     THIS AGREEMENT entered into as of this 15th day of June 2007 by and between
Chicago, Central and Pacific Railroad Company, hereinafter called (“RAILROAD”), whose post office
address is 17641 South Ashland Avenue, Homewood, Illinois 60430 and Western Dubuque Biodiesel, LLC
hereinafter called (“INDUSTRY”), whose post office address is P.O. Box 82, Farley, Iowa 52046.

     WHEREAS, INDUSTRY desires the use, operation and maintenance of approximately two thousand six
hundred and seventy-three (2,673) feet of track (“Track”) to serve INDUSTRY near Milepost 206.81
and 207.11 of the RAILROAD’s Dubuque Subdivision, City of Farley, State of Iowa and located
substantially as indicated in green and red between the points designed by the letters “A” to “D”
and “E” to “F” shown on the print dated May 04, 2007 attached hereto and which forms part hereof
(hereinafter called the “Agreement Plan”), and RAILROAD is willing to permit the same;

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

1. RIGHT-OF-WAY

     (a) INDUSTRY, without cost to RAILROAD, shall provide all the right-of-way and secure all
authority or permission, public and private, required for the operation of the Track in case and
insofar as the Track extends beyond RAILROAD’s property. INDUSTRY shall not construct or allow the
construction of any road (public or private), gate, tunnel, bridge, culvert, pit, gasoline, pipe or
other items on, over, under or along the Track or right-of-way without RAILROAD’s actual knowledge
in writing prior to any such construction. INDUSTRY accepts all responsibility for the
construction, maintenance, repair and removal costs for the foregoing items, as well as any
protective appliances required in connection with the operation of the Track.

     (b) INDUSTRY shall indemnify, defend and save harmless RAILROAD from and against any and all
claims, demands and causes of action of any party whatsoever and all cost and expense incident
thereto, including attorneys’ fees and costs, which may be sustained or incurred by RAILROAD
arising from the lack or failure of title of INDUSTRY to said right-of-way or failure to comply
with the foregoing covenant.

2. OWNERSHIP, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

     (a) RAILROAD shall own, have sole control of, and shall maintain, repair and renew, and keep
free and clear of snow, ice, weeds and similar obstructions that portion of the Track shown on the
Agreement Plan and as identified, in green, as from points “A” to “B” AND “C” to “D”.

     (b) INDUSTRY shall own and, at its own cost and expense, maintain, repair and renew, and keep
free and clear of snow, ice, weeds and similar obstructions, that portion of the Track as shown on
the Agreement Plan and as identified in red, as from points “B” to “C” and “E” to “F”. INDUSTRY
shall maintain said portion in a condition which will safely and satisfactorily accommodate the
equipment to be operated thereover by RAILROAD. In the event INDUSTRY shall fail to so maintain,
RAILROAD may refuse to operate and shall be under no obligation nor shall it have any liability if
it does not operate over said portion of the Track. Failure of RAILROAD to notify INDUSTRY of the
need of such repairs or RAILROAD’s continued operation over the Track shall not relieve INDUSTRY of
its obligation to maintain said portion of the Track in a safe condition and shall not relieve
INDUSTRY of any responsibility for

2

 

loss or damage resulting from its failure to so maintain. Further, INDUSTRY shall provide
adequate drainage and keep the area along and adjacent to said portion of the Track free and clear
of all ice and snow, materials, obstacles and debris so as to provide a safe workway for RAILROAD’s
employees. Any future changes in or extensions of the Track upon which RAILROAD would be expected
to operate railroad locomotives and cars thereover shall not be made by INDUSTRY without prior
written notice to RAILROAD’s Contract Administrator, or his authorized representative.

     (c) INDUSTRY shall pay all compensation, assessments, fees, taxes and other charges and agrees
to comply with all statutes and regulations required at any time by any federal, state or municipal
authority, person or corporation regarding the maintenance, operation and ownership of the Track
and the property in the vicinity thereof.

