 SUBSTRATE SUPPLY AND COOPERATION AGREEMENT

 This Substrate Supply and Cooperation Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of the 13th day of July, 2006, between Microgy, Inc., a Colorado corporation with offices at One Cate Street, 4th Floor, Portsmouth NH, 03801 USA (“Microgy”) and Liquid Environmental Solutions Corporation, a Delaware corporation
with offices at 12626 High Bluff Drive, Suite 240, San Diego, CA 92130 (“LESC”). Microgy and LESC may be referred to herein each as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”. 
 RECITALS 
 A. Microgy develops,
constructs, owns and operates anaerobic digester biogas production facilities (each, a “Biogas Facility”) that utilize manure and other organic waste streams for the production of biogas. 
 B. The addition of suitable organic waste streams as substrate in the digestion process employed by the Biogas Facilities can enhance biogas production.

 C. Microgy seeks to arrange for the consistent and cost-effective supply, handling and delivery of suitable substrates, in such quantities
as is required for the start-up and operation of its Biogas Facilities. 
 D. LESC, through its affiliates, collects, treats and disposes of
non-hazardous liquid waste streams, some of which may be suitable substrates for use in Microgy’s Biogas Facilities. 
 E. LESC seeks to
lower the cost of operations of its affiliates, including waste processing costs, disposal fees, transportation costs, as well as gain access for its affiliates to additional customer markets by expanding its waste disposal options. 
 F. LESC is committed to protecting the environment and seeks ways to convert non-hazardous liquid waste streams into alternative energy sources, as
opposed to more traditional methods of processing and disposal. 
 G. The Parties believe that cooperation between them regarding the supply,
handling and delivery of substrates could generate significant economic and market benefits for each of them. 
 H. The Parties further
believe that cooperation between them with respect to financing arrangements and business development opportunities will be to their mutual benefit.

 2. General Undertakings & Relationship of the Parties. 
 (a) This Agreement contemplates a strategic relationship between the Parties in which the parties will cooperate closely with respect to identifying and
exploiting synergies between their respective businesses, with the goals of securing the cost-effective supply of Substrate to Biogas Facilities (other than Excluded Facilities) and of creating efficiencies or new business opportunities for LESC.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party is a partner, joint venturer or Affiliate of the other party as a result of this Agreement. Each Party is acting hereunder as an independent contractor and has no power or authority to bind the other
Party to any obligation or commitment, whether written or oral. 
 (b) Microgy hereby grants to LESC a right of first offer to supply its
existing and future Biogas Facilities (other than Excluded Facilities). Microgy will provide LESC with at least nine (9) months’ advance written notice of the anticipated Operational Date of a Biogas Facility (a “New Facility
Notice”). Each New Facility Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail a description of the proposed Biogas Facility, together with its estimated Substrate Requirements, including amounts and types of Substrates and anticipated schedule for
such requirements. Within two (2) months following receipt of the New Facility Notice, LESC will provide Microgy with a Substrate Supply Plan for the proposed Biogas Facility. If the Applicable Quantity set forth in the Substrate Supply Plan is
100% of the Substrate Requirements for Biogas Facility in question, and the Substrate Supply Plan is otherwise reasonable, LESC will be the exclusive supplier of Substrate to such Biogas Facility, and LESC shall thereafter be obligated to supply,
and Microgy will be obligated to accept, the Substrate Requirements of the Biogas Facility in accordance with the Substrate Supply Plan. In the event that the Applicable Quantity set forth in a Substrate Supply Plan is less than 100% of the
Substrate Requirements for the Biogas Facility in question, Microgy may (i) reject such Substrate Supply Plan or (ii) accept such Substrate Supply Plan by notifying LESC of such acceptance within two (2) months of receiving the
Substrate Supply Plan for such Biogas Facility. In the event that Microgy accepts such Substrate Supply Plan, LESC shall be required 
  

