3.2                               Other Goods and Services:  Owner shall also furnish to Kiewit, at Owner’s
expense, (i) all documents, drawings, specifications, information and services
described in Exhibit A, as being provided by Owner; (ii) the identification of
the existence and location of subsurface obstructions and conditions, soil
data, and specific criteria for foundation design relevant to the Work (as set
forth in the Geotechnical Report in Exhibit D); (iii) adequate arrangement
drawings, utility requirements and process connections of all those existing
items of machinery and equipment of existing facilities, if any, with which the
Work must interconnect, sufficient for Kiewit’s performance of the Work; and
(iv) all other documents, drawings, specifications, information and services,
if any, identified as within the Owner’s scope of services in Exhibit A.  Kiewit shall be entitled to rely upon such
data and design criteria enumerated above, including any draft documentation,
to the extent final documentation is not available at the time the Work is
performed, in the performance of the Work. 
Kiewit acknowledges and agrees that the scope of the GeoTechnical Report
is sufficiently detailed and comprehensive and Kiewit shall be entitled to
relief in accordance with Article 6 to the extent subsurface conditions are not
as indicated in such GeoTechnical Report, except to the extent subsurface
conditions are reasonably foreseeable from the GeoTechnical Report.  To the extent any such information provided
by Owner is inaccurate or changes in any material respect, Kiewit shall be entitled
to a change in the Work in accordance with Article 6.  Owner shall provide all such items within the
times prescribed in the Schedule, or if no time is prescribed, within the time
reasonably required to allow Kiewit to perform its obligations under this
Contract.  Owner represents that Owner is
not aware of any physical, financial or legal matters that would prevent Owner
from fulfilling its obligations hereunder or impede performance of the Owner’s
obligations under this Contract in accordance with the Schedule. If Kiewit
becomes aware of any error in a document, drawing, specification or other
information supplied by Owner it will promptly notify Owner of the same.  Kiewit shall, however, have no liability of any
kind with respect to any such error of which it is not actually aware.  In addition, Owner shall be fully responsible
for providing all goods and services, if any, that become necessary as a result
of the discovery of materials with archeological significance or Hazardous
Substances at the Plant Site except: (i) Hazardous 

 11
 

Substances that were
brought onto the site by Kiewit (or any of its Subcontractors); (unless
subsequently negligently released by Owner or its other contractors or agents),
or (ii)  which arise out of the  negligent exacerbation of a known
environmental condition by Kiewit or its Subcontractors.

3.3                               License Agreement:  Concurrently with the execution of this
Contract, Owner and Delta-T shall enter into the License Agreement.  In the event this Contract is terminated for
any reason, the License Agreement will remain in effect in accordance with the
terms and provisions of the License Agreement.

4.             Site Conditions:  If conditions are encountered at the Plant
Site which materially differ from conditions shown in or indicated as likely by
any drawing, document or other information (including, but not limited to the
Geotechnical Report in Exhibit D), if any, that Owner is required to deliver to
Kiewit under Article 3 above, or which is contained in this Contract, then
notice by the observing Party shall be given to the other Party promptly. If
any such condition causes any material increase or decrease in Kiewit’s cost
of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, or any material
increase or decrease in any other obligation of Kiewit, Owner shall within ten
(10) Business Days of receipt of a change order request from Kiewit, issue a
change order in accordance with Article 6 below.

5.             Schedule

5.1                               Schedule:  Kiewit guarantees that Substantial Completion
of the Work will be achieved no later than, the later of (i) *** or (ii) ***, (“Guaranteed
Substantial Completion Date”). Owner will not provide Kiewit the Notice to
Proceed until the Air Permit is issued and any permits or approval necessary to
provide reasonably unrestricted access to the Plant Site in order for Kiewit to
be able to perform the Work are issued and/or obtained.   In the event of a delay in Substantial
Completion not permitted by the terms of this Contract, except as otherwise set
forth in this Section 5.1, Kiewit’s sole and exclusive liability and Owner’s
sole and exclusive remedy for such delay shall be:  (i) Days 1 – 30, $ ***, (ii) Days 31 – 60, $
***, and (iii) Days 61 plus, $ *** (the “Base LDs”); provided, however, in the
event any such delay in Substantial Completion is due to a defect in Delta-T’s
scope of work under Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T, then, except as
otherwise set forth in this Section 5.1, Kiewit’s sole and exclusive liability
and Owner’s sole 

 12
 

and
exclusive remedy for such delay shall be *** per Day (the “Reduced LDs”)
commencing on the 31st Day after the Guaranteed Substantial
Completion (the “Reduced LD Date”) (unless (x) during the thirty (30) day
period between the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date and the Reduced LD Date
a problem arises due to Owner (other than Owner’s exercise of its rights under
this Contract) which prevents reaching Substantial Completion by the Reduced LD
Date in which event the Reduced LD Date will be extended by the number of days
such problem causes Substantial Completion not to be achieved or (y) on the
Reduced LD Date Substantial Completion has not been achieved due to a defect in
Delta-T’s scope of work under Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T involving a
delay in equipment delivery beyond Delta-T’s control (including a delay in
delivery of replacement equipment beyond Delta-T’s control which replacement
equipment was due to equipment failure) in which event the Reduced LD Date will
be extended until such equipment is delivered to the Plant Site); provided
further; however, in the event any such delay in Substantial Completion is due
both to a defect in Delta-T’s scope of work under Kiewit’s subcontract with
Delta-T and also to other reasons for which the Base LDs would apply (the “Base
LD Causes”), then until such time as the Base LD Causes are remedied such that
the only remaining reason, if any, Substantial Completion is not achieved is
due to a defect in Delta-T’s scope of work under Kiewit’s subcontract with
Delta-T, then the Base LDs shall be paid by Kiewit to Owner and not the Reduced
LDs, and once such Base LD Causes are so remedied, if the defects in Delta-T’s
scope of work under Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T have not been remedied so
that Substantial Completion has not yet been reached, then the Reduced LDs
shall be paid by Kiewit to Owner until Substantial Completion is reached.  In addition to the foregoing, and
notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, but subject to Section
16.1, in the event Substantial Completion is not reached by the Guaranteed
Substantial Completion Date, Kiewit and Owner agree to work together and with
Delta-T in a commercially reasonable and expeditious manner in order to reach
Substantial Completion at the earliest possible time.  Kiewit shall use all reasonable efforts to
comply with Owner’s wishes with respect to changes in Schedule, but any i)
material adjustment requested by Owner to the Schedule; or ii) Owner’s 

 13
 

inappropriate
disapproval of deliverables as more fully set forth in Section 11.3.2, shall be
deemed a change and Kiewit shall have no obligation to slow down or accelerate
its performance of the Work except in accordance with Article 6 below.

5.2                               Threshold.  Upon obtaining Substantial Completion, Kiewit
shall have *** days thereafter to increase the output of merchantable ethanol
product of the Plant from *** of the Nameplate to *** of the Nameplate (*** per
year of undenatured ethanol) (the “Threshold”). 
However, so long as Kiewit is working diligently and in good faith to
reach the Threshold, Owner shall agree to reasonable extensions of said *** day
period.

5.3                               Early Completion Bonus.  If Substantial Completion of the Plant is
attained prior to *** months after the date of the issuance of the Notice to
Proceed, Owner shall pay Kiewit at the time of Final Payment an early
completion bonus equal to *** of the equivalent of delay liquidated damages
rate, had the Work been that same number of Days late for each Day that
Substantial Completion occurred prior to said date.  In no event shall the early completion bonus
exceed ***.

6.             Changes

6.1                               Issuance of Change Orders by Owner:  Owner may by its written order require
changes in the Work within the general scope of the Contract consisting of
additions, deletions or other revisions, provided that the Contract Sum and
payment schedule are adjusted to reflect the change in Kiewit’s direct and
indirect costs resulting from such changes, plus a reasonable amount for
profit, and that the time allowed for completion, warranty obligations, and any
other obligations of Kiewit affected by the changes are adjusted to cover the
consequences to Kiewit resulting from such change.  Kiewit shall have the right to request a
claim for such adjustments to the extent the cumulative impact of such changes
can reasonably be demonstrated.  The
amount to be paid to Kiewit, the effect on the Schedule, if any, and any other
adjustments to the Contract will be made by mutual agreement.

 14
 

6.1.1       Change Order Effect upon Performance.  If the change submitted by Owner, in Kiewit’s
good faith reasonable judgment, would have a detrimental impact on performance
of the Plant, Kiewit will have no obligation to proceed with any change.

6.1.2       Change Order Dispute.  If
there is a dispute as to whether a change order is required, then Kiewit shall
proceed with the change, without markup, on a reimbursable basis until the
dispute is resolved in accordance with Article 18.  If it is determined that a change order was
required then Owner shall pay Kiewit on a cost plus basis in accordance with
Section 6.1.4 below.  If it is determined
that no change order is required then Kiewit shall reimburse Owner for the
amount that Owner has paid to Kiewit for said Work, together with interest at
the rate set forth in Section 8.4 below.

If
the amount of the change order is in dispute, then Kiewit will proceed with the
change on a cost plus basis in accordance with Section 6.1.4 below.

6.1.3       Hazardous Substances.  Kiewit shall in no case be required to agree
to any change requiring Kiewit’s handling of PCBs, asbestos or any other
Hazardous Substances except to the extent such Hazardous Substance is brought
onto the site by Kiewit and/or Subcontractors (and not subsequently negligently
released by Owner or its other contractors or agents) or results from negligent
exacerbation of a known environmental condition by Kiewit or its
Subcontractors.

6.1.4       Changes Priced On Cost Plus Basis.  For changes priced on a cost plus basis,
Kiewit shall be entitled to a *** total markup for off-site overhead,
contingency and profit.

6.1.5       Change Order for Expansion.  Owner’s issuance of a change order for the
expansion of Nameplate from 108,000,000 to 216,000,000 gallons per year of
un-denatured ethanol shall be allowed as within the general scope of the
Contract and Kiewit shall be entitled to a change in the Contract Sum,
Schedule, and Services, as mutually agreed so long as Owner first executes an
amended technology license agreement with Delta-T.

 15
 

6.2                               Notice of Instruction Constituting a Change; Notice
of Impact of Change Order:  If Kiewit receives instructions from Owner,
which in Kiewit’s opinion constitute a change in the Work, Kiewit shall so
advise Owner within eight (8) Business Days of receipt of such
instruction.  If Kiewit receives a change
order under Section 6.1 above or becomes aware of a constructive change order
described at Section 6.3 below, or gives Owner a notice that an instruction of
Owner constitutes a change, then Kiewit shall within eight (8) Business Days
thereafter submit to Owner a statement of the impact of such change on the
Contract Sum, payment schedule or Schedule; provided however, the warranties
and any other provisions of the Contract will not be affected thereby.  Kiewit shall not delay prosecution of the
Work.

6.3                               Constructive Change Orders:  Any of the following shall entitle Kiewit to
request an increase in the Contract Sum and/or an extension of the Schedule:
(a) a material modification of applicable law, ordinance or regulation after
the Date of Commencement, (b) a Force Majeure Event (provided however that in
no event shall Kiewit be entitled to an increase in the Contract Sum to the
extent due to a Force Majeure Event), (c) unknown or differing site conditions
at the Plant Site described at Article 4 above, (d) discovery of Hazardous
Substances or archaeological materials at the Plant Site which were not
previously disclosed to or known by Kiewit, (e) suspension by Owner, (f)
material delay by Owner, or its subcontractors in the performance of Owner’s
obligations under the Contract, that results in a material delay in the
performance of the Work by Contractor or its Subcontractors, (g) interference
(but not the exercise of Owner’s rights under the Contract) by Owner or its
subcontractors in any material respect in the performance by Contractor, or its
Subcontractors, of the Work that results in a material delay in the performance
of the Work by Contractor or its subcontractors, and (h) suspension or
injunction by court order (unless such suspension or injunction is the result
of actions taken by Kiewit or its Subcontractors under this Contract).  Kiewit shall provide written notice to Owner
promptly upon becoming aware of any of the events above, or, in the case of a
Force Majeure Event, promptly upon becoming aware that there may be a schedule
impact  from such event.

7.             Commissioning, Testing, and Performance

7.1                               Mechanical Completion, Commissioning and Startup:  Commencing six (6) months prior to the
anticipated Mechanical Completion Date, Kiewit shall provide to Owner written
notice of said estimated date and provide, not less than monthly, periodic
written updates of this estimated completion date.  Kiewit shall give Owner prompt reasonable
written notice when Kiewit believes that the Work has reached Mechanical Completion.  Kiewit shall commence Commissioning upon
achievement of Mechanical Completion. 
Mechanical Completion shall be achieved when the requirements therefor
listed in Exhibit E have been satisfied. 
Kiewit shall Startup the Plant as soon as reasonably practicable after
Mechanical Completion has been achieved.

7.2                               Substantial Completion and Threshold Tests:  At such time(s) as Kiewit believes the Plant
is operating at sufficient capacity to meet the output levels required for
Substantial Completion and subsequently, the Threshold, testing shall be
conducted to confirm that the required levels of merchantable ethanol product
are being produced at the Plant.  The
testing to determine whether the output levels required for Substantial
Completion and subsequently the Threshold have been obtained shall continue for
a period of twenty (24) hours and shall be at a stable production rate for such
period and shall otherwise meet the requirements set forth on Exhibit C.  A separate test shall be conducted to determine
whether the output levels required for Substantial Completion and for the
Threshold have been met, unless the parties mutually agree in writing
otherwise, or unless the output levels required for both Substantial Completion
and the Threshold have been met by a single test.

7.3                               Performance Test and Performance Guarantees:  Kiewit shall begin the Performance Test as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Threshold has been achieved.  Kiewit shall cause the Plant to meet or
exceed the Performance Guarantees set forth in this Section 7.3 while
demonstrating at the time of the final Performance Test that the Plant meets
all requirements of the Air Permit issued for the Plant.  All quantities set forth below are based on
average quantities over the period of the applicable Performance Test.

  maximum (weight) DDGS moisture content.

  

 

7.4                               Condition to Performance Guarantees.  If any breach of warranty under this Contract
or failure to meet the Performance Guarantees under this Contract is the result
of:

 18
 

7.4.1       The feedstock provided
by Owner, not being in compliance with the conditions described in Section
7.3.1 or 7.3.2, as applicable;

7.4.2       Abuse, or poor
maintenance, of the Equipment;

7.4.3       Owner’s failure to
fulfill any of its obligations, which individually or in the aggregate are
material, under the Performance Test protocols set forth in Exhibit C;

7.4.4       Owner’s failure, in any
material way, to operate the Plant in accordance with the operating manuals and
instructions provided by Kiewit;

7.4.5       Owner designing or
procuring equipment and systems, other than under this Contract, that fail to
meet Delta-T’s basic process design specifications for energy efficiency;

7.4.6   
Owner fails to provide electrical service with at least a 0.85 power
factor;

then
Kiewit shall notify Owner, Owner shall take the necessary corrective actions
and the affected Performance Tests shall be re-run at Owner’s expense.  However, if Owner refuses or fails  to provide the requested items, then Kiewit
shall have no obligation or liability for any such breach of the applicable
warranty or Performance Guarantees under this Contract.

7.5                               Substantial Completion:  Substantial Completion shall be achieved when
the requirements for Substantial Completion in Exhibit E have been
satisfied.  Kiewit shall provide Owner a
certificate of Substantial Completion certifying that all requirements for
Substantial Completion have been met at the time when all requirements for
Substantial Completion have been achieved. 
Owner shall have three (3) Business Days after receipt of such
certificate to advise Kiewit as to whether it agrees Substantial Completion has
been achieved.  Owner shall specify in
detail any requirements for Substantial Completion which it believes Kiewit has
failed to achieve within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such
certificate.  Substantial Completion
shall be deemed to have occurred on the date when the last of the requirements
for Substantial Completion has been achieved. 
Kiewit agrees that Kiewit, at Kiewit’s sole cost and expense, shall take

 19
 

whatever action is
reasonably necessary and consistent with sound engineering practices to cause
the Plant to reach Substantial Completion; provided, Kiewit shall not, except
as set forth in Section 16.1 below, be responsible for costs associated with
any defects in Delta-T scope of work under Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T
which result in failure to achieve Substantial Completion; Kiewit shall,
however, be responsible for any costs which are reimbursed to Kiewit by any
manufacturer or supplier associated with such defects.

7.6          Cure:  After Substantial Completion (at which point
care, custody and control transfers to Owner in accordance with Article 13),
Owner shall allow Kiewit reasonable access to the Plant.  After reaching Substantial Completion, Kiewit
agrees that Kiewit, at Kiewit’s sole cost and expense, shall take whatever
action is reasonably necessary and consistent with sound engineering practices
to cause the Plant to reach the Threshold; provided, Kiewit shall not, except
as set forth in Section 16.1 below, be responsible for costs associated with
any defects in Delta-T scope of work under Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T
which result in failure to achieve the Threshold; Kiewit shall, however, be
responsible for any costs which are reimbursed to Kiewit by any manufacturer or
supplier associated with such defects.

After reaching the
Threshold, Kiewit shall, for a period of up to six (6) months thereafter and
subject to Section 16.1, (i) use good faith efforts to  cause the Plant to satisfy the Performance
Guarantees in Section 7.3 and to re-run the Performance Tests as needed during
that period; provided, Kiewit shall not, except as set forth in Section 16.1
below, be responsible for costs associated with any defects in Delta-T scope of
work under Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T which result in failure to achieve
the Performance Guarantees; Kiewit shall, however, be responsible for any costs
which are reimbursed to Kiewit by any manufacturer or supplier associated with
such defects, and (ii) complete all Punch List items to the reasonable
satisfaction of Owner.  Kiewit shall have
the foregoing period of time in which to satisfy the obligations in the
preceding sentence before being subject to paying any liquidated damages.

Kiewit is obligated to
continue all aspects of the Work necessary to achieve completion of Performance
Tests, Substantial Completion, the Threshold, and Final Acceptance (and in
connection therewith, Kiewit is obligated to expend all necessary 

 20
 

funds, devote all necessary time, and
provide or procure all necessary work, materials, labor and services), except
as such obligation is limited by Section 16.1 below.  All cost and expense associated with meeting
such obligation, including any necessary acceleration of the rate of work will,
unless and except to the extent required in accordance with Article 6, be for
Kiewit’s account.

7.7                               Liquidated Damages and Maximum Damages for
Performance Guarantees:  If the Plant has achieved Substantial
Completion and Threshold, but has not achieved one or more of the Performance
Guarantees set forth in Section 7.3 above during a Performance Test as provided
herein, and Kiewit has not been able to correct the defect and pass all
components of the Performance Tests within the time set forth at Section 7.6
above, then Kiewit shall pay to Owner liquidated damages based on the net
amount (i.e. the amount of damages in each case for which damages apply shall
be netted against the countervailing factor in each case for which the countervailing
factor applies, to determine the final net performance liquidated damages if
any) due as set forth in Section 7.8 below up to a maximum cumulative amount in
accordance with Article 16 of the General Conditions of this Contract.  Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on
damages for failure to reach the Performance Guarantees, Kiewit shall be
obligated to continue all aspects of the Work necessary to achieve the
Performance Guarantees, except as such obligation is limited by Section 16.1.  For the avoidance of doubt, the
countervailing factors shall not be taken into account for the purposes of
determining whether Substantial Completion or the Threshold has been
achieved.  Kiewit shall pay such liquidated
damages no later than the date that is six (6) months after the achievement of
the Threshold.

The sum of the countervailing factors,
determined as set forth under Section 7.8 below, shall be deducted from the sum
of the damages determined thereunder.  In
no case, however, shall Owner have any obligation to pay Kiewit as a result of
such calculation.  If the countervailing
factors are greater than the damages, the performance liquidated damages shall
be deemed to be zero.

 21

7.8                               Amount of Damages and Countervailing Factors

	
  Fuel Ethanol Yield:

  	
   

  	
  *** per *** pounds of anhydrous undenatured ethanol
  (average per ASTM D4806-06) per pound of dry fermentable starch that the
  Performance Test results show lower or higher than the guaranteed Anhydrous
  Fuel Ethanol Yield listed in Section 7.3.1 above. To the extent the yield is
  lower the resulting number shall constitute damages. To the extent that it is
  higher the resulting amount shall be a countervailing factor.

   

  For purposes of
  calculating damages as set forth above, damages shall be measured in
  increments of .001. An increment of .0005 or less is rounded down. An
  increment of .0006 or above would be rounded up.

  undenatured ethanol (average per ASTM D4806-06) that the Performance Test
  results show lower or higher than the guaranteed Anhydrous Fuel Ethanol
  Production Rate listed in Section 7.3.1 above. To the extent the rate is
  lower the resulting number shall constitute damages. To the extent that it is
  higher the resulting amount shall not be a countervailing factor.

7.9                               Damages Reasonable:  The Parties acknowledge and agree that the
terms of this Contract with respect to liquidated damages, including those
payable under this Article 7, are fair and reasonable considering the damage
Owner would sustain in the event of the failure of the Plant to meet the Performance
Guarantees set forth in Section 7.3 above, that such damages have been agreed
upon and fixed as liquidated damages because of the difficulty of ascertaining
as of the date hereof the exact damages that would be sustained by Owner, and
that such liquidated damages provisions shall be applicable regardless of the
actual amount of damages sustained.  All
amounts shall be paid as liquidated 

 22
 

damages and not as a
penalty.  The Parties specifically waive
the right to challenge the liquidated damages rates and limits provided
herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
limitations on damages for failure to reach the Performance Guarantees, Kiewit
shall be obligated to continue all aspects of the Work necessary to achieve the
Performance Guarantees, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 16.1.

7.10                        Performance Bonus:  Upon Final Acceptance, Kiewit and Owner shall
cooperate during a six-month bonus period of operation.  Owner agrees to pay to Kiewit a bonus of ***
for each *** above *** of Nameplate, capped at a bonus of ***; provided that
the Plant meets the requirements of all applicable permits required for the
operation of the Plant on a continuous basis (e.g. if there is an annual limit
on emissions, the operation of the Plant at the levels during the applicable
period, if operated on a continuous basis for a year, would meet the applicable
annual emissions requirements).  Kiewit
has six (6) months from Final Acceptance to achieve this bonus.  The bonus shall be determined by reviewing
operating data on rolling two-week periods commencing on the date of Final
Acceptance.  Bonus shall be payable
thirty (30) Days after achieving these bonus criteria.

7.11                        Training of Owner’s Personnel:  Kiewit shall provide the training described
in Exhibit A.  Owner shall provide
appropriate personnel, and Kiewit shall provide such training, at times
mutually agreed by them, commencing prior to Commissioning in sufficient time
to prepare Owner’s employees to perform Commissioning and Startup and to
perform their obligations with respect to the Performance Test.

7.12                        Use of Plant Prior to Final Acceptance:  Owner may use the Plant for commercial
purposes on or after the achievement of Substantial Completion.  If Owner elects to use any portion of the
Work for commercial purposes prior to Final Acceptance, it shall allow Kiewit
reasonably unrestricted access to the Plant to do all things required to be
done to complete the Punch List and achieve Final Acceptance and to meet full
Performance Guarantees, as long as such access does not unreasonably interfere
with Owner’s use of the Plant for commercial 

 23
 

purposes. 
In the event Owner fails to comply with its obligation to provide Kiewit
access to the Plant as set forth in the preceding sentence, (i) for each day
that Owner so fails to provide such access, Kiewit shall have an additional day
to satisfy its obligations hereunder which were adversely affected by Owner’s
failure to so provide such access and (ii) if such failure to so provide such
access is for an aggregate of thirty (30) days, then at the end of such thirty
(30) aggregate day period, if Final Acceptance has not yet occurred, the
matters set forth in items (i), (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Final
Acceptance shall be deemed to have occurred.

7.13                        Final Acceptance:  Kiewit shall provide Owner a certificate of
Final Acceptance certifying that all requirements for Final Acceptance have
been met at the time when all requirements for Final Acceptance have been
achieved.  Owner shall have ten (10)
Business Days after receipt of such certificate to advise Kiewit as to whether
it agrees Final Acceptance has been achieved. 
Owner shall specify in detail any requirements for Final Acceptance
which it believes Kiewit has failed to achieve. 
Final Acceptance shall be deemed to have occurred on the date when the
last of the requirements for Final Acceptance has been achieved.

8.             Price and Payment

8.1                               Contract Sum:  Owner will pay Kiewit for the full and
satisfactory completion of the Work the Contract Sum of ***, or such other sum
as may be adjusted in accordance with this Contract, plus Excluded Taxes
required under applicable
laws to be paid or remitted by Kiewit in connection with the Work.  Owner shall be credited against the Contract
Sum with all amounts paid by Owner or its affiliates under the AWA and the
Pre-EPC Agreement.  The Contract Sum
includes the cost of materials and Equipment described in the AWA and the
Pre-EPC Agreement to the extent such materials and Equipment are incorporated
into the Work.  In addition, the Contract
Sum includes allowances for each of the matters (and for the amounts) set forth
on Exhibit P.  The
Contract Sum shall be adjusted for (a) preliminary site Work and piling Work
according to the difference between (i) the estimate for such Work set forth on
Exhibit P and (ii) Kiewit’s actual costs of performing such preliminary site
Work and piling Work plus a 

 24
 

markup of *** and (b)
all other Work set forth on Exhibit P (i.e. other than preliminary site Work
and pilings Work) according to the difference between (i) the estimate for such
Work set forth on Exhibit P and (ii) Kiewit’s actual costs of performing such
Work (without any markup).  All matters
covered under the AWA and Pre-EPC Agreement are superseded by the provisions of
this Contract and are covered hereby. 
The license fee to be paid by Owner under the License Agreement shall be
paid by Owner directly to Delta-T and is not included in the Contract Sum.  If the Notice to Proceed is provided more
than ninety (90) days after the execution date of this Contract, the Contract
Sum and the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date shall be subject to
equitable adjustment in accordance with Article 6.

The Contract Sum does not include
Excluded Taxes.  Excluded Taxes means
any: (i) taxes imposed by any Governmental Entity on the gross receipts earned
by, or paid to, Kiewit on the Contract Sum or any other amounts to be paid by
Owner to Kiewit hereunder or any portion of such amounts thereof, (ii) sales or
use taxes imposed on Kiewit or any of its Subcontractors for purchases or sales
of Equipment or any other materials to be installed in, affixed to, or
incorporated into the Plant or the Plant Site or (iii) any property taxes
imposed directly or indirectly by any Governmental Entity on the Plant, Equipment,
or any other materials to be installed in, affixed to, or incorporated into the
Plant or the Plant Site; provided, however, Excluded Taxes do not include any
tax based on the net income of Kiewit or its Subcontractors.  If Kiewit or any of its Subcontractors are,
now or in the future, required to collect from Owner or pay any Excluded Taxes
with respect to all or any part of the Work (other than any such tax based on
income), then that amount shall be paid by Owner at Kiewit’s request, in
addition to the Contract Sum.  Kiewit
shall (and shall make a good faith effort to cause its Subcontractors to)
cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to Owner in obtaining any
exclusions, exemptions or credits from any Excluded Taxes and to minimize said
Excluded Taxes.  Owner shall hold
harmless, defend and indemnify Kiewit and its Subcontractors for, and reimburse
to Kiewit or any of its Subcontractors, any Excluded Taxes, interest or
penalties associated therewith, or any other amounts, that must be paid by
Kiewit or any of its Subcontractors as a result of an assessment or other
action by a Governmental Entity as the result of Kiewit’s or Kiewit’s
Subcontractors’ 

 25
 

reliance upon Owner’s
claims of entitlement to any exemptions or reductions of Excluded Taxes.  Upon Kiewit or any of its Subcontractors
receiving any such assessment or notice of any such other action by a
Governmental Entity, Kiewit shall, and shall cause its Subcontractors to,
promptly notify Owner of same.  Upon
Owner’s receipt of such notice from Kiewit or its Subcontractors, Owner shall
undertake the defense of any such assessment or other action by the applicable
Governmental Entity, and Kiewit shall, and shall cause its Subcontractors to,
cooperate with Owner in such defense. 
Owner shall have the right to control such defense of any such
assessment or other action by the applicable Governmental Entity.  A preliminary listing of available tax
exemptions and concessions expected to be applicable to or available to the
construction or operation of the Plant is attached hereto as Exhibit Q.

If Kiewit or any of its Subcontractors
are required by applicable laws or are otherwise required to pay Excluded
Taxes, Kiewit shall include requests for payment or reimbursement of such
Excluded Taxes with Applications for Payment, the Final Payment, or any time
within ninety (90) Days of a requirement by a Governmental Entity to pay such
Excluded Taxes.

8.2                               Termination Fee:  In the event that Owner exercises a right to
terminate under Section 9.4, or in the event that Kiewit terminates this
Contract under Section 9.3 (provided the suspension of the Work which resulted
in such termination by Kiewit does not include a suspension due to a Force
Majeure Event),  the Owner shall pay in
addition to sums due under Section 9.4 of the General Conditions, a fee
determined as follows, as a liquidated damage for lost opportunity cost and not
as a penalty:  

	
  Termination:

  	
   

  	
  Termination Fee as a Percentage

  of Total Contract Sum

  
	
  Within Ninety
  (90) Days after the Date of Commencement

  	
   

  	
  ***

  
	
  From Ninety-one
  (91) to one hundred fifty (150) Days after the Date of Commencement

  	
   

  	
  ***

  
	
  From One hundred
  fifty-one (151) to two hundred ten (210) Days after the Date of Commencement

  	
   

  	
  ***

  

 

 26
 

8.3                               Payment Terms:  Owner shall provide a mobilization payment to
Kiewit in accordance with and at the times set forth in Exhibit B.  Owner shall make monthly progress payments
according to percentage of completion beginning with and including payments
made for work done under the AWA or Pre-EPC Agreement as set forth on Exhibit
R, which payment schedule shall reflect the concept of “cash neutrality”.  For purposes of this Contract, “cash
neutrality” shall mean that Kiewit will not be required to be out of pocket at
any time for any amounts owed by Kiewit for the Work and that Kiewit shall not
be paid by Owner for the Work in advance in such a manner that would result in
Kiewit being cash positive as reasonably estimated by Owner and Kiewit. In the
event the payment schedule set forth on Exhibit R conflicts with the foregoing
definition of Cash Neutrality, the parties agree to conform said exhibit
accordingly.  Kiewit shall submit
Applications for Payment in the form set forth at Exhibit B.1, together with
reasonable supporting documentation for said Application, to Owner.  Owner shall, through Owner’s Representative,
sign the Certificate for Payment set forth on the Application for Payment for
the full payment applied for, unless it believes that all or any part of such
amount is not then due.  If Owner
believes all or part of the amount requested in the Application for Payment is
not then due, Owner shall amend the Application for Payment contained therein
by indicating the amount, if any, that it believes to be due, and shall sign the
application as amended and deliver the certificate, together with written
notice of Owner’s reasons for certifying less than the whole amount applied
for.  Retainage for each payment shall be
*** for a 108 MGY plant; provided however, that Kiewit may provide an
adjustable and irrevocable letter of credit in lieu of retainage in a form
reasonably acceptable to Owner.  There
shall be no retainage for Equipment that was the subject of the AWA.    In addition, upon payment of *** of the
Contract Sum (excluding payments for Equipment that was the subject of the
AWA), and provided Kiewit is in material compliance with this Contract, there
shall be no retainage on any further payments under this Contract.  Upon reaching the Threshold, and provided
Contractor is in material compliance with this Contract, Owner shall release
the retainage in exchange for Kiewit providing Owner a letter of credit for an
amount equal to *** of the agreed upon estimated value of the 

 27
 

cost of completion of
Punch List items plus any potential liability of Kiewit for liquidated
damages.  Owner shall wire transfer, in
immediately available funds, all amounts for which it has issued certificates,
within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of its receipt of the Application
for Payment, to a bank account to be selected by Kiewit.  If Owner does not certify payment in the
amount of the Application, and Kiewit and Owner cannot agree on a revised
amount within five (5) Business Days of the date of the Owner’s submittal of
the amended Application for less than the full amount, then either Party may
commence the Dispute Resolution process in accordance with Article 18.  In any case, when the reasons stated by Owner
for withholding payment of any amount for which an application has been made
are removed to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction, in whole or in part, Owner
shall immediately issue a Certificate for Payment for the amount withheld (to
the extent the reason stated for withholding is removed) and make payment, via
wire transfer as described in this Section 8.3, of the amount so certified on
or before the date that the next payment is due.

8.4                               Late Payment:  Late payments by either Party shall bear
interest at the rate of Wall Street Journal prime rate plus two percent (2%).

8.5                               Mechanic’s Lien Waivers and Indemnity:  Kiewit shall pay promptly for all amounts due
for all materials, labor, Service and Equipment used in or in connection with
the performance of this Contract, including those of its Subcontractors, when
bills or claims become due, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner from
and against all claims of its Subcontractors. 
Owner shall give Kiewit prompt notice of any such claim upon receipt by
Owner of any such claim.