3. ADDITIONS, BETTERMENTS AND CHANGES TO TRACK

     (a) INDUSTRY shall pay to RAILROAD the cost and expense of all additions, betterments and
changes to the Track as, in the judgment of RAILROAD, may be necessary, including, but not limited
to, the cost of installation and maintenance of derails, signals and other safety devices and
changes rendered necessary by changes in RAILROAD’s tracks, property or operating requirements,
including a change of grade or alignment required by any federal, state or municipal law or
ordinance.

     (b) In addition, INDUSTRY shall pay to RAILROAD the cost and expense of any changes in or
additions to RAILROAD’s tracks and property made necessary by the construction, maintenance or
operation of the Track.

4. SERVICE & USE

     (a) RAILROAD shall have control of the operation of railroad locomotives and cars over the
Track, and shall have the right to enter upon the property of INDUSTRY, for the purpose of
operating and using the Track. RAILROAD shall deliver on the Track all freight in carloads
consigned to INDUSTRY and will place empty cars thereon for loading full carloads to be shipped by
INDUSTRY pursuant to tariff or contract rates. RAILROAD shall have the right to extend, cross and
connect with the Track, when such extension, crossing or connection does not unreasonably interfere
with service to INDUSTRY.

     (b) RAILROAD shall not be obligated to operate over the Track if prevented or hindered from
doing so by acts of God, public authority, strikes, riots, labor disputes or any other cause beyond
its control.

5. CLEARANCES

     (a) INDUSTRY shall not place, permit to be placed, or allow to remain, any material,
equipment, structure, pole, wire, cable or other obstacle or obstruction of any kind adjacent to
said Track at distances less than, nine (9) feet on straight track or ten (10) feet on curved
track, laterally of the center, or within thirty-five (35) feet vertically from the top of either
rail of the Track; nor shall it make, permit to be made, or allow to remain, any excavation
adjacent to the Track. The number of feet of clearance herein specified may be changed by RAILROAD
at any time to meet legal requirements by giving written notice thereof to INDUSTRY. Any such
approved RAILROAD change shall not relieve INDUSTRY from any risk arising from establishment of
clearance less than those herein above specifically described. Within 10 days after receipt of
such notice, INDUSTRY shall, at its own expense, proceed to make such changes as may be necessary
to comply therewith. If INDUSTRY shall fail to do so, RAILROAD shall have the option of making
such changes at the expense of INDUSTRY or

3

 

suspending service over the Track. Should RAILROAD exercise its option to make such changes,
INDUSTRY agrees to pay the cost and expense thereof.

     (b) RAILROAD acknowledges that the section of the Track, identified as the Close Clearance
Area on the Agreement Plan, does not meet the aforementioned clearance requirements. Appropriate
signage has been erected allowing RAILROAD to operate safely within this area.

6. INDEMNIFICATION

     (a) It is understood that the movement of railroad locomotives involves some risk of fire.
INDUSTRY agrees to assume responsibility for and to protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless
RAILROAD, its parent and affiliates and all its officers, directors, agents, invitees and employees
thereof (hereinafter referred to collectively in this Section 6 as RAILROAD), against loss or
damage (including costs of defense, settlement and attorneys’ fees) to property, other than
property of RAILROAD or rolling stock or lading belonging to third parties, arising directly or
indirectly from fire caused by locomotives operated by RAILROAD on or near the Track while serving
INDUSTRY, whether such loss or damage is caused or contributed to, in whole or in part, by the
negligence or strict liability of RAILROAD.

