addition shall be made to this Agreement except by a written document signed by both parties hereto.

27.    Execution of Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties on any number of separate counterparts, and by each party on separate counterparts, each of such counterparts being deemed by the parties to be an original instrument; and all of such counterparts, taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

28.    Duplicate Counterpart Includes Facsimile. The parties specifically agree and acknowledge that a duplicate hereof shall include, but not be limited to, a counterpart produced by virtue of a facsimile ("fax") machine or a .pdf copy.

29.    Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

30.    Confidential Information. The parties acknowledge that they will be exchanging information about their businesses under this Agreement which is confidential and proprietary, and the parties agree to handle that confidential and proprietary information in the manner described in this Section 30.

(a)    Definition of Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" will mean information related to the business operations of Member or RPMG that meets all of the following criteria:

(i)    The information must not be generally known to the public and
must not be a part of the public domain;

(ii)    The information must belong to the party claiming it is confidential
and must be in that party's possession;

(iii)    The information must have been protected and safeguarded by the party claiming it is confidential by measures that were reasonable under the circumstances before the information was disclosed to the other party;

8

(iv)    Written information must be clearly designated in writing as "Confidential Information" by the party claiming it is confidential before it is disclosed to the other party, except that all information about costs and prices will always be considered Confidential Information under this Agreement without the need for specifically designating it as such; and

(v)    Verbal Confidential Information which is disclosed to the other party must be summarized in writing, designated in writing as "Confidential Information" and transmitted to the other party within ten (10) days of the verbal disclosure.

(b)    Limitations on the Use of Confidential Information. Each party agrees that it will not use any Confidential Information that it obtains about the other party for any purpose other than to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(c)    The Duty not to Disclose Confidential Information. The parties agree that they will not disclose any Confidential Information about each other to any person or organization, other than their respective legal counsel and accountants, without first getting written consent to do so from the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party or anyone to whom such party transmits Confidential Information in accordance with this Agreement is requested or required (by deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil investigative demand or similar process, SEC filings or administrative proceedings) in connection with any proceeding, to disclose any Confidential Information, such party will give the disclosing party prompt written notice of such request or requirement so that the disclosing party may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, and the receiving party will cooperate with the disclosing party to obtain such protective order. The fees and costs of obtaining such protective order, including payment of reasonable attorney's fees, shall be paid for by the disclosing party. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the disclosing party waives compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement, the receiving party (or such other persons to whom such request is directed) will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which, in the opinion of legal counsel, is legally required to be disclosed, and upon the disclosing party's request, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that the confidential treatment will be accorded to such information. This will be the case both while this Agreement is in effect and for a period of five (5) years after it has been terminated.

(d)    The Duty to Notify the Other Party in Cases of Improper Use or Disclosure. Each party agrees to immediately notify the other party if either party becomes aware of any improper use of or any improper disclosure of the Confidential Information of the other party at any time while this Agreement is in effect, and for a period of five (5) years after it has been terminated.

(e)    Protection of the Confidential Information. Each party agrees to develop effective procedures for protecting the Confidential Information that it obtains from the other party, and to implement those procedures with the same degree of care that it uses in protecting its own Confidential Information.

(f)    Return of the Confidential Information. Immediately upon the termination of this Agreement, each party agrees to return to the other party all of the other party's Confidential Information that is in its possession or under its control.

31.    Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be considered delivered in all respects when it has been delivered by hand or mailed by