8.6                               Mechanic’s Liens:  Kiewit shall keep the Plant Site and any other
adjacent real property owned or leased by Owner and all other property of Owner
which is located on the Plant Site or such adjacent real property, free and
clear of laborer’s, materialmen’s and mechanic’s or similar type liens arising
out of the performance of the Work, unless Owner fails to make required
payments to Kiewit as set forth in this Article 8 and then only to the extent
Owner has failed to make such payments. 
Owner shall promptly notify Kiewit in writing of any lien so 

 28
 

arising of which it has
notice or knowledge.  Kiewit shall
provide to Owner as a condition to payments to be made pursuant to Article 8, a
partial release of lien in the form of Exhibit B.2.1 duly executed by Kiewit
and any major Subcontractors (those with subcontracts having a value of over
$500,000) and shall also obtain and timely provide a complete release of lien
and general release with respect to any such subcontract for which full and
final payment is made, in the form of Exhibit B.2.  In each case, the release of lien may be for
an amount less amounts that will be paid from the payment for which such
release of lien is requested.  Kiewit
shall promptly pay each Subcontractor upon receipt of payment from Owner of the
amount invoiced that is undisputed and due to such Subcontractor.

If notwithstanding the foregoing, a lien
is attached to the Plant, or the Plant Site, or any part thereof, without
limiting any other rights of Owner, Owner shall have the right, at its option,
to take all action reasonably necessary to discharge such lien upon thirty (30)
days prior written notice to Kiewit of such lien.  Kiewit shall reimburse Owner for all amounts
expended by Owner to obtain such discharge, including all costs and attorney’s
fees and expenses and Owner shall have the right to deduct such amounts from
payments otherwise due to Kiewit which will be debts due and payable by Kiewit
to Owner.

8.7                               Final Payment:  Kiewit shall invoice Owner for the final
amount due to it under this Contract upon reaching Final Acceptance.  Payment of all of the Contract Sum remaining
unpaid, and any and all other amounts owing to Kiewit under the Contract (less
and except any amounts owed by Kiewit to Owner), shall be made within thirty
(30) Days after Final Acceptance and receipt by Owner of a final invoice; provided,
that such payment shall not become due until Kiewit submits to Owner an
affidavit in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner that all
payrolls, undisputed amounts owed to Subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen
and any other indebtedness which might be or give rise to a lien against the
Plant or the Plant Site arising out of performance of the Work or any portion
thereof have been paid.

 29
 

8.8                               Effect of Payment

No payment, final or otherwise or
verification under this Article 8, shall constitute a waiver of claims by Owner
or constitute or be deemed an acceptance, in whole or in part, of any portion
of the Plant not in accordance with this Contract.

Upon receipt by Kiewit of payment in
respect of the final Application for Payment pursuant to Section 8.7 (“Final
Payment”), Kiewit releases Owner from any claim for payment for the Work.  For the avoidance of doubt, the sums paid to
Kiewit in respect of its final Application for Payment pursuant to Section 8.7
shall constitute a valid and binding Final Payment for the purposes of this
Section 8.8.

8.9                               Set-Off

Owner may deduct from moneys otherwise
due to Kiewit:

(i)            any debt or other moneys due from Kiewit to
Owner in relation to the Contract; and

(ii)           any claim to money which the Owner may have
against the Kiewit whether for damages (including liquidated damages) or
otherwise, under this Contract or otherwise at law relating to the Work.

9.             Rights of Owner and Kiewit to Suspend Work or
Terminate

9.1                               Owner’s Right to Terminate For Cause:  Owner may terminate this Contract if Kiewit
commits or is subject to (a) voluntary bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization
or insolvency; (b) involuntary bankruptcy liquidation, reorganization or
insolvency; (c) false or materially misleading representation or warranty; (d)
assignment or transfer without permission; (e) failure to maintain insurance
coverage as required; (f) failure to comply with any applicable law or permit;
(g) cessation or abandonment of the Services (unless due to an emergency and
then only for the duration necessitated by the emergency or due to Owner’s
failure to make payment as required); (h) failure to supply sufficient skilled
workers or suitable materials and equipment; (i) failure to achieve Substantial
Completion within one hundred eighty (180) Days of the Guaranteed Substantial
Completion Date; (j) failure to perform or observe any other material provision
of this Contract; or (k) termination or repudiation of the EPC Guaranty 

 30
 

or voluntary or
involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency of the guarantor under the EPC Guaranty;
and, in the case of (c), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (j), Kiewit fails to cure such
breach within thirty (30) Days (or such longer period (not to exceed one
hundred eighty (180) Days) in the case of (e), (f), (h) or (j)) from written
notice of such breach as may be commercially necessary.

Upon
such termination Owner may take possession of the Work completed by Kiewit or
delivered to the Plant Site and all materials and Equipment at the Plant Site
acquired for incorporation into the Work and owned by Owner or Kiewit, take
assignment of all purchase orders and subcontracts related to the Work and
complete the Work by whatever reasonable method Owner may deem expedient.  Owner shall permit Kiewit access to the Plant
Site after such termination as reasonably required by Kiewit to remove any
equipment, trailers, supplies, goods and materials maintained by Kiewit in
connection with the Work but not intended to be incorporated into the Plant, or
owned or used by any of its Subcontractors under subcontracts not to be
assigned to Owner.  In the event of
termination for any of the reasons set forth above, Kiewit will be liable to
Owner for any reasonable costs incurred by Owner to build the Plant as
specified, in excess of the Contract Sum, up to a maximum of one hundred
percent (100%) of the Contract Sum.  In
case of such termination, the license granted under Section 2.4 above shall
remain effective.

9.2                               Kiewit’s Right to Suspend Work:  If Owner does not pay Kiewit amounts that
Owner has certified in writing for payment by the date such payment is due,
then Kiewit may, upon fifteen (15) Days written notice to Owner, suspend the
Work until payment of the amount owing has been received.  If Kiewit suspends the Work under this Section 9.2,
then Kiewit shall be entitled to a change order in accordance with Article 6.

9.3                               Kiewit’s Right to Terminate:  Kiewit may terminate the Contract on fifteen
(15) Days written notice to Owner if the Work is suspended, without fault on
the part of Kiewit or, any of its Subcontractors, for more than one hundred
eighty (180) consecutive Days.  In such
event the termination shall be treated as if it were a termination for
convenience by Owner, in accordance with Section 9.4, except that no Termination
Fee shall be owed under Section 8.2 if such suspension 

 31
 

which resulted in such
termination included a suspension due to a Force Majeure Event.

9.4                               Termination for Convenience by Owner.  Owner shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to terminate this Contract for convenience by giving written notice
to Kiewit, but in the event of such termination for convenience, Owner will not
enter into a contract with another person or entity to construct the
Plant.  Upon such notice Kiewit shall
immediately stop work and take all necessary and prudent actions to protect and
preserve the Work, and to minimize Owner’s costs in terminating the project at
that stage of completion.  Upon such
termination Owner shall pay Kiewit (a) all amounts then due to it under this
Contract as of the date of termination, including all amounts completed but not
yet invoiced, and including the portions, if any, of such amounts that would
have been held as retainage in accordance with Section 8.3 (or shall release
the letter of credit in lieu of retainage, or the Punch-list letter of credit
as applicable),  (b) all unavoidable
costs payable to Subcontractors, including, without limitation, fees for
cancellation or breakage costs, and Kiewit’s costs of demobilization, and (c) a
termination fee calculated as set forth in Section 8.2, but in no event shall
the total of such amounts set forth in Paragraphs (a) - (c) above exceed the
Contract Sum.  For this purpose, the
amounts then due to Kiewit shall be deemed to be all amounts billed in accordance
with Exhibit B up to the date of termination, plus the value of all goods
delivered and services performed under this Contract and not billed as of the
date of termination less any amounts which have been prepaid by Owner for said
items.  In the event that the Parties
cannot agree on the total amount due within thirty (30) Days of the date of
Kiewit’s demand for payment hereunder and delivery by Kiewit to Owner of all
backup documentation supporting the amounts claimed to be owed by Kiewit, either
Party may initiate the Dispute Resolution process set forth in Article 18
below.

9.5                               Owner’s Right to Suspend.  Owner shall have the right, in its sole
discretion to suspend work under this Contract for periods of time up to one
hundred eighty (180) days individually and in the aggregate.  In such event, Kiewit shall be entitled to an
equitable adjustment to the Contract Sum and to the Schedule in accordance with
Article 6 herein, including, but not limited to, an adjustment for 

 32
 

costs of escalation for labor
and materials, unless such suspension is due to the failure of Kiewit or its
Subcontractors to act in accordance with Good Industry Standards in the
performance of their obligations under this Contract.

10.                               Safety and Security

10.1                        Premises:  Kiewit will keep the Plant Site clean and
orderly and will insure that its Subcontractors do likewise.  At completion of the Work, Kiewit shall leave
the Plant Site clean of all debris resulting from performance of the Work and
in an orderly condition, to enable safe and reliable operation of the Plant in
accordance with Applicable Laws.

10.2                        Security:  During construction and installation of the
Work, Kiewit shall be solely responsible to protect the Work and all Equipment
and materials to be used in connection with the Work and located on the Work
site safe from injury, defacement, theft or damage and all equipment owned or
leased by Kiewit or any of its Subcontractors, and all other equipment and
goods of any kind located at the Plant Site for the purpose of performing the
Work.  Kiewit shall hire guards and
watchmen as reasonably necessary to watch the Plant Site and shall take other
actions as appropriate to maintain the security of the Plant Site and prevent
loss or damage to the Plant, the Equipment or the Plant Site.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of
this Section 10.2, Kiewit shall ensure that lay-down and staging operations,
parking and warehousing, is adequately protected from theft, damage or
mischief.

10.3                        Safety:
Kiewit will insure all its labor and other authorized personnel comply with all
appropriate safety and security regulations, procedures or standards of Kiewit
and governmental authorities and in accordance with Owner’s safety standards
set forth in Exhibit S attached hereto. Kiewit shall furnish and maintain all
necessary safety equipment and training for its employees and shall maintain a
safe work site at all times.

 33
 

11.          Project
Execution

11.1                        Kiewit Representatives:  Kiewit will keep a competent Project Manager
(“Kiewit’s Project Manager”) assigned to the Work at all times during its
performance of the Work and shall immediately notify Owner of said appointment,
provided that the appointment shall be subject to the reasonable approval of
Owner.  Kiewit’s Project Manager shall
represent Kiewit, and written communications given to Kiewit’s Project Manager
shall be as binding as if given to Kiewit itself.  Kiewit shall have the Kiewit Project Manager
on site, or available in person or by telephone within twenty four 24 hours, at
all times during the performance of the Work.

11.2                        Owner Representative:  Owner will have at all times during the
progress of the Work, a competent representative (“Owner’s Representative”)
assigned to the Work.  Owner’s
Representative shall represent Owner, and written communications given to Owner’s
Representative shall be as binding as if given to Owner itself.  Owner shall have its Owner’s Representative
on site, or available in person or by telephone within twenty four 24 hours, at
all times during the performance of the Work.

11.3                        Project Reviews and Approvals:

11.3.1     Reviews:  Kiewit will, as appropriate, and additionally
upon Owner’s request, issue a project progress schedule to Owner which shall
include the schedule and status of construction and procurement activities and
estimated time to complete the Work. 
Kiewit shall participate in reviews of the progress of the Work at the
Work site at Owner’s request as set forth in Exhibit A, and if no provision for
progress reviews is made in such exhibit, at Owner’s request up to once each
month.  Owner may review and comment on
any plan, drawing or specification that Kiewit delivers to Owner.  No review or comment made by Owner shall result
in Owner’s being deemed to have assumed any responsibility for any of the Work.  Kiewit shall attempt to incorporate Owner’s
comments where it can do so without materially increasing Kiewit’s cost, the
time required for performance, or any of its other obligations, but Kiewit
shall have no obligation to suspend work to allow time for review and comment
except as 

 34
 

provided in the
Schedule, or to incorporate any of Owner’s comments except as required in order
to comply with Kiewit’s obligations under the Contract, or as agreed under
Article 6 above.

11.3.2     Approval Process:  If Exhibit A or the Schedule provides for
approval by Owner of any document, then, Owner shall be deemed to have given
its approval unless it delivers written notice of its disapproval, and the
specific reasons for its disapproval within the time allowed according to the
Exhibit or Schedule, or in the absence of statement of the time allowed, within
five (5) business days of receipt of the document or written request for
approval; In the event that the reason for disapproval by the reviewing Party
results from failure of the other Party (“submitting Party”) to fulfill any of
its obligations under this Contract, then the submitting Party shall correct
the work or document requiring correction and resubmit it for review.  The reviewing Party shall have the longer of
three (3) Business Days, or one-half the time allowed according to the
applicable Exhibit or Schedule if such time is prescribed, for the initial
review to approve or disapprove the resubmitted work or document, and it shall
be deemed to have given its approval unless it delivers written notice of its
disapproval, and the specific reasons for its disapproval, within that time.
The review and resubmittal process shall continue in like manner until the
submitted Work is approved.  In the event
that any disapproval results from a cause other than failure of the submitting
Party to fulfill any of its obligations under this Contract, the Guaranteed
Substantial Completion Date and other relevant milestones shall automatically
be extended as provided at Section 5.1 above.

11.4                        Notice of Subcontractor Selection:  Kiewit shall, as soon as practicable after
award of the Contract, furnish in writing to Owner the names of persons or
entities (including those who are proposed to furnish materials or Equipment
fabricated to a special design) proposed for major portions of the Work (over
$500,000).  If such person or entity is
not listed on the pre-approved list of major Subcontractors provided as Exhibit
T hereto, Owner may reasonably reject any such proposed person or entity,
provided that Owner must reject any such proposed Subcontractor within five (5)
Business Days after receipt by Owner of such proposal by Kiewit, or else such
proposed Subcontractor shall be deemed acceptable to Owner.  Subject to the preceding sentence, Owner
acknowledges 

 35
 

(i) that Kiewit,
particularly on large or fast-track projects, may not make final selection of
some Subcontractors until later in the project, and (ii) that Kiewit has the
right to select Subcontractors as long as such selection would not result in
failure by Kiewit to satisfy the requirements of this Contract.  The subcontracting of any portion of the
Work, as described in Exhibit A, shall not relieve Kiewit of responsibility for
performance of the Work as provided therein. 
Subject to the foregoing, Kiewit shall have the right to subcontract
such portions of the Work (but not all of the Work) as it shall determine to be
necessary to others which, in turn, shall have the right to subcontract such
portions of the Work assigned to them, if any, as they shall deem necessary.

Kiewit acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)                                  the provisions of this Section 11.4 shall
not operate to limit or relieve in any way any obligation of Kiewit to Owner
under this Contract, including obligations with respect to the conduct and
completion of the Work in strict accordance with the terms of this Contract;
and

(b)                                 it will be liable to Owner for all acts,
omissions and defaults of the Subcontractors (and those of the employees and
agents of the Subcontractors) relating to, or in any way connected with, the
Work, to the same extent as if they were the acts, omissions and defaults of
Kiewit.

11.5                        No Privity Between Subcontractors and Owner:  Nothing herein shall establish any
contractual relationship or privity between Owner and any Subcontractor.

11.6                        Relations with Subcontractors

All Work performed by any Subcontractor
will be accomplished pursuant to an appropriate agreement which shall provide
for a novation or assignment as set forth in Section 12.1.

 36
 

11.7                        Payments to Subcontractors

Owner shall have no obligation to pay, or
to cause the payment of, any moneys to any Subcontractor or any other person
acting through, under or on behalf of Kiewit.

12.          Warranty

12.1                        Warranty:  Kiewit warrants to Owner that the Plant will
be free from defects in design, material, and workmanship until twelve (12)
months from Substantial Completion.   If
any defect covered by the above warranties is discovered within the warranty
period, Kiewit shall, subject to the provisions set forth below, repair or
replace the defective design, workmanship, material or Equipment, and such
repair or replacement (including any ancillary or open “in and out” work
required to effectuate such repair or replacement) shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy for any warranty claims. 
Kiewit shall in no case have any liability, under this warranty or
otherwise, for any defect or deterioration which results from failure of Owner
to operate the Plant in accordance with applicable manuals and specifications,
or from ordinary wear and tear, or should Owner operate the Plant
negligently.  Work repaired under
warranty shall be re-warrantied for an additional twelve (12) months, provided
that all warranties shall expire twenty four (24) months from Substantial
Completion, provided any rework under the warranty is not defective.  At the end of the warranty period Kiewit
shall, for the protection of Owner, assign to Owner all warranties and
guarantees supplied by all major Subcontractors (over $500,000) from who it
procured goods or services incorporated into the Work and for any other
Subcontractors who have provided extended warranties.

Owner shall notify Kiewit of any defect covered by the warranty set
forth in Article 12 within thirty (30) Days after discovering such defect, (but
failure to so notify within said thirty (30) Days shall not constitute a waiver
of any warranty claim except to the extent Kiewit is prejudiced by any delay in
notification beyond any such 30 day period and then only to the extent of such
prejudice), and in no case later than five (5) Days after expiration of the applicable
warranty period.  ANY CLAIM FOR BREACH OF
WARRANTY NOT MADE IN WRITING WITHIN THE TIME PRESCRIBED IN THIS ARTICLE 12
SHALL BE DEEMED WAIVED.

Subcontractors or Subcontractors’ agents or employees, and shall repair or
replace any such damaged Work, structures, materials, or equipment at no
additional cost to Owner.  Where such
loss or damage is the result of the joint negligence of Kiewit or Kiewit’s
agents, employees, Subcontractors or Subcontractors’ agents or employees, with
any other party or third party including Owner, Owner’s other contractors,
agents or employees, lenders, and third parties,  Kiewit shall repair or replace such damaged
Work, structures, materials or equipment, at no additional cost to Owner;
provided, however, such repair or replacement obligation of Kiewit shall not
limit Kiewit’s right to obtain contribution or indemnity from other persons or
entities (including, without limitation, Owner, its agents and employees) who
were also jointly negligent.

 38
 

Upon Substantial Completion, Kiewit’s
responsibility to compensate Owner under this Article shall be limited to $500,000
per occurrence and Owner shall release and hold Kiewit harmless from liability

punitive, exemplary, or other consequential damages of any kind (including,
without limitation, lost profits, increase in costs of goods or services
resulting from delay, cost of capital or losses due to business interruption)
whether based in contract, tort or by operation of law, whether or not Kiewit
or Owner had knowledge of the damages that might result, except to the extent
of either Party’s obligations to indemnify for third party claims properly
characterized as 

 44
 

consequential
in nature.  Furthermore, Kiewit’s
cumulative liability for any and all losses, claims, or damages of any kind
under this Contract, including without limitation liquidated damages payable
under Article 5 or Article 7, shall in no event exceed *** of the Contract Sum,
which limitation shall be reduced to *** of the Contract Sum upon the
achievement of the Threshold; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations
of liability to *** of the Contract Sum upon the achievement of the Threshold
shall not apply to liability for (i) breach of Kiewit’s obligations to clear
liens in accordance with Section 8.6, (ii) fraud or willful misconduct by
Kiewit or its Subcontractors (iii) Kiewit’s indemnities pursuant to Article 15,
(iv) any right to insurance proceeds Owner may have as a result of its status
as “additional insured” on any policy of insurance supplied by Kiewit pursuant
to this Contract, or (v) Kiewit’s warranty obligations under Article 12;
provided however, that in any event the aggregate limitation of liability of
*** of the Contract Sum shall apply. 
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Kiewit’s liability
under this Contract as to costs associated with any defects in Delta-T scope of
work under Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T (i) which result in the failure to
achieve Substantial Completion shall be limited to *** and (ii) after achieving
Substantial Completion, which result in the failure to achieve the Threshold
shall be limited to the License Fee plus any proceeds from the insurance
coverage under Section 14.2(d) resulting from a claim(s) by Owner, and (iii)
after achieving the Threshold, which results in the failure to achieve the

liquidated damages described in Section 7.8 which would apply for failure to
achieve the Performance Guarantees, plus any proceeds from the insurance
coverage under Section 14.2(d) resulting from a claim(s) by Owner, minus any
amounts incurred by Kiewit under item (ii) of this sentence; provided, however,
in the event of Delta-T’s bankruptcy or insolvency which results in Delta-T not
paying to Kiewit amounts equal to the amount of Kiewit’s liability to Owner
under this sentence up to the applicable limitations on liability set forth
above in this sentence then in lieu of such applicable limitations on
liability, Kiewit’s liability shall be limited to the sum of (x) any amounts
paid by Delta-T to Kiewit with respect to such liability of Kiewit to Owner
under this sentence, (y) any amounts not yet paid by Kiewit to Delta-T under
Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T 

 45
 

(including
without limitation any retainages) and (z) any proceeds from the insurance
coverage under Section 14.2(d); but only if the sum of (x), (y) and (z) is
lower than the otherwise applicable limitation on liability set forth above in
this sentence.  For the avoidance of
doubt, the limitations of the preceding sentence shall not in any way limit the
insurance carrier’s obligations under such insurance coverage under Section
14.2(d) with respect to any such claim by Owner.  In addition, Kiewit shall be obligated to use
its best reasonable efforts to maximize payments under such coverage with
respect to any such claim(s) by Owner and Kiewit shall be obligated to use its
best reasonable efforts to maximize any recoveries from Delta-T and/or its
bankruptcy estate in the event of Delta-T’s insolvency or bankruptcy.

(a)           Notwithstanding any other provisions
in this Contract to the contrary, in no event shall Kiewit’s aggregate

for liquidated damages described in Section 7.8 associated with failure to
achieve the Anhydrous Fuel Ethanol Production Guarantee, Anhydrous Fuel Ethanol
Yield Guarantee, and the Natural Gas Consumption Guarantee due to Delta-T’s
design of the Plant exceed, individually and in the aggregate, ***, less any
amounts incurred by Kiewit under items (ii) and (iii) of the third to last
sentence (i.e. beginning with “Notwithstanding any provision. . .”)
of Section 16.1 above (excluding any proceeds from the insurance coverage under
Section 14.2(d)).

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Contract to the contrary, in no event shall Kiewit’s aggregate
liability for liquidated damages described in Section 5.1 and Section 7.8

20.5                        Survival:  Articles 15, 16, 18, 19, and 20 shall survive
termination of this Contract.

20.6                        Third Parties:  The Parties agree that this Contract is not
intended by either Party to give any benefits, rights, privileges, actions or
remedies to any person, partnership, firm or corporation (other than a Party or
its permitted assignee) as a third party beneficiary under any theory of law,
except to the extent such benefits, rights, privileges, actions or remedies are
specifically attributed to Delta-T.

20.7                        Equal Bargain and Representation:  The Parties have participated jointly in the
negotiations and drafting of this Contract. 
In the event that an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises, this Contract shall be construed as if 

 50
 

drafted
jointly by the Parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall
arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of
the provisions of this Contract.  Each of
the Parties acknowledges that it has been represented by legal counsel of its
own choice throughout all negotiations, preparation, review and execution of
this Contract, and that each Party has executed this Contract voluntarily and
with the consent and on the advice of any such legal counsel.  In entering into this Contract, each Party
has undertaken such factual inquiry as it has deemed necessary and has relied
solely on that inquiry and not on statements or representations of the other
Party except as expressly set forth in this Contract.

20.8                        Time Bar to Claims:  All claims by Owner against Kiewit arising
out of or in any way connected with this Contract or the services to be
performed hereunder, or by Owner against Delta-T arising out of or relating to
this Contract or the services to be performed hereunder, shall be barred and
under no circumstances shall any such claim be asserted by Owner unless
asserted in writing to Kiewit within four (4) years after the date of achieving
the Threshold, unless this Contract shall be terminated earlier, as provided
herein, in which case the date of termination of this Contract shall be the
date on which such period shall commence; provided, however, notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any claim is asserted by a third party against Owner for
which Owner would have a claim against Kiewit or Delta-T, including, but not
limited to, matters covered by Section 15.2 of this Contract, the foregoing
four (4) year limitation period shall not apply and instead a ten (10) year
limitation period shall apply.

20.9                        Representations:  Each Party represents and warrants to the
other as of the date hereof that:

(a)           Organization, Qualification and
Good Standing.  Such Party (a) is
duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its
state of organization, (b) is duly qualified to transact business and is in
good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the conduct of its
business requires it to so qualify, and (c) has all the requisite company power
and authority to own or

 51
 

hold
under lease its property and assets, and to transact the business in which it
is engaged.

(b)           Authority. This Contract has
been duly executed and delivered by such Party. 
Such Party has the full power and authority to enter into this Contract,
to make the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  The execution, delivery and performance of
this Contract and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have
been duly and validly authorized by all requisite company action on the part of
such Party.

(c)           Legally Binding.  This Contract and each of the documents
described herein to be executed by such Party constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance
with their terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, or other similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’
rights in general, and to moratorium laws from time to time in effect.

(d)           No Violation or Breach Resulting
from this Transaction.  Neither the
execution or delivery of this Contract by such Party nor the consummation by
such Party of the transactions contemplated hereby:

(i)            shall
constitute a violation or breach by such Party of any judgment, order, writ,
injunction or decrees issued against or imposed upon such Party; or

(ii)           shall
result in the violation by such Party of any applicable law, order, rule or
regulation or decree of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority.

20.10                 Kiewit’s Representations:  Kiewit represents to Owner as follows:

(i)            Upon
Substantial Completion and at all relevant times thereafter, the Plant  will be fit for its intended purposes;

 52
 

(ii)           Kiewit
shall perform its construction, installation, commissioning and testing
services hereunder in a good and workmanlike manner and otherwise in accordance
with Good Industry Standards;

(iii)          The
Plant will, at all times through Final Acceptance, comply with all Applicable
Laws, the applicable requirements of this Contract and Good Industry Standards;

(iv)          All
Work Materials procured or furnished by Kiewit hereunder shall be new or unused
(unless otherwise agreed by Owner in writing), of good quality and in
accordance with Good Industry Standards and the specifications set forth in
this Contract and the Schedules.

(v)           When
operated at the nameplate capacity in accordance with Delta-T operating
procedures, the Plant will not produce a process contact discharge effluent
stream.  All effluent generated by the
process units, over and above what is directly recycled to the process, will be
capable of being directed to the waste water collection tank described in
Exhibit A, which will be capable of receiving and holding all such effluent.
This tank will be capable of being utilized as a temporary storage location and
will be capable of allowing any off specification contents to be buffered prior
to being reintroduced into the process. 
Material from the waste water collection tank will be capable of being
recycled into the process at an appropriate flow rate.

20.11                 Time:  Time is of the essence in the performance of
all obligations of this Contract; provided however, that the only guarantees,
liabilities and liquidated damages that will apply with respect to this
obligation are those specifically stated in this Contract.

20.12                 Counterparts: 
This Contract may be executed by Kiewit and Owner in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Execution can be evidenced by fax signatures
with original signature pages to follow in due course.

 53
 

Witness Whereof, the Parties hereto have
executed this Contract on the 31 day of May, 2007.

3.3                   Geotechnical
Analysis and Foundation Basis

The
Scope of Work is based upon Exhibit D, Site Geotechnical Report dated April 20,
2007 (the Geotechnical Report”). To supplement this preliminary analysis, the
following comments are noted.

·                  The
corn silos will likely be on piles

·                  Other
areas of the plant are expected to be supported on native soil, geopiers, or to
over excavate and re-compact.

Kiewit’s
design also assumes no bedrock, or groundwater, other than as set forth in the
Geotechnical Report, will be encountered, and deep foundations i.e. piles,
geopiers, etc. will be used for the corn silo loads.  Other areas of the plant will use
over-excavated/re-compacted or native soil. 
The design assumes that all soils can be excavated with small scrapers
and used for fill.  The design does not
provide for the handling or disposal of unsuitable soils, buried refuse or
debris.  The design assumes that design
soil compaction can be achieved using the existing site soils.  All subsurface conditions shall be considered
to be consistent with native soils with no below grade obstructions.

A
final geotechnical report shall be provided by the Owner, coordinated with
Kiewit..  It shall include borings,
samples and laboratory testing sufficient to determine the existing soil
conditions for design and construction of the foundations and other specific
features for all major equipment items including tanks, cooling tower, stacks,

such process driven constraints shall be by a temporary rolling ladder.  Other valves will be located for ease of
access per the matrix below.  All manual
valves installed in pipe rack shall have chain wheel actuators.

The following descriptions and matrix define the standard access
provisions included in the proposal:

Type 1:  Room will be provided around the
item to allow temporary access by way of an owner provided personnel lift, step
ladder, scaffolding, scissor lift, etc. 
No permanent platform or ladder will be provided.  Level indicators and gauges will be located
and displays sized so they can be read.

PERFORMANCE TEST PROTOCOLS

1.             Performance Test Protocols

1.1           Pre-Test
Preparation

1.1.1        Prior to the
PERFORMANCE TEST, the Plant must have reached Mechanical Completion.  In addition, the OWNER must have run the
Plant at or near design rate consistently for a period of ***, as evidenced by
Plant operational data provided to KIEWIT by OWNER, before the PERFORMANCE TEST
is initiated. This *** operating period may be reduced or waived upon the
agreement of the KIEWIT Test Coordinator and the Owner Representative.  Before commencement of PERFORMANCE TEST,
KIEWIT shall notify OWNER in writing at least *** prior to planned commencement
of the PERFORMANCE TEST that all pre-test conditions have been satisfied,
including the following:

·              Adequate and
competent supervision, personnel and resources for effective operation,
maintenance and performance analysis of the Plant, including laboratory
analysis, temporary meters or other measuring devices and instrumentation
specified as to accuracy and reproducibility by KIEWIT in advance of the
PERFORMANCE TEST required to conduct and evaluate the PERFORMANCE TEST shall
have been furnished.  The Plant shall be
operated and maintained in accordance with the technical advice and instruction
from the Operations Manual and on-site directives from KIEWIT, and otherwise
within generally accepted practices within the fuel ethanol industry.

·              The Plant,
its machinery, equipment, instrumentation and piping, shall all be clean
lubricated where appropriate, leak tight, and ready to operate according to
design specifications.  All systems and
appropriate checkouts and calibrations shall have been completed and documented
by responsible Plant technicians, contractors, and/or vendors.  Analytical and any special test equipment and
reagents will have been calibrated and made accurate.

·              Cleaning
(CIP) of the process equipment has been accomplished *** or less before the
PERFORMANCE TEST per KIEWIT direction and standard procedures set out in the
KIEWIT Operations Manual. This requirement to CIP within *** may be reduced or
waived upon the agreement of the KIEWIT Test Coordinator and the Owner
Representative.  All ingredients and
supplies required to complete the test are on hand.  This includes, but is not limited to,
feedstock of corn (meeting specifications listed in Article 7 Section 1.2)
supplied in stable quantities sufficient to support Plant operation at a rate
up to *** of the guaranteed fuel ethanol production rate, as well as sufficient
steam, water, stable permanent power, and other utilities, enzymes, chemicals,
and other ingredients of the type specified by KIEWIT in the Operations Manual
and supplies to support Plant operation at a rate up to *** of the guaranteed
fuel ethanol production rate.

·              Adequate
operation, analytical, and maintenance support shall be scheduled for the test
period.

 1
 

1.2           Coordination

1.2.1        KIEWIT shall
coordinate the PERFORMANCE TEST with OWNER during the *** PERFORMANCE TEST
period.  This coordination of the
PERFORMANCE TEST activities will be handled by a KIEWIT Representative
designated to serve as KIEWIT’s Test Coordinator (“Test Coordinator”).  The Test Coordinator will work with an
individual designated by the OWNER to be its Representative for the PERFORMANCE
TEST to set the test schedule and to coordinate operations during the test
period. KIEWIT will also assign KIEWIT Shift Coordinators to support the
operation during the test period.

1.2.2        OWNER shall
supply, or cause to be supplied, all feedstock, utilities and other supplies
and services required to conduct the PERFORMANCE TEST, as specified under
Section 1.1.1 above, throughout the entire Plant during all PERFORMANCE TESTS.

1.2.3        OWNER shall
direct its personnel in the operation of the Plant in a manner consistent with
the operating parameters provided in the Operations Manual.  Owner’s personnel shall be under the
direction of Kiewit.