 3 

 to supply to Microgy, and Microgy will be required to accept exclusively from LESC, the Applicable Quantity at the
applicable Biogas Facility in accordance with the Substrate Supply Plan, and Microgy shall have the right to seek alternative sources of Substrate for such Biogas Facility to up to the amount of the difference between the Substrate Requirements for
such Biogas Facility and the Applicable Quantity. 
 (c) The parties hereby agree that LESC shall be the exclusive supplier of, and LESC
hereby commits to supply, 100% of the Substrate Requirements for the Huckabay Ridge Facility, the Mission Facility, the Rio Leche Facility and the Gallo-Columbard Facility. The parties agree to work together in good faith to formulate a Substrate
Supply Plan for each such facility. 
 (d) Within five (5) days of the Operational Date for a Biogas Facility, LESC shall commence
delivery of the Substrates to such Biogas Facility by its Affiliates consistent with the accepted Substrate Supply Plan for such Biogas Facility. Microgy shall provide adequate facilities to receive such material in the amounts contemplated by the
applicable Substrate Supply Plan. 
 (e) LESC shall deliver Processed Grease to the Biogas Facilities at [**************] a Fuel
Surcharge[**********************************************************************************************]. 
 (f) As Substrate sources (other
than Processed Grease) are identified, the Parties shall work together in good faith to determine whether to proceed with the collection of materials and to negotiate in good faith a revenue and/or cost-sharing structure with respect to the supply
of such Substrates hereunder. 
 (g) Microgy and LESC shall coordinate their planning efforts with respect to Substrate Requirements for
future Biogas Facilities (other than Excluded Facilities) and shall work together in good faith to permit LESC to meet the Substrate Requirements for each such contemplated project. 
 (h) In the event that LESC (i) fails to supply the Applicable Quantity to a Biogas Facility (after the expiration of any applicable cure periods
hereunder) or (ii) Microgy reasonably believes that LESC cannot supply the Applicable Quantity to a Biogas Facility (or LESC fails to give Microgy reasonable assurances of its ability to do so), LESC shall no longer be the exclusive supplier of
the Applicable Quantity to such Biogas Facility, and Microgy shall be entitled to obtain Substrate from other sources, provided that, if LESC has made good faith efforts to supply the Applicable Quantity, then Microgy will work with
LESC in good faith to assist LESC in identifying other sources of Substrate in order to meet its supply obligations hereunder. 
 3.
Permitting; New Grease Trap Processing Facilities. 
 (a) The Parties shall work together to determine the nature of any required
permits, and preferable methods for obtaining those permits, for the Biogas Facilities to accept the various types of Substrates. LESC shall provide reasonable permitting assistance, as requested by Microgy, on a consulting basis, without charge,
other than for reimbursement for its direct, out-of-pocket costs of providing such assistance. 
  

 4 

 (b) The Parties shall work together to explore co-location by LESC or its affiliates of Grease Trap Waste
processing facilities (to be owned and operated by LESC or its affiliates) at Biogas Facilities. The Parties will work together to determine whether the applicable rules and regulations of the environmental regulatory authorities would otherwise
require that Microgy or MST have a permit in order to receive and process untreated Grease Trap Waste directly. The co-location of any such Grease Trap Waste processing facility shall be subject to the mutual agreement of LESC and Microgy or such
Affiliate of Microgy as owns or controls the Biogas Facility in question. 
 4. Quality of Substrate; Indemnification. 
 (a) Prior to acceptance of Substrates delivered by LESC or its Affiliates at a Biogas Facility, Microgy, MST or the applicable Affiliate of Microgy, will
test the Substrates to determine whether the Substrates, as delivered, are suitable for use in the Biogas Facility. If accepted, title to the Substrate will pass to Microgy upon delivery and LESC and its Affiliates will have no further
responsibility or liability for the Substrate except as otherwise provided in Section 4(b), below. LESC shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the Substrates it delivers, or causes to be delivered, to the Biogas Facilities will meet the
pre-established suitability requirements for use in the Biogas Facility. LESC or its Affiliate will make available to Microgy any manifesting or other information necessary to determine the source of the Substrate, if the Substrate is not Processed
Grease. Without limiting the foregoing, LESC shall provide Microgy with a description of the composition of the Substrate included in each shipment, together with representative samples of such Substrate for such testing as Microgy may reasonably
deem necessary or appropriate. 
 (b) LESC shall indemnify Microgy and its Affiliates for any actual damage or loss sustained by Microgy or
the applicable Affiliate of Microgy as a result of the failure of any shipment of Substrate to conform to the description or samples provided due to LESC’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Except in the case of fraud, intentional
misrepresentation, deliberate action or inaction intended to cause damage or other tortious conduct, the forgoing indemnification specifically excludes indirect, consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages or losses, including but not
limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, or other intangible losses that may be incurred by Microgy or its Affiliates. 
 5.
Additional Areas of Cooperation. 
 (a) As appropriate, the Parties will collaborate with respect to the identification, analysis and
development of financing and business development opportunities, taking into account the relationship of such opportunities to their respective businesses and the synergies and efficiencies to be derived from such collaboration. 
 (b) On an ongoing and regular basis, the Parties shall provide one another with access to revenue, cost, contact and other relevant information
concerning the sources of Substrates 
  