     (b) INDUSTRY further agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless RAILROAD, from
and against, and to assume payment in full of any and all liabilities, penalties, fines, demands,
claims, causes of action, suits and costs (including costs of defense, settlement and attorneys’
fees) which any or all of them may suffer or incur relating in any way to the Track or associated
right of way, whether caused or contributed to, in whole or in part, by the negligent act or
omission or strict liability of RAILROAD, as a result of:

	 	(i)	 	Damage to or loss of use of any public or private property
whatsoever; contamination of or adverse effects on the environment; or any
violation or alleged violation of statutes, ordinances, orders, rules or
regulations of any governmental entity or agency, directly or indirectly caused
by, or arising in whole or in part out of, any act or omission of INDUSTRY, its
employees, agents or representatives;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Bodily injuries, including death, to any person whomsoever
directly or indirectly caused by, or arising in whole or in part out of, any
act or omission of INDUSTRY, its employees, agents or representatives;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Bodily injuries, including death, to any trespasser or other
third party on the Track or associated right of way; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Violation by INDUSTRY of any provision of this Agreement.

     (c) In the event INDUSTRY fails to defend RAILROAD as specified herein, RAILROAD shall assume
such defense. INDUSTRY shall remain responsible for all costs thereof, including attorney’s fees,
and be bound by all judgments or settlements resulting therefrom.

     (d) The Comprehensive Environmental Responses, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (Public
Law 96-510), which imposes liability for contamination of or adverse effects on the environment,
contains no statute of limitations for the enforcement of liability arising under the Act. It is
therefore expressly agreed between the parties that the indemnity set forth in Paragraph 6 (b)(i),
as it relates to said Act, shall survive the expiration, termination, and any and all extensions
and assignments of this Agreement.

7. INSURANCE

     So long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, or until all of INDUSTRY’S Cars shall be
removed from the Track (whichever date is later), INDUSTRY shall obtain at its own cost and expense
and keep in full force and effect and maintain with companies satisfactory to RAILROAD,
Comprehensive General Liability Insurance insuring INDUSTRY against any and all damages, costs and
expenses resulting from or arising in connection with bodily injury (including death) to any person
and/or loss, damage or destruction of any property resulting from, growing out of or incidental to
this Agreement with limits of not less than FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000) combined single limit
for death or injury to each person and property damage. In the event the policy is a Claims Made
policy, coverage shall include an aggregate of TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000). The policy must
name RAILROAD as an Additional Named Insured and shall contain a waiver of subrogation provision
against RAILROAD, and to be so written that the insurers shall have no claim or recourse of any
kind whatsoever against RAILROAD or RAILROAD’s property. Said insurance also must not contain any
exclusions related to: (i) doing business on, near, or adjacent to railroad facilities or (ii)
loss or damage resulting from surface, subsurface pollution, contamination or seepage, or handling,
treatment, disposal, or dumping of waste materials or substances.

     The policy shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to RAILROAD
of cancellation of or modification to the policy. A duplicate copy of such insurance policy or
certificate of insurance shall be furnished to RAILROAD upon execution of this Agreement. Delivery
of the policy of insurance or certificate required by this section and RAILROAD’S acceptance
thereof is not intended to and shall not relieve, limit, affect, or modify INDUSTRY’S obligations
under this Agreement.

     It is further understood and agreed that, so long as this Agreement shall remain in force or
until all of INDUSTRY’S Cars shall be removed from the Track (whichever shall be later), RAILROAD
shall have the right, from time to time, to revise the amount or form of insurance provided herein,
as circumstances or changing economic conditions may require. RAILROAD shall give INDUSTRY written
notice of any such requested change at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of expiration of
the then existing policy or policies, which notice constitutes an amendment to this Agreement and
shall become a part hereof; and INDUSTRY agrees to thereupon provide RAILROAD with such revised
policy or policies.

8. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CARS

     INDUSTRY shall pay to RAILROAD the loss due to damage or destruction of car or cars placed on
the Track for loading or unloading by INDUSTRY while on the Track, whether due to the improper use
of said cars by INDUSTRY, or INDUSTRY’s agents or employees, or to fire, or to any other cause.

9. RESPONSIBILITY FOR LADING

     RAILROAD shall not be liable for damage or loss of any kind to goods, articles, or property of
any description that may be shipped by INDUSTRY over the Track until and unless the car or cars
containing such goods, articles, or other property, shall have been removed by RAILROAD and
transportation and shipping instructions given to RAILROAD, nor shall RAILROAD be liable or
responsible for any goods, articles or other property, of any description whatsoever, delivered by
it on the Track after the cars or cars containing the same is or are placed on the Track.