1.3           Conducting
the Test

1.3.1        The KIEWIT
Test Coordinator shall be provided with operating data by the OWNER sufficient
to verify that the Plant is operating at a condition suitable for initiation of
the PERFORMANCE TEST.  At the scheduled
start time of the PERFORMANCE TEST, the KIEWIT Test Coordinator will signal
that the test has formally begun and will direct operators to take the initial
test measurements. The test will be conducted over a *** period of
operation.  During the Test period, the
Plant shall be operated by the OWNER in compliance with the KIEWIT Operations
Manual and instructions provided by KIEWIT, including, without limitation,
adjustments in temperatures, pressures, feedstock rates, steam flow, and other
process control inputs, provided these adjustments do not result in unsafe
operating conditions.  Plant operators
will monitor and record operating data according to standard procedures and in addition
will record the supplemental data specified in this protocol on data sheets in
the form to be provided by KIEWIT. 
Records will be developed from permanent Plant equipment that is
calibrated immediately prior to test. 
All test measurements will be reviewed by the Test Coordinator (or a
designated Representative) and OWNER.  If
the Test Coordinator or the Owner Representative believes that there might be a
problem with the measurement method or reading, the reading will be retaken and
verified by the Test Coordinator and OWNER’S Representative. Immediately upon
the conclusion of the PERFORMANCE TEST, the Test Coordinator will meet with
Representatives of OWNER to review the test results.  KIEWIT and OWNER shall each be given a copy
of the test results.  If the Performance
Guarantees have been met, then OWNER shall promptly issue a notice to KIEWIT to
such effect.  If the PERFORMANCE TESTS
have not been met, then OWNER shall issue a written notice to KIEWIT within ***
of completion of the PERFORMANCE TESTS indicating in what manner such
Performance Guarantees have not been successfully completed.

1.3.2        If the ***
test period is interrupted for any reason within KIEWIT’s control or OWNER’S
control, a *** test period will resume after the cause for the interruption has
been corrected and the Plant has achieved an acceptable operating capacity at
substantially the same rate immediately prior to the interruption.  KIEWIT and OWNER shall stop the PERFORMANCE
TEST if it becomes obvious that it cannot be carried to a

 2
 

satisfactory
conclusion in the current attempt.  If
the PERFORMANCE TEST has been interrupted for reasons not attributable to
KIEWIT, and continues to be interrupted such that KIEWIT has spent a cumulative
period of *** on site since the commencement of the test, then OWNER shall
compensate KIEWIT for the personnel that KIEWIT has on site.  This compensation period shall begin on the
*** on site, and will continue until the completion of the PERFORMANCE TEST.  This compensation will cease should the
inability to complete the PERFORMANCE TEST be the fault of KIEWIT.  Compensation rates shall be at Kiewit’s
standard rates.

2.             Analytical/Calculation Protocols

	
  2.1           Undenatured
  Fuel Ethanol Quality

  
	
   

  
	
   

  	
  METHOD:

  	
  Analyze samples according to ASTM D4806-06. The last
  test result before emptying day tank into main storage tank shall determine
  the quality for the batch. The average of all batch test results over the
  test period shall be used in determining the quality for the PERFORMANCE TEST.
  If required, a separate sample may be denatured with *** denaturant and the
  tests repeated to ensure ASTM D4806-06 is met.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  If the fuel ethanol in the day tank does not meet
  the quality specifications of Article 7, KIEWIT has the discretion to send it
  on to the main storage tank (on the theory that the blended product in the
  main storage tank will meet the quality specifications) the average of all
  batch test results shall be used to establish the blended quality. If the
  blended fuel ethanol does not meet quality specifications as a result of
  below quality product measured in one or more day tank batches the volume of
  the batch(s) shall not be included in ethanol production “rate” quantities
  used in calculating liquidated damages.

  METHOD:

  	
  The day tank will be manually measured every *** to
  serve as the principal method of measurement of production volume, along with
  a final measurement of the day tank before the contents are sent to the main
  storage tank(s). In addition, flow totalizer readings will be taken from
  product meter or other measuring device mutually agreed upon between OWNER
  and KIEWIT at regular intervals as backup verification of the manual
  measurements. The total quantity of ethanol produced will be adjusted to a
  volume equivalent ethanol per ASTM D4806-06. Divide by the total number of test
  hours to determine the average rate over the test period

  2.3           Undenatured Fuel Ethanol Yield

  
	
   

  
	
   

  	
  BASIS:

  	
  See Section 7.3.1 Anhydrous Fuel Ethanol Yield of
  the General Conditions.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
  METHOD:

  	
  Record corn-weigh belt totalizer readings to measure
  the accumulated meal weight. Measure the sample moisture and starch content.
  Convert total undenatured ethanol volume from the Rate Test to weight at
  60oF. Divide the calculated mass quantity of undenatured ethanol by the
  calculated corn mass quantity of total starch fed over the time period to
  determine yield. In addition, this weigh belt total should be cross checked
  by totaling all corn receipts, subtracting all foreign material content, and
  taking into account the current corn bin volumes. OWNER and KIEWIT shall
  mutually agree on the method for the testing of dry fermentable solids.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
  TEST POINT:

  2.4           Natural Gas Consumption

  
	
   

  
	
   

  	
  METHOD:

  	
  Record Plant natural gas meter totalizer readings in
  MCF over test period. Obtain high heat value specification for gas from the
  utility providing natural gas to the site over the test period and calculate
  the BTU over the test period. Divide this value by the amount of undenatured
  ethanol produced during the test period to determine BTU per gallon of
  undenatured ethanol produced during the test period. Average results of all
  calculations for test period to determine natural gas consumption value for
  Performance Test.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
  TEST POINT:

2.5           Air
Emissions

Testing shall be performed in compliance with
the stricter of all applicable requirements of the USEPA and NDEQ.

2.6           Calculation
Protocol

All calculations will be based on actual
measured data taken during the test period. 
For any given sample period, the average value during that period will
be determined by the average of the measured data points for that sample period.  The liquidated damages, if any, will be
determined using the data collected for each individual sample period and
averaged over the PERFORMANCE TEST period. All samples shall be taken in
duplicate and OWNER and KIEWIT shall each retain one sample.  OWNER shall analyze one of the duplicates;
the second shall be reserved for use in case of a disagreement.  OWNER shall cause such analyses to be
conducted at the Plant during the PERFORMANCE TEST period and in the presence
of the Test Coordinator or such coordinator’s designee, and OWNER, and Lender’s
designated representative, if applicable, if they are present; provided,
however, if equipment for such testing is unavailable at the Plant the sample
will be sent to an outside laboratory reasonably acceptable to OWNER and KIEWIT
for analysis.  In case of disagreement, a
referee laboratory shall be selected by agreement between OWNER and KIEWIT, and
the cost of such referee laboratory shall be paid by the Party or Parties not
substantiated by the referee.  The findings
of this referee laboratory shall be accepted as final.

PROJECT
INFORMATION

Site Location and Description

This report presents the results of the geotechnical
evaluation performed for the proposed Ethanol Plant site located between County
Road ‘N’ and County Road ‘O’
along Highway 34, which is approximately 2 miles west of Aurora, Nebraska. The approximate location of
the proposed ethanol plant is shown on the Site Location Plan, included in
Appendix A.

At the time of our field exploration, the site was
undeveloped with the majority of the site consisting of irrigated farmland. It
should be noted that alfalfa was planted at the time of the field exploration.
The ground surface was relatively flat and sloped gradually to the south and
east. The existing site grades generally slope downward to the east and south
with existing ground elevations ranging from a high of about 1813.0 feet in the
western area of the site to a low of about 1802.0 feet in the southeast portion
of the site.

In addition to the agricultural land, a railroad line
running east and west is located along the southern boundary of the project
site. An existing farmstead was also noted in the northeast area of the project
site.

Project
Description

The purpose of the proposed ethanol plant is to
provide additional ethanol service to an existing ethanol plant which is
located directly to the east of the proposed site. In order to provide access
to the ethanol plant, a rail loop and overpass is currently under construction.
Loading for the proposed structures at the ethanol plant are based on the
structural information provided by Mark Rigdon with Bibb and Associates. A
table titled Tank and Vessel Weights for
the approximate structural loading conditions and proposed support types for
the ethanol plant are presented in Appendix E. The proposed buildings will be
slab-on-grade structures with an anticipated finished floor elevation near
1810.0 feet.

The proposed plant will initially be constructed to
produce 100 million gallons per year (mgpy) with the capability to be expanded
to an ultimate capacity of 220 mgpy. The ethanol plant will consist of grain
storage silos and DDG storage
silos, various process tanks, fermentation tanks, pre-engineered and engineered
buildings, storage tanks, cooling tower, DDGS
storage buildings and various equipment pads. The majority of the larger
tanks across the site will be supported on an intermediate or deep foundation
system with the majority of the buildings being supported on a shallow
foundation system. Note that several of the structures are anticipated to be
supported on a standard mat foundation system.

 2
 

At the time of this report no information was
available regarding the grain storage silos or DDG storage silos. It was
assumed based on previous experience that the grain storage silos will require
an allowable bearing capacity of at least 8,000 psf. Based on the foundation
support requirements, the grain storage silos will likely need to be supported
on a deep foundation system.

Based on the anticipated finished floor elevation of
1810.0 feet for the structures and the ground surface elevations obtained at
the boring locations by our survey team, maximum excavation depths of
approximately 3 feet and maximum fill depth of about 3 feet are anticipated in
the plant area. Concrete and/or asphalt paved access and frontage roads will be
located across the site along with new rail lines looping around the perimeter
of the proposed plant. In regards to the finished floor elevation of 1810.0,
the majority of the structures and buildings will be at or near this elevation
with exception to the receiving pit, which is typically bearing at a depth of
approximately 12 feet below the finished floor elevation of 1810.0.

A new bridge over the rail line is planned at the
plant entrance. The proposed overpass will enter from the plant from the west
and will be designed as a one-span structure, approximately 95 feet long. The
approach abutments and embankments will be constructed using mechanically
stabilized earth (MSE) walls. The approach embankments will have a maximum
height of 30 feet, at the abutments. A previous geotechnical investigation has
already been completed to address the foundation design for the bridge and MSE
walls.

A rail line loop is also being installed around the
perimeter of the proposed plant area. Earthen embankments will be constructed
to maintain the required grade for the rail line. Based on the site plan it is
anticipated that the top of rail (TOR) elevation will range from 1807.0 to
1814.0, which will require varying fill and excavation depths along the
alignment.

Note: At the time of this report, six storm water detention ponds were
planned across the proposed construction site with varying base elevations.

As stated previously, please note that the
recommendations for the overpass, MSE walls and rail loop were provided in the
Preliminary Report of Geotechnical Exploration for the Proposed Ethanol Plant,
Aurora, Nebraska, dated June 2006 and the Report of Geotechnical Exploration
for the Aurora Coop Expansion, dated August 28, 2006.

EXPLORATORY AND TEST
PROCEDURES

Field Exploration

The field exploration program for the final
investigation at the ethanol site consisted of performing 29 soil test borings
at the locations depicted on the Boring Location Plan (Appendix A). The borings
were staked and the ground surface elevations determined in the field by an OA survey crew. Note
that in addition to the soil test borings and laboratory data for the final
report, review was made of several supplemental reports that were conducted as
part of the varying construction operations for the proposed ethanol plant.
Please reference the Preliminary Report of Geotechnical Exploration for the
Proposed Ethanol Plant, Aurora, Nebraska, dated June 2006 and the Report of
Geotechnical Exploration for the Aurora Coop Expansion, dated August 28, 2006
for the additional information.

The soil test borings were advanced to depths ranging
from 20 to 80 feet with a truck-mounted drill rig using 4-inch diameter
continuous-flight augers. Soil samples were obtained at selected intervals in
the test borings. Soil samples designated as “U” samples on the boring logs
(Appendix B) were obtained in general accordance with ASTM D-1587 (Thin-Walled
Tube Sampling of Soils). Soil samples designated as “SS” samples were obtained
in general accordance with ASTM D-1586 (Penetration Test and Split-Barrel
Sampling of Soils). Recovered samples were sealed in steel tubes and
transported to a laboratory where they were extruded, sealed in plastic
containers, labeled and stored for future laboratory testing.

Descriptions of the soils encountered in the soil test
borings were prepared in general accordance with ASTM D-2488 (Visual-Manual
Procedure for Description and Identification of Soils). Soil stratification, as
shown on the Boring Logs, represents soil conditions at the boring locations;
however, variations may occur between or around the boring locations. The lines
of demarcation represent the approximate boundary between soil types, but the
transition may be more gradual. Water level readings were obtained in the drill
holes at the times and under conditions stated on the Boring Logs.

Laboratory Testing

Descriptions of the soils encountered in the soil test
borings were prepared in general accordance with ASTM D-2488 (Visual-Manual
Procedure for Description and Identification of Soils). Soil stratification, as
shown on the Boring Logs, represents soil conditions at the boring locations;
however, variations may occur between or around the boring locations. The lines
of demarcation represent the approximate boundary between soil types, but the
transition may be more gradual.

 4
 

Laboratory tests were performed to evaluate the
engineering properties of the recovered soil samples. Unconfined compression
tests were used to define the stress-strain characteristics and related shear
strength of the cohesive soils. Consolidation tests were performed on
thin-walled tube samples of foundation material to evaluate consolidation
characteristics under an in-situ and saturated condition. Atterberg Limits
tests were conducted to aid in the classification of the soils under the
Unified Soils Classification System and to evaluate the shrink/swell
characteristics of the soils.

All tests were conducted in general accordance with
current American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) or other appropriate
test procedures. A summary of the laboratory test results is presented in
Appendix C.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS

Test Boring Summary

The following soil types were encountered in the soil
test borings performed at the site.

Developed Zone

Every soil test boring encountered a varying thickness
of developed zone (approximately 6 to 12 inches in
depth), which consisted of varying amounts of organics and roots. Organic
material is typically considered unsuitable for structural support or for use
as structural fill due to its high organic content. For budgeting purposes, a
10-inch depth is recommended for topsoil removal.

Peoria Loess

Peoria loess was encountered beneath the developed
zone (See Appendix B Boring Logs for locations and depths regarding where the
lean clay was encountered). Soils identified as Peoria loess generally were light brown to dark
brown, dry to very moist, lean clay. Laboratory tests on recovered soil samples
from this stratum depicted moisture contents ranging from 11.2 to 30.1 percent,
dry densities ranging from 81.9 to 110.5 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) and
unconfined compressive strengths ranging from 0.5 to 1.8 tons per square foot
(tsf). Atterberg limit tests performed on the Peoria loess soils indicated
liquid limits ranging from 35 to 40 and plastic indexes ranging from 14 to 20.
The unconfined compressive strength values indicate a soft to stiff consistency
for the cohesive Peoria loess soils.

Sangamon Formation

The Sangamon Formation was encountered beneath the
Peoria loess (See Appendix B
Boring Logs for locations and
depths regarding where the lean clay was encountered). Soils identified as part
of the Sangamon Formation generally were dark brown to dark reddish brown,
moist to very moist, lean clay. Laboratory tests on recovered soil samples from
this stratum depicted moisture contents ranging from 24.7 to 29.9 percent, dry
densities ranging from 85.0 to 95.9 pcf and unconfined compressive strengths
ranging from 0.8 to 1.0 tsf. The unconfined compressive strength values
indicate a firm to stiff consistency for the cohesive Sangamon soils.

 6
 

Loveland Formation

The Loveland formation was encountered beneath the
Sangamon Formation at varying depths across the site (See Appendix B Boring
Logs for location and depths regarding where the lean clay was encountered). Soils identified as the
Loveland formation generally were reddish brown to brown, moist to very, lean
clay. Laboratory tests on recovered soil samples from this stratum depicted
moisture contents ranging from 15.3 to 27.2 percent, dry densities ranging from
91.2 to 112.9 pcf and unconfined compressive strengths ranging from 0.7 to 3.3
tsf. Atterberg limit tests performed on the Loveland formation indicated liquid
limits ranging from 29 to 40 and plastic indexes ranging from 13 to 24. The
unconfined compressive strength values indicate a firm to very stiff consistency
for the cohesive Loveland formation soils.

Alluvium

The alluvium was encountered at varying depths across
the site (See Appendix B Boring Logs for location and depths regarding where
the poorly graded to clayey sand was encountered). Soils identified as alluvium
generally were light brown, moist to wet, clayey sand to poorly graded sand.
The blow counts for the poorly graded alluvium typically ranged from 10 to 67
blows per foot (bpf) indicating a relative density ranging from medium dense to
very dense. In addition to the poorly graded sands, lean clay was also noted in
soil test borings B-20 and B-23.

After completion of the drilling operations, ground
water was not encountered in any of the soil test borings. We note that
groundwater levels will fluctuate depending on seasonal variations of
precipitation and other factors such as temporary perched conditions near the
retention ponds that were not evident or present at the time of drilling.
Ultimately, these conditions may result in a groundwater condition that is at a
higher elevation at some time in the future. The Drainage and Groundwater Consideration section of this
report will address any site drainage concerns.

Note: The
previously reported laboratory test data is based solely on the soil test
borings that were conducted for this
investigation. Review should be made to the Preliminary Report of Geotechnical
Exploration for the Proposed Ethanol Plant, Aurora, Nebraska, dated June 2006
and the Report of Geotechnical Exploration for the Aurora Coop Expansion, dated
August 28, 2006 for more information on the laboratory test data.

CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS

The conclusions and recommendations presented in the
following sections of this report are based on the information available
regarding the proposed construction, the results obtained from our soil test borings and laboratory tests, and our
experience with similar projects. Because the samples obtained from the soil
test borings represent a very small statistical sampling of subsurface
conditions, it is possible that conditions will be encountered during
construction that are substantially different from those indicated by the soil
test borings. In these instances, adjustments to design and construction may be
necessary.

The recommendations presented in this report are based
on the Site Plan and project information provided by Aventine Renewable Energy,
Inc, Bibb and Associates and the assumptions stated in this report. Changes in
the proposed location or design of the structures can have significant effects on the conclusions and recommendations of the
geotechnical report. OA
should be contacted in the event of such changes to re-evaluate our
recommendations.

Site Preparation – Non-Building Areas

Site preparation should begin by removing all vegetation,
trees, topsoil, roots, and other deleterious materials. A minimum stripping
depth of 10 inches
will be required to remove the developed zone material. The stripping depth
should be adjusted as necessary in the field to remove all topsoil. The stripped material shall be removed from the
proposed construction areas. The topsoil strippings are suitable fill material
for covering the last 6 to 9 inches of earthen berms and excavation slopes
along with filling in any landscape areas.

In the farm stead area, any
required tree removal should also be completed at this time. Care should be
taken to thoroughly remove all root systems from the proposed construction
areas. Materials disturbed during removal of stumps should be undercut and
replaced with structural fill. A zone of desiccated soils may exist in the
vicinity of the trees. The desiccated soils have a higher swell potential and
should also be undercut and replaced with structural fill. Deeper organic soils
may be encountered within more heavily tree-covered areas, which should also be
undercut and stockpiled with the topsoil materials.

Site clearing, grubbing, and stripping will need to be
performed only during dry weather conditions. Operation of heavy equipment on
the site during wet conditions could result in excessive rutting and mixing of
organic debris with the underlying soils.

 8
 

Proofrolling operations are recommended in the
non-building areas since future expansion is possible. Any areas to receive
structural fill in future building or tank areas should be proofrolled with a
loaded dump truck, scraper, or similar rubber-tired equipment weighing at least
25 tons. Proofrolling should also be performed in areas requiring mass
excavation after the rough finished subgrade elevation has been achieved. Proofrolling
operations should be observed on a full-time basis by a qualified inspector.
Unstable and unsuitable soils, which are revealed by proofrolling and which
cannot be adequately densified in-place, should be removed under the direction
of the full-time inspector. It may be necessary to perform selective removal of
soft, wet soils and/or stabilize existing soft soils in-place. If required, the
methods of stabilization will typically include a lift of crushed stone
materials or a geosynthetic over the soft soils. The areas that may require
undercutting and/or stabilization should be identified at the time of
construction, and the stabilization method recommended will depend on the
location and depth of the soft area.

Fill placed in the non-building areas should be
compacted in accordance with the recommendations stated in the Structural Fill section of the report.

Note: In
addition to the tree removal at the existing farm stead in the northwest area
of the project site, it will also be
critical that all existing building foundations and any grain bin foundation
areas be excavated and replaced with structural fill in accordance with the
structural fill section of this report. Care should be given to insure that all
rubble and concrete associated with demolition operations be removed in its
entirety from the project site.

Site Preparation
-Buildings and Tank Areas

In all new fill and excavation areas, vegetation,
topsoil, roots, and other deleterious materials (typically 10 inches in depth),
deemed unsuitable by the engineer’s field representative shall be removed from
the proposed construction areas, and replaced with controlled fill. The topsoil
strippings are suitable fill material for covering the last 6 to 9 inches of earthen berms and
excavation slopes along with filling in landscape areas. Note that due to the
varying crops that have been planted over the years it will be critical that
the engineer’s field representative be present to insure all topsoil is
properly removed. Areas of extensive root development (especially from alfalfa
vegetation) may require additional core-out operations to insure an adequate
subgrade is achieved prior to placement of any structural fill.

 9
 

Any required tree removal should also be completed at
this time. Care should be taken to thoroughly remove all root systems from the
proposed construction areas. Materials disturbed during removal of stumps
should be undercut and replaced with structural fill. A zone of desiccated
soils may exist in the vicinity of the trees. The desiccated soils have a
higher swell potential and should also be undercut and replaced with structural
fill. Deeper organic soils may be encountered within more heavily tree-covered
areas, which should also be undercut and stockpiled with the topsoil materials.

Site clearing, grubbing, and stripping will need to be
performed only during dry weather conditions. Operation of heavy equipment on
the site during wet conditions could result in excessive rutting and mixing of
organic debris with the underlying soils.

The areas to receive structural fill in the building
and tank areas should be proofrolled with a loaded dump truck, scraper, or
similar rubber-tired equipment weighing at least 25 tons. Proofrolling should
also be performed in areas requiring mass excavation after rough finished
subgrade elevation has been achieved. Proofrolling operations should be
observed by a full-time inspector. Unstable and unsuitable soils, which are
revealed by proofrolling and which cannot be adequately densified in-place,
should be removed under the direction of the full-time inspector. It may be
necessary to perform selective removal of soft, wet soils and/or stabilize
existing soft soils in-place. If required, the methods of stabilization will
typically include a lift of crushed stone materials or a geosynthetic over the
soft soils. The identification of areas that may require undercutting and/or
stabilization should be based on the actual conditions at the time of
construction, and will depend on the location of the soft area.

NOTE: Information obtained during the
field exploration and laboratory testing indicated that there are areas of weak
material present across the site. Therefore, it will be critical that
proofrolling operations occur across the entire area of the proposed site in
order to identify these areas that are near the existing ground surface.
Failure to identify and remediate these areas, could result in excessive
movement of structures once construction is completed.

Foundation Design

Based on the foundation loading requirements for the
proposed structures and stipulated soil bearing capacity conditions, Table 1 is provided to define the acceptable
bearing capacity, type of foundation system required and the estimated
settlements associated with the various loading conditions. Based on the
allowable bearing capacity that is utilized, Table 1 references the recommended foundation system that is at or
just below the allowable settlement tolerances.

Note 1) Lack of foundation information does not allow for estimation of
settlement. Assumed structure will be supported on an equipment mat.

Note 2) * - No applied load was provided. Reported bearing indicates an
allowable bearing capacity.

Note 3) ** - Indicates applied bearing load was calculated from footing
dimensions and structure loads

 11
 

Please note that the settlement values listed in Table
1 were calculated based on two conditions. The first condition, listed under
the “existing” column, analyzed the soils beneath the foundation elements under
the assumption that in-situ soil would remain at the current moisture contents
and saturation percentages. The second condition, listed under the “saturated”
column, analyzed the soils beneath the foundation elements under the assumption
that they became saturated. Overall, the risk of moisture increases and
additional consolidation settlement is dependent on the surface drainage
conditions and proximity of the structures as they relate to the retention pond
locations. These assumptions and well as the degree of conservatism was taken
into account when determining the recommended foundation system.

DDGS
Storage Building

Based on information from Bibb and Associates and
experience with similar structures, it is anticipated that the DDGS Storage
Building will be supported on a shallow foundation to carry the building load
and a mat foundation/concrete floor slab to carry the live load within the
building. Loading conditions, provided by Bibb and Associates indicated a dead
load of 2,000 psf for the building structure and an assumed live load of 1,500
psf, would be sufficient for the interior portion of the building where the concrete floor slab is supporting
the grain.

Based on the site plan provided by Aventine, it was
assumed that the total dimension of the DDGS storage building will be
approximately 120 by 600 feet. Loading conditions indicate that the DDGS
Storage Building can tolerate 1-inch total and 1⁄2-inch differential movement.
Due to the deep influence zone induced by the mat foundation/concrete floor
slab and the anticipated live load of 1,500 psf, remedial measures are recommended to
properly support the proposed structure.

Note: The
information contained within the section of the report is based on the
assumption that there will be no column loads within the interior portion of
the DDGS Storage building. If this assumption is found to be inaccurate, OA  should be contacted to reevaluate this
section of the report.

Settlement data was utilized to determine the
anticipated settlement for the proposed DDGS Storage Building under two
conditions. The first condition, analyzed the foundation under a saturated
condition, assuming that all of the subgrade would become saturated at some
point. The second condition analyzed the foundation under an “in-situ”
condition, which assumed that the existing subgrade would remain at its current
moisture content and saturation percentage. Based on those assumptions, the
anticipated settlement for the first and second conditions resulted in
settlement that ranged from 2 to 3 inches and 1 to 2 inches, respectively.
Based on previous experience with structures of this size, tolerable ranges of
settlement are approximately 2-inch total and 1-inch differential were used as the controlling
criteria in our analysis.

 12
 

Based on an assumed finished floor elevation of 1810.0, the placement of approximately
3 to 5 feet of structural fill will be required to reach the floor
subgrade elevation. In addition to the structural fill placement within the
building footprint and at least 10 feet
beyond the perimeter of the DDGS Storage Building a surcharge to an elevation
of 1818.0 is required. The
intent of the proposed surcharge is to induce consolidation of the underlying
soft compressive layers of soil prior to construction operations. The area of
surcharge is shown on the Surcharge/Settlement Plate Map (Included in Appendix
F).

Based on construction sequence regarding grading
operations with respect to foundation installation, it is recommended that mass
grading and associated surcharge operations be completed at least 45 to 60 days in advance of foundation/footing construction. The
duration of the surcharge or time rate to achieve 90 percent consolidation assumed a double drainage condition. It
is recommended that settlement monitoring be implemented to determine when
settlement is complete. Two settlement-monitoring plates with locations
identified on the Surcharge/Settlement Plate Map (included in Appendix F) are recommended in the areas of the
DDGS Storage building. The two settlement plates will verify when primary
consolidation is complete while providing the necessary documentation required
to determine when foundation excavation operations can begin. The settlement
plates should be installed at the present ground surface. During the
consolidation process, the elevation of the settlement monuments should be
monitored at least twice a week and surveyed to the nearest l00th of a foot. Note that a surcharge load
was applied to the Dry Fertilizer Plant as part of the Coop Expansion which
resulted in approximately 1.5 inches
of settlement in a period of 50 days.
Based on the site conditions for the proposed plant, a similar time frame
should be expected for the DDGS Storage Building.

All structural fill should be compacted in accordance
to the recommendations stated in the Structural
Fill section of this report. In regards to the surcharge material
placed above the finished floor elevation, it is recommended the material be
compacted to at least 90 percent
of the proctor value. No moisture range is specified for the surcharge material
since it will be removed after the settlement is complete. Because the area of the DDGS Storage building will
require structural fill to achieve the finished floor elevation of 1810.0, it is an option after the
structural fill is placed to utilize the strippings of the developed zone from
across the site as the surcharge material placed above the finish floor
elevation. It should be noted, that the developed zone is only suitable for
areas of surcharge and care should be used to ensure all of the developed zone
strippings are removed from the building area after completion of the
surcharge.

 13

Upon completion of construction of the DDGS Storage
Building, it will be critical that absolutely no moisture may be allowed to
enter or weep into the area below the concrete floor slab. To prevent moisture
from entering between the areas within the perimeter wall footings it is
recommended that caulking be placed in any cold joints and the area beyond the
building must have sufficient drainage away from the foundation system.

The site should be graded at a minimum of a 20H:1V
slope away from the proposed building, and this should extend a minimum of 40
foot beyond the perimeter of the building. If a slope of 20H:1V is not
attainable, concrete pavement should be used to prevent water from entering the
subgrade soils around the structure. All cracks and voids in the paving areas
must be sealed with caulk to prevent water from infiltrating into the
underlying subgrade. As an extra precaution, a high density polyethylene (HDPE)
membrane could be attached to the perimeter of the foundation wall to promote
drainage away from the foundation systems and minimize the risk of surface
runoff from infiltrating into the soil subgrade below the bearing surface of
the grain silos, which could ultimately induce additional settlement. If
utilized, the HPDE membrane should extend a minimum horizontal distance at
least 10 feet out from the ring wall footing.

Note: It is critical these site drainage
recommendations be implemented to prevent excessive  settlement.

Shallow
Foundations

Based on the results of the subsurface exploration,
laboratory test results, and our engineering evaluation, the subsurface
conditions at this site are suitable for supporting the proposed structures as
identified in Table 1 on a shallow foundation system. The appropriate
foundation system should be selected based on tolerable settlement limits for
the respective structure. At the proposed finished floor elevations near 1080.0
feet (USGS datum), the exterior and interior shallow foundation system will be
supported in the natural clay soils or structural fill, depending on location.

Based on the laboratory test results and the drilling
exploration, we recommend that the footings for the structures be designed for
the allowable bearing capacities shown in Table 1. The net allowable bearing
pressure refers to the bearing pressure at foundation level in excess of the
surrounding overburden pressure. The recommended soil bearing capacity includes
a factor of safety of at least 3 against shear failure. Footings should have
minimum dimensions in accordance with local building codes. Exterior footings
and footings in unheated areas should bear at a minimum depth

 14
 

of 3.5
feet below the lowest adjacent final ground surface. It is recommended
that any interior footings in heated areas bear at a depth as shallow as possible
below the lowest adjacent final ground surface. The analysis for interior and
exterior footings utilized a bearing depth of 2 and 3.5 feet, respectively, below the finished floor
elevation.

Based on the soil properties estimated for this site,
and assuming the recommended bearing capacity from Table 1 for the shallow foundation systems
are utilized, any consolidation of the underlying soil is anticipated to be
within the tolerable ranges. Provided the recommendations contained in this
report are followed, total post-construction settlements are anticipated to be
in the ranges as shown in Table 1. To reduce effects of differential settlement
and lateral load forces, a floating floor slab, independent from the wall and
column loads, with expansion joints will be critical in minimizing the
potential cracking that can occur along and around the proposed foundation
system. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage cracks.

It is possible that some soils at the site will have an
allowable soil bearing pressure less than the recommended design value.
Therefore, foundation bearing surface evaluations should be performed by an OA representative
during footing construction to aid in the identification of such soils. After
the evaluations and any required remedial measures are performed, concrete
should be placed as quickly as possible to avoid exposure of the foundation
subsoils to wetting, drying or freezing. If soils in the areas of the
foundation support are subjected to such conditions, the footing excavations
should be reevaluated.

Intermediate Foundation System

Based on the existing site conditions, required
bearing capacities and risk of unacceptable settlement, it is our
recommendation that the heavier loaded structures referenced in Table 2 can also be supported on an
intermediate foundation system.

In order to achieve total and differential settlement
values and to obtain required bearing capacities, we recommend utilizing an
intermediate foundation system that can be provided by Geopier© or vibro stone columns. In our opinion, due to
the deep influence zones of the large mat and tank foundations; core-out or
surcharge load operations would not be feasible due to the extreme depth of
excavation or height of surcharge that would be required to reduce the
settlements to within acceptable limits. In addition, these types of remedial
measures also cause time delays on the order of 60 to 90 days which can often
slow down the construction activity on site.

 15
 

The intermediate foundation system would require
certain structures be supported on a Geopier© or
vibro stone column system. Either foundation system would extend through the
compressible zones of material that exist beneath the footprint of the proposed
structures and bear into the stiffer material below.

Upon completion of the structural foundation plans,
The Geopier Foundation Company, Hayward Baker and Subsurface Constructors, Inc.
should be contacted to provide
feasibility, design and cost information for the use of either Geopiers© or vibro stone columns, respectively. The
following table provides the location, point of contact and respective phone
numbers.

The intermediate systems should include the total cost
associated with mobilization, installation of Geopier© or
vibro stone columns including concerns related to ground water and soil
stabilization of the drilled shaft, and removal of any spoil piles. Based on
the most economical cost that meets the previously stated criteria, it is
recommended that Aventine Renewable Energy, Inc. enter into an agreement with
one of the three companies, so a cost to stabilize the soil can be completed
immediately upon completion of the grading operations. Bibb & Associates should be able to
provide each firm with the structural drawings that requires the foundation
system to be supported on an intermediate system. The intermediate foundation
company should also provide recommendations regarding how the shallow footing
system is to be supported and/or connected to the intermediate foundation
system. OA
can provide any input needed to assist in development of those recommendations
as well as help coordinate the bidding and award process between the three
companies so Aventine Renewable Energy, Inc. receives the most economical bid
price.