 5 

 (other than Processed Grease) in order to allow the ongoing implementation, review and verification of the related
cost-sharing or revenue-sharing arrangements implemented pursuant to this Agreement. 
 6. Term and Termination. 
 (a) Term. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 6(b), this Agreement shall be in effect for an initial term of ten (10) years
commencing on the date hereof, and shall automatically renew for successive five (5) year renewal periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights and obligations of the parties to supply and accept Substrate at each Biogas Facility pursuant
to this Agreement shall continue, with respect to such Biogas Facility, for the Applicable Term. 
 (b) Termination. This Agreement
may be terminated as follows: 
 (i) By either Party in the event the other party materially breaches this Agreement and such breach
remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach by the non-breaching party (or, if the nature of the breach means that it is not reasonably curable within thirty (30) days, because the breaching
party has not commenced curative activities), provided however, that if any such breach relates only to a particular Biogas Facility, then this Agreement may be terminated only with respect to such Biogas Facility; 
 (ii) By either Party with twelve (12) months’ notice prior to the end of the initial term or the end of any successive 5-year term thereafter;
or 
 (iii) By the written agreement of both parties.

the Company for “cause” (as defined below), the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such discharge. “Cause” shall mean willful misconduct by the Participant or willful failure by
the Participant to perform his or her responsibilities to the Company (including, without limitation, breach by the Participant of any provision of any employment, consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non-competition or other similar agreement
between the Participant and the Company), as determined by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. The Participant shall be considered to have been discharged for “Cause” if the Company determines, within 30 days after the
Participant’s resignation, that discharge for cause was warranted. 
  

	4.	Agreement in Connection with Public Offering. 

 The
Participant agrees, in connection with an underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, (i) not to sell, make short sale of, loan, grant any options for the purchase
of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock held by the Participant (other than those shares included in the offering) without the prior written consent of the Company or the underwriters managing such initial underwritten public offering
of the Company’s securities for such number of days (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration statement as the managing underwriters or the Company may require, and (ii) to execute any agreement reflecting
clause (i) above as may be requested by the Company or the managing underwriters at the time of such offering. 
  

	5.	Tax Matters. 

 (a) Withholding. No Shares
will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this option unless and until the Participant pays to the Company, or makes provision satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any federal, state or local withholding taxes required by law to be withheld
in respect of this option. When the Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act, Participant may satisfy such tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery of shares of Common Stock owned by Participant; provided, however, that the total tax
withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll
taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income). The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Participant. 
 (b) Disqualifying Disposition. If the Participant disposes of Shares acquired upon exercise of this option within two years from the Grant Date or
one year after such Shares were acquired pursuant to exercise of this option, the Participant shall notify the Company in writing of such disposition. 
  

	6.	Nontransferability of Option. 

 This option may not
be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent

and distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Participant, this option shall be exercisable only by the Participant. 
  

	7.	Provisions of the Plan. 

 This option is subject to
the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this option. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused
this option to be executed under its corporate seal by its duly authorized officer. This option shall take effect as a sealed instrument.