     10. ASSIGNMENT

5

 

     INDUSTRY shall not assign or transfer this Agreement, or any interest therein, or permit the
use of the Track, or any portion thereof, by any other person, firm or corporation, without the
prior written consent of RAILROAD. Any assignment or transfer of interest in contravention of this
provision shall be null and void. Subject to the above, this Agreement shall be binding upon the
parties, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

11. USE OF TRACK BY THIRD PARTIES

     INDUSTRY shall not lease to a third party, or otherwise grant to a third party the right to
use, all or a portion of the premises served by the Track, without the prior written consent of
RAILROAD, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. INDUSTRY shall promptly notify
RAILROAD in writing and INDUSTRY shall require such third party to execute an agreement with
RAILROAD covering use of all or a portion of the Track in a form satisfactory to Railroad, whereby
said third party agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions which apply to INDUSTRY
under this Agreement. It is understood, however, that execution of said agreement by said third
party shall not relieve INDUSTRY of any of its obligations under this Agreement. In the event
INDUSTRY fails to notify RAILROAD and fails to require such third party to execute an agreement,
all as heretofore provided, INDUSTRY shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless RAILROAD, as defined
in Section 6 (a), from and against any loss, cost, damage or expense which would have been the
responsibility of said third party had said third party executed an agreement with RAILROAD.

12. TERMINATION AND ABANDONMENT

     This Agreement shall be in effect from the date hereof until either RAILROAD or INDUSTRY shall
at any time serve notice to terminate this Agreement by giving sixty (60) days written notice to
the other party of its intention to do so. This Agreement shall run with the land upon which the
Track is located and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns
of the parties hereto. In the event INDUSTRY fails to utilize the Track for twelve (12)
consecutive months, RAILROAD may consider the Track abandoned. Any termination of this Agreement,
whether pursuant to this section or otherwise, shall be without prejudice to any rights or
obligations that may have accrued to either party prior to the termination.

13. TRACK REMOVAL

     Upon the termination of this Agreement, or if the Track be abandoned or be no longer used for
the purpose for which constructed, each of the parties hereto shall have the right to take up and
remove that portion of the Track owned by it without liability of any kind to the other party for
so doing. If a portion of the Track owned by INDUSTRY is constructed across or along a public
street, RAILROAD shall have the right to require INDUSTRY, at INDUSTRY’s sole cost and expense, to
remove the Track from the street and to restore the pavement, sidewalks, water mains, sewer and
other utilities located therein, by giving written notice to INDUSTRY prior to the expiration of
the term of this Agreement. INDUSTRY shall cause such work to be performed within ninety (90) days
after receipt of RAILROAD’s notice. If INDUSTRY fails to remove the Track and restore the
property, RAILROAD shall have the right to perform the work at the sole risk and expense of
INDUSTRY.

reactive or corrosive and that is regulated by any local, state or federal government or agency
thereof. “Hazardous Substance” includes any and all material or substances that are defined as

mainline track by INDUSTRY, INDUSTRY’s agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors or invitees,
or any related persons or entities. Any permitted storage of Hazardous Substances shall be in
compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and requirements of all
governmental authorities and the various departments thereof. If Hazardous Substances are used,
stored, generated, or disposed of on or in the Track or right of way as permitted above, or if
Hazardous Substances are used, stored, generated, or disposed of on, in or from the Track or right
of way in violation of local, state, or federal law, or if the Track or right of way or
surrounding, adjacent or nearby property becomes contaminated in any manner for which INDUSTRY is
legally liable, INDUSTRY shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless RAILROAD, as defined in Section
6 (a), from any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, liabilities, or losses
(including, without limitation, any and all sums paid for settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees,
consultant, and expert fees) arising during or after the term of this Agreement and arising as a
result of that use, storage, generation, disposal or contamination by INDUSTRY. This
indemnification includes, without limitation, any and all costs incurred because of any
investigation of contamination or violation of local state or federal law, or any cleanup, removal,
or restoration mandated by a federal, state or local government or agency thereof.