 16
 

The Geopier© or
vibro stone column option will also result in reduced installation time for a
given footing location, compared to the time required for installation
associated with augered-in-place piles. A vibro stone column or Geopier© system allows for the installation of the
concrete footing immediately after the column of crushed aggregate is placed.

Deep Foundation System

Based on the existing site conditions and required
foundation bearing capacities, it is our recommendation the grain elevators and
grain storage silos be supported on a deep foundation system.

In order to achieve total and differential settlement
values and to obtain required bearing capacities, we recommend utilizing an
auger cast-in-place foundation system. In our opinion, due to the deep
influence zones of the large mat and tank foundations; core-out operations
would not be feasible due to the extreme depth of excavation that would be required
to reduce the settlements to within acceptable limits.

We recommend the final design utilize auger
cast-in-place piles to support the associated mat foundations and tanks. The
auger cast-in-place piles should be based on the following:

I.                            Piles
consisting of augered cast-in-place concrete piles utilizing the individual
allowable compressive capacities shown in Table 3. A tension capacity equal to three tenths the compressive
capacity should be assumed in final design. Minimum center-to-center pile
spacing should be no less than 3 pile diameters. No reduction in individual
pile capacity for group action is needed for this spacing. The structural
capacity of the piles should be determined using applicable AASHTO codes.

II.                        It
is our recommendation the augered, cast-in-place piles bear into the medium
dense to dense poorly graded sand. Table 3 indicates the proposed bearing depth
of the augered, cast-in-place pile.

·                             Specification
requirements that are needed for augered, cast-in-place, concrete piles include
design of the grout mix to limit bleeding of completed piles and contractor
responsibility for increased length of piles or additional piles to compensate
for soil disturbance if it is necessary to withdraw the auger without grouting.
The grout mix at a minimum should be required to achieve a 28-day compressive
strength of 4,000 psi. The contractor should be assigned responsibility for any
effects pile installation has on previously installed piles, and to lengthen
the disturbed pile as directed by the geotechnical engineer. It is advisable to
prohibit installation of piles less than 6 pile diameters apart, on the same
day, to reduce the risk of disturbance to piles containing uncured grout. To
check the suitability of the bearing stratum during pile installation, a
full-time OA representative
should verify that the base depth is no higher than the elevations stated in
Table 3 and that each cast-in-place pile is drilled into the medium dense to
dense poorly graded sand. The addition of water to aid in drilling should not
be allowed. Should the piles be required to resist uplift loads the structural
engineer will be required to determine the reinforcement depth through
consultation with the geotechnical engineer. In accordance with ACI 318-10.9.1
reinforcing consisting of about 1 percent of the pile cross sectional area to a
depth of 10 to 15 feet is common
for the augered piles to accommodate incidental bending moments and transient
lateral loads. Ultimately the structural engineer should determine the
reinforcement required and overall depth based on the design condition
parameters.

 18
 

IV.                    Specifications
should require the contractor to provide a grout head pump that will maintain
six to eight feet of grout head pressure. It is recommended the specification
state that the  auger be extracted at a
regular rate of no greater than 2 to
3 feet per second, and the entire cast-in-place pile be placed in a single
continuous pour. No construction joints are to be allowed within the pile. It
should be noted that the recommended extraction rate is based off of a pump
capacity of 1 cubic foot per
stroke, and the extraction rate should be adjusted based on the capacity of the
grout pump.

V.                        A
previously performed load test was completed for the Coop Expansion and field
verified the bearing capacity and associated settlement is within the design
parameters, therefore we do feel it is necessary to perform a pile load test of
the auger cast pile.

VI.                    In
regards to the connection of the grain bins and silos to the perimeter footing
of the ring wall foundations, we recommend utilizing flashing, or some other
type of preventative  measure, to ensure
that rainwater doesn’t seep or drain into the area between the base of  the tank and concrete mat.

VII.                Based
on the existing soil conditions encountered in the clays, silts and sands, a
lateral modulus of subgrade reaction value of 150 kips per cubic foot is
recommended.

VIII.            Upon completion of the deep foundation
system for each structure and the placement of the structural fill, total post-
construction settlements are anticipated to be 1 inch or less with  minimal, if any, differential settlements.

Please note that while this section of the report is
specific to the grain silos and DDG silos, the above recommendations are also
applicable to the various tanks and structures that were recommended to utilize
an intermediate or deep foundation system in Table 1. In the event that it was found to
be more cost effective to utilize a deep foundation system rather than a
vibro-stone column or Geopier© system, the above recommendations should be
utilized for foundation design.

Floor Slab Subgrade
Preparation

The soil subgrade in the areas of concrete
slab-on-grade support is often disturbed during foundation and superstructure
construction. Additionally, floor slab areas are often disturbed by
construction equipment traffic between the time of initial grading and final
construction. To prepare the floor slab subgrade, the top 12 inches of the
subgrade in the building areas below the floor slab

 19
 

should be compacted to a minimum of 98 percent of the
maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698-91, Standard Proctor
Moisture-Density Relationship. The moisture content should also be controlled between
-1 and +3 percent of the optimum. The final subgrade should be proofrolled and
evaluated by a full-time inspector immediately prior to placement of the
concrete to detect any localized areas of instability. If unstable soils are
encountered which cannot be adequately densified in place, such soils will
typically require the installation of additional crushed stone materials or a
geosynthetic over the soft soils.

Regarding the potential for expansive clays, numerous
Atterberg limit tests were performed on the soils at the site. Per the
graphical plots of the liquid limit and plasticity indexes, expansive soils
were encountered at various locations. However, the depth in which they were
encountered was well below the anticipated floor elevation and will not
influence construction operations. Therefore, no additional remedial measures
are deemed necessary to achieve the required criteria of less than 3¤4  inches
of potential vertical rise of an exposed concrete floor slab in the building.

Based on the fact that groundwater was not encountered
at the time of final drilling operations, the placement of a synthetic barrier
to minimize potential vapor rise through the slab is not necessary. Assuming
these recommendations are implemented, a subgrade modulus of at least 150
psi/in for the floor slab design is acceptable.

Structural Fill

During construction, we recommend that fill materials
placed in the building areas have a liquid limit of less than 50 and a
plasticity index less than 30. Whenever possible, highly plastic silt (MH) or
fat clay (CH) soils should not be placed within the upper 3 feet of the final
ground elevation. Soils in this zone, which have a liquid limit greater than 50 and a
plasticity index greater than 30 will typically require removal or blending
with less plastic materials to result in lower Atterberg limits.

In addition to the plasticity characteristics, the
fill soils should also be relatively free of organic materials (less than about
two hundredths of a percent by weight) and other deleterious material. In
addition, the soils should not contain particle sizes larger than three inches.

Based on the results of our laboratory testing
program, a majority of the on site materials meet the previously mentioned
structural fill criteria. During grading operations, representative samples of
the proposed structural fill materials should be periodically checked via
laboratory testing to verify

 20
 

compliance with structural fill requirements. A
representative from the testing agency should be on site on a full-time basis
to monitor excavation and grading operation as well as the suitability of fill
materials. Any imported fill material should be tested prior to placement at
the site to verify it complies with the criteria stated in this section of the
report.

Suitable fill material should be placed in thin lifts
(lift thickness depends on type of compaction equipment, but in general, lifts
of 8 inches loose measurement is recommended). The soil should be compacted by
heavy compaction equipment such as a Caterpillar 815 sheepsfoot roller. Within small
excavations, such as in utility trenches (less than 24 inches in width), around
manholes or behind retaining walls, we recommend the use of “wacker packers”, “Rammax”
compactors or vibrating plate compactors to achieve the specified compaction.
Loose lift thickness of 4 inches are recommended in small area fills.
Structural fill and backfill must be compacted in accordance with the criteria
stated in Table 4.

The moisture content of suitable borrow soils should
generally be between the specified ranges in Table 4. More stringent moisture
limits may be necessary with certain soils. Based on the moisture content of
the soil samples at the time of drilling operations, adjustments to the
moisture content will be necessary to allow compaction in accordance with
project specifications. Dependent on the percentage of fines, the clean free-draining
aggregates utilized in the granular cushion beneath the floor slab could
alternatively be consolidated by means of a vibratory compactor to at least 60%
“relative density”, as determined in accordance with ASTM D 4253 (Standard Test
Methods for Maximum lndex Density and Unit Weight of Soils Using a Vibratory
Table) and D 4254 (Standard Test Methods for Minimum lndex Density and Unit
Weight of Soils and Calculations of Relative Density).

Seismic Site
Classification

Based on the subsurface conditions encountered in the
borings, we recommend using a Seismic Site Class Definition of “D” per IBC
2003. There is no significant risk of liquefaction or mass movement of the
on-site soils due to a seismic event.

Pavement Subgrade
Preparation

Based on construction activities that have occurred,
prior to this report, the upper two to three feet of expansive “hard-pan”
Peoria loess has been removed and replaced with imported lean clay for the
perimeter loop roadway. In addition the roadways within the plant will have the
subgrade properly reworked in the final 8 inches below the aggregate base.
Therefore, the final pavement subgrade implemented within the plant just prior
to the placement of the concrete pavement should consist of 8 inches of the
soil subgrade compacted to at least 98% of ASTM D-698, Standard Proctor, at a moisture
content of -1 to +3 percent of optimum. After the subgrade soil is prepared,
the area should be proofrolled with a loaded dump truck, scraper, or similar
rubber-tired equipment weighing at least 25 tons. Proofrolling operations
should be observed by a full-time inspector. Unstable and unsuitable soils,
which are revealed by proofrolling and which cannot be adequately densified
in-place, should be removed under the direction of the full-time inspector. It
may be necessary to perform selective removal of soft, wet soils and/or
stabilize existing soft soils in-place. If required, the methods of
stabilization will typically include a lift of crushed stone materials or a
geosynthetic over the soft soils. The identification of areas that may require
undercutting and/or stabilization should be based on the actual conditions at
the time of construction, and will depend on the location of the soft area.

 22
 

Once the subgrade soil has been visually observed to
be stable, we recommend the placement of an 8-inch crushed limestone base
course for the Heavy-Duty Pavement. The crushed limestone aggregate should meet
the following gradation, which has 80 to 100 percent passing the 1-inch sieve,
50 to 95 percent
passing the  3⁄4-inch sieve, 24 to 55
percent passing the 0.375-inch sieve, 11 to 37 percent passing the No. 4 sieve,
7 to 26 percent passing the No. 10 sieve, and 0 to 6 percent passing the No.
200 sieve. A recycled crushed concrete (NDOR Standard Specifications, Table
1033.11) is also deemed acceptable as an aggregate base. With a design life of
20 years and the seasonal changes in Nebraska, the pavement subgrade meeting
the compaction specification at the time of installation has the potential to
rapidly deteriorate without the use of an 8-inch crushed limestone base course
or recycled crushed concrete. In regards to any future parking lot areas, it is
recommended that a 4-inch crushed limestone base or recycled crushed concrete
be utilized.

Since the coefficient of drainage is a critical factor
in determining the pavement design thickness, it is also recommended that
lateral drainage lines be installed along the edge of the roadway pavement for
Heavy-Duty Pavement. The drainage lines should properly daylight into drainage
ways and/or collector systems. Seasonal weather conditions along with surface
runoff saturating the aggregate subbase can have a significant impact on the
design life of the pavement. At a minimum, the drainage lines should be located
on each side of the roadway edge and flow at least 4 inches below the aggregate
subbase. If a storm sewer collection system is anticipated, the edge drains
should gravity drain to the randomly located inlets and properly discharge any
subsurface water that is collected in the drainage lines. Assuming a drainage
system is implemented to eliminate any subsurface water, a good drainage
coefficient value of 1.15 was utilized in the pavement design software.

It is important that the subgrade support be relatively
uniform, with no abrupt changes in the degree of support. Non-uniform pavement
support can result from the transition at cut and fill areas, varying soil
moisture contents, varying soil types, and where utility backfill has been
placed in areas to be paved. Improper subgrade preparation such as inadequate
vegetation removal, proofrolling, and compaction can also result in non-uniform
subgrade support.

Pavement Design

Pavement design is influenced by the anticipated
traffic loads and volumes for the Aurora West Ethanol Plant, site subgrade
conditions, pavement materials, and the desired design life. The recommended
pavement thickness is based on our experiences with the alternate pavement
types and equivalent pavement sections based on recognized structural
coefficients.

 23
 

The recommended design requires that the site be
properly prepared in accordance with the Pavement
Subgrade Preparation section of this report and that site drainage
be provided to minimize
the future wetting of the pavement subgrade. A pavement design life of 20 years was used. AASHTO pavement design procedures were used to estimate
the required pavement thickness. The following parameters were adopted for the
thickness design:

The Standard-Duty and Heavy-Duty pavement
recommendations are based on a design life of 20 years, terminal serviceability = 2.25, reliability = 90%, initial serviceability = 4.2,
and standard deviation = 0.35 for rigid pavements. In regards to the load transfer value, the
Standard-Duty pavement assumed the saw joints were not doweled but for the
Heavy-Duty pavement analysis the analysis utilized doweled joints to achieve
the recommended pavement thickness.

Based on the above design parameters, we recommend the
following minimum pavement design thickness.

As stated previously, the Heavy-Duty Pavement in
addition to the stabilized subbase of 8-inch crushed limestone or recycled
crushed concrete should have dowel bars located at the transverse control joints to help eliminate the
potential of joint failure. The implementation of dowels at the transverse
joints will help transfer the loads and help decrease the necessary thickness of concrete.

 25
 

Surface drainage around the pavement and proper
maintenance are also important for long-term performance. Curbs should be
backfilled as soon as possible after construction of the pavement. Backfill should be compacted and should be
sloped to prevent water from ponding and infiltration under the pavement. All
pavement joints should be caulked and any cracks should be quickly patched or
sealed to prevent moisture from reaching and softening the subgrade.

Lateral Earth
Pressures

The following soil parameters are provided for use in
designing retaining walls, truck dock walls and/or foundation walls subject to
lateral earth pressures. The
parameters are based on the assumption that retained soils will be similar in
composition to the onsite soils that were encountered in this investigation.

Retaining walls which are
rigidly restrained at the top and are essentially unable to deflect or rotate
should be designed for “at rest” earth pressure conditions. Retaining walls
that are unrestrained at the top and are free to deflect or rotate slightly may
be designed for “active” earth pressure conditions. The “passive” earth
pressure condition should be used to evaluate the resistance of soil to lateral
loads. Table 6 presents recommended values of earth pressure coefficients based
on our experience with soils in the area. Equivalent fluid densities are
frequently used for the calculation of lateral earth pressures for the “at-rest”
and “active” conditions and are therefore provided in Table 6. These pressures
do not apply to highly expansive clays with Liquid Limits above 50 and Plastic
Indexes above 30 or expansive shales. Expansive shales can swell, producing
very high lateral earth pressures.

The lateral earth pressure design recommendations are
based on the following assumptions:

·                             For
active earth pressure, wall must rotate about base, with top lateral movements
0.002 Z to 0.004 Z, where Z is wall height

·                             Drained
conditions assume a permanent drainage system behind the retaining wall that
will allow no development of hydrostatic pressure

·                             Horizontal
backfill (i.e., no sloping backfill above the top of the wall)

·                             The
upper 42 inches do not contribute resistance against horizontal movement if the
soil is subject to frost action and seasonal volume change

·                             Onsite
backfill soils having a bulk unit weight of 120 pcf

·                             Backfill
soils placed within the height of the retaining wall consisting of selected
lean clay should be tested to verify the lean clays exhibit low plasticity

·                             Imported
granular backfill soils having an angle of internal friction of 32 degrees

·                             Uniform
surcharge, where S is surcharge pressure, in pounds per square foot (psf)

·                             Heavy
equipment and other concentrated load components not included

·                             No
safety factor is included

The cohesive conditions assume the backfill soils
placed within seven tenths the height of the retaining wall height consist of
selected lean clay or silt exhibiting an Atterberg liquid limit of less than
50. Should the cohesive parameters from Table 6 be utilized, a granular fill of
at least two feet behind the wall is still recommended for the drained
condition. For granular values to be valid, the granular backfill must extend
out from the base of the wall at an angle of 45 and 60 degrees from the active
and passive cases, respectively. Utilizing a locally available aggregate
meeting the gradation of 100 percent passing the 1-inch, 77 to 97 percent passing the No. 4
sieve, 50 to 70 percent passing the No. 10 sieve, 16 to 40 percent passing the
No. 30 sieve and 0 to 3 percent passing the No. 200 sieve is considered
acceptable.

To calculate the resistance to sliding, a frictional
resistance of 500 psf is recommended for footings bearing on approved cohesive
bearing soil. To calculate the resistance to sliding for footings bearing on a
suitable crushed limestone, an ultimate coefficient of friction value of 0.5 is
recommended. Should the footing bear on the soil subgrade, we recommend using
an alternative coefficient of friction of 0.3. Should an aggregate base be
utilized as foundation bearing soil, the aggregate should have a minimum
friction angle of 32 degrees and assume no cohesion value. A factor of safety
of at least 1.5 to 2 should
be applied.

Slopes and Temporary
Excavations

The owner and the contractor should make themselves
aware of and become familiar with applicable local, state, and federal safety
regulations, including current OSHA excavation and trench safety standards.
Construction site safety generally is the sole responsibility of the
contractor. The contractor shall also be solely responsible for the means,
methods, techniques, sequences, and operations of construction operations. OA is providing the
following information solely as a service to our client. Under no circumstances
should OA’s provision
of the following information be construed to mean that we are assuming
responsibility for construction site safety or the contractor’s activities,
such responsibility is not implied and should not be inferred.

The contractor should be aware that slope height,
slope inclination, and excavation depths (including utility trench excavations)
should in no case exceed those specified in local, state, or federal safety
regulation; e.g., OSHA Health and Safety
Standards for Excavations, 29 CFR  Part 19266,
or successor regulations. Such regulations are strictly enforced and, if not
followed, the owner, the contractor, or earthwork or utility subcontractors
could be liable for substantial penalties.

For this site, the overburden soil encountered in the
upper 20 feet of our exploratory borings consisted of lean clays. We anticipate
that OSHA will classify these materials as type B.  OSHA
recommends a maximum slope inclination of 1 H: 1V for type
B soils.

Note: Soils encountered in the construction excavations may
vary significantly across the site. Our soil classifications are based solely
on the materials encountered in the widely spaced boring locations. The
contractor should verify that similar conditions exist throughout the proposed
area of excavation. If different subsurface conditions are encountered at the
time of construction, OA  must be contacted immediately to evaluate the
conditions encountered. If any excavation, including a utility trench, is
extended to a depth of more than 20 feet, OSHA requires that the side slopes of
such excavation be designed by a professional engineer registered in the state
where construction is occurring.

As an alternative to temporary slopes, vertical
excavations can be temporarily shored. The contractor or the specialty
subcontractor is responsible for the design of the temporary shoring in
accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Construction Equipment
Mobility

Some of the soils encountered at this site, may be
highly susceptible to softening under the action of construction equipment
traffic. Mitigation of equipment mobility problems and management of soft
surficial soils will be greatly dependent on the severity of the problem, the
season in which construction is performed and prevailing weather conditions.

To reduce equipment mobility problems and in order to
deal with soft, wet, surficial soils the following recommendations are
provided:

·                             Optimize
surface water drainage at the site to maintain positive drainage away from work
areas

·                             Whenever
possible, wait for dry weather conditions to prevail, and do not operate
construction equipment on the site during wet conditions. Rutting the surface
will only aggravate the problem

·                             Use
construction equipment that is well suited for the intended job under the site
conditions. Heavy rubber-tired equipment typically requires better site
conditions than light, track-mounted equipment

·                             Implement
a construction schedule that realistically allows for rain days. Pressure to
perform earthwork under a tight schedule is frequently counterproductive

Ultimately, it may be necessary to take steps to
aggressively improve construction mobility if construction must proceed under
unfavorable conditions. Methods for coping with equipment mobility problems may
range from removing several feet of soft wet soils, to utilizing crushed stone
materials and/or stabilization fabric. Other methods include cement
modification of soils, lime stabilization, etc. The optimal approach should be
evaluated by the geotechnical engineer at the time of construction.

Corrosivity and Thermal
Resistivity of Soils

Note that these sections of the report were recently
requested by Bibbs & Associates. Testing is currently underway and will be
issued in the form of an addendum once the laboratory analysis is completed.

 29
 

Drainage and
Groundwater Considerations

After completion of the drilling operations, ground
water was not encountered in any of the soil test borings. Therefore, it is not
anticipated to be a concern during construction. We note that groundwater
levels will fluctuate depending on seasonal variations of precipitation and
other factors that were not evident at the time of drilling and may occur at
higher elevations in proximity to the retention ponds at some time in the
future.

Since moisture increases to the underlying soil can
result in significant settlement, the site should also be graded to avoid water
flows, concentrations, or standing water behind retaining walls, building
foundations and tanks. If swales are designed at the top of the retaining
walls, proper line and slope should be considered to avoid any water flow down
behind retaining walls. Special attention to sources of storm water from
building and tank roofs, gutter downspouts, and paved areas draining to one
point is needed.

Additionally, in order to minimize concerns related to
improper drainage away from building foundation that tends to soften when
exposed to water, the following general recommendations are provided:

·                             Site
grading should provide for efficient drainage of rainfall away from the tanks,
mat foundations, buildings and pavement areas.

·                             Roof
run-off should be collected and transferred directly to the storm sewer system,
if possible, or to a location well away from the building and pavements.
Conventional downspout drainage leading to splash blocks, though not as
desirable, may be used.

·                             External
hose connections should incorporate splash blocks to prevent localized
accidental flooding of foundation soils. External hose connections should have
cutoff valves inside the building to prevent accidental or unauthorized use of
external hose connections.

·                             Building
maintenance personnel should be informed of the potential problems associated
with watering in close proximity to the building. Excessive watering of shrubs or
lawns near buildings should be avoided. Placement of deep-rooted or
water-intensive shrubs near buildings also should be avoided.

DRILLING
PROCEDURES

Soil sampling and standard penetration testing
performed in accordance with ASTM D 1586. The standard penetration resistance (SPT) “N” value is the number of blows of a
140 pound hammer falling 30 inches to drive a 2 inch O.D., 1.4 inch I.D.
split-spoon sampler one foot. The thin-walled tube sampling procedure is
described by ASTM specification D 1587.

WATER
LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Water levels indicated on the boring logs are levels
measured in the borings at the times indicated. In relatively high permeable
materials, the indicated levels may reflect the location of groundwater. In low
permeability soils, the accurate determination of groundwater levels is not
possible with only short-term observations.

SOIL PROPERTIES &
DESCRIPTIONS

Soil descriptions are based on the Unified Soil
Classification System (USCS) as outlined in ASTM Designations D-2487 and
D-2488. The USCS group symbol shown on the boring logs correspond to the group

The results of the tests indicate the point total
varies from 2 to 12 across the site. Based on the AWWA guidelines, any point total greater than 10 requires corrosion
protection. Therefore, it is recommended
that any ductile iron pipe in the vicinity of soil test boring B-2 be double polyethylene encased. In addition, please note
that the higher resistivity condition encountered in soil test boring
B-2 was at a depth of 8.5 to 10 feet. Based on the overall results and proposed
grading operations, it is also recommended
that any utility lines located at depths greater than 5 feet below the existing
borehole elevation be double encased.

A series of chemical tests
according to AASHTO T-290 and AASHTO T-291 regarding sulfate and chloride
content were also performed on representative samples of the subsurface soils.
These tests were used to evaluate the soils for specific chemical factors that
could be aggressive to concrete. The factors, in addition to the above pH and
Redox values, include sulfate and chloride content. The results are defined as
parts per million (ppm) and are provided in Table 4.

Based on our experience
and soil survey information, sulfate and chloride resistant cement will not be required for any 

exposed concrete. Regarding the cement
type based on the chemical test readings
of sulfates and chlorides less than 200 ppm and 100 ppm, respectively, a Type I
or Type II cement is considered
acceptable. Maximum water/cement ratio by weight shall not exceed 0.5. Actual test results are included in the Appendix
C, Laboratory Test Data.

Thermal Resistivity of
Soils

A series of Thermal Resistivity testing was completed
in accordance with ASTM D-5334 and IEEE 442.
The results from the testing are presented in Table 5 below and are attached to
this addendum.

* - Represents erroneous data due to sample contamination

Samples that were submitted for testing were tested
under two conditions. The first condition required that the sample be remolded
to resemble the in-situ soil conditions in each respective soil test boring. Upon obtaining the desired dry
density and moisture content, the Thermal Resistivity was measured. The
sample was then dried in an oven and tested again to determine the Thermal Resistivity of the material with no
moisture.

It is important to note that the results from soil
test boring B-20 are invalid and should be excluded from the data set. Laboratory notes indicate that the sample was
primarily sand which is not representative of the upper 10 feet of the
on-site material.

EXHIBIT E

MECHANICAL COMPLETION, COMMISSIONING, STARTUP

Definitions:

Mechanical Completion: 
The completion of construction activities essential to the safe and
proper operation of the Plant in accordance with the requirements of the
Contract, as more fully listed below to the extent necessary to permit:

(i)                                     safe and sound start-up and operation of
the Plant as a fully integrated system; and

(ii)                                  successful completion and conduct of the
commissioning tests.

but excluding correction of minor
non-operational matters such as painting, landscaping and nonessential
insulation.  Nonessential insulation
shall not include any insulation needed for personnel safety, any insulation
that materially and negatively impacts the process or any outdoor process
piping insulation required for freeze protection.

Irrespective of the following, Mechanical
Completion shall be deemed to have occurred in the event feedstock has been
introduced into the process and ethanol has been produced.

Commissioning:  The
checking, testing and preparation of the Plant for operation, functional
control loop checking, interlock testing, system purging and utility system
startups, as more fully listed below.  In
general, the tasks required for taking the Plant from Mechanical Completion and
making it ready for start-up.

Ready for Startup:  When
the activities listed for Mechanical Completion and Commissioning have occurred
and the Plant is ready to mill corn at the hammer mills.  At that time, KIEWIT will notify OWNER that
the Plant is Ready for Startup.  All
paved roads must be completed before the Plant is ready for Startup.

Startup:  Startup
begins with the initial feed of raw material to the Plant, filling of Equipment
with operating material, startup and operation of individual process stages, adjustment
and optimization of operating conditions, optimization of control loops,
verification of startup, shutdown and partial load operations.  Utility system startups (unless integrated
with the processing portions of the Plant) are a part of the Commissioning
Phase.

Substantial Completion:  As defined below.

These events may not occur at the same point in
time for all parts of the Plant.  Utility
systems needed for operation of the rest of the Plant may reach Mechanical
Completion, Commissioning and Startup before the main process parts of the
Plant.  Some processing areas of the
Plant or sub-systems of operating areas may reach Mechanical Completion and be
Commissioned and Started up before other parts of the Plant, for example, grain
receiving and storage may be completed and into operation, i.e., filled with
grain, prior to other parts of the Plant. 
Mechanical Completion, Commissioning and

 1
 

Startup shall not be deemed to occur, however,
until all portions of the Plant meet the requirements for each such stage.

The following lists indicate the
activities or events, which take place in each of the phases described.

a                                          
company (“Contractor”) entered into a                                           
agreement dated                             ,
20        , (the “Agreement”).

(c)                                  any
requirement to exhaust any remedies;

(d)                                 any
other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety or which might
otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor.

4.                                       This
Parent Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, to Contractor is
rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or must
otherwise be returned, refunded, repaid or restored by Contractor upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolu­tion, liquidation or reorganization of Owner or
Guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor
or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Owner or any substantial
part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been
made.

5.                                       Guarantor
agrees that any and all present and future debts or obligations of any nature

subordinated to the claims of Contractor with respect to the Agreement.  Guarantor agrees to be bound by any findings
of fact or final award or judgment (rendered under arbitration or otherwise)
made against Owner under the Agreement, or any settlement reached by Contractor
and Owner.

6.                                       The
obligations of Guarantor set forth herein constitute the full recourse
obligations of Guarantor enforceable against it to the full extent of all its
assets and properties.

7.                                       This
Parent Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns.

8.                                       This
Parent Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in
accordance with the law of the State of New York.  Venue for any action to enforce this Parent
Guaranty shall be in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York.  Both parties to this Parent Guaranty waive
all rights to a trial by jury in any action arising out of or relating to the
Parent Guaranty.

9.                                       This
Parent Guaranty and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding
upon Guarantor and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of Contractor
and its successors and assigns. 
Guarantor shall not be permitted to assign or transfer any of its rights
or obligations under this Parent Guaranty, except pursuant to a merger or
consolidation in which (i) Guarantor is the survivor, or (ii) the surviving
entity, if not Guarantor, is organized under the laws of the United States or a
state thereof and explicitly assumes all obligations of Guarantor under this
Parent Guaranty.

10.                                 Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Parent Guaranty, Guarantor’s undertakings and
obligations hereunder with respect to the Agreement are derivative of and not
in excess of the Owner’s obligations under the Agreement and the Guarantor
retains all rights, claims, defenses, and limitations of liability possessed by
Owner under the terms of the Agreement or arising from the parties’ performance
or failure to perform thereunder and shall be entitled to assert any

Agreement, except that no defense previously raised by Owner which has been
fully adjudicated, determined or settled in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement may be raised by Guarantor, and no cure period previously used by

PARENT GUARANTY

                                   ,
a                              
corporation (“Contractor”), and                                              ,
a                                              
company (“Client”) entered into a                                                             
agreement dated                               ,
20      , (the “Agreement”).

WHEREAS, Contractor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of                               , a                      corporation (the “Guarantor”); and

WHEREAS, Guarantor will derive direct and indirect benefit
from Contractor entering into the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, as a condition to Client’s entering into the
Agreement Client requires that Guarantor execute this Parent Guaranty.

NOW THEREFORE, Guarantor agrees as follows:

1.                                       Guarantor irrevocably guarantees the full
and timely performance by Contractor of all its obligations, terms, provisions,
conditions, and stipulations under the Agreement, as now or hereafter amended
(the “Obligations”), and hereby undertakes that if Contractor shall in any
respect fail to pay, perform and observe all of the Obligations of the Agreement,
Guarantor shall (i) pay or perform or have paid or performed all Obligations as
required by the Agreement, without any requirement that Client first proceed
against Contractor, and (ii) reimburse Client for any expenses incurred in
enforcing its rights under this Parent Guaranty against Guarantor, in each case
upon five (5) business days following Guarantor’s receipt of written notice of
Contractor’s failure to pay or perform an Obligation, or an itemization of such
expenses incurred.  This Parent Guaranty
constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection.

2.                                       The obligations of Guarantor under this Parent
Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional obligations of Guarantor,
independent of the obligations of Contractor, shall not be subject to any
counterclaim, set-off, deduction, diminution, abatement, recoupment,
suspension, deferment, reduction or defense based upon any claim Guarantor may
have against Contractor.  To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law this Parent Guaranty shall remain in full
force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in
any way affected by:

(a)                                  any termination, amendment or modification of or
deletion from or addition to or other change in the Agreement or any other
instrument or agreement applicable to any of the parties to the Agreement;

(b)                                 any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, assignment for the
benefit of creditors, composition, receivership, conservatorship,
custodianship, liquidation, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings with respect to Contractor, Guarantor, Client or any other person
or any of their respective 

 1
 

properties or creditors, or any action taken by any trustee or receiver
or by any court in any such proceeding;

(c)                                  any
merger or consolidation of Contractor or Guarantor into or with any other
corporation, or any sale, lease or transfer of any of the assets of Contractor
or Guarantor to any other person;

(d)                                 any
change in the ownership of any interests of Contractor or any change in the
relationship between Contractor and Guarantor, or any termination of such
relationship;

(e)                                  any
failure of Contractor to conform with any provision of the Agreement or any
other agreement; or

(f)                                    any
failure or delay on the part of Client to enforce any right under the
Agreement.

3.                                       The
Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law,

(a)                                  notice
of any of the matters referred to in Section 2;

(b)                                 notice to Guarantor of any breach or default with
respect to the Agreement or any other notice that may be required, by statute,
rule of law or otherwise, to preserve any rights of Client against the
Guarantor;

(c)                                  any
requirement to exhaust any remedies;

(d)                                 any
other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety or which might
otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor.

4.                                       This
Parent Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, to Client is rescinded,
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or must otherwise be
returned, refunded, repaid or restored by Client upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolu­tion, liquidation or reorganization of Contractor or Guarantor or upon
or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of,
or trustee or similar officer for, Contractor or any substantial part of its
property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

5.                                       Guarantor
agrees that any and all present and future debts or obligations of any nature
whether arising in connection herewith or otherwise of Contractor to Guarantor
are subordinated to the claims of Client with respect to the Agreement.  Guarantor agrees to be bound by any findings
of fact or final award or judgment (rendered under arbitration or otherwise)
made against Contractor under the Agreement, or any settlement reached by
Client and Contractor.

