 PART II 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
  

	1.	Request for Service: The Customer requests Consumers Energy Company (“Consumers”) to provide electric service at the Service Location described in Part I. In order
to provide such electric service, it will be necessary for Consumers to install facilities that are considered “Extraordinary.” (See Consumers Schedule of Rates Governing the Sale of Electric Service, hereinafter termed “Rate
Schedule”, Rule B10.4.) The general location and type of these facilities are depicted in Part III - Work Order sketch. Base Facilities and Premium Facilities requested by the Customer (or necessitated by the Customer’s request) are
identified on the Work Order sketch. 

  

	2.	Rate Schedule for Electric Service: This Agreement does not include the providing of electric service. Electric service will be provided at an available rate in accordance
with the appropriate Rate Schedule. 

  

	3.	Application of Rate Schedule: Except for the special conditions pertaining to deposit and refunds contained in this Agreement due to the nature of the facilities to be
provided, this Agreement and the construction and operation of the facilities shall be subject to Rate Schedule, Rule B10.4 and any modifications or replacements thereof as may be applicable, copies of which will be furnished to the Customer upon
request. 

  

	4.	Extraordinary Facilities: Extraordinary Facilities are either “Base” or “Premium”. Facilities which Consumers designates as “Base Facilities” on
the Work Order sketch require a Refundable Deposit by the Customer. Deposits are subject to refund to the Customer as described in Section 6 below. The Refundable Deposit paid by the Customer is equal to Consumers’ cost to install these
facilities, including all material, labor, applicable overheads and loadings. Facilities designated as “Premium Facilities” on the Work Order sketch require a Nonrefundable Contribution by the Customer. The Nonrefundable Contribution is
equal to Consumers’ cost to install these facilities ($200,000), plus the present worth of the annual ownership charges including, but not limited to property tax, insurance, operation and maintenance ($50,000) over the projected 35 year life
of the Premium Facilities. 

  

	5.	Payment: The Customer shall pay Consumers the Total Estimated Payment stated in Part I upon the execution of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in
writing prior to the execution date. The cost estimates provided in Part I of this Agreement are “conceptual estimates” developed before Consumers has begun detailed engineering or design. Consumers shall design and construct these
facilities with all reasonable dispatch, upon receipt of the Total Estimated Payment stated in Part I, in accordance with the Payment Schedule identified in Section 22, and any supplemental payment required at a later date. Once Consumers has
determined all costs and expenses are accounted for on its books, Consumers will determine its actual costs for the Extraordinary Facilities. If the actual costs differ from the Estimated Cost, Consumers will recalculate the Refundable Deposit and
the Nonrefundable Contribution. If the actual costs are less than the Estimated Cost and the payment(s) made by the Customer, Consumers shall refund the difference to the Customer. If the actual costs exceed the Estimated Cost and the total
payment(s) made by the Customer, Consumers shall invoice the Customer for the difference and the Customer shall pay such invoice by the due date indicated on the invoice. All payments shall be made and sent to Consumers Energy Company, Attention:
Treasurer, One Energy Plaza, Jackson, Michigan 49201. 

  

	6.	Deposit Refunds: Consumers shall refund all or a portion of the recalculated Deposit Subject to Refund over a period of five years from the month immediately following
(i) the date that Consumers completed construction or (ii) the Requested Completion Date stated in Part I of this Agreement, whichever date is later, in accordance with subsections 6(a) and 6(b) below. Refunds shall not exceed the Deposit
Subject to Refund and the deposit shall bear no interest. Calculations of Revenue shall exclude Power Supply Cost Recovery charges, Base Rate Adjustments, surcharges and sales tax. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive termination or
expiration of this Agreement. 

  

	 	a.	Consumers shall refund to the Customer the lesser of (i) twenty percent (20%) of the Deposit Subject to Refund or (ii) twelve and three-tenths percent (12.3%) of
the 12-month incremental revenue (excluding PSCR, Base Rate Adjustment, surcharges and sales tax). Refunds shall be made to the Customer within 45 days of the end of the first 12 month period beginning with the last day of the month that was
immediately after the month (i) in which Consumers completed construction or (ii) the Requested Completion Date stated in Part I of this Agreement, whichever date is later. Incremental revenue is defined as revenue that exceeds current
levels established and can be directly attributed to the investment requested for the Extraordinary Facilities. 

  

	 	b.	Consumers shall retain any portion of the Deposit Subject to Refund remaining at the end of the fifth 12-month period and no further refund(s) will be paid.

  

	7.	Easements and Permits: Consumers shall prepare an easement agreement for all Consumers’ facilities which will be located on the Customer’s premises. The Customer
shall execute such easement agreement prior to the start of construction by Consumers. In the event the Extraordinary Facilities include electric facilities not located on the Customer’s premises, the Customer shall be responsible for
Consumers’ cost to obtain the necessary easements and / or permits from third parties for installation of such required facilities. 

  

	8.	Site and Access: The Customer shall provide on its premises, at no cost to Consumers, a site suitable for Consumers’ electric facilities and driveways necessary to
access these facilities. The Customer shall prepare the site and bring it to rough grade as specified by Consumers. Consumers shall be afforded access at all times to its facilities located on the Customer’s premises.

