        THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT is entered into as of November 29,

                                    RECITALS

        A. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser is
purchasing from the Company a Warrant to Purchase Stock (the "Warrant") pursuant
to which Purchaser has the right to acquire from the Company the Shares (as
defined in the Warrant).

        B. By this Agreement, the Purchaser and the Company desire to set forth
the registration rights of the Shares all as provided herein.

               NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises,
covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto mutually
agree as follows:

        1. Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

              1.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 1:

                      (a) The term "register," "registered," and "registration"
refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration
statement or similar document in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness
of such registration statement or document;

                      (b) The term "Registrable Securities" means (i) the Shares
(if Common Stock) or all shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable or
issued upon conversion of the Shares and (ii) any Common Stock of the Company
issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or
other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect
to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, any stock referred to in (i).

                      (c) The terms "Holder" or "Holders" means the Purchaser or

               1.2 Company Registration.

                      (a) Registration. If at any time or from time to time, the
Company shall determine to register any of its securities, for its own account
or the account of any of its shareholders, other than a registration on Form S-1
or S-8 relating solely to employee stock option or purchase plans, or a
registration on Form S-4 relating solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction, or a
registration on any other form (other than Form S-1, S-2, S-3 or S-18, or their
successor forms) or any successor to such forms, which does not include
substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a
registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities, the Company
will:

                             (i) promptly give to each Holder written notice
thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company
intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or
other state securities laws); and

                             (ii) include in such registration (and compliance),
and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities
specified in a written request or requests, made within 30 days after receipt of
such written notice from the Company, by any Holder or Holders, except as set
forth in subsection 1.2(b) below.

                      (b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company
gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to subsection 1.2(a)(i). In such event the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to this subsection 1.2 shall be conditioned upon such
Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All
Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company and the other shareholders distributing their
securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting by the Company.

              1.3 Expenses of Registration. All expenses incurred in connection
with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 1
including without limitation, all registration, filing and qualification fees,
printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and
expenses of any special audits incidental to or required by such registration,
shall be borne by the Company except the Company shall not be required to pay
underwriters' fees, discounts or commissions relating to Registrable Securities.
All expenses of any registered offering not otherwise borne by the Company shall
be borne pro rata among the Holders participating in the offering and the
Company.

              1.4 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration,
qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder participating
therein advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration,
qualification and compliance and as to the completion thereof. Except as
otherwise provided in subsection 1.3, at its expense the Company will:

                                       2
<PAGE>

                      (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause
such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep
such registration statement effective for up to 120 days.

                      (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement.

                      (c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities owned by them.

                      (d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith
or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent
to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

                      (e) In the event of any underwritten public offering,
enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual
and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder
participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.

                      (f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing.

              1.5     Indemnification.

                      (a) The Company will indemnify each Holder of Registrable
Securities and each of its officers, directors and partners, and each person
controlling such Holder, with respect to which such registration, qualification
or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Rights Agreement, and each
underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter of the
Registrable Securities held by or issuable to such Holder, against all claims,
losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereto)
arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of
a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document
(including any related registration statement, notification or the like)
incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any
omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, or any
violation or alleged violation by

                                       3
<PAGE>

the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, ("Exchange Act") or any state securities law applicable to the Company
or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act
or any such state law and relating to action or inaction required of the Company
in connection with any such registration, qualification of compliance, and will
reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, and
each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each person who
controls any such underwriter, within a reasonable amount of time after incurred
for any reasonable legal and any other expenses incurred in connection with
investigating, defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or
action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
subsection 1.5(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
claim, loss, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without
the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);
and provided further, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to
the extent that any such claim, loss, damage or liability arises out of or is
based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information
furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder or
underwriter specifically for use therein.

                      (b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by or
issuable to such Holder are included in the securities as to which such
registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the
Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if any, of the
Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other
such Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners and each person
controlling such Holder, against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in
any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such directors,
officers, partners, persons or underwriters for any reasonable legal or any
other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling
any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent,
but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement)
or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument
duly executed by such Holder specifically for use therein; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.5(b) shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or
action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided further, that the
total amount for which any Holder shall be liable under this subsection 1.5(b)
shall not in any event exceed the aggregate proceeds received by such Holder
from the sale of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in such
registration.

                      (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this
subsection 1.5 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required
to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such
Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be
sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the

                                       4
<PAGE>

defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that
counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim
or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense at such party's expense; and provided further, that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, unless such failure resulted in
prejudice to the Indemnifying Party; and provided further, that an Indemnified
Party (together with all other Indemnified Parties which may be represented
without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate
counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if
representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the
Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such
claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such
claim or litigation.

              1.6 Information by Holder. Any Holder or Holders of Registrable
Securities included in any registration shall promptly furnish to the Company
such information regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed
by such Holder or Holders as the Company may request in writing and as shall be
required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance
referred to herein.

              1.7 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to Holders
the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the
sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the
Company agrees at all times to:

                      (a) make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, after 90 days after the
effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of
its securities to the general public;

                      (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and
other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
requirements); and

                      (c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities,
to furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the
Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144
(at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration
statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general
public), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it
has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents
so filed by the Company as the Holder may reasonably request in complying with
any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing the Holder to sell any such
securities without registration.