6.                                       The
obligations of Guarantor set forth herein constitute the full recourse
obligations of Guarantor enforceable against it to the full extent of all its
assets and properties.

7.             This Parent Guaranty shall be
binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns.

8.                                       This
Parent Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in
accordance with the law of the State of New York.  Venue for any action to enforce this Parent
Guaranty shall be in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York.  Both parties to this Parent Guaranty waive
all rights to a trial by jury in any action arising out of or relating to the
Parent Guaranty.

9.                                       This
Parent Guaranty and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding
upon Guarantor and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of Client and
its successors and assigns.  Guarantor
shall not be permitted to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations
under this Parent Guaranty, except pursuant to a merger or consolidation in
which (i) Guarantor is the survivor, or (ii) the surviving entity, if not
Guarantor, is organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof
and explicitly assumes all obligations of Guarantor under this Parent Guaranty.

10.                                 Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Parent Guaranty, Guarantor’s undertakings and
obligations hereunder with respect to the Agreement are derivative of and not
in excess of the Contractor’s obligations under the Agreement and the Guarantor
retains all rights, claims, defenses, and limitations of liability possessed by
Contractor under the terms of the Agreement or arising from the parties’
performance or failure to perform thereunder and shall be entitled to assert
any contractual defenses that would have been available to the Contractor under
the Agreement, except that no defense previously raised by Contractor which has
been fully adjudicated, determined or settled in accordance with the terms of
the Agreement may be raised by Guarantor, and no cure period previously used by
Contractor may be used or relied upon by Guarantor.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has caused this Parent Guaranty to be
signed in the name and on behalf of Guarantor by its authorized representative
as of this              day of                               , 20      .

PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT

CONTRACTORS

A.                       Policy

Aventine Renewable Energy, Inc. is committed to the
prevention of accidents and improving quality
and productivity related to Contractor work by providing a safe workplace that
protects Aventine and Contractor
employees, the environment and the general public.

Aventine shall promote an attitude of partnership,
cooperation, and communication with Contractors
to enhance workplace safety. Personal safety is a fundamental responsibility of
both Aventine and Contractor employees.

Aventine shall maintain the independent contractor
status of its Contractors and their Subcontractors. Aventine shall not dictate
the manner and means by which the Contractor performs its work, except where
specified in the written contract; and, whenever unsafe acts/unsafe conditions pose an immediate threat to
the safety or health of personnel; and/or potential damage to Aventine
property.

B.                       Purpose

To establish a policy and procedure for providing
Aventine employees with guidance in developing
site-specific rules and practices to improve the safety and health performance
of contractors who perform work at Aventine.

To ensure that all Contractor personnel are
informed of the known potential fire, explosion, toxic release hazards, and other serious safety hazards
related to their work or the process.

To ensure that all Contractor personnel are aware
of all applicable Aventine safety rules and procedures pertaining to their work site, including the facility’s
emergency procedures.

This procedure applies to Aventine employees
responsible for Contractor selection, training, inspections and assessments, and for Contractor work involving new
construction projects, major renovation, and repair/maintenance activities.

* Note: Repair/maintenance activities and incidental contractor work
that do not compromise the safety of personnel, facilities, and processes are
excluded. (E.g., janitorial and delivery services, etc.)

 1
 

C.        Approach

Contract employees must perform their work safely.
Considering that Contractors often perform very specialized and potentially hazardous tasks, such as confined space
entry activities and non-routine repair activities; their work must be controlled
while they are on or near a process covered
by PSM. A permit system or work authorization system for these types of
activities are required for all
affected employees. The use of a work authorization system keeps an employer
informed of contract employee activities. A well-run and well-maintained
process, where employee safety is fully recognized benefits all of those who
work in the facility whether they are
employees of the employer or the contractor.

D.                       Responsibilities

When selecting a contractor, the employer must
obtain and evaluate information regarding the contract employer’s safety
performance and programs. The employer also must inform contract employers of
the known potential fire, explosion, or toxic release hazards related to the
contractor’s work and the process. The employers must explain to contract
employers the applicable provisions of the emergency action plan; develop and
implement safe work practices to control the presence, entrance, and exit of
contract employers and contract employees in covered process areas; evaluate
periodically the performance of contract employers in fulfilling their
obligations; and maintain a contract employee injury and illness log related to
the contractor’s work in the process
areas.

E.                         Program
Elements

·                            The Contractor and any personnel under his
jurisdiction shall continuously observe and enforce all applicable
governmental safety regulations and all safety rules and signs that may have
been or may be established by Aventine. Proper safety procedures and equipment
must be utilized and maintained at al times
for protection of all personnel and facilities.

·                            Before beginning work, the Contractor or his
qualified supervisors shall inspect the premises, location of work area, and examine all safety rules and instructions to determine the
nature and extent of difficulties and
hazards.

·                            Contractor shall promptly report in writing, all
accidents in connection with the work. Full details and statements of witnesses

property damage, or death.

·                            Aventine reserves the right to suspend any

permits identified as permits to be procured by it in Exhibit M.  All other permits required by applicable law
or regulation shall be secured by the Party which is already tasked to obtain
permits most similar in nature to the permit in question.  Each Party shall cooperate with and provide
reasonable assistance to each other in obtaining all permits required to be
obtained by such Party, such assistance shall include preparing drawings,
technical documentation and any other documentation required for said permits.

2.3                               Drawings:  Kiewit shall, upon completion of the Work and
prior to Final Acceptance, deliver to Owner a complete set of “as built”
drawings in both electronic form and as hard copies.

2.4                               License of Certain Documents and Drawings:  Kiewit and its Subcontractors, as applicable,
shall retain ownership of the copyright in, and any and all inventions and
trade secrets embodied in, the documents and drawings delivered to Owner under
this Contract other than those included in the Delta-T Technology, which
ownership shall remain with Delta-T. 
Kiewit hereby grants Owner a non-exclusive, paid-up, non-transferable right
(except in the event of a

 8
 

sale
of the Plant in which case, such rights shall be transferred to the transferee
and any subsequent transferee of the Plant) to perpetually use any and all such
inventions and trade secrets (other than those included in the Delta-T
Technology, the license for which is governed by the License Agreement) for use
with respect to the Plant, including, without limitation, maintenance and
optimization or enhancement of the Plant.

2.5                               Environmental

Kiewit:

(i)                                     shall ensure that in carrying out the
Work:

(a)                                  it complies with all Applicable Laws, all
specifications in any operating permits and other requirements of the Contract
for the protection of the environment; and

(b)                                 it does not cause actionable nuisance or
damage to persons, property or the environment;

(ii)                                  shall make good any pollution,
contamination or damage to the environment arising out of Kiewit’s failure to
comply with all Applicable Laws or other requirements of the Contract for the
protection of the environment.

2.6                               Quality Assurance Procedure

The Work shall be performed in accordance with
Kiewit’s quality assurance procedures; provided, that such
procedures shall be at least as stringent as those of Good Industry Standards.

Within thirty (30) days following the effective
date of the Notice to Proceed, Kiewit shall make its quality assurance/quality
control manuals available for inspection for the purpose of verifying that
Kiewit’s quality assurance/quality control procedures are being followed in
respect of the Work.

 9
 

To the extent any Work is defective due to the
failure to follow such procedures, Kiewit shall correct all portions of the
Work in respect of which such procedures have not been followed.  In case of a conflict between the Scope of
Work described on Exhibit A and such procedures, said Scope of Work shall
control.

2.7                               Uncovering:

Kiewit shall (i) provide notice to Owner three
(3) Business Days before it will cover Work to be inspected by Owner as listed
specifically as a hold point in Exhibit O and (ii) work in good faith to
provide adequate notice for third party inspections for the remaining hold
points listed in Exhibit O.  If any portion
of the Work should be covered contrary to the foregoing sentence, Owner may
require that the portion of the Work be uncovered for inspection and
subsequently be recovered, all at Kiewit’s expense.

In addition, at any time Owner may request that
Owner be afforded the opportunity to inspect a portion of the Work which has
been properly covered and Kiewit shall uncover the same.  If the Work is found to be in accordance with
the terms of this Contract, the cost of such uncovering shall be paid by Owner
and the Schedule shall be extended, by appropriate Change Order.  If the portion of the Work is found not to be
in accordance with this Contract, Kiewit shall bear the costs of such covering
and uncovering.

3.             Information,
Goods and Services to Be Provided by Owner

3.1                               Specific Goods and Services:  Owner shall provide the following:  (a) prior to commencement of any Work by

not aware of any physical, financial or legal matters that would prevent Owner
from fulfilling its obligations hereunder or impede performance of the Owner’s
obligations under this Contract in accordance with the Schedule. If Kiewit
becomes aware of any error in a document, drawing, specification or other
information supplied by Owner it will promptly notify Owner of the same.  Kiewit shall, however, have no liability of
any

 11
 

kind
with respect to any such error of which it is not actually aware.  In addition, Owner shall be fully responsible
for providing all goods and services, if any, that become necessary as a result
of the discovery of materials with archeological significance or Hazardous
Substances at the Plant Site except: (i) Hazardous Substances that were brought
onto the site by Kiewit (or any of its Subcontractors); (unless subsequently
negligently released by Owner or its other contractors or agents), or (ii)  which arise out of the  negligent exacerbation of a known
environmental condition by Kiewit or its Subcontractors.

3.3                               License Agreement:  Concurrently with the execution of this
Contract, Owner and Delta-T shall enter into the License Agreement.  In the event this Contract is terminated for
any reason, the License Agreement will remain in effect in accordance with the
terms and provisions of the License Agreement.

4.             Site
Conditions:  If conditions are encountered at the Plant
Site which materially differ from conditions shown in or indicated as likely by
any drawing, document or other information (including, but not limited to the
Geotechnical Report in Exhibit D), if any, that Owner is required to deliver to
Kiewit under Article 3 above, or which is contained in this Contract, then
notice by the observing Party shall be given to the other Party promptly. If
any such condition causes any material increase or decrease in Kiewit’s cost
of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, or any material
increase or decrease in any other obligation of Kiewit, Owner shall within ten
(10) Business Days of receipt of a change order request from Kiewit, issue a
change order in accordance with Article 6 below.

5.             Schedule

5.1                               Schedule:  Kiewit guarantees that Substantial Completion
of the Work will be achieved no later than, the later of (i) *** or (ii) ***, (“Guaranteed
Substantial Completion Date”). Owner will not provide Kiewit the Notice to
Proceed until the Air Permit is issued and any permits or approval necessary to
provide reasonably unrestricted access to the Plant Site in order for Kiewit to
be able to perform the Work are issued and/or obtained.   In the event of a delay in Substantial
Completion not permitted by the terms of this Contract, except as otherwise set
forth in this Section 5.1, Kiewit’s sole and exclusive liability and Owner’s
sole and exclusive remedy for such delay shall be:  (i) Days 1 — 30, $ ***, (ii) Days 31 — 60,

 12
 

***,
and (iii) Days 61 plus, $ *** (the “Base LDs”); provided, however, in the event
any such delay in Substantial Completion is due to a defect in Delta-T’s scope
of work under Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T, then, except as otherwise set
forth in this Section 5.1, Kiewit’s sole and exclusive liability and Owner’s
sole and exclusive remedy for such delay shall be $ *** per Day (the “Reduced
LDs”) commencing on the 31st Day after the Guaranteed Substantial
Completion (the “Reduced LD Date”) (unless (x) during the thirty (30) day
period between the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date and the Reduced LD
Date a problem arises due to Owner (other than Owner’s exercise of its rights
under this Contract) which prevents reaching Substantial Completion by the
Reduced LD Date in which event the Reduced LD Date will be extended by the
number of days such problem causes Substantial Completion not to be achieved or
(y) on the Reduced LD Date Substantial Completion has not been achieved due to
a defect in Delta-T’s scope of work under Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T
involving a delay in equipment delivery beyond Delta-T’s control (including a
delay in delivery of replacement equipment beyond Delta-T’s control which
replacement equipment was due to equipment failure) in which event the Reduced
LD Date will be extended until such equipment is delivered to the Plant Site);
provided further; however, in the event any such delay in Substantial
Completion is due both to a defect in Delta-T’s scope of work under Kiewit’s
subcontract with Delta-T and also to other reasons for which the Base LDs would
apply (the “Base LD Causes”), then until such time as the Base LD Causes are
remedied such that the only remaining reason, if any, Substantial Completion is
not achieved is due to a defect in Delta-T’s scope of work under Kiewit’s
subcontract with Delta-T, then the Base LDs shall be paid by Kiewit to Owner
and not the Reduced LDs, and once such Base LD Causes are so remedied, if the
defects in Delta-T’s scope of work under Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T have
not been remedied so that Substantial Completion has not yet been reached, then
the Reduced LDs shall be paid by Kiewit to Owner until Substantial Completion
is reached.  In addition to the
foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, but
subject to Section 16.1, in the event Substantial Completion is not reached by
the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, Kiewit and Owner agree to work
together and with Delta-T in a

 13
 

commercially
reasonable and expeditious manner in order to reach Substantial Completion at
the earliest possible time.  Kiewit shall
use all reasonable efforts to comply with Owner’s wishes with respect to
changes in Schedule, but any i) material adjustment requested by Owner to the
Schedule; or ii) Owner’s inappropriate disapproval of deliverables as more
fully set forth in Section 11.3.2, shall be deemed a change and Kiewit shall
have no obligation to slow down or accelerate its performance of the Work
except in accordance with Article 6 below.

5.2                               Threshold.  Upon obtaining Substantial Completion, Kiewit
shall have *** days thereafter to increase the output of merchantable ethanol
product of the Plant from *** of the Nameplate to *** of the Nameplate (***
per year of undenatured ethanol) (the “Threshold”).  However, so long as Kiewit is working
diligently and in good faith to reach the Threshold, Owner shall agree to
reasonable extensions of said *** day period.

5.3                               Early Completion Bonus.  If Substantial Completion of the Plant is
attained prior to *** months after the date of the issuance of the Notice to
Proceed, Owner shall pay Kiewit at the time of Final Payment an early
completion bonus equal to *** of the equivalent of delay liquidated damages
rate, had the Work been that same number of Days late for each Day that
Substantial Completion occurred prior to said date.  In no event shall the early completion bonus
exceed ***.

6.             Changes

6.1                               Issuance of Change Orders by Owner:  Owner may by its written order require
changes in the Work within the general scope of the Contract consisting of
additions, deletions or other revisions, provided that the Contract Sum and
payment schedule are adjusted to reflect the change in Kiewit’s direct and
indirect costs resulting from such changes, plus a reasonable amount for
profit, and that the time allowed for completion, warranty obligations, and any
other obligations of Kiewit affected by the changes are adjusted to cover the
consequences to Kiewit resulting from such change.  Kiewit shall have the right to request a
claim for such adjustments to the extent the cumulative impact of such changes
can reasonably be demonstrated.  The
amount to be paid to

 14
 

Kiewit,
the effect on the Schedule, if any, and any other adjustments to the Contract
will be made by mutual agreement.

6.1.1       Change
Order Effect upon Performance.  If the change submitted by Owner, in Kiewit’s
good faith reasonable judgment, would have a detrimental impact on performance
of the Plant, Kiewit will have no obligation to proceed with any change.

6.1.2       Change
Order Dispute.  If
there is a dispute as to whether a change order is required, then Kiewit shall
proceed with the change, without markup, on a reimbursable basis until the
dispute is resolved in accordance with Article 18.  If it is determined that a change order was
required then Owner shall pay Kiewit on a cost plus basis in accordance with
Section 6.1.4 below.  If it is determined
that no change order is required then Kiewit shall reimburse Owner for the
amount that Owner has paid to Kiewit for said Work, together with interest at
the rate set forth in Section 8.4 below.

If the amount of the
change order is in dispute, then Kiewit will proceed with the change on a cost
plus basis in accordance with Section 6.1.4 below.

6.1.3       Hazardous
Substances.  Kiewit shall in no case be required to agree
to any change requiring Kiewit’s handling of PCBs, asbestos or any other
Hazardous Substances except to the extent such Hazardous Substance is brought
onto the site by Kiewit and/or Subcontractors (and not subsequently negligently
released by Owner or its other contractors or agents) or results from negligent
exacerbation of a known environmental condition by Kiewit or its
Subcontractors.

6.1.4       Changes
Priced On Cost Plus Basis.  For changes priced on a cost plus basis,
Kiewit shall be entitled to a *** total markup for off-site overhead,
contingency and profit.

6.1.5       Change
Order for Expansion.  Owner’s issuance of a change order for the
expansion of Nameplate from 108,000,000 to 216,000,000 gallons per year of
un-denatured ethanol shall be allowed as within the general scope of the

 15
 

Contract
and Kiewit shall be entitled to a change in the Contract Sum, Schedule, and
Services, as mutually agreed so long as Owner first executes an amended
technology license agreement with Delta-T.

6.2                               Notice of Instruction Constituting a Change;
Notice of Impact of Change Order:  If Kiewit receives instructions from Owner,
which in Kiewit’s opinion constitute a change in the Work, Kiewit shall so
advise Owner within eight (8) Business Days of receipt of such
instruction.  If Kiewit receives a change
order under Section 6.1 above or becomes aware of a constructive change order
described at Section 6.3 below, or gives Owner a notice that an instruction of
Owner constitutes a change, then Kiewit shall within eight (8) Business Days
thereafter submit to Owner a statement of the impact of such change on the
Contract Sum, payment schedule or Schedule; provided however, the warranties
and any other provisions of the Contract will not be affected thereby.  Kiewit shall not delay prosecution of the
Work.

6.3                               Constructive Change Orders:  Any of the following shall entitle Kiewit to
request an increase in the Contract Sum and/or an extension of the Schedule:
(a) a material modification of applicable law, ordinance or regulation after
the Date of Commencement, (b) a Force Majeure Event (provided however that in
no event shall Kiewit be entitled to an increase in the Contract Sum to the
extent due to a Force Majeure Event), (c) unknown or differing site conditions
at the Plant Site described at Article 4 above, (d) discovery of Hazardous
Substances or archaeological materials at the Plant Site which were not
previously disclosed to or known by Kiewit, (e) suspension by Owner, (f)
material delay by Owner, or its subcontractors in the performance of Owner’s
obligations under the Contract, that results in a material delay in the
performance of the Work by Contractor or its Subcontractors, (g) interference
(but not the exercise of Owner’s rights under the Contract) by Owner or its
subcontractors in any material respect in the performance by Contractor, or its
Subcontractors, of the Work that results in a material delay in the performance
of the Work by Contractor or its subcontractors, and (h) suspension or
injunction by court order (unless such suspension or injunction is the result
of actions taken by Kiewit or its Subcontractors under this Contract).  Kiewit shall provide written notice to Owner

 16
 

promptly
upon becoming aware of any of the events above, or, in the case of a Force
Majeure Event, promptly upon becoming aware that there may be a schedule
impact  from such event.

7.             Commissioning,
Testing, and Performance

7.1                               Mechanical Completion, Commissioning and Startup:  Commencing six (6) months prior to the
anticipated Mechanical Completion Date, Kiewit shall provide to Owner written
notice of said estimated date and provide, not less than monthly, periodic
written updates of this estimated completion date.  Kiewit shall give Owner prompt reasonable
written notice when Kiewit believes that the Work has reached Mechanical
Completion.  Kiewit shall commence Commissioning
upon achievement of Mechanical Completion. 
Mechanical Completion shall be achieved when the requirements therefor
listed in Exhibit E have been satisfied. 
Kiewit shall Startup the Plant as soon as reasonably practicable after
Mechanical Completion has been achieved.

7.2                               Substantial Completion and Threshold Tests:  At such time(s) as Kiewit believes the Plant
is operating at sufficient capacity to meet the output levels required for
Substantial Completion and subsequently, the Threshold, testing shall be
conducted to confirm that the required levels of merchantable ethanol product
are being produced at the Plant.  The
testing to determine whether the output levels required for Substantial
Completion and subsequently the Threshold have been obtained shall continue for
a period of twenty (24) hours and shall be at a stable production rate for such
period and shall otherwise meet the requirements set forth on Exhibit C.  A separate test shall be conducted to determine
whether the output levels required for Substantial Completion and for the
Threshold have been met, unless the parties mutually agree in writing
otherwise, or unless the output levels required for both Substantial Completion
and the Threshold have been met by a single test.

7.3                               Performance Test and Performance Guarantees:  Kiewit shall begin the Performance Test as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Threshold has been achieved.  Kiewit shall cause the Plant to meet or
exceed the Performance Guarantees set forth in this Section 7.3 while
demonstrating at the time of the

 17
 

final
Performance Test that the Plant meets all requirements of the Air Permit issued
for the Plant.  All quantities set forth
below are based on average quantities over the period of the applicable
Performance Test.

7.3.1       Anhydrous

 18

7.4                               Condition to Performance Guarantees.  If any breach of warranty under this Contract
or failure to meet the Performance Guarantees under this Contract is the result
of:

7.4.1       The
feedstock provided by Owner, not being in compliance with the conditions described
in Section 7.3.1 or 7.3.2, as applicable;

7.4.2       Abuse,
or poor maintenance, of the Equipment;

7.4.3       Owner’s
failure to fulfill any of its obligations, which individually or in the
aggregate are material, under the Performance Test protocols set forth in
Exhibit C;

7.4.4       Owner’s
failure, in any material way, to operate the Plant in accordance with the
operating manuals and instructions provided by Kiewit;

7.4.5       Owner
designing or procuring equipment and systems, other than under this Contract,
that fail to meet Delta-T’s basic process design specifications for energy
efficiency;

7.4.6       Owner
fails to provide electrical service with at least a 0.85 power factor;

then Kiewit shall
notify Owner, Owner shall take the necessary corrective actions and the affected
Performance Tests shall be re-run at Owner’s expense.  However, if Owner refuses or fails  to provide the requested items, then Kiewit
shall have no obligation or liability for any such breach of the applicable
warranty or Performance Guarantees under this Contract.

7.5                               Substantial Completion:  Substantial Completion shall be achieved when
the requirements for Substantial Completion in Exhibit E have been
satisfied.  Kiewit shall provide Owner a
certificate of Substantial Completion certifying that all requirements for
Substantial Completion have been met at the time when all requirements for
Substantial Completion have been achieved. 
Owner shall have three (3) Business Days after receipt of such
certificate to advise Kiewit as to whether it agrees Substantial Completion has
been achieved.  Owner shall specify in
detail any requirements for Substantial Completion which it believes 

 19
 

Kiewit
has failed to achieve within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such
certificate.  Substantial Completion shall
be deemed to have occurred on the date when the last of the requirements for
Substantial Completion has been achieved. 
Kiewit agrees that Kiewit, at Kiewit’s sole cost and expense, shall take
whatever action is reasonably necessary and consistent with sound engineering
practices to cause the Plant to reach Substantial Completion; provided, Kiewit
shall not, except as set forth in Section 16.1 below, be responsible for costs
associated with any defects in Delta-T scope of work under Kiewit’s subcontract
with Delta-T which result in failure to achieve Substantial Completion; Kiewit
shall, however, be responsible for any costs which are reimbursed to Kiewit by
any manufacturer or supplier associated with such defects.

7.6          Cure:  After Substantial Completion (at which point
care, custody and control transfers to Owner in accordance with Article 13),
Owner shall allow Kiewit reasonable access to the Plant.  After reaching Substantial Completion, Kiewit
agrees that Kiewit, at Kiewit’s sole cost and expense, shall take whatever
action is reasonably necessary and consistent with sound engineering practices
to cause the Plant to reach the Threshold; provided, Kiewit shall not, except
as set forth in Section 16.1 below, be responsible for costs associated with any
defects in Delta-T scope of work under Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T which
result in failure to achieve the Threshold; Kiewit shall, however, be
responsible for any costs which are reimbursed to Kiewit by any manufacturer or
supplier associated with such defects.

After reaching the Threshold, Kiewit
shall, for a period of up to six (6) months thereafter and subject to Section
16.1, (i) use good faith efforts to 
cause the Plant to satisfy the Performance Guarantees in Section 7.3 and
to re-run the Performance Tests as needed during that period; provided, Kiewit
shall not, except as set forth in Section 16.1 below, be responsible for costs
associated with any defects in Delta-T scope of work under Kiewit’s subcontract
with Delta-T which result in failure to achieve the Performance Guarantees;
Kiewit shall, however, be responsible for any costs which are reimbursed to
Kiewit by any manufacturer or supplier associated with such defects, and (ii)
complete all Punch List items to the reasonable satisfaction of Owner.  Kiewit shall have the foregoing period of
time in which to satisfy the obligations in the preceding sentence before being
subject to paying any liquidated damages.

 20
 

Kiewit is obligated to continue all aspects of
the Work necessary to achieve completion of Performance Tests, Substantial
Completion, the Threshold, and Final Acceptance (and in connection therewith,
Kiewit is obligated to expend all necessary funds, devote all necessary time,
and provide or procure all necessary work, materials, labor and services),
except as such obligation is limited by Section 16.1 below.  All cost and expense associated with meeting
such obligation, including any necessary acceleration of the rate of work will,
unless and except to the extent required in accordance with Article 6, be for
Kiewit’s account.

7.7                               Liquidated Damages and Maximum Damages for
Performance Guarantees:  If the Plant has achieved Substantial
Completion and Threshold, but has not achieved one or more of the Performance
Guarantees set forth in Section 7.3 above during a Performance Test as provided
herein, and Kiewit has not been able to correct the defect and pass all
components of the Performance Tests within the time set forth at Section 7.6
above, then Kiewit shall pay to Owner liquidated damages based on the net
amount (i.e. the amount of damages in each case for which damages apply shall
be netted against the countervailing factor in each case for which the
countervailing factor applies, to determine the final net performance
liquidated damages if any) due as set forth in Section 7.8 below up to a
maximum cumulative amount in accordance with Article 16 of the General
Conditions of this Contract. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on damages for failure to
reach the Performance Guarantees, Kiewit shall be obligated to continue all
aspects of the Work necessary to achieve the Performance Guarantees, except as
such obligation is limited by Section 16.1. 
For the avoidance of doubt, the countervailing factors shall not be
taken into account for the purposes of determining whether Substantial
Completion or the Threshold has been achieved. 
Kiewit shall pay such liquidated damages no later than the date that is
six (6) months after the achievement of the Threshold.

The sum of the countervailing factors,
determined as set forth under Section 7.8 below, shall be deducted from the sum
of the damages determined thereunder.  In
no case, however, shall Owner have any obligation to pay Kiewit as a result of
such calculation.  If the countervailing
factors are greater than the damages, the performance liquidated damages shall
be deemed to be zero.

  Fuel Ethanol Yield:

  	
  $*** per *** pounds of
  anhydrous undenatured ethanol (average per ASTM D4806-06) per pound of dry
  fermentable starch that the Performance Test results show lower or higher
  than the guaranteed Anhydrous Fuel Ethanol Yield listed in Section 7.3.1
  above. To the extent the yield is lower the resulting number shall constitute
  damages. To the extent that it is higher the resulting amount shall be a
  countervailing factor.

  
 For purposes of calculating damages
  as set forth above, damages shall be measured in increments of .001. An
  increment of .0005 or less is rounded down. An increment of .0006 or above
  would be rounded up.

7.9                               Damages Reasonable:  The Parties acknowledge and agree that the
terms of this Contract with respect to liquidated damages, including those
payable under this Article 7, are fair and reasonable considering the damage
Owner would sustain in the event of the failure of the Plant to meet the
Performance Guarantees set forth in Section 7.3 above, that such damages have
been agreed upon and fixed as liquidated damages because of the difficulty of
ascertaining as of the date hereof the exact damages that would be sustained by
Owner, and that such liquidated damages provisions shall be applicable
regardless of the actual amount of damages sustained.  All amounts shall be paid as liquidated

 22
 

damages
and not as a penalty.  The Parties
specifically waive the right to challenge the liquidated damages rates and
limits provided herein.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing limitations on damages for failure to reach the Performance
Guarantees, Kiewit shall be obligated to continue all aspects of the Work
necessary to achieve the Performance Guarantees, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 16.1.

7.10                        Performance Bonus:  Upon Final Acceptance, Kiewit and Owner shall
cooperate during a six-month bonus period of operation.  Owner agrees to pay to Kiewit a bonus of $***
for each *** above *** of Nameplate, capped at a bonus of $***; provided that
the Plant meets the requirements of all applicable permits required for the
operation of the Plant on a continuous basis (e.g. if there is an annual limit
on emissions, the operation of the Plant at the levels during the applicable
period, if operated on a continuous basis for a year, would meet the applicable
annual emissions requirements).  Kiewit
has six (6) months from Final Acceptance to achieve this bonus.  The bonus shall be determined by reviewing
operating data on rolling two-week periods commencing on the date of Final
Acceptance.  Bonus shall be payable
thirty (30) Days after achieving these bonus criteria.

7.11                        Training of Owner’s Personnel:  Kiewit shall provide the training described
in Exhibit A.  Owner shall provide
appropriate personnel, and Kiewit shall provide such training, at times
mutually agreed by them, commencing prior to Commissioning in sufficient time
to prepare Owner’s employees to perform Commissioning and Startup and to
perform their obligations with respect to the Performance Test.

7.12                        Use of Plant Prior to Final Acceptance:  Owner may use the Plant for commercial
purposes on or after the achievement of Substantial Completion.  If Owner elects to use any portion of the
Work for commercial purposes prior to Final Acceptance, it shall allow Kiewit
reasonably unrestricted access to the Plant to do all things required to be
done to complete the Punch List and achieve Final Acceptance and to meet full
Performance Guarantees, as long as such access does not unreasonably interfere
with Owner’s use of the Plant for commercial

 23
 

purposes.  In the event Owner fails to comply with its
obligation to provide Kiewit access to the Plant as set forth in the preceding
sentence, (i) for each day that Owner so fails to provide such access, Kiewit
shall have an additional day to satisfy its obligations hereunder which were
adversely affected by Owner’s failure to so provide such access and (ii) if
such failure to so provide such access is for an aggregate of thirty (30) days,
then at the end of such thirty (30) aggregate day period, if Final Acceptance
has not yet occurred, the matters set forth in items (i), (ii) and (iii) of the
definition of Final Acceptance shall be deemed to have occurred.

7.13                        Final Acceptance:  Kiewit shall provide Owner a certificate of
Final Acceptance certifying that all requirements for Final Acceptance have been
met at the time when all requirements for Final Acceptance have been
achieved.  Owner shall have ten (10)
Business Days after receipt of such certificate to advise Kiewit as to whether
it agrees Final Acceptance has been achieved. 
Owner shall specify in detail any requirements for Final Acceptance
which it believes Kiewit has failed to achieve. 
Final Acceptance shall be deemed to have occurred on the date when the
last of the requirements for Final Acceptance has been achieved.

8.                                      Price and Payment

8.1                               Contract Sum:  Owner will pay Kiewit for the full and
satisfactory completion of the Work the Contract Sum of ***, or such other sum
as may be adjusted in accordance with this Contract, plus Excluded Taxes
required under applicable
laws to be paid or remitted by Kiewit in connection with the Work.  Owner shall be credited against the Contract
Sum with all amounts paid by Owner or its affiliates under the AWA  and the Pre-EPC Agreement.  The Contract Sum includes the cost of
materials and Equipment described in the AWA and the Pre-EPC Agreement to the
extent such materials and Equipment are incorporated into the Work.  In addition, the Contract Sum includes  allowances for each of the matters (and for
the amounts) set forth on Exhibit P.  The
Contract Sum shall be adjusted for (a) preliminary site Work and piling Work
according to the difference between (i) the estimate for such Work set forth on
Exhibit P and (ii) Kiewit’s actual costs of performing such preliminary site
Work and piling Work plus a

 24
 

markup
of *** and (b) all other Work set forth on Exhibit P (i.e. other than
preliminary site Work and pilings Work) according to the difference between (i)
the estimate for such Work set forth on Exhibit P and (ii) Kiewit’s actual
costs of performing such Work (without any markup).  All matters covered under the AWA and Pre-EPC
Agreement are superseded by the provisions of this Contract and are covered
hereby.  The license fee to be paid by
Owner under the License Agreement shall be paid by Owner directly to Delta-T
and is not included in the Contract Sum. 
If the Notice to Proceed is 
provided more than ninety (90) days after the execution date of this
Contract, the Contract Sum and the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date shall
be subject to equitable adjustment in accordance with Article 6.