15. GENERAL TERMS

compliance or terminate this Agreement, or to terminate this Agreement for any subsequent breach
which may occur, or to enforce any other provision of this Agreement.

     (b) The waiver of a breach of any of the terms or conditions hereof shall be limited to the

Return document to: George A. Davis, Locher & Locher, 202 2nd Avenue NW, Box 7, Farley, lA 52046

WATER USE AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT is executed this 8th day of June, 2007, by and between the
CITY OF FARLEY, a municipal corporation (‘City”), and WESTERN DUBUQUE BIO-DIESEL GROUP (‘WDBD”),
which operates a bio-diesel fuel manufacturing facility in Farley, collectively the “Parties.”

     Now, therefore, it is mutually agreed as follows:

     1 MAXIMUM WATER USE

     WDBD shall monitor its water use and keep Water Use within the allocation of 150,000
gallons/day (“allocation”). It is understood that the City bears no responsibility for keeping
water use within the allocation. No additional water will be provided from the City’s water
allocation.

     2. MEASURES IF WATER USE IS EXCEEDED

     In the event that water use exceeds either the allocation for any year or one-fourth of the
allocation WDBD agrees to pay 1.25 times the normal rate for water above the agreed upon maximum.

     3 MINIMUM WATER USE

     WDBD agrees to a minimum usage of 50,000 gallons per day as the system improvements were
predicated on such. WDBD will receive a minimum bill for 50,000 gallons per day usage. The term of
this provision shall be until State Revolving Fund loan is paid in full.

     4. NONCOMPLIANCE WITH AGREEMENT

     If WDBD’s quarterly water use exceeds one-fourth of the allocation, or fails to take measures
to reduce water use (as set forth in Paragraph 2) WDBD shall be deemed to have breached this
Agreement. City shall send a letter to WDBD giving notice of the breach, and provide methods and a
time period within to rectify the breach, City may bring an action in the Dubuque County Court to
force compliance. The Parties agree that damages alone would be insufficient to compensate City,
and, as such, specific performance is the appropriate remedy for breach of this Agreement. If such
an action is necessary, or any other legal or administrative action is required to enforce the
terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to its attorneys’ fees incurred in
the action.

     5. TERM OF AGREEMENT

 

 

     This Agreement will be in effect as long as there is a water use permit in effect for the
City of Farley from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (“IDNR”).

     6 INDEMNIFICATION:

     WDBD agrees to indemnify, defend and hold City harmless from and against any and all costs,
liabilities, damages, expenses, or claims, including without limitation reasonable attorneys; fees,
arising from or in connection with WDBD’s performance or non-performance of this Agreement.

     7. AMENDMENTS 

     No alteration or variation of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall be valid
unless made in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

     8 PARTIAL INVALIDITY

     If any provision in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force without
being impaired or invalidated in any way.

     9. INTERPRETATION 

     Parties agree that this Agreement shall not be interpreted against the party who
prepared the Agreement, but shall be interpreted as prepared by both parties, equally.

     10. GOVERNING LAW

     This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Iowa, Dubuque County, and the City of Farley.

     11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

     This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the Parties hereto and supersedes any
and all prior agreements, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter thereof. Any
modifications of this Agreement will be effective only if it is in writing and signed by both
parties hereto.

     12 SUCCESSORS; RECORDING

     This Agreement shall bind and benefit the Parties and their successors. Upon execution, the
Parties will record this Agreement in the Office of the Dubuque County Recorder to provide notice
of the terms of this Agreement.

     The grant and other provisions of this easement shall constitute a covenant running with the
[and for the benefit of the GRANTEE, its successors and assigns.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the GRANTOR has executed this instrument this 8th
 day of June , 2007.