                                       5

              1.8 Transfer of Registration Rights. Holders' rights to cause the
Company to register their securities and keep information available, granted to
them by the Company under subsections 1.2 and 1.7 may be assigned to a
transferee or assignee of a Holder's Registrable Securities not sold to the
public, provided, that the Company is given written notice by such Holder at the
time of or within a reasonable time after said transfer, stating the name and
address of said transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being assigned. The Company may
prohibit the transfer of any Holders' rights under this subsection 1.8 to any

Securities under this agreement may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively, and either for a
specified period of time or indefinitely), and with the same consent the
Company, when authorized by resolution of its Board of Directors, may enter into
a supplementary agreement for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement;
provided, however, that no such modification, amendment or waiver shall reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Registrable Securities without the consent of all of
the Holders of the Registrable Securities. Upon the effectuation of each such
waiver, consent, agreement of amendment or modification, the Company shall
promptly give written notice thereof to the record holders of the Registrable
Securities who have not previously consented thereto in writing. This Agreement
or any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by

change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, except to the extent
provided in this subsection 2.1.

respects by the laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to

                                OPTION AGREEMENT
                                ----------------

          THIS OPTION AGREEMENT ("Option Agreement") is entered into as of
September 22, 2001, by 5 C'S FARM, INC. an Ohio [corporation] and WILLIAM A.
CLELAND, SR., an individual, hereinafter collectively referred to as "Owner" in
favor of NORTHWEST ETHANOL, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, hereinafter
referred to as "Purchaser."

         1. GRANT OF OPTION. The parties referred to in this Option Agreement as
the "Owner" collectively own 49.1 acres of real property located in Defiance
county, Ohio, which real property is described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and
incorporated herein (the "Owner's Parcel"). In consideration of the payment of
the Option Fee (as hereinafter defined) to Owner by Purchaser, Owner hereby
grants to Purchaser the sole and exclusive right and option (the "Option") to
purchase all or a portion of the Owner's Parcel, together with all improvements
and appurtenances thereto. In the event that Purchaser desires to purchase less
than all of the Owner's Parcel, Purchaser shall have the right to designate that
portion of the Owner's Parcel to be purchased, such area to be designated on the
Survey contemplated by Section 6(c) hereof. That portion of the Owner's Parcel
to be purchased by Purchaser, whether all or a portion of the Owner's Parcel, is
herein referred to as the "Premises."

          2. TERM. The Option may be exercised by the Purchaser at any time on
or before 5:00 P.M. on March 31, 2002 or, if extended by Purchaser pursuant to
the provisions of Paragraph 3 hereof, on or before September 30, 2002. Purchaser
shall exercise the Option by giving written notice to Owner at the following
address:                                            05327 Thiel Road
                                                    Hicksville, Ohio 43526 .

         3. OPTION FEE. On the date hereof, Purchaser agrees to deliver to Owner
the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) (the "Option Fee"). In the event that
Purchaser has not exercised the Option prior to March 31, 2002, Purchaser may
deliver to Owner, on or before such date, an additional option fee of Five
Hundred Dollars ($500.00) (the "Additional Deposit") in consideration of which
Owner shall extend the term of the Option for an additional six (6) month
period. Purchaser's failure to deliver the Additional Deposit on or before such
date shall terminate the Option and Owner shall be entitled to retain the Option
Fee. In the event that Purchaser exercises the Option, the Option Fee and, if
applicable, the Additional Deposit shall be applied to the purchase price of the
Premises.

          4. FAILURE TO EXERCISE OPTION. If Purchaser does not exercise the
Option, Owner shall retain the Option Fee, but the Additional Deposit, if
applicable, shall be refunded to Purchaser.

         5. PURCHASE PRICE. The total purchase price for the Premises shall be
the product of the net acreage of the Premises, as designated by Purchaser and
delineated by the

                                       1
<PAGE>

Survey contemplated by Section 6(c) hereof, multiplied by the sum of Two
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) per acre for each acre selected by
Purchaser (which amount shall be prorated for any part of the Premises that is
less than a full acre). Purchaser shall pay the purchase price to Owner pursuant
to the terms of a Real Estate Purchase Agreement to be entered into between the
parties following Purchaser's exercise of the Option (the "Purchase Agreement")
which Purchase Agreement shall allocate to each of the Owners that portion of
the purchase price that is attributable to the Premises owned by such Owner.

          6. EXERCISE OF OPTION. The purchase price, contingencies and other
terms of acquiring the Premises, should Purchaser exercise the Option, shall be
contained in the Purchase Agreement containing the following terms:

                  a. Conveyance. The Premises shall be conveyed to Purchaser, or
         its nominee, by general warranty deed, free and clear of all liens and
         encumbrances whatsoever, except for real estate taxes and general and
         special assessments not then due and payable and such easements,
         reservations, limitations and restrictions as Purchaser shall approve.

                  b. Closing. The transaction shall close on a date (the
         "Closing Date") set by Purchaser, which date shall be sixty (60) to
         ninety (90) days following the date Purchaser exercises the Option.

                  c. Title Policy and Survey. Owner shall supply Purchaser with
         an ALTA owner's policy of title insurance insuring that title to the
         Premises is as described in Section 6(a) above. Owner shall supply
         Purchaser with an ALTA/ACSM survey of the Premises made by a licensed
         surveyor (the "Survey"), which Survey shall contain a calculation of
         the total acreage of the Premises, exclusive of portions thereof within
         public highways or streets (the "net acreage") and shall also contain
         the location of all easements, encroachments, utility lines, access to
         public highways abutting the Premises, all improvements located on the
         Premises, a legal description for the Premises and shall confirm that
         the internal boundaries of any parcels comprising the Premises are
         contiguous to each other without any gap or gore. The Survey and the
         title insurance policy shall be in form and substance satisfactory to
         Purchaser.

                  d. Lot Split. Owner shall, at its expense, secure any lot
         splits necessary for the Premises in the event that Purchaser elects to
         Purchase less than all of the available 49.1 acres.

                  e. Taxes. All taxes, assessments or utility charges related to
         the Premises shall be prorated between the parties as of the Closing
         Date, with the Closing Date being treated as a day of ownership by
         Seller.