The Contract Sum does not include Excluded
Taxes.  Excluded Taxes means any: (i)
taxes imposed by any Governmental Entity on the gross receipts earned by, or
paid to, Kiewit on the Contract Sum or any other amounts to be paid by Owner to
Kiewit hereunder or any portion of such amounts thereof, (ii) sales or use
taxes imposed on Kiewit or any of its Subcontractors for purchases or sales of
Equipment or any other materials to be installed in, affixed to, or
incorporated into the Plant or the Plant Site or (iii) any property taxes
imposed directly or indirectly by any Governmental Entity on the Plant,
Equipment, or any other materials to be installed in, affixed to, or
incorporated into the Plant or the Plant Site; provided, however, Excluded
Taxes do not include any tax based on the income of Kiewit or its
Subcontractors, such as the Indiana adjusted gross income tax (IC § 6-3-14, et
seq.).  If Kiewit or any of its
Subcontractors are, now or in the future, required to collect from Owner or pay
any Excluded Taxes with respect to all or any part of the Work (other than any
such tax based on income), then that amount shall be paid by Owner at Kiewit’s
request, in addition to the Contract Sum. 
Kiewit shall (and shall make a good faith effort to cause its
Subcontractors to) cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to Owner in
obtaining any exclusions, exemptions or credits from any Excluded Taxes and to
minimize said Excluded Taxes.  Owner
shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify Kiewit and its Subcontractors for,
and reimburse to Kiewit or any of its Subcontractors, any Excluded Taxes,
interest or penalties associated therewith, or any other amounts, that must be
paid by Kiewit or any of its Subcontractors as a result of an assessment or
other action by a Governmental Entity as the result of Kiewit’s or

 25
 

Kiewit’s Subcontractors’ reliance upon Owner’s
claims of entitlement to any exemptions or reductions of Excluded Taxes.  Upon Kiewit or any of its Subcontractors
receiving any such assessment or notice of any such other action by a
Governmental Entity, Kiewit shall, and shall cause its Subcontractors to,
promptly notify Owner of same.  Upon
Owner’s receipt of such notice from Kiewit or its Subcontractors, Owner shall
undertake the defense of any such assessment or other action by the applicable
Governmental Entity, and Kiewit shall, and shall cause its Subcontractors to,
cooperate with Owner in such defense. 
Owner shall have the right to control such defense of any such assessment
or other action by the applicable Governmental Entity.  A preliminary listing of available tax
exemptions and concessions expected to be applicable to or available to the
construction or operation of the Plant is attached hereto as Exhibit Q.

If Kiewit or any of its Subcontractors are
required by applicable laws or are otherwise required to pay Excluded Taxes,
Kiewit shall include requests for payment or reimbursement of such Excluded
Taxes with Applications for Payment, the Final Payment, or any time within
ninety (90) Days of a requirement by a Governmental Entity to pay such Excluded
Taxes.

8.2                               Termination Fee:  In the event that Owner exercises a right to
terminate under Section 9.4, or in the event that Kiewit terminates this
Contract under Section 9.3 (provided the suspension of the Work which resulted
in such termination by Kiewit does not include a suspension due to a Force
Majeure Event),  the Owner shall pay in
addition to sums due under Section 9.4 of the General Conditions, a fee
determined as follows, as a liquidated damage for lost opportunity cost and not
as a penalty:  

	
  Termination:

  	
   

  	
  Termination Fee as a Percentage

  of Total Contract Sum

  
	
  Within Ninety
  (90) Days after the Date of Commencement

  	
   

  	
  ***

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  From Ninety-one
  (91) to one hundred fifty (150) Days after the Date of Commencement

  	
   

  	
  ***

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  From One hundred
  fifty-one (151) to two hundred ten (210) Days after the Date of Commencement

 26
 

 

8.3                               Payment Terms:  Owner shall provide a mobilization payment to
Kiewit in accordance with and at the times set forth in Exhibit B.  Owner shall make monthly progress payments
according to percentage of completion beginning with and including payments
made for work done under the AWA or Pre-EPC Agreement as set forth on Exhibit R,
which payment schedule shall reflect the concept of “cash neutrality”.  For purposes of this Contract, “cash
neutrality” shall mean that Kiewit will not be required to be out of pocket at
any time for any amounts owed by Kiewit for the Work and that Kiewit shall not
be paid by Owner for the Work in advance in such a manner that would result in
Kiewit being cash positive as reasonably estimated by Owner and Kiewit. In the
event the payment schedule set forth on Exhibit R conflicts with the foregoing
definition of Cash Neutrality, the parties agree to conform said exhibit
accordingly.  Kiewit shall submit
Applications for Payment in the form set forth at Exhibit B.1, together with
reasonable supporting documentation for said Application, to Owner.  Owner shall, through Owner’s Representative,
sign the Certificate for Payment set forth on the Application for Payment for
the full payment applied for, unless it believes that all or any part of such
amount is not then due.  If Owner
believes all or part of the amount requested in the Application for Payment is
not then due, Owner shall amend the Application for Payment contained therein
by indicating the amount, if any, that it believes to be due, and shall sign
the application as amended and deliver the certificate, together with written
notice of Owner’s reasons for certifying less than the whole amount applied
for.  Retainage for each payment shall be
*** for a 108 MGY plant; provided however, that Kiewit may provide an
adjustable and irrevocable letter of credit in lieu of retainage in a form
reasonably acceptable to Owner.  There
shall be no retainage for Equipment that was the subject of the AWA.    In addition, upon payment of *** of the
Contract Sum (excluding payments for Equipment that was the subject of the
AWA), and provided Kiewit is in material compliance with this Contract, there
shall be no retainage on any further payments under this Contract.  Upon reaching the Threshold, and provided
Contractor is in  material compliance
with this Contract, Owner shall release the retainage in exchange for Kiewit
providing Owner a letter of credit for an amount equal to *** of the agreed
upon estimated value of the

 27
 

cost
of completion of Punch List items plus any potential liability of Kiewit for
liquidated damages.  Owner shall wire
transfer, in immediately available funds, all amounts for which it has issued
certificates, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of its receipt of
the Application for Payment, to a bank account to be selected by Kiewit.  If Owner does not certify payment in the
amount of the Application, and Kiewit and Owner cannot agree on a revised
amount within five (5) Business Days of the date of the Owner’s submittal of
the amended Application for less than the full amount, then either Party may
commence the Dispute Resolution process in accordance with Article 18.  In any case, when the reasons stated by Owner
for withholding payment of any amount for which an application has been made
are removed to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction, in whole or in part, Owner
shall immediately issue a Certificate for Payment for the amount withheld (to
the extent the reason stated for withholding is removed) and make payment, via
wire transfer as described in this Section 8.3, of the amount so certified on or
before the date that the next payment is due.

8.4                               Late Payment:  Late payments by either Party shall bear
interest at the rate of Wall Street Journal prime rate plus two percent (2%).

8.5                               Mechanic’s Lien Waivers and Indemnity:  Kiewit shall pay promptly for all amounts due
for all materials, labor, Service and Equipment used in or in connection with
the performance of this Contract, including those of its Subcontractors, when
bills or claims become due, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner from and
against all claims of its Subcontractors. 
Owner shall give Kiewit prompt notice of any such claim upon receipt by
Owner of any such claim.

8.6                               Mechanic’s Liens:  Kiewit shall keep the Plant Site and any
other adjacent real property owned or leased by Owner and all other property of
Owner which is located on the Plant Site or such adjacent real property, free
and clear of laborer’s, materialmen’s and mechanic’s or similar type liens
arising out of the performance of the Work, unless Owner fails to make required
payments to Kiewit as set forth in this Article 8 and then only to the extent
Owner has failed to make such payments. 
Owner shall promptly notify Kiewit in writing of any lien so

 28
 

arising
of which it has notice or knowledge. 
Kiewit shall provide to Owner as a condition to payments to be made
pursuant to Article 8, a partial release of lien in the form of Exhibit B.2.1
duly executed by Kiewit and any major Subcontractors (those with subcontracts
having a value of over $500,000) and shall also obtain and timely provide a
complete release of lien and general release with respect to any such
subcontract for which full and final payment is made, in the form of Exhibit
B.2.  In each case, the release of lien
may be for an amount less amounts that will be paid from the payment for which
such release of lien is requested. 
Kiewit shall promptly pay each Subcontractor upon receipt of payment
from Owner of the amount invoiced that is undisputed and due to such
Subcontractor.

If notwithstanding the foregoing, a lien is
attached to the Plant, or the Plant Site, or any part thereof, without limiting
any other rights of Owner, Owner shall have the right, at its option, to take
all action reasonably necessary to discharge such lien upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Kiewit of such lien. 
Kiewit shall reimburse Owner for all amounts expended by Owner to obtain
such discharge, including all costs and attorney’s fees and expenses and Owner
shall have the right to deduct such amounts from payments otherwise due to
Kiewit which will be debts due and payable by Kiewit to Owner.

8.7                               Final Payment:  Kiewit shall invoice Owner for the final
amount due to it under this Contract upon reaching Final Acceptance.  Payment of all of the Contract Sum remaining
unpaid, and any and all other amounts owing to Kiewit under the Contract (less
and except any amounts owed by Kiewit to Owner), shall be made within thirty
(30) Days after Final Acceptance and receipt by Owner of a final invoice; provided,
that such payment shall not become due until Kiewit submits to Owner an
affidavit in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner that all
payrolls, undisputed amounts owed to Subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen
and any other indebtedness which might be or give rise to a lien against the
Plant or the Plant Site arising out of performance of the Work or any portion
thereof have been paid.

 29
 

8.8                               Effect of Payment

No payment, final or otherwise or verification
under this Article 8, shall constitute a waiver of claims by Owner or
constitute or be deemed an acceptance, in whole or in part, of any portion of
the Plant not in accordance with this Contract.

Upon receipt by Kiewit of payment in respect of
the final Application for Payment pursuant to Section 8.7 (“Final Payment”), Kiewit
releases Owner from any claim for payment for the Work.  For the avoidance of doubt, the sums paid to
Kiewit in respect of its final Application for Payment pursuant to Section 8.7
shall constitute a valid and binding Final Payment for the purposes of this
Section 8.8.

8.9                               Set-Off

Owner may deduct from moneys otherwise due to
Kiewit:

(i)                                     any debt or other moneys due from Kiewit
to Owner in relation to the Contract; and

(ii)                                  any claim to money which the Owner may
have against the Kiewit whether for damages (including liquidated damages) or
otherwise, under this Contract or otherwise at law relating to the Work.

9.                                      Rights of Owner and Kiewit to Suspend Work or
Terminate

9.1                               Owner’s Right to Terminate For Cause:  Owner may terminate this Contract if Kiewit
commits or is subject to (a) voluntary bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization
or insolvency; (b) involuntary bankruptcy liquidation, reorganization or
insolvency; (c) false or materially misleading representation or warranty; (d)
assignment or transfer without permission; (e) failure to maintain insurance
coverage as required; (f) failure to comply with any applicable law or permit;
(g) cessation or abandonment of the Services (unless due to an emergency and
then only for the duration necessitated by the emergency or due to Owner’s
failure to make payment as required); (h) failure to supply sufficient skilled
workers or suitable materials and equipment; (i) failure to achieve Substantial
Completion within one hundred eighty (180) Days of the Guaranteed Substantial
Completion Date; (j) failure to perform or observe any other material provision
of this Contract; or (k) termination or repudiation of the EPC Guaranty

 30
 

or
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency of the guarantor under the
EPC Guaranty; and, in the case of (c), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (j), Kiewit fails
to cure such breach within thirty (30) Days (or such longer period (not to
exceed one hundred eighty (180) Days) in the case of (e), (f), (h) or (j)) from
written notice of such breach as may be commercially necessary.

Upon such termination Owner may take possession
of the Work completed by Kiewit or delivered to the Plant Site and all
materials and Equipment at the Plant Site acquired for incorporation into the
Work and owned by Owner or Kiewit, take assignment of all purchase orders and
subcontracts related to the Work and complete the Work by whatever reasonable
method Owner may deem expedient.  Owner
shall permit Kiewit access to the Plant Site after such termination as
reasonably required by Kiewit to remove any equipment, trailers, supplies,
goods and materials maintained by Kiewit in connection with the Work but not
intended to be incorporated into the Plant, or owned or used by any of its
Subcontractors under subcontracts not to be assigned to Owner.  In the event of termination for any of the
reasons set forth above, Kiewit will be liable to Owner for any reasonable
costs incurred by Owner to build the Plant as specified, in excess of the
Contract Sum, up to a maximum of one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract
Sum.  In case of such termination, the
license granted under Section 2.4 above shall remain effective.

9.2                               Kiewit’s Right to Suspend Work:  If Owner does not pay Kiewit amounts that
Owner has certified in writing for payment by the date such payment is due,
then Kiewit may, upon fifteen (15) Days written notice to Owner, suspend the
Work until payment of the amount owing has been received.  If Kiewit suspends the Work under this
Section 9.2, then Kiewit shall be entitled to a change order in accordance with
Article 6.

9.3                               Kiewit’s Right to Terminate:  Kiewit may terminate the Contract on fifteen
(15) Days written notice to Owner if the Work is suspended, without fault on
the part of Kiewit or, any of its Subcontractors, for more than one hundred
eighty (180) consecutive Days.  In such
event the termination shall be treated as if it were a termination for
convenience by Owner, in accordance with Section 9.4, except that no
Termination Fee shall be owed under Section 8.2 if such suspension

 31
 

which
resulted in such termination included a suspension due to a Force Majeure
Event.

9.4                               Termination for Convenience by Owner.  Owner shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to terminate this Contract for convenience by giving written notice
to Kiewit, but in the event of such termination for convenience, Owner will not
enter into a contract with another person or entity to construct the
Plant.  Upon such notice Kiewit shall
immediately stop work and take all necessary and prudent actions to protect and
preserve the Work, and to minimize Owner’s costs in terminating the project at
that stage of completion.  Upon such
termination Owner shall pay Kiewit (a) all amounts then due to it under this
Contract as of the date of termination, including all amounts completed but not
yet invoiced, and including the portions, if any, of such amounts that would
have been held as retainage in accordance with Section 8.3 (or shall release
the letter of credit in lieu of retainage, or the Punch-list letter of credit
as applicable),  (b) all unavoidable
costs payable to Subcontractors, including, without limitation, fees for
cancellation or breakage costs, and Kiewit’s costs of demobilization, and (c) a
termination fee calculated as set forth in Section 8.2, but in no event shall
the total of such amounts set forth in Paragraphs (a) - (c) above exceed the
Contract Sum.  For this purpose, the
amounts then due to Kiewit shall be deemed to be all amounts billed in
accordance with Exhibit B up to the date of termination, plus the value of all
goods delivered and services performed under this Contract and not billed as of
the date of termination less any amounts which have been prepaid by Owner for
said items.  In the event that the
Parties cannot agree on the total amount due within thirty (30) Days of the
date of Kiewit’s demand for payment hereunder and delivery by Kiewit to Owner
of all backup documentation supporting the amounts claimed to be owed by
Kiewit, either Party may initiate the Dispute Resolution process set forth in
Article 18 below.

9.5                               Owner’s Right to Suspend.  Owner shall have the right, in its sole
discretion to suspend work under this Contract for periods of time up to one
hundred eighty (180) days individually and in the aggregate.  In such event, Kiewit shall be entitled to an
equitable adjustment to the Contract Sum and to the Schedule in accordance with
Article 6 herein, including, but not limited to, an adjustment for

 32
 

costs
of escalation for labor and materials, unless such suspension is due to the
failure of Kiewit or its Subcontractors to act in accordance with Good Industry
Standards in the performance of their obligations under this Contract.

10.          Safety
and Security

10.1                        Premises:  Kiewit will keep the Plant Site clean and
orderly and will insure that its Subcontractors do likewise.  At completion of the Work, Kiewit shall leave
the Plant Site clean of all debris resulting from performance of the Work and
in an orderly condition, to enable safe and reliable operation of the Plant in
accordance with Applicable Laws.

10.2                        Security:  During construction and installation of the
Work, Kiewit shall be solely responsible to protect the Work and all Equipment
and materials to be used in connection with the Work and located on the Work
site safe from injury, defacement, theft or damage and all equipment owned or
leased by Kiewit or any of its Subcontractors, and all other equipment and
goods of any kind located at the Plant Site for the purpose of performing the
Work.  Kiewit shall hire guards and
watchmen as reasonably necessary to watch the Plant Site and shall take other
actions as appropriate to maintain the security of the Plant Site and prevent
loss or damage to the Plant, the Equipment or the Plant Site.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of
this Section 10.2, Kiewit shall ensure that lay-down and staging operations,
parking and warehousing, is adequately protected from theft, damage or
mischief.

10.3                        Safety:
Kiewit will insure all its labor and other authorized personnel comply with all
appropriate safety and security regulations, procedures or standards of Kiewit
and governmental authorities and in accordance with Owner’s safety standards
set forth in Exhibit S attached hereto. Kiewit shall furnish and maintain all
necessary safety equipment and training for its employees and shall maintain a
safe work site at all times.

11.                               Project Execution

11.1                        Kiewit Representatives:  Kiewit will keep a competent Project Manager
(“Kiewit’s Project Manager”) assigned to the Work at all times during its
performance of the Work and shall immediately notify Owner of said appointment,
provided that the appointment shall be subject to the reasonable approval of
Owner.  Kiewit’s Project Manager shall
represent Kiewit, and written communications given to Kiewit’s Project Manager
shall be as binding as if given to Kiewit itself.  Kiewit shall have the Kiewit Project Manager
on site, or available in person or by telephone within twenty four 24 hours, at
all times during the performance of the Work.

11.2                        Owner Representative:  Owner will have at all times during the
progress of the Work, a competent representative (“Owner’s Representative”)
assigned to the Work.  Owner’s
Representative shall represent Owner, and written communications given to Owner’s
Representative shall be as binding as if given to Owner itself.  Owner shall have its Owner’s Representative
on site, or available in person or by telephone within twenty four 24 hours, at
all times during the performance of the Work.

11.3                        Project Reviews and Approvals:

11.3.1     Reviews:  Kiewit will, as appropriate, and additionally
upon Owner’s request, issue a project progress schedule to Owner which shall
include the schedule and status of construction and procurement activities and
estimated time to complete the Work. 
Kiewit shall participate in reviews of the progress of the Work at the
Work site at Owner’s request as set forth in Exhibit A, and if no provision for
progress reviews is made in such exhibit, at Owner’s request up to once each
month.  Owner may review and comment on
any plan, drawing or specification that Kiewit delivers to Owner.  No review or comment made by Owner shall
result in Owner’s being deemed to have assumed any responsibility for any of
the Work.  Kiewit shall attempt to
incorporate Owner’s comments where it can do so without materially increasing
Kiewit’s cost, the time required for performance, or any of its other
obligations, but Kiewit shall have no obligation to suspend work to allow time
for review and comment except as provided in the Schedule, or to incorporate
any of Owner’s comments except as

 34
 

required
in order to comply with Kiewit’s obligations under the Contract, or as agreed
under Article 6 above.

11.3.2     Approval
Process:  If Exhibit A or the Schedule provides for
approval by Owner of any document, then, Owner shall be deemed to have given
its approval unless it delivers written notice of its disapproval, and the
specific reasons for its disapproval within the time allowed according to the
Exhibit or Schedule, or in the absence of statement of the time allowed, within
five (5) business days of receipt of the document or written request for
approval; In the event that the reason for disapproval by the reviewing Party
results from failure of the other Party (“submitting Party”) to fulfill any of
its obligations under this Contract, then the submitting Party shall correct
the work or document requiring correction and resubmit it for review.  The reviewing Party shall have the longer of
three (3) Business Days, or one-half the time allowed according to the
applicable Exhibit or Schedule if such time is prescribed, for the initial
review to approve or disapprove the resubmitted work or document, and it shall
be deemed to have given its approval unless it delivers written notice of its
disapproval, and the specific reasons for its disapproval, within that time.
The review and resubmittal process shall continue in like manner until the
submitted Work is approved.  In the event
that any disapproval results from a cause other than failure of the submitting
Party to fulfill any of its obligations under this Contract, the Guaranteed
Substantial Completion Date and other relevant milestones shall automatically
be extended as provided at Section 5.1 above.

11.4                        Notice of Subcontractor Selection:  Kiewit shall, as soon as practicable after
award of the Contract, furnish in writing to Owner the names of persons or
entities (including those who are proposed to furnish materials or Equipment
fabricated to a special design) proposed for major portions of the Work (over
$500,000).  If such person or entity is
not listed on the pre-approved list of major Subcontractors provided as Exhibit
T hereto, Owner may reasonably reject any such proposed person or entity,
provided that Owner must reject any such proposed Subcontractor within five (5)
Business Days after receipt by Owner of such proposal by Kiewit, or else such
proposed Subcontractor shall be deemed acceptable to Owner.  Subject to the preceding sentence, Owner
acknowledges

 35
 

(i)
that Kiewit, particularly on large or fast-track projects, may not make final
selection of some Subcontractors until later in the project, and (ii) that
Kiewit has the right to select Subcontractors as long as such selection would
not result in failure by Kiewit to satisfy the requirements of this
Contract.  The subcontracting of any
portion of the Work, as described in Exhibit A, shall not relieve Kiewit of
responsibility for performance of the Work as provided therein.  Subject to the foregoing, Kiewit shall have
the right to subcontract such portions of the Work (but not all of the Work) as
it shall determine to be necessary to others which, in turn, shall have the
right to subcontract such portions of the Work assigned to them, if any, as
they shall deem necessary.

Kiewit acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)                                  the provisions of this Section 11.4 shall
not operate to limit or relieve in any way any obligation of Kiewit to Owner
under this Contract, including obligations with respect to the conduct and
completion of the Work in strict accordance with the terms of this Contract;
and

(b)                                 it will be liable to Owner for all acts,
omissions and defaults of the Subcontractors (and those of the employees and
agents of the Subcontractors) relating to, or in any way connected with, the
Work, to the same extent as if they were the acts, omissions and defaults of
Kiewit.

11.5                        No Privity Between Subcontractors and Owner:  Nothing herein shall establish any
contractual relationship or privity between Owner and any Subcontractor.

11.6                        Relations with Subcontractors

All Work performed by any Subcontractor will be
accomplished pursuant to an appropriate agreement which shall provide for a
novation or assignment as set forth in Section 12.1.

 36
 

11.7                        Payments to Subcontractors

Owner shall have no obligation to pay, or to
cause the payment of, any moneys to any Subcontractor or any other person acting
through, under or on behalf of Kiewit.

be free from defects in design, material, and workmanship until twelve (12)
months from Substantial Completion.   If
any defect covered by the above warranties is discovered within the warranty
period, Kiewit shall, subject to the provisions set forth below, repair or
replace the defective design, workmanship, material or Equipment, and such
repair or replacement (including any ancillary or open “in and out” work
required to effectuate such repair or replacement) shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy for any warranty claims. 
Kiewit shall in no case have any liability, under this warranty or
otherwise, for any defect or deterioration which results from failure of Owner
to operate the Plant in accordance with applicable manuals and specifications,
or from ordinary wear and tear, or should Owner operate the Plant
negligently.  Work repaired under warranty
shall be re-warrantied for an additional twelve (12) months, provided that all
warranties shall expire twenty four (24) months from Substantial Completion,
provided any rework under the warranty is not defective.  At the end of the warranty period Kiewit
shall, for the protection of Owner, assign to Owner all warranties and
guarantees supplied by all major Subcontractors (over $500,000) from who it
procured goods or services incorporated into the Work and for any other
Subcontractors who have provided extended warranties.

12.2                        General:  Kiewit warrants that the Work provided by it

KIEWIT MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY UNDER OR BY VIRTUE OF THIS CONTRACT, WHETHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY),
WHETHER RELATED TO GOODS OR SERVICES,

 37
 

AND THAT KIEWIT MAKES
NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND TO ANYONE OTHER THAN TO OWNER.

12.4                        Notice of Warranty Claim: 
Owner shall notify Kiewit of any defect covered by the warranty set
forth in Article 12 within thirty (30) Days after discovering such defect, (but
failure to so notify within said thirty (30) Days shall not constitute a waiver
of any warranty claim except to the extent Kiewit is prejudiced by any delay in
notification beyond any such 30 day period and then only to the extent of such
prejudice), and in no case later than five (5) Days after expiration of the
applicable warranty period.  ANY CLAIM
FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY NOT MADE IN WRITING WITHIN THE TIME PRESCRIBED IN THIS
ARTICLE 12 SHALL BE DEEMED WAIVED.

12.5                        Access During Warranty: 
Owner shall provide Kiewit with reasonable access to the Plant for
warranty work, and the Parties shall coordinate any warranty work requiring an
outage.

13.          Transfer
of Title and Risk of Loss:  Title to the Equipment or any part thereof
and all materials and components used, or to be used in the Plant, shall pass
to Owner upon delivery to the Plant Site. 
Care, custody and control of, and risk of loss to, the Work, or any
part, including the Equipment shall be with Kiewit
until Substantial Completion and shall pass to Owner upon Substantial
Completion.  Kiewit will be held
responsible for any damage (i) to the completed Work occurring after
Substantial Completion or (ii) to the Owner’s existing structures, materials, or
equipment adjacent to or on the Plant Site, in the case of (i) and (ii) to the
extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Kiewit, Kiewit’s
agents or employees, Subcontractors or Subcontractors’ agents or employees, and
shall repair or replace any such damaged Work, structures, materials, or
equipment at no additional cost to Owner. 
Where such loss or damage is the result of the joint negligence of
Kiewit or Kiewit’s agents, employees, Subcontractors or Subcontractors’ agents
or employees, with any other party or third party including Owner, Owner’s
other contractors, agents or employees, lenders, and third parties,  Kiewit shall repair or replace such damaged
Work, structures, materials or equipment, at no additional cost to Owner;
provided, however, such repair or replacement obligation of Kiewit shall not
limit Kiewit’s right to obtain contribution or indemnity from other persons or
entities (including, without limitation, Owner, its agents and employees) who
were also jointly negligent.

 38
 

Upon Substantial Completion, Kiewit’s
responsibility to compensate Owner under this Article shall be limited to
$500,000 per occurrence and Owner shall release and hold Kiewit harmless from
liability to Owner for any loss or damage exceeding such amount.  Owner will cause its insurers to issue a
waiver of subrogation in favor of Kiewit and its Subcontractors of any tier
consistent with the rights and obligations of this Article.

Kiewit’s performance of the Work (either by itself or through any

Subcontractors. This indemnification is valid only if (a) Kiewit gives notice
of any claim or lawsuit for which it claims indemnity within time sufficient
for Owner to contest such claim, (b) Kiewit cooperates fully and promptly with
Owner in the defense thereof, and (c) Owner has full authority in defense of

performance, or breach of this Contract for any indirect, incidental, reliance,
punitive, exemplary, or other consequential damages of any kind (including,
without limitation, lost profits, increase in costs of goods or services
resulting from delay, cost of capital or losses due to business interruption)
whether based in contract, tort or by operation of law, whether or not Kiewit
or Owner had knowledge of the damages that might result, except to the extent
of either Party’s obligations to indemnify for third party claims properly
characterized as

 44
 

consequential
in nature.  Furthermore, Kiewit’s
cumulative liability for any and all losses, claims, or damages of any kind
under this Contract, including without limitation liquidated damages payable
under Article 5 or Article 7, shall in no event exceed *** of the Contract Sum,
which limitation shall be reduced to *** of the Contract Sum upon the
achievement of the Threshold; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations
of liability to *** of the Contract Sum upon the achievement of the Threshold
shall not apply to liability for (i) breach of Kiewit’s obligations to clear
liens in accordance with Section 8.6, (ii) fraud or willful misconduct by
Kiewit or its Subcontractors (iii) Kiewit’s indemnities pursuant to Article 15,
(iv) any right to insurance proceeds Owner may have as a result of its status
as “additional insured” on any policy of insurance supplied by Kiewit pursuant
to this Contract, or (v) Kiewit’s warranty obligations under Article 12;
provided however, that in any event the aggregate limitation of liability of
*** of the Contract Sum shall apply. 
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Kiewit’s liability
under this Contract as to costs associated with any defects in Delta-T scope of
work under Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T (i) which result in the failure to
achieve Substantial Completion shall be limited to *** and (ii) after achieving
Substantial Completion, which result in the failure to achieve the Threshold
shall be limited to the License Fee plus any proceeds from the insurance
coverage under Section 14.2(d) resulting from a claim(s) by Owner, and (iii)
after achieving the Threshold, which results in the failure to achieve the
Performance Guarantees shall be limited to the lesser of the License Fee or the
liquidated damages described in Section 7.8 which would apply for failure to
achieve the Performance Guarantees, plus any proceeds from the insurance
coverage under Section 14.2(d) resulting from a claim(s) by Owner, minus any
amounts incurred by Kiewit under item (ii) of this sentence; provided, however,
in the event of Delta-T’s bankruptcy or insolvency which results in Delta-T not
paying to Kiewit amounts equal to the amount of Kiewit’s liability to Owner
under this sentence up to the applicable limitations on liability set forth
above in this sentence then in lieu of such applicable limitations on
liability, Kiewit’s liability shall be limited to the sum of (x) any amounts
paid by Delta-T to Kiewit with respect to such liability of Kiewit to Owner
under this sentence, (y) any amounts not yet paid by Kiewit to Delta-T under
Kiewit’s subcontract with Delta-T

 45
 

(including
without limitation any retainages) and (z) any proceeds from the insurance
coverage under Section 14.2(d); but only if the sum of (x), (y) and (z) is
lower than the otherwise applicable limitation on liability set forth above in
this sentence.  For the avoidance of
doubt, the limitations of the preceding sentence shall not in any way limit the
insurance carrier’s obligations under such insurance coverage under Section
14.2(d) with respect to any such claim by Owner.  In addition, Kiewit shall be obligated to use
its best reasonable efforts to maximize payments under such coverage with
respect to any such claim(s) by Owner and Kiewit shall be obligated to use its
best reasonable efforts to maximize any recoveries from Delta-T and/or its
bankruptcy estate in the event of Delta-T’s insolvency or bankruptcy.

16.2                        Maximum Liquidated Damages Amounts:

(a)           Notwithstanding any other provisions
in this Contract to the contrary, in no event shall Kiewit’s aggregate
liability for the liquidated damages described in Section 5.1 associated with a
delay in Substantial Completion exceed *** of the Contract Sum, except for
delays attributable to equipment which is the subject of the AWA for which such
liquidated damages shall not exceed *** of the Contract Sum, and except for
delays for which Kiewit pays Reduced LDs (as defined in Section 5.1) for which
such liquidated damages shall not exceed ***.

(b)           In no event shall Kiewit’s liability
for liquidated damages described in Section 7.8 associated with failure to
achieve the Anhydrous Fuel Ethanol Production Guarantee, Anhydrous Fuel Ethanol
Yield Guarantee, and the Natural Gas Consumption Guarantee due to Delta-T’s
design of the Plant exceed, individually and in the aggregate, ***, less any
amounts incurred by Kiewit under items (ii) and (iii) of the third to last
sentence (i.e. beginning with “Notwithstanding any provision. . .”)
of Section 16.1 above (excluding any proceeds from the insurance coverage under
Section 14.2(d)).

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Contract to the contrary, in no event shall Kiewit’s aggregate
liability for liquidated damages described in Section 5.1 and Section 7.8
exceed *** of the Contract Sum.

arising out of or related to this Contract, or the interpretation, termination
or breach hereof, the Parties shall, upon the written request of either of
them, attempt to resolve the matter by agreement of the representatives of the

submit the matter to mediation under the then current rules of mediation and
conciliation of the American Arbitration Association.  The Parties shall attempt to resolve any matter
submitted to mediation under this Section 18.1 within thirty (30) Days after

19.          Force
Majeure Event

A “Force Majeure Event” is any act or event that
prevents the affected party from performing its obligations (other than the
payment of money) or complying with any conditions under this Contract if such
act or event is beyond the reasonable control of, and not the fault of, the
affected party and such party has been unable by the exercise of due diligence
to overcome or mitigate the effects of such act or event.  Force Majeure Events include but are not
limited to acts of war, sabotage, hurricane, tornado, flood,

 48
 

unusually severe weather conditions, lightning,
earthquake, fire, explosion, civil disturbance, act of God or the public enemy,
any unreasonable delay or failure to act of any court or government authority
(acting in its governmental capacity and not as a provider of utility services)
with respect to a requested action necessary for performance of the Services
(provided that such requested action is legal, customary and within such
authority’s jurisdiction and application therefor was made in a proper and
timely manner and was diligently pursued), strikes or other labor disputes of a
regional or national character, or transportation accidents (including, but not
limited to vessels at sea) involving long lead items of Equipment.  Force Majeure Events do not include on-site
strikes, on-site work stoppages and on-site labor disputes or unrest involving
employees of Kiewit or its Subcontractors, breakdown or late delivery ex works
by Subcontractors of Equipment or materials (except to the extent caused by a

Equipment, materials or other components of the Services, and economic
hardship.

20.          General
Provisions

20.1                        Assignment:  Neither Kiewit nor Owner shall assign or
transfer its duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that Owner
may assign this Contract to its lenders to the extent necessary to support
obligations inherent in the project financing structure and to the Indiana Port
Commission in connection with that certain lease of the Plant Site between
Owner, as lessee, and the Indiana Port Commission, as lessor, dated October 31,

There are no statements, agreements, understandings, representations or
trade customs of any kind, express or implied, concerning the subject matter
which are not merged herein or superseded hereby.  A waiver of any of the terms of this Contract
shall not bind either Party unless signed by one of its duly authorized
Representatives.  Waiver

 49
 

by
either Party of any default by the other Party hereunder shall not be deemed a
waiver by such Party of any default by the other which may occur
thereafter.  This Contract may only be
modified or amended by an agreement in writing executed by both Parties hereto.