	9.	Inability to Perform and Postponement of Construction: Upon execution of this Agreement and compliance in full by the Customer with all conditions to be performed by the
Customer as contained herein and in the Rate Schedule, Rule B10.4, Consumers, subject to weather, labor disputes, availability of necessary materials, and any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Consumers, shall construct such facilities so
as to make electric service available to the Customer to be served by such facilities on or about the Requested Completion Date stated in Part I. The Customer may elect to delay the installation of the Extraordinary Facilities by Consumers. In such
event, the Customer shall provide written notice to Consumers and shall specify the revised date it wishes to have the facilities placed in service. Prior to the resumption of construction, Consumers may require the Customer to (1) execute an
amendment to this Agreement reflecting the increased costs arising out of the postponement of construction and (2) pay such additional costs. If the Customer fails to execute such amendment and pay such additional costs within thirty
(30) days after presentation of such amendment to the Customer, or if any such postponement of construction continues for more than twelve months, Consumers may, upon notice thereof to the Customer, cancel this Agreement. In the event of such
cancellation either by the Customer or by Consumers as aforesaid, Consumers shall refund all payments made to it hereunder by the Customer less payment for work performed and all cancellation expenses incurred to provide service, without interest.

  

	10.	Notices: All notices required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent by United States mail or delivered in person to the Parties at their respective addresses as set

Customer shall be responsible for the cost of replacement. However, if in the sole judgment of Consumers, the failed Premium Extraordinary Facilities can remain out of service without adversely affecting the service to other customers or the
reliability of Consumers’ system, the Customer shall be given the option of paying to replace the failed facilities or resuming service without such facilities. In such event, Consumers shall notify the Customer of the need to replace the
Premium Extraordinary Facilities and the estimated expense to the Customer. The Customer shall then notify Consumers in writing within thirty (30) days whether it agrees to pay the expense of the replacement or that it wishes to forgo the
replacement and resume service without such facilities. If the Customer forgoes replacing the failed facilities, this Agreement will be subject to termination upon Consumers giving written notice to Customer. 

  

	13.	Limitation on High Voltage System Supply: To the extent that the Extraordinary Facilities requested by the Customer are intended to make available an additional source of
high voltage supply (“alternate supply”) to the Customer’s service location, Consumers may make its system available for such use, but only on an “as available” basis. Consumers does not guarantee that its high voltage
system will be available or have sufficient capacity available to serve the Customer’s electrical needs under all circumstances. Consumers is not reserving “alternate supply” capacity on its high voltage system for the Customer, nor
is Consumers charging the Customer for such capacity under this Agreement. However, when Consumers becomes aware that adequate capacity does not exist or will not exist in the future to be able to provide “alternate supply” from its high
voltage system to serve the Capacity Reserved by the Customer, Consumers will notify the Customer and discuss with the Customer the improvements required to allow the Customer to continue to be served by an alternate high voltage supply. Any

their representatives pertaining to the subject matter hereof and constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties. 

  

	17.	No Third Party Beneficiaries: This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and does not grant any rights to any third parties unless otherwise
specifically stated herein. 

  

	18.	Force Majeure: Neither Party shall be considered to be in Default with respect to any obligation hereunder other than the obligation to pay money when due, if prevented from
fulfilling such obligation by Force Majeure. A Party unable to fulfill any obligation hereunder (other than an obligation to pay money when due) by reason of Force Majeure shall give notice and the full particulars of such Force Majeure to the other
Party in writing or by telephone as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the cause relied upon. Telephone notices given pursuant to this article shall be confirmed in writing as soon as reasonably possible and shall specifically state

 B. This Agreement involves facilities necessary to serve the initial customer load projection of 9.5 MW as provided by Liberty Renewable Fuels, LLC. Subsequent load additions must be preceded by a request to Consumers Energy identifying the
amount of load that will be added in MW, along with the estimated power factor. Any additional load shall require review and approval from Consumers Energy before connecting and, such approval may require additional facilities and a separate
Facilities Agreement. 
 C. The Non-Refundable portion of this Agreement ($250,000) covers the incremental costs of installing and maintaining
all Premium Facilities, as referred to in Section 4, and identified in the Work Order Sketch in Part III of this Agreement. Part of this is intended to cover the cost differential between the base-level transformer required to serve the
projected customer load (10/12.5 MVA) and the premium transformer selected by the customer (12/16/20 MVA), in addition to the cost differential between the protection schemes required for each option. If within the refundable period of this
Agreement (as defined in Section 6 above) additional load at the site is submitted for approval and is subsequently approved by Consumers Energy and if these Premium Facilities are determined by Consumers Energy in its sole discretion to be
necessary to serve the increased load, then the Premium Facilities will be reclassified as Base Facilities and the appropriate portion (i.e. dollar amount) of the Non-Refundable Contribution will be converted to a Deposit Subject to Refund for the
remainder of the original refundable period, subject to the terms and conditions identified in Section 6 above.