20.3                        Governing Law:  The validity, performance, construction and

intended by either Party to give any benefits, rights, privileges, actions or
remedies to any person, partnership, firm or corporation (other than a Party or
its permitted assignee) as a third party beneficiary under any theory of law,
except to the extent such benefits, rights, privileges, actions or remedies are
specifically attributed to Delta-T.

 50
 

20.7                        Equal Bargain and Representation:  The Parties have participated jointly in the
negotiations and drafting of this Contract. 
In the event that an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises, this Contract shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties
hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or
disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of
this Contract.  Each of the Parties
acknowledges that it has been represented by legal counsel of its own choice
throughout all negotiations, preparation, review and execution of this
Contract, and that each Party has executed this Contract voluntarily and with
the consent and on the advice of any such legal counsel.  In entering into this Contract, each Party
has undertaken such factual inquiry as it has deemed necessary and has relied
solely on that inquiry and not on statements or representations of the other
Party except as expressly set forth in this Contract.

20.8                        Time Bar to Claims:  All claims by Owner against Kiewit arising
out of or in any way connected with this Contract or the services to be
performed hereunder, or by Owner against Delta-T arising out of or relating to
this Contract or the services to be performed hereunder, shall be barred and
under no circumstances shall any such claim be asserted by Owner unless
asserted in writing to Kiewit within four (4) years after the date of achieving

herein, in which case the date of termination of this Contract shall be the
date on which such period shall commence; provided, however, notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any claim is asserted by a third party against Owner for
which Owner would have a claim against Kiewit or Delta-T, including, but not
limited to, matters covered by Section 15.2 of this Contract, the foregoing
four (4) year limitation period shall not apply and instead a ten (10) year
limitation period shall apply.

20.9                        Representations:  Each Party represents and warrants to the
other as of the date hereof that:

(a)           Organization, Qualification and
Good Standing.  Such Party (a) is
duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its
state of organization, (b) is duly qualified to transact business and is in
good standing

 51
 

under
the laws of each jurisdiction where the conduct of its business requires it to
so qualify, and (c) has all the requisite company power and authority to own or
hold under lease its property and assets, and to transact the business in which
it is engaged.

(b)                                 Authority.
This Contract has been duly executed and delivered by such Party.  Such Party has the full power and authority
to enter into this Contract, to make the representations, warranties, covenants
and agreements made herein and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby.  The execution, delivery and
performance of this Contract and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite
company action on the part of such Party.

(c)                                  Legally
Binding.  This Contract and each of the documents
described herein to be executed by such Party constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance
with their terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, or other similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’
rights in general, and to moratorium laws from time to time in effect.

(d)                                 No
Violation or Breach Resulting from this Transaction.  Neither the execution or delivery of this
Contract by such Party nor the consummation by such Party of the transactions
contemplated hereby:

(i)            shall
constitute a violation or breach by such Party of any judgment, order, writ,
injunction or decrees issued against or imposed upon such Party; or

(ii)           shall
result in the violation by such Party of any applicable law, order, rule or
regulation or decree of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority.

20.10                 Kiewit’s Representations:  Kiewit represents to Owner as follows:

(i)            Upon
Substantial Completion and at all relevant times thereafter, the Plant  will be fit for its intended purposes;

 52
 

(ii)           Kiewit
shall perform its construction, installation, commissioning and testing
services hereunder in a good and workmanlike manner and otherwise in accordance
with Good Industry Standards;

(iii)          The
Plant will, at all times through Final Acceptance, comply with all Applicable
Laws, the applicable requirements of this Contract and Good Industry Standards;

(iv)          All
Work Materials procured or furnished by Kiewit hereunder shall be new or unused
(unless otherwise agreed by Owner in writing), of good quality and in
accordance with Good Industry Standards and the specifications set forth in
this Contract and the Schedules.

(v)           When
operated at the nameplate capacity in accordance with Delta-T operating
procedures, the Plant will not produce a process contact discharge effluent
stream.  All effluent generated by the
process units, over and above what is directly recycled to the process, will be
capable of being directed to the waste water collection tank described in
Exhibit A, which will be capable of receiving and holding all such effluent.
This tank will be capable of being utilized as a temporary storage location and
will be capable of allowing any off specification contents to be buffered prior
to being reintroduced into the process. 
Material from the waste water collection tank will be capable of being
recycled into the process at an appropriate flow rate.

20.11                 Time:  Time is of the essence in the performance of
all obligations of this Contract; provided however, that the only guarantees,
liabilities and liquidated damages that will apply with respect to this
obligation are those specifically stated in this Contract.

20.12                 Counterparts: 
This Contract may be executed by Kiewit and Owner in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Execution can be evidenced by fax signatures
with original signature pages to follow in due course.

 53
 

Witness Whereof, the Parties hereto have
executed this Contract on the 31 day of May, 2007.

3.3                                                         Geotechnical
Analysis and Foundation Basis

The
Scope of Work is based upon Exhibit D, Site Geotechnical Report dated May 18,
2007 (the Geotechnical Report”). To supplement this preliminary analysis, the
following comments are noted.

·                  The
corn silos will likely be on piles

·                  Other
areas of the plant are expected to be supported on native soil, geopiers, or to
over excavate and re-compact.

Kiewit’s
design also assumes no bedrock, or groundwater, other than as set forth in the
Geotechnical Report, will be encountered, and deep foundations i.e. piles,
geopiers, etc. will be used for the corn silo loads.  Other areas of the plant will use geopiers,
over-excavated/re-compacted or native soil. 
The design assumes that all soils can be excavated with small scrapers
and used for fill.  The design does not
provide for the handling or disposal of unsuitable soils, buried refuse or
debris.  The design assumes that design
soil compaction can be achieved using the existing site soils.  All subsurface conditions shall be considered
to be consistent with native soils with no below grade obstructions.

A
final geotechnical report shall be provided by the Owner, coordinated with
Kiewit..  It shall include borings,
samples and laboratory testing sufficient to determine the existing soil
conditions for design and construction of the foundations and other specific
features for all major equipment items including tanks, cooling tower, stacks,
buildings, plant components, disposal facilities, and roads.  The report shall include recommendations for
foundations, site surfacing/fill materials, and roadway fill.

Any differences between the final
geotechnical report and the Geotechnical Report shall constitute a change
(increase or decrease) to the allowances set forth in Exhibit P.

To satisfy Final Completion,
Kiewit will provide all drawings and documentation to Owner in both hard copy
and electronic format.  ***.  All drawings shall be provided electronically
in AutoCAD format.  .

Up to Final Completion, all
document submittals will be electronic via the Centric system.

1.5                                 Operating Conditions Evaluation

Kiewit shall submit during
design, to the Owner, process flow diagrams demonstrating that the major
equipment and auxiliary equipment are designed to meet the Plant guarantees and
the Plant requirements.

2.0                               MECHANICAL DESIGN

2.1                                 General Requirements

2.1.1                        Quality of Materials and Equipment

All materials and equipment furnished shall be new or unused,
undamaged, and of a current model when purchased for the Plant.

2.1.2                        Access

Access shall be provided for systems and equipment as defined in the
Access Matrix below.  Walkways will not
be provided in pipe rack for the facility. 
Certain valves for the facility will require installation in the rack
and will not be able to be located by engineer for easy access due to process
requirements.  These valves will be
provided with adequate space around the valve to remove the valve if
required.  Access to valves that have
such process driven constraints shall be by a temporary rolling ladder.  Other valves will be located for ease of
access per the matrix below.  All manual
valves installed in pipe rack shall have chain wheel actuators.

The following descriptions and matrix define the standard access
provisions included in the proposal:

Type 1:  Room will be provided around the
item to allow temporary access by way of an owner provided personnel lift, step
ladder, scaffolding, scissor lift, etc. 
No permanent platform or ladder will be provided.  Level indicators and gauges will be located
and displays sized so they can be read.

Type 2:  Access to be provided by
platform near item.  Does not have a
dedicated platform since items in this category have the ability to be routed
to other platforms nearby.

 36
 

Type 3:  Requires a dedicated platform
if the item is not accessible from grade and requires daily maintenance or
visual inspection.

Basis:

1.               The matrix below reflects a normal operating
plant as a base loaded facility.

2.               Equipment is expected to require normal
maintenance as required by the O&M manuals and not require early
replacement.

3.               The access defined reflects operations and
maintenance requirements only.  (Construction
requirements excluded.)

Exhibit C Performance Test Protocols

EXHIBIT C

PERFORMANCE TEST PROTOCOLS

1.             Performance Test Protocols

1.1           Pre-Test
Preparation

1.1.1        Prior to the
PERFORMANCE TEST, the Plant must have reached Mechanical Completion.  In addition, the OWNER must have run the
Plant at or near design rate consistently for a period of ***, as evidenced by
Plant operational data provided to KIEWIT by OWNER, before the PERFORMANCE TEST
is initiated. This *** operating period may be reduced or waived upon the
agreement of the KIEWIT Test Coordinator and the Owner Representative.  Before commencement of PERFORMANCE TEST,
KIEWIT shall notify OWNER in writing at least *** prior to planned commencement
of the PERFORMANCE TEST that all pre-test conditions have been satisfied,
including the following:

·              Adequate and
competent supervision, personnel and resources for effective operation,
maintenance and performance analysis of the Plant, including laboratory
analysis, temporary meters or other measuring devices and instrumentation
specified as to accuracy and reproducibility by KIEWIT in advance of the
PERFORMANCE TEST required to conduct and evaluate the PERFORMANCE TEST shall
have been furnished.  The Plant shall be
operated and maintained in accordance with the technical advice and instruction
from the Operations Manual and on-site directives from KIEWIT, and otherwise
within generally accepted practices within the fuel ethanol industry.

·              The Plant,
its machinery, equipment, instrumentation and piping, shall all be clean
lubricated where appropriate, leak tight, and ready to operate according to
design specifications.  All systems and
appropriate checkouts and calibrations shall have been completed and documented
by responsible Plant technicians, contractors, and/or vendors.  Analytical and any special test equipment and
reagents will have been calibrated and made accurate.

·              Cleaning
(CIP) of the process equipment has been accomplished *** or less before the
PERFORMANCE TEST per KIEWIT direction and standard procedures set out in the
KIEWIT Operations Manual. This requirement to CIP within *** may be reduced or
waived upon the agreement of the KIEWIT Test Coordinator and the Owner
Representative.  All ingredients and
supplies required to complete the test are on hand.  This includes, but is not limited to,
feedstock of corn (meeting specifications listed in Article 7 Section 1.2)
supplied in stable quantities sufficient to support Plant operation at a rate up
to *** of the guaranteed fuel ethanol production rate, as well as sufficient
steam, water, stable permanent power, and other utilities, enzymes, chemicals,
and other ingredients of the type specified by KIEWIT in the Operations Manual
and supplies to support Plant operation at a rate up to *** the guaranteed fuel
ethanol production rate.

·              Adequate
operation, analytical, and maintenance support shall be scheduled for the test
period.

1.2           Coordination

1.2.1        KIEWIT shall
coordinate the PERFORMANCE TEST with OWNER during the *** PERFORMANCE TEST period.  This coordination of the PERFORMANCE TEST
activities will be handled by a KIEWIT Representative designated to serve as
KIEWIT’s Test Coordinator (“Test Coordinator”). 
The Test Coordinator will work with an individual designated by the
OWNER to be its Representative for the PERFORMANCE TEST to set the test
schedule and to coordinate operations during the test period. KIEWIT will also
assign KIEWIT Shift Coordinators to support the operation during the test
period.

1.2.2        OWNER shall
supply, or cause to be supplied, all feedstock, utilities and other supplies
and services required to conduct the PERFORMANCE TEST, as specified under
Section 1.1.1 above, throughout the entire Plant during all PERFORMANCE TESTS.

1.2.3        OWNER shall
direct its personnel in the operation of the Plant in a manner consistent with
the operating parameters provided in the Operations Manual.  Owner’s personnel shall be under the
direction of Kiewit.

1.3           Conducting
the Test

1.3.1        The KIEWIT
Test Coordinator shall be provided with operating data by the OWNER sufficient
to verify that the Plant is operating at a condition suitable for initiation of
the PERFORMANCE TEST.  At the scheduled
start time of the PERFORMANCE TEST, the KIEWIT Test Coordinator will signal
that the test has formally begun and will direct operators to take the initial
test measurements. The test will be conducted over a *** period of
operation.  During the Test period, the
Plant shall be operated by the OWNER in compliance with the KIEWIT Operations
Manual and instructions provided by KIEWIT, including, without limitation,
adjustments in temperatures, pressures, feedstock rates, steam flow, and other
process control inputs, provided these adjustments do not result in unsafe
operating conditions.  Plant operators will
monitor and record operating data according to standard procedures and in
addition will record the supplemental data specified in this protocol on data
sheets in the form to be provided by KIEWIT. 
Records will be developed from permanent Plant equipment that is
calibrated immediately prior to test. 
All test measurements will be reviewed by the Test Coordinator (or a
designated Representative) and OWNER.  If
the Test Coordinator or the Owner Representative believes that there might be a
problem with the measurement method or reading, the reading will be retaken and
verified by the Test Coordinator and OWNER’S Representative. Immediately upon
the conclusion of the PERFORMANCE TEST, the Test Coordinator will meet with
Representatives of OWNER to review the test results.  KIEWIT and OWNER shall each be given a copy
of the test results.  If the Performance
Guarantees have been met, then OWNER shall promptly issue a notice to KIEWIT to
such effect.  If the PERFORMANCE TESTS
have not been met, then OWNER shall issue a written notice to KIEWIT within ***
of completion of the PERFORMANCE TESTS indicating in what manner such
Performance Guarantees have not been successfully completed.

1.3.2        If the ***
test period is interrupted for any reason within KIEWIT’s control or OWNER’S
control, a new *** test period will resume after the cause for the interruption
has been corrected and the Plant has achieved an acceptable operating capacity
at substantially the same rate immediately prior to the interruption.  KIEWIT and OWNER shall stop the PERFORMANCE
TEST if it becomes obvious that it cannot be carried to a 

 2
 

satisfactory
conclusion in the current attempt.  If
the PERFORMANCE TEST has been interrupted for reasons not attributable to  KIEWIT, and continues to be interrupted such
that KIEWIT has spent a cumulative period of *** on site since the commencement
of the test, then OWNER shall compensate KIEWIT for the personnel that KIEWIT
has on site.  This compensation period
shall begin on the *** on site, and will continue until the completion of the
PERFORMANCE TEST.  This compensation will
cease should the inability to complete the PERFORMANCE TEST be the fault of
KIEWIT.  Compensation rates shall be at
Kiewit’s standard rates.

  METHOD:

  	
  Analyze samples according to ASTM D4806-06. The last
  test result before emptying day tank into main storage tank shall determine
  the quality for the batch. The average of all batch test results over the
  test period shall be used in determining the quality for the PERFORMANCE
  TEST. If required, a separate sample may be denatured with *** denaturant and
  the tests repeated to ensure ASTM D4806-06 is met.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
  If the fuel ethanol in the day tank does not meet
  the quality specifications of Article 7, KIEWIT has the discretion to send it
  on to the main storage tank (on the theory that the blended product in the
  main storage tank will meet the quality specifications) the average of all
  batch test results shall be used to establish the blended quality. If the
  blended fuel ethanol does not meet quality specifications as a result of
  below quality product measured in one or more day tank batches the volume of
  the batch(s) shall not be included in ethanol production “rate” quantities
  used in calculating liquidated damages.

  Undenatured Fuel Ethanol Production Rate

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  METHOD:

  	
  The day tank will be manually measured every *** to
  serve as the principal method of measurement of production volume, along with
  a final measurement of the day tank before the contents are sent to the main
  storage tank(s). In addition, flow totalizer readings will be taken from
  product meter or other measuring device mutually agreed upon between OWNER
  and KIEWIT at regular intervals as backup verification of the manual
  measurements. The total quantity of ethanol produced will be adjusted to a
  volume equivalent ethanol per ASTM D4806-06. Divide by the total number of
  test hours to determine the average rate over the test period

  Convert total undenatured ethanol volume from the Rate Test to weight at
  60oF. Divide the calculated mass quantity of undenatured ethanol by the
  calculated corn mass quantity of total starch fed over the time period to
  determine yield. In addition, this weigh belt total should be cross checked
  by totaling all corn receipts, subtracting all foreign material content, and
  taking into account the current corn bin volumes. OWNER and KIEWIT shall
  mutually agree on the method for the testing of dry fermentable solids.

Emissions

Testing
shall be performed in compliance with the stricter of all applicable
requirements of the USEPA and IDEM.

2.6           Calculation
Protocol

All
calculations will be based on actual measured data taken during the test
period.  For any given sample period, the
average value during that period will be determined by the average of the
measured data points for that sample period. 
The liquidated damages, if any, will be determined using the data
collected for each individual sample period and averaged over the PERFORMANCE
TEST period. All samples shall be taken in duplicate and OWNER and KIEWIT shall
each retain one sample.  OWNER shall
analyze one of the duplicates; the second shall be reserved for use in case of
a disagreement.  OWNER shall cause such
analyses to be conducted at the Plant during the PERFORMANCE TEST period and in
the presence of the Test Coordinator or such coordinator’s designee, and OWNER,
and Lender’s designated representative, if applicable, if they are present;
provided, however, if equipment for such testing is unavailable at the Plant
the sample will be sent to an outside laboratory reasonably acceptable to OWNER
and KIEWIT for analysis.  In case of
disagreement, a referee laboratory shall be selected by agreement between OWNER
and KIEWIT, and the cost of such referee laboratory shall be paid by the Party
or Parties not substantiated by the referee. 
The findings of this referee laboratory shall be accepted as final.

1.0      EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1      Purpose and Scope of Study

The purpose of this study was to explore the
subsurface conditions at the site and to develop recommendations to aid in the
design and construction of the proposed Ethanol Plant to be located at Mount Vernon,
Indiana. More specifically, our work included:

1.                         
Review of our previous assessments;

2.                         Site
reconnaissance by a Geotechnical Engineer;

3.                         Seventy-seven
(77) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings to explore the soil and groundwater conditions and to provide samples
of the subsurface materials;

4.                         Deep cores at two (2) locations to
characterize the shale and obtain samples of the same;

5.                         Observation of six (6) test pits to take into
account the macrostructure of the surficial clayey soils;

6.                         Performance of in-situ geophysical surveys
including thermal and electrical resistivity and shear wave velocity testing;

7.                         Laboratory tests conducted on samples
obtained from the borings to evaluate the classification and engineering
properties of the soil and bedrock; and

8.                         Engineering analyses of the field and
laboratory test data to develop recommendations to guide design of foundation,

1.2      Principal
Findings

·                            The
site is relatively flat with soft and wet ground surface conditions observed
during the field operations.

·                            The
geotechnical exploration reveals that the site is underlain by about 80 ft of
clayey soils in turn underlain by sandy soils to the top of shale bedrock
encountered about 130 ft below existing grade. The average groundwater depth
was about 1 to 2 ft below the ground surface.

·                            The
upper clayey soils are relatively low in strength allowing only lightly loaded
shallow foundations and mats to be designed for 2,000 pounds per square foot
(psf). Foundations should bear on an improved “crust” of lime stabilized soils.

·                            Fermentation,
beerwell and ethanol storage tanks may be supported on the clayey soils
provided vertical soil reinforcement (e.g., Geopiers) is incorporated in the
upper 20 to 25 ft of the deposit and 3 inches of total settlement can be
tolerated.

·                            The
substantial loads exerted by the grain silos will require deep foundation
support to reduce settlement. Deep foundations may include moderate capacity,
90 ft long auger cast piles or high capacity, steel H piles driven to bedrock.

·                            The
geophysical survey confirms that this site seismically is a Class D.

·                            Floor,
pavement and railroad areas should also be lime stabilized to facilitate
earthwork operations and better define earthwork costs prior to construction.

·                            The
high groundwater conditions encountered at the site are problematic and will
require site filling and/or subsurface drainage.

2.0      SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS

2.1      Site
Location and Topography

The site consists of Areas B and C totaling an
approximate area of 60 acres (see Figure 1).
The site is also bisected by Southwind Port Road. The site surface was fairly
flat with elevations generally in the 377 ft to 378 ft range. The site has been
used to grow crops.

2.2      Site
History

The site is currently occupied by the Indiana Port
Authority, which leases the site for cropland to a local farmer. According to
Mr. Bruce Willis of the Indiana Port Authority, the land has been utilized
solely for cropland since 1959. The site was previously utilized for a small
dirt runway for the municipal airport, dirt racetrack, and carnival on the
westernmost portion in addition to farmland for an unknown period in the 1940s
and 1950s, according to Mr. Bruce Willis. Prior to that, the site was used as
cropland.

2.3      Site
Conditions

2.3.1   Fall 2006

The fields contained fully grown corn prior to
harvesting. The borings were located so as to reduce intrusion into the corn
field and crop damage. Recent rains made the ground soft, but vehicles and
equipment were still capable of maneuvering. No visual or physical access to
interior portions of the field was possible due to the fully grown corn.

2.3.2   March 2007

The corn fields had been harvested leaving
approximately 6-inch high stubble in the fields. The fields were very soft and
yielding and had standing water over approximately 20 percent of the area from
recent rains. The majority of the area that had standing water was on the west
side of Southwind Port Road. Foot access was difficult due to soft ground
surface conditions even at drier areas of the site. Even after a week of
drying, four-wheel drive vehicles could not access the fields, though track
equipment could with difficulty on the northeast quadrant of the site.

 2-1
 

2.3.3   April 2007

The fields continued to have soft areas due to recent
rains, but tracked and four-wheel drive vehicles were able to maneuver in the
fields. Some areas (generally in the northeast portion of the site) had
desiccation cracking in the upper approximate 1 to 4 inches of soil.

2.4      Geologic
Setting

The site is located within the Wabash Lowland
physiographic province. The province is underlain primarily by sandstone and
shale of Pennsylvanian age and is characterized by broad, partly sediment
filled valleys and rounded hills.

Thick lake and river sediments and outwash deposits
overlie the bedrock in places. Along the Ohio River are broad, terraced
valley-fill sediments. Unconsolidated soils at this site consist of two
deposits, i.e., clayey overbank soils underlain by sandy valley train deposits.
This sequence is common in the locale based on published information regarding
the Atherton Formation. Overbank sediments are deposited on a valley floor
outside of the stream channel. Such waters usually contain much sediment in
suspension resulting in fine layers of clay/silt deposition. Valley train
deposits are stratified drift from meltwater-fed, braided and overloaded
streams, deposited within a confining valley.

In the area of Mount Vernon, Robinson (1977)1 maps the bedrock surface at an elevation of
approximately 250 ft msl. With a land surface elevation of about 380 ft msl,
this information suggests that the total thickness of unconsolidated soil is
about 130 ft in the locale.

Underlying bedrock is primarily the lower part of the
Pennsylvanian McCleansboro Group characterized by shale, sandstone, limestone,
and thin coal. A fault trends from southwest to northeast along the west side
of the prospective sites, beyond which bedrock is the middle part of the
McCleansboro Group also characterized by shale, sandstone, limestone, and thin
coal. Bedrock at deeper depths includes the Pennsylvanian Carbondale Group,
Racoon Creek Group, and Mississippian rocks of the Chester Age, the
Stephensport Group, West Baden Group, Blue

River Group, the Sanders Group, and the Borden Group.
These rocks consist of alternating sequences of limestone, siltstone, shale,
and sandstone (Gray, et al., 1970).2

2.5      Soil
Conditions

Our interpretation of the subsurface conditions is
based upon seventy-seven (77) drilled soil borings drilled, six (6) test pit
excavations, and two (2) rock cores advanced at the approximate locations shown
in Figure 2. Geophysical surveys
also included electrical/thermal resistivity and shear wave velocity testing.
Borings B-1 through B-4 and test pits TP-1 through TP-6 were located by pacing
from existing site features while borings B-5 through B-77, by our surveying
staff. All borings were drilled with all-terrain vehicle mounted equipment due
to very soft and wet ground surface conditions. The following discussion is
general; for more specific information, refer to the boring and test pit logs
presented in the Field Exploration Appendix and
the geological cross section shown in Figure
3.

The test pits, soil borings and rock cores extended to
a maximum depth of 148 ft below existing grade at the explored locations. In
general, topsoil, clayey soils, sandy soils and bedrock were encountered. The
following provides additional information concerning each of these strata.

·                            Topsoil
– This material was generally 6 to 12 inches thick (occasionally 18 inches
thick), and encountered in all the borings and test pits. It is typically
described as brown to dark brown clayey topsoil with organics. During test pit
excavation, minor desiccation was noted in the upper 1 to 4 inches of topsoil
during a period of dry weather.

·                            Clayey
Soils – Below the topsoil, clayey soils were encountered to an average depth of
approximately 80 ft below existing grade (elevation 300 ft ±). These are
believed to be overbank deposits from ancient floods along the Ohio River. The
clayey soils are typically brown to brown and gray in color occasionally
becoming all gray or bluish-gray and consisted of low plasticity silty clays
and lean clays. Layers of very loose to medium dense silts and clayey silts
were interbedded within the clay matrix along with traces of organic material
near the surface. The consistency of the silty/lean clays was generally

Wayne, and C.E. Wier, 1970. Geologic Map of the 1o x 2o Vincennes Quadrangle. Indiana Geological
Survey, Bloomington, Indiana.

 2-3
 

soft to stiff in the upper approximately 20 to 25 ft,
stiff to very stiff to about 60 ft and becoming mostly medium to stiff
thereafter. The unconfined compressive strength envelope shown in Figure 4 shows the lower end of this
general strength trend. Transitional soils including loose silty or clayey
sands were often encountered at the base of the deposit. The upper 4 to 5 ft of
clayey soils examined during excavation of test pits readily caved in small
portions. Within the test pits, the clayey soils below the depth of groundwater
infiltration readily caved in larger portions which caused difficulties
maintaining an open cut test pit.

·                            Sandy
soils – Below the clayey soils, sandy soils believed to be valley train
deposits were encountered. The sandy soils are generally described as brown to
grayish brown in color, fine to coarse in texture and loose/medium dense near
the surface becoming dense to very dense at the base. Variable amounts of silt
and clay were encountered within the sand matrix, generally becoming less
prevalent with depth.

·                            Bedrock
– Below the above described sandy soils at depths ranging from approximately
128 to 136 ft below existing grade, bedrock was encountered. Where cored, the
bedrock is described as dark gray clay shale. Standard Penetration Test
resistance values near the weathered bedrock surface ranged from 50 blows per 1
to 5 inches of split-spoon penetration indicating a very dense condition. Rock
quality designations ranged from about 24 to 30 percent indicating a very poor
to poor3 in-situ rock quality.

2.6      Groundwater
Conditions

Groundwater level readings obtained both during and
after drilling operations are noted on the boring logs. Water levels ranging
from approximately 0.4 to 5.7 ft were recorded after a waiting period of up to
51⁄2 weeks; however, the average was generally in the 1 to 2 ft range for all of
the borings that were drilled to varying depths (10 ft to 148 ft). This
indicates that the encountered soils are likely saturated throughout their
occurrence and little if any horizontal or vertical hydraulic gradients exist.

Purposes,” Felsmechanik and Ingenieurgeologie, 1, 1, 16-22.

 2-4
 

During test pit excavation, groundwater flowed into
the pits starting at about 4 to 6.5 ft below ground surface. The majority of
the water entered from the walls of the excavation, though some water was noted
coming up from the bottom of the test pits. The largest amounts of water tended
to enter through siltier portions of the clayey soils. Test pits generally
filled with about 1 to 2 ft of water in 20 minutes.

In clayey soils, relatively long periods of time are
usually required for the groundwater level to attain an equilibrium position in
the boreholes. Therefore, long-term monitoring may yield different results.
Additionally, seasonal fluctuations in the groundwater level may occur due to
variations in precipitation, evaporation, and surface water runoff. Shallower
water table conditions will likely occur during and after significant
precipitation. Groundwater should be expected to rise to near the ground
surface during the wet season and this should be assumed for design purposes.

2.7      Consolidation
Tests

Nine, one-dimensional consolidation tests were performed on relatively
undisturbed, 3 in. diameter, shelby samples of cohesive soils. The results of
each individual test are presented as plots of vertical strain versus logarithm
of vertical effective stress as shown in the Field
Exploration Appendix.

Maximum past consolidation pressures (Pc) were determined from these curves.
The test results are summarized below.

Preconsolidation pressures were typically higher in
the middle of the clayey soil deposit, decreasing towards the surface and base.
The preconsolidation pressure envelope shown in Figure 4 shows this general trend. The preconsolidation
pressure generally mirrors the unconfined compressive strength envelope and is
higher by an multiplier of about 2.3 to 3.5, which is considered normal for low
plasticity lean clays and silty clays.

2.8      Standard
Proctor and California Bearing Ratio Testing

tests were conducted on bulk samples obtained from within the proposed roadway
and railroad areas. The results are tabulated below:

The natural moisture contents are about 5 to 8 percent
higher than the optimum moisture contents which indicates that a substantial
drying effort (or lime modification) will be necessary to facilitate
compaction. We are currently running tests on a sample of the soil/lime mixture
to measure potential strength gain and improved soil characteristics.

3.0      PROJECT INFORMATION

We understand that the proposed development consists
of a 216-million gallon per year, dry mill Ethanol Plant (see Table 1 provided by Bibb & Associates
for more information regarding foundation parameters). Buildings are planned to
consist of one-story, high eave-height, steel-framed structures. Building column and wall loads
are not anticipated to exceed 100 kips and 4 kips per linear foot,
respectively (column loads for the boilers may reach 200 kips). Most of the
main building structures will have conventional interior slabs-on-grade with
individual foundations supporting equipment and tank loads. We expect the
interior slabs-on-grade will be subjected to a maximum floor load of 200 pounds
per square foot (psf), except for the DDG storage building where the floor load
may reach 1,200 psf.

Large storage silo/tanks are also planned. The tanks
are expected to consist of metal shells and floor with a concrete ringwall
foundation (relatively settlement insensitive) while the silos will likely be
slip-formed concrete cylinders supported on 2 to 3 ft thick,
octagonally-shaped, reinforced concrete mat slabs (fairly settlement
sensitive). The silo foundations typically extend about 6 to 10 ft below final
grade and incorporate below grade tunnels and pits.

The plant design grade is still unknown, but we would
expect that filling will be required to help alleviate problems associated with
the high groundwater conditions. Other improvements will include paved parking
and drive areas servicing the buildings. Allowable settlements specified by the
designer are no more than 2.5 inches total (raised to 3 inches at large tanks)
and 1 inch differential for tanks and silos, and 1 inch total and 1⁄2 inch
differential for buildings.

 3-1

4.0      DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS

4.1                  Basis

Our recommendations are based on data presented in
this report, which includes seventy-seven (77) widely-spaced soil borings, six
(6) test pits, two (2) rock cores and a geophysical survey. Subsurface
variations can exist on a site which may not be indicated by a dispersed
exploratory boring program. We have also discussed our findings with local
piling contractors, the Geopier Foundation Company and Dr. Safdar Gill,
P.E., of Ground Engineering Consultants, Inc. If such variations or unexpected
conditions are encountered during construction, or if the project information
is incorrect or changed, we should be informed immediately since the validity
of our recommendations may be affected. Refer to the Qualifications Appendix for additional Qualifications and
Contractual Considerations.

On projects with fairly weak soil conditions and
substantial loads such as those present at this site, discussions should
continue between the Geotechnical Engineer, designer and contractor. In
particular, as the design takes shape we can provide additional input on the
selected foundation system and feasibility of various construction procedures.

4.2                  General
Subsurface Assessment

Based on the results of field and laboratory testing,
the following generalizations can be made.

·                            The
upper approximate 20 ft of the clayey soil layer has relatively low strength
[design unconfined compressive strength (Qu)
envelope of 0.4 to 0.6 tsf]. These soils are capable of supporting relatively
light building loads of 200 kips (1 inch of allowable settlement), and mat
loads (2.5 inches allowable settlement) provided the upper surface is
strengthened with lime to form a firm “crust.” Footings (less than 10 ft
square) and tanks (less than 20 ft in diameter) may be designed for a maximum
net allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,000 psf, provided the surface is
adequately stabilized and the settlements can be tolerated.

·                            The
2,000 psf (1 tsf) bearing pressure will be attenuated by the lime stabilized
crust so that plastic yielding of the soft to medium stiff clays will be
reduced and the 1.4 tsf preconsolidation pressure (see Figure 4) will not be exceeded. Therefore,
settlements

 4-1
 

will be reduced. The lime stabilization cost can also
be defined with more certainty prior to construction (rather than random
undercutting).

·                            Foundation
soils beneath footings/tanks exerting contact pressures 2,000 psf or higher
will require additional improvement, likely vertical reinforcement such as
geopiers.

·                            The
fermentation, beerwell and ethanol storage tanks exert contact pressures of
4,000 psf, or 2 tsf. This pressure exceeds the design preconsolidation pressure
of 1.4 tsf from 0 to 20 ft; therefore, large settlements are predicted to occur
if this zone is not improved. Provided soil vertical reinforcement (e.g.,
Geopiers) is extended into the stiffer overconsolidated clays having
preconsolidation pressures exceeding 2 tsf (deemed the “upper zone”),
settlements are estimated not to exceed 3 inches total and 1 inch differential.
This settlement is estimated to take approximately 3 years to complete (the “end
of consolidation”).(5) Therefore,
long-term settlements of the deeper clays (deemed the “lower zone”) are
expected to occur relatively slowly and any necessary adjustments to piping
hookup could be made in a timely manner, provided adequate monitoring is
maintained. It is estimated that hydrotesting the tanks for a minimum period
two (2) weeks will fully consolidate the upper zone and cause some settlement
of the lower zone so that potentially one-half of the estimate settlement will
be precipitated.

·                            The
grain silos are 75 ft in diameter and exert a substantial contact pressure of
8,000 psf, or 4 tsf. Even considering geopier installation, over 5 inches of
settlement is estimated. Therefore, deep foundations are recommended.

·                            Medium
capacity, 18-inch diameter, 90 ft long auger cast piles and high capacity,
large section H-piles (HP 14x117) driven to bedrock (135 ft ±) can be designed
for allowable compression capacities of 100 and 300 tons, respectively. Pile
settlement for the auger cast pile is estimated to be about 1-1.5 inches (which
includes group effects) and the deep H-pile, about 1 inch. Due to the
geological conditions encountered at the site, we prefer the deeper driven pile
option.

More specific design recommendations for foundations,
floor slabs, piles and ancillary aspects of the project are provided in Sections 4.3 through 4.11 below.

4.3      Shallow
Foundations

4.3.1   General Building and Lightly Loaded Tank Foundations

In our opinion, the proposed ethanol plant building
structures and lightly loaded tanks can be supported on shallow foundations.
Foundations should be constructed in compliance with the recommendations for
site preparation, fill placement, and inspection that are discussed in Section  5.0
of this report.

Due to the weak nature of the encountered surficial
clayey soils, we recommend that Code L lime (or equivalent) be incorporated to
a depth of at least 16 inches into the soil below footings. Code L lime,
manufactured by the Mississippi Lime Company of St. Genevieve, MO, is commonly
used for soil stabilization in the area. We are currently running tests on a
sample of soil/lime mixture to measure potential strength gain and improved
soil characteristics.

In our opinion, a maximum net allowable soil bearing
pressure of 2,000 psf is achievable provided that the foundations bear on at
least 16 inches of lime stabilized soil overlying the natural clayey soils, or
on structural fill overlying the same. This value is that pressure which may be
transmitted to the foundation soil in excess of the final minimum surrounding
overburden pressure and may be increased by one-third when considering
temporary wind or seismic loading conditions. This pressure is valid for column
footing loads not exceeding 200 kips and width not exceeding 10 ft. Larger
footings or mat foundations (maximum width of 20 ft) may also be proportioned
for 2,000 psf provided a maximum total settlement of 21⁄2 inches is tolerable. If
this pressure or these widths are exceeded, then the installation of vertical
soil reinforcement (e.g., Geopiers) will become necessary.

We recommend that wall and column footings should be
at least 18 and 24 inches wide, respectively. In order to provide adequate
frost protection, we recommend locating perimeter footings in heated areas of
the structures at a depth of at least 1.5 ft below finished outside grade. In
non-heated areas of the structures, the foundations should be located at a
depth of at least 2.0 ft below finished grade. Interior footings in heated
areas can bear at nominal depths below the finished floor.

 4-3
 

In addition, each new foundation should be positioned
so it does not induce significant pressure on adjacent new or existing
foundations, otherwise the stress overlap must be considered in the design.

4.3.2   Fermentation, Beer Well and Ethanol Storage Tanks

The Geopier Foundation Company can design and construct a series of Geopiers
under the proposed tanks. Geopiers consist of columns of highly compacted
crushed rock which impart lateral stresses to the soil, thus reducing
post-construction settlement with the use of conventional concrete
ringwall/metal floor type foundations. Geopiers will be placed on a fairly
close grid spacing with a surficial bridging layer possibly consisting of
compacted stone or lime stabilized soil. The bottom of the Geopiers should
extend into stiff clayey soils below a depth of 20 ft having a minimum
unconfined compressive strength of 1.0 tsf. This strength value must be checked
by a representative of the Geotechnical Engineer during construction.
Furthermore, we recommend that the tanks be hydrotested for at least two weeks
and drained prior to production filling and pipe connecting. Total and
differential tank settlement is estimated not to exceed 3 inches and 1 inch,
respectively.

Mr. Aaron Gaul, P.E., Principal Engineer, is the
contact at the Geopier Foundation
Company. He can be contacted at (816) 421-4334. He can design and price the
Geopier system for the project.

Geopiers could be installed prior to placing new grade
raising fill or could be installed through new fill ultimately tipping in stiff
clayey soils. It should be recognized that stone columns or alternative ground
modification systems also may be possible at this site.

4.4      Piles

4.4.1   Pile Overview

The technology provider desires a 100-ton allowable
compression capacity. For this load, a medium capacity, 18-inch diameter, 90 ft
long auger cast pile was selected since it will most likely be a cost effective
pile for this load range. Shorter piles tipping above the sand will have low
capacity and will likely not be practical, especially for the heavily loaded
silo where the pile spacing will become crowded and possibly less than the
minimum 3B (B=diameter) required.

 4-4
 

In addition, since auger cast piles must penetrate
into the water bearing sand to exploit the bearing capacity at the pile tip,
there is the distinct possibility of a discontinuity occurring at the junction
of the clay/sand layer. In fact, past experience on another project with
similar geology has indicated that this discontinuity can indeed jeopardize the
integrity of the pile shaft. Therefore, the owner will bear more than normal
risk if this pile type is selected. Consequently, careful inspection and
thorough testing will be required during the installation phase. Unfortunately,
the high slenderness ratio (SR) of 60 (SR=D/B
where D=pile length) precludes the usefulness of economical low strain testing
so pile inspection and testing costs will be substantial.

High capacity, steel H piles driven to bedrock should
be considered for silo support. Available steel yield strength has now reached
50 kip/in2 leading to nearly 40 percent recent increase
in pile capacity. A 300-ton design load will also lead to a two-thirds decrease
in the number of piles. Pile driving records are maintained during installation
so each pile is in fact a “self tested” pile, leading to greater certainty with
respect to its actual capacity. In addition, H piles are low displacement
allowing quicker penetration than a displacement pile also reducing clay heave
around the pile. More specific details regarding design of auger cast and H
piles are provided in Sections 4.4.2  and 4.4.3
below, respectively.

4.4.2   Auger Cast

The following design parameters are recommended:

·                            Design
compression capacity = 100 tons

·                            Design
uplift capacity = 50 tons

·                            Design
lateral capacity for wide (12 ft) spacing (center to center) = 10 tons

·                            Design
lateral capacity for close (4.5 ft) spacing (center to center) = 4 tons

·                            Recommended
minimum spacing = 4.5 ft

·                            Pile
diameter = 18 in. nominal

·                            Pile
tip elevation = 288 ft

 4-5
 

·                            28-day
grout strength = 4,000 psi

We recommend that piles have a full length No. 10
reinforcement bar. When considering lateral loads, the variations of the shear
force, moment and deflection with depth are also shown in Appendix A. The pile should be adequately
reinforced to resist these loads. The estimated pile settlement is on the order
of 1 to 11⁄2 inches and includes group effects since deep sandy soils below the
pile tips will be impacted. Most of the settlement is expected to occur as the
loads are applied. Refer to Section 5.3 for
pile installation recommendations.

4.4.3   H Pile

The following design parameters are recommended:

·                            Design
compression capacity = 300 tons (see Driven print out in Appendix A)

·                            Design
uplift capacity = 200 tons

·                            Design
lateral capacity for wide (9 ft) spacing (center to center) = 5 tons

·                            Design
lateral capacity for close (3.5 ft) spacing (center to center) = 2.5 tons

·                            Recommend
minimum pile spacing = 3.5 ft

·                            H
pile section = HP 114 x17

·                            Minimum
steel yield strength (fy) = 50
kips/in.2

·                            Estimated
pile tip elevation = 240 ft

The design capacity will be obtained by driving the
piles through the overburden soils and then to a sufficient penetration and
resistance into shale bedrock. Tip protection is recommended. The actual pile
tip depth is expected to vary across the site and will be determined by the
Wave Equation analysis. Refer to Section 5.4 for
pile installation recommendations.

The estimated pile settlement is 1 inch. A group
action reduction factor is not required since the piles will bear on a very
strong formation. The majority of pile settlements should occur upon load
application.

 4-6
 

4.5      Floor Slab

The floor slab should be supported on a minimum 4-inch
thick, granular base course layer, bearing on a lime stabilized subgrade (refer
to Section 5.1), or on structural
fill overlying the same. In our opinion, the relatively clean, free-draining
granular base beneath the floor slab should contain no more than five percent
fines, by dry weight, passing a No. 200 U.S. Standard sieve. It is also our
opinion that the on-site soils within the anticipated excavation depths do not
meet this requirement. We also recommend that a plastic vapor barrier be placed
under the floor slab where moisture sensitive floor coverings will be used. The
floor slab should be structurally independent of the building columns and
walls, and should be liberally jointed. A modulus of subgrade reaction (k30) of 200 pounds per cubic inch
(pci) may be used for floor slab design (30- inch plate).

4.6      Below Grade Walls

4.6.1   Lateral Pressure on Below Grade Walls

Below grade walls must be designed to resist lateral
earth pressures. The magnitude of lateral earth pressure depends on the type of
backfill material, the method of backfill placement and compaction, the
drainage characteristics of the wall/backfill system and the degree to which
the wall is permitted to yield after placement of the backfill. We assume that
below grade walls will be essentially non-yielding and that a relatively
free-draining, (non-frost susceptible) granular soil will be placed as backfill
against the walls. We recommend that the lateral earth pressure be calculated
by assuming that the soil behaves as an equivalent fluid with a unit weight of
50 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). The method of pressure computation recommended
above presumes that there will be no hydrostatic pressure due to water buildup
against the wall. In addition, lateral pressures due to surface surcharge and
traffic loads adjacent to the walls (within a zone defined by a 45 degree slope
from the base of the wall) must be considered. A revised equivalent fluid
pressure, which includes the effects of these added loads, can be provided upon
request.

4.6.2   Groundwater Control

One way to permanently control the groundwater for
functional spaces extending below the groundwater table is to use perforated
pipes surrounded by a minimum of 6 inches of free- draining granular material
and an appropriate filter material (or fabric). These should be placed

 4-7
 

along the base of the foundation wall and under the
slab at regular intervals. The pipe invert should be at least 12 inches below
the base slab surface and should drain to a storm sewer or a sump pit from
which the water can be pumped. In general, this system is most effective in
fairly impervious soils at or above the ambient groundwater level. More than
normal pumping should be expected at this site where functional spaces extend
below the ground surface due to the high water table.

An optional method to handle the groundwater, if
permanent drainage is not provided, is to design the walls and base of the
functional spaces extending below the groundwater table to resist hydrostatic
pressures. Below the water table, we recommend that the lateral earth pressure
be calculated by assuming that the soil behaves as an equivalent fluid with a
unit weight of 90 pcf. Design concepts to resist hydrostatic uplift include,
but are not limited to, increasing the dead load of the foundation,
constructing a “lip” on the foundation base and installing soil or rock anchors
with uplift capacity. Such foundations should be waterproofed, utilizing
volclay panels or equivalent, and water stops, to repel water inflows.

4.7      Pavement

Note: The technology provider has yet to provide
design ESAL’s, so no pavement sections are provided yet.

4.7.1   General

Our recommendations are based on the assumption that
the paved areas will be constructed on a proof-rolled (or stabilized) subgrade
(see Section 5.1), or on
structural fill overlying the same. Our recommendations for asphaltic concrete
and Portland cement concrete pavement are presented in Sections 4.7.2 and 4.7.3, respectively. These guidelines have been
developed from the results of our geotechnical exploration using an assumed
medium traffic loading (considerable in-out movement, trucks in designated
areas only) and an assumed California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value of four.

4.7.2   Asphaltic Concrete Areas

Serviceable pavements can be achieved by different
combinations of materials and thicknesses, varied to provide roughly equivalent
strengths. Local practice for existing pavement construction could be reviewed
for other blends, or combinations of materials that have been

 4-8
 

found satisfactory, and for applicable minimum
standards. For pavements at this site, we provide the following guidelines.
Please note that the thicknesses listed below refer to compacted thicknesses.

Light duty pavement areas subjected to only passenger car and light
truck loadings:

1.           
      inches of combination surface and binder course;

2.           
      inches of dense-graded granular base course.

Heavy duty pavement areas subjected to heavy truck
loadings, but not truck standing or turnaround areas:

1.           
      inches of combination surface and binder course;

2.           
      inches of dense-graded granular base course.

When considering the above heavy duty pavement cross
section and an assumed CBR value of           ,
we estimated that an Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) of approximately                     
may be used for traffic intensity design for heavy duty pavement areas. If the
actual ESAL is higher than this, then increasing the pavement thickness will
likely become necessary.

We recommend that the base course consist of a
dense-graded, crushed aggregate material, such as No. 53 stone. The gradation
of this material is described in the Indiana Department of Transportation
(INDOT) specifications. The base course should be compacted to no less than 98
percent of its maximum standard Proctor density, or its equivalent relative
density. Further, suitable primer and tack coats should be placed between the
base course and between the overlying asphalt layers. In addition, all asphalt
material and paving operations should meet applicable specifications of the
Asphalt Institute and the INDOT specifications.

Structural fill should be compacted to a minimum of 98
percent of the standard Proctor density (ASTM D-698) in the upper 2 ft and to a
minimum of 95 percent of the same below this level. Structural fill in the top
2 ft should also not be frost susceptible.

Where standing water develops either on the pavement
surface, or within the base course layer, softening of the subgrade and
deterioration of the pavements may occur. Therefore, it is recommended that all
project pavements be designed with suitable drainage systems (e.g.,
underdrains). In addition, if clayey soils are to be used as grade raising
fill, we recommend that “finger” drains extend under the base course and
discharge into catch basins and/or manholes.

 4-9
 

The procedures we have used to develop our pavement guidelines are
consistent with generally accepted engineering practice and are intended to
provide a 20-year life span. However, based upon our past experience, we have
found that proper construction techniques, quality of drainage, pavement
maintenance and actual traffic loads are the major factors in determining
pavement life and performance. It is important that experienced technical
personnel observe construction activities to check that the pavement layers are
constructed as designed.

4.7.3   Portland
Cement Concrete Areas

Our experience has indicated that high quality, unreinforced concrete
placed on a compacted, minimum 4-inch thick, free-draining base course
overlying a stabilized subgrade (see Section
5.1) can provide long-term
performance as a rigid pavement system. Satisfactory performance and low
maintenance is highly dependent on adequate subgrade drainage and closely
spaced joints. A joint pattern not exceeding 15 ft by 15 ft is recommended for
unreinforced concrete.

Based on an assumed modulus of subgrade reaction of 200 pci, an assumed
28-day concrete compressive strength of 4,000 psi and ESAL not exceeding                 ,
a concrete pavement thickness of      inches is recommended
for heavy duty pavement. If the actual ESAL is higher than that stated above,
then increasing the concrete thickness will likely become necessary.

4.8      Seismic
Design

4.8.1   Site
Classification

A site classification is required for the calculation
of minimum earthquake design forces. The site classification is a function of
soil type (i.e., depth of soil and strata types) and depth to bedrock. The
follow up borings indicate the bedrock is on the order of 130 ft below the
existing grade. Based on the average property descriptions in Table 1613.5.2 of
the 2006 IBC along with the soil boring and geophysical results, in our
opinion, the soil conditions at this site most closely resemble the site
classification D.

4.8.2   Design Spectral Response Acceleration Parameters

The mapped spectral response acceleration coefficients
obtained from the USGS zip code earthquake ground hazard website for zip code
47620 are as follows:

0.2 second period: Ss = 0.91g

 4-10
 

1.0 second period: Ss =
0.25g

The site coefficients Fa =
1.14 and Fv = 1.9 were interpolated from the IBC 2006
Tables 1613.5.3(1) and 1613.5.3(2) as a function of the site classification and
mapped spectral response acceleration coefficients.

The design spectral response acceleration parameters
are as follows:

SDS = 0.69

SD1 = 0.32

Other earthquake resistant design parameters should be
applied consistent with the minimum requirements of the Indiana Building Code.

4.9      Foundation
Design Parameters

The following engineering parameters are recommended for foundation
design:

·                            Saturated
unit weight = 122 lbs/ft3

·                            Buoyant

·                            Coefficient
of sliding friction of concrete against soil = 0.33

·                            Coefficient
of active earth pressure (drained) = Ka = 0.33

·                            Coefficient
of earth pressure at rest (drained) = Ko = 0.5

·                            Coefficient
of passive earth pressure (drained) = Kp = 3.0

·                            Coefficient
of active earth pressure (undrained) = Ka = 1.0

·                            Coefficient
of earth pressure at rest (undrained) = Ko = 1.0

·                            Coefficient
of passive earth pressure (undrained) = Kp = 1.0

·                            Cohesion
(total stress) = c = 600 lbs/ft2

·                            Modulus
of subgrade reaction for footing up to 10 ft wide = K10’ = 15 pci

·                            Modulus
of subgrade reaction for footing or mat up to 20 ft wide = K20’ = 6 pci

The parameters indicated above are appropriate for the
low plasticity clayey soils encountered in the borings.

5.0      CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS

5.1      Site
Preparation

Structural areas, plus a minimum 5 ft margin beyond
the structure perimeter, should be initially prepared by stripping any
vegetation, the upper 6 to 12 inches of topsoil and all other unsuitable
materials (including unsuitable debris resulting from the demolition of
Southwind Port Road). Thereafter, the lime-stabilization should be implemented.
The recommended depth of improvement below foundations, floor slabs and
pavements shall be 16 inches.

After the lime-stabilized soils have been allowed to
cure for a minimum period of three (3) days, the surface should be proof-rolled
to check that the stabilization process was successful. Proof-rolling consists
of repeated passes of a loaded, rubber-tired vehicle such as a tandem-axle
dump-truck or scraper. The proof-rolling operations should be observed by the
soils geo-technician representing the Geotechnical Engineer of Weaver Boos and
the proof-rolling vehicle should be loaded as directed by him. Any areas judged
by the engineer to rut, pump, or deflect excessively should be undercut and
replaced with structural fill (see Section
5.5), or otherwise stabilized (e.g., using additional lime or
flyash, geotextile/geogrid reinforcement or bridging stone layers). The above
site preparation recommendations should be utilized for proposed pavement and
railroad track areas also.

Care should be exercised during the initial grading
and construction operations at the site. The combination of excess surface
moisture from precipitation ponding on the site and the traffic of heavy
equipment, including heavy compaction equipment, may create pumping and general
deterioration of the bearing capacities of the shallower soils. Further, the
clayey nature of some of the surficial soils combined with potential poor site
drainage and high water table make this site particularly susceptible to
subgrade deterioration. Thus, grading should be performed during the
dry-season, if at all possible. If such problems arise, the operations in the affected
areas should be halted pending an evaluation of the conditions by the
Geotechnical Engineer.

5.2      Foundation
Excavations

Geopiers should be installed where specified. Geopiers
shall tip into the stiff clayey soils encountered below an approximate depth of
approximately 20 ft and this must be checked by a representative of the
Geotechnical Engineer. Prior to placing concrete, all foundation subgrades
should be tested with a Static Cone Penetrometer (SCP) to check that an
adequate bearing

 5-1
 

capacity exists below the foundation bottom grade.
Excavation walls should be sloped (see Section
5.8), shielded or shored in accordance with current OSHA
requirements. Any weak soils should be undercut to depths determined by the
representative of the Geotechnical Engineer, and the cavity backfilled with
granular structural fill, or lean concrete, or the footing can bear at the
excavated depth. Where structural fill is installed to backfill foundation
undercuts, it should be granular in nature. Further, its limits should extend
laterally beyond all edges of the footings at least 6 inches per foot of
undercut depth below the foundation bottom grade.

5.3       Auger
Cast Pile

Eighteen-inch diameter, auger cast-in-place piles
shall be installed with a continuous-flight, hollow-stem auger that is rotated
to the tip penetration depth. The formed hole shall be pumped with
high-strength grout as the auger is withdrawn. Grout shall be pumped through
the auger and ejected at the bottom of the auger head while keeping the bottom
of the auger submerged in the mortar during the filling operation. A minimum
grout factor of 1.15 is recommended from the ground surface to 80 ft within the
clayey soils and 1.3 below (within the sandy soils). The grout factor is
obtained by dividing the quantity of grout place in the pile by the theoretical
neat volume of the pile. We also recommend a Pile Installation Recorder be
utilized for all piles. Reinforcing steel including a full depth No. 10 rebar
with an appropriate centering device shall be placed while the mortar is still
fluid.

The quality of auger cast piling is very sensitive to
the field operations. We therefore recommend that a representative of the
Geotechnical Engineer be present during the entire time that the pile
installation operation proceeds. In addition, high strain dynamic pile testing
of two piles per silo is recommended to verify pile capacity. We recommend that
two full-scale field compression load tests be specified. The final loads
exerted on the piles during compression tests should reach twice the design
load. We recommend that pile installation be in accordance by the “Guidelines,
Augered Cast-In-Place (ACIP) Pile Specifications,”(8) prepared with the Deep Foundation
Institute and presented in Appendix A.

(8) Augered Cast-In-Place Pile Manual,
Prepared by the Augered Cast-In-Place Pile Committee of the Deep Foundations
Institute, Hawthorne, NJ, Second Edition, 2003.

 5-2
 

5.4      Driven Piles

The pile driving hammer should have sufficient energy
to drive the piles through the existing overburden soils and then to sufficient
penetration and resistance into the shale bedrock. Upon selection of the
appropriate hammer size and model, we recommend that a Wave Equation analysis
be performed to confirm that the selected hammer, pile section, and soil
parameters are matched to provide the specified design capacity. Piles will
need to be driven to an ultimate capacity of twice the design load. The Wave
Equation analysis will establish the driving criteria, which will control the
pile tip elevation in terms of penetration resistance. Several test probe piles (at least one per silo) should be driven
around the site to obtain an indication of variability of pile tip elevation.

Several piles should be retapped at least one day
after driving (and after all immediate adjacent piles are driven) to check for
relaxation and loss of the pile capacity. We recommend that at least one
full-scale field compression load test be specified (the actual number will
depend upon the driving conditions experienced at the site). After successful
completion of the load testing program, the required number of production piles
may be ordered from the manufacturer.

We recommend that the Pile Driving Analyzer be
utilized to monitor the installation of the test load piles and the test probe
piles. The Pile Driving Analyzer will determine the condition of the driving
equipment and the efficiency of the drive train. This procedure will reduce
problems associated with faulty driving equipment and will reduce the
possibility of a pile load test failure. Considering the cost of pile load
tests, the use of the analyzer is strongly recommended.

We expect that piles will penetrate several feet into
the shale bedrock. Although not encountered in the borings, there may be
boulders in the natural soil. Therefore, the construction documents for this
portion of the project should include provisions for removing or displacing
(i.e., spudding) obstructions, or handling some local drift (e.g., driving
sister piles or redesigning pile caps).

The Geotechnical Engineer, or his authorized
representative, should be present at all times during installation of
foundation piling to observe that the piles are driven in accordance with the
specified driving criteria. Installation of piles should be conducted in
accordance with applicable codes and general accepted practice.

 5-3
 

5.5      Structural Fill

Structural fill, defined as any fill which will
support structural loads, should be free of organic material, have a plasticity
index less than 25, a maximum particle size of 3 inches, and a maximum dry
density in excess of 100 pounds per cubic foot, as determined by the standard
Proctor compaction test (ASTM D-698). Granular structural fill should have a
fines content not exceeding 5 percent and be free draining and non-frost
susceptible. Structural fill should be compacted to at least 95 to 98 percent
of its maximum standard Proctor dry density under floor slabs and foundations,
respectively.

For the clayey soils (designated as CL), the moisture
content should be within -2 to +3 percent of its optimum moisture content. In
addition, structural fill in pavement/railroad areas and backfill adjacent to
walls should not be frost susceptible. Topsoil containing less than six percent
organic material may be reused below roadways provided they are not placed
within 2 ft of the roadway base course and some settlement of the roadway
surface can be tolerated.

5.6      Fill Placement Control

To achieve the recommended compaction of structural
fill, we suggest that the fill be placed and compacted in layers not exceeding
9 inches in loose thickness. To monitor compliance with the recommended density
standards, we recommend that in-place density tests be performed at a frequency
of at least one test for every 2,500 to 5,000 sq ft of fill area for each lift
of compacted fill in structural and paved areas, respectively.

5.7      Groundwater Concerns

At the time of our exploration, the water table
appeared to be near or above the expected maximum excavation depth at the site.
While no serious dewatering problems are anticipated, some seepage into
excavations may be experienced, depending on the seasonal conditions. It is
anticipated that most seepage could be handled by conventional dewatering
methods such as pumping from sumps. However, where deep excavations extend
below water bearing sands for below grade tunnels and pits or any deep undercut
areas, a more extensive dewatering effort may become necessary.

 5-4
 

5.8      Slope Stability

Based on our analysis of in-situ soil conditions,
excavation slopes should be cut no steeper than 1.0H:1.0V in order to maintain
temporary stability of the excavation sides. However, OSHA requirements must be
met and may be more restrictive. Our slope value assumes that the dewatering
operation has lowered the water table to below the toe of the excavation slope.
In addition, we recommend that any surcharge fill or heavy equipment be kept at
least 5 ft away from the edge of the excavation. If a 1.0H:1.0V slope value
cannot be achieved due to site restrictions at the ground surface, then the
excavation sides should be shielded or shored as required.

Permanent slopes should be no steeper than 3.0H:1.0V.
A minimum building setback from the top of all slopes of 10 ft is recommended.
In pavement areas, a minimum top of slope setback of 5 ft is acceptable. For
erosion protection, a protective cover of grass or other vegetation should be
established on permanent soil slopes as soon as possible.

If fill is to be compacted on slopes steeper than
8.0H:1.0V (horizontal to vertical), special care must be taken to “tie-in” the
compacted fill with the slope. All new fill must be placed and compacted in
horizontal lifts and benched into the slope so that a continuous surface is not
left between the new fill and the natural soil. The benching can be done with a
dozer blade.

Notes:

(1)                     Cohesion
= uniaxial compressive strength for rock materials.

(2)                     Values
of E50 are reported for clay strata.

(3)                     Default
values will be generated for E50 when input values are 0.

(4)                     RQD and k_rm are reported only for weak
rock strata.

Notes:

(1)                     Cohesion
= uniaxial compressive strength for rock materials.

(2)                     Values
of E50 are reported for clay strata.

(3)                     Default
values will  be generated for E50 when
input values are 0.

(4)                     RQD and k_rm are reported only for weak
rock strata.

1.0  GENERAL

1.1      Scope

The Pile Contractor shall furnish all labor,
materials, tools and equipment necessary for furnishing, installing, and
testing Augered Cast-In-Place (ACIP) piles as shown on the Contract Drawings
and as specified herein.

1.2      Pile Contractor
Qualifications

The ACIP piles shall be installed by an experienced
Pile Contractor who, upon request of the Architect/Engineer, shall submit
evidence of successful ACIP pile installation under similar job and subsurface
conditions, including a job supervisor who shall have a minimum of five years
of method specific experience.

1.3      System Description

ACIP piles shall be constructed by rotating a
continuous-flight, hollow-shaft auger into the ground to the specified pile
depth, embedment into the bearing stratum, or until the specified refusal
criteria is satisfied. Grout shall then be injected through the auger shaft, as
the auger is withdrawn, to exert a positive upward grout pressure as well as a
positive lateral pressure on the soil surrounding the grout-filled pile hole.
The specified reinforcement is then typically installed to complete the pile
installation.

1.4      Site Conditions

a.                         The
Pile Contractor shall examine the areas and conditions under which piles are to
be installed and notify the General Contractor and/or Architect/Engineer in
writing of conditions detrimental to the proper and timely completion of the
work.

b.                        Protection:
Protect structures, underground utilities, and other construction from damage
caused by pile installation.

1.5      Submittals

1.5.1 Working
Drawings/Documents

Before commencing work, the Pile Contractor shall
submit the following for review/approval by the Architect/Engineer.

a.                         Description
of the pile drilling and grout pumping equipment to be utilized.

b.                        Proposed
pile grout mix design and descriptions of materials to be used. These
descriptions shall be sufficiently detailed to indicate compliance with the
specifications, and include either: 1) laboratory tests of trial mixes made
with the proposed materials, or 2) laboratory tests of the proposed mix used on
previous projects. Provide delivery

 1
 

tickets identifying product/name and/or mix code for
use in verifying material delivered in the field.

c.                         Proposed
pile reinforcement configuration and means, method, and sequence of
installation (if applicable). Include: method of centralizing reinforcement
within grouted shaft, type and size of device, and locations of reinforcement.

d.                        A
pile identification plan referencing the structural plans showing the location
and a numbering system to identify each individual pile.

e.                         If
pile load tests are specified, a dimensioned sketch of the loading arrangement,
including sizes of primary members, data on resting and measuring equipment
including required current jack, dial gauge, and/or load cell and monitoring
instrumentation calibrations. Include load testing methods, loading schedule
and duration.

f.                           If
specified for the project, a description of the proposed automated monitoring
equipment (AME) to measure and record drilling progress during the augering
phase, and incremental volume pumped during the grouting phase.

g.                        If
specified for the project, a description of the method of non-destructive
testing (NDT) to be performed on selected ACIP piles.

1.5.2   Records

a.                         Records
shall be kept for each pile installed. Such records shall include, at a
minimum: project name and number, Pile Contractor, pile location and design
pile capacity, pile diameter, tip elevation, drilling ground surface elevation,
total and incremental volume of grout placed, amount of water (if any) added to
the ready mix grout truck at the job site, pile reinforcing steel, and any
unusual occurrences during the pile installation.

b.                        Submit
copies of the installation record of each pile no later than the morning of the
next working day after the pile was placed. “Problem piles” should be reported
as soon as the problem is detected, whatever it is, so that the situation can
be immediately rectified and redrilling/regrouting or replacement piles can be
addressed.

c.                         Load
test reports shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable ASTM and/or
governing Code Standards.

c.                         Fluidifier
– Fluidifier shall increase the fluidity of the mixture and act as a water
reducing agent and retardant without adversely impacting the design compressive
strength of the grout mix.

d.                        Water
– Water shall be potable, fresh, clean, and free of sewage, oil, acid, alkali,
salts, organic matter, suspended solids, or other materials that may be
detrimental to the grout. Recycled/reclaimed water may be used provided its
inclusion and associated temperature does not adversely impact the design
compressive strength of the mix.

e.                         Fine
Aggregate – Sand utilized as fine aggregate shall meet the requirements of ASTM
C33.

f.                           Grout
Mixes – The grout shall consist of Portland cement, fine aggregate, and water,
and may also contain a mineral admixture and approved fluidifier. The
components shall be

 3
 

proportioned and mixed to produce a grout capable of
maintaining the solids in suspension and being efficiently pumped. These
materials shall be proportioned to produce a hardened grout which will achieve
the design strength within 28 days. The design 28-day grout strength for this
project shall be 3,000 lbs/in2. All materials shall be accurately measured as they are
fed to the mixer.

Time of mixing shall be not less than one minute at
the site. If agitated continuously, the grout may be held in the mixer or
agitator for a period not exceeding two and one-half hours at grout
temperatures below 70° F and for a period not exceeding two hours at
temperatures not exceeding 100° F. Grout shall not be placed when its
temperature falls below 40° F or exceeds 100° F, unless approved procedures for
cold or hot weather grouting are followed. Protect grout from physical damage
or reduced strength which could be caused by frost, freezing action, or low
temperature or from damage during high temperatures in accordance with ACI
305/306. When ambient outdoor temperatures exceed 95° F, a grout temperature of
up to 105° F may be allowed, provided the mixing time is reduced to 1 hour and
a set retarder is added to the mix.

The grout mix shall be sampled and tested using a set
of six (6) two inch cubes for each 50 yd3 of grout placed, or at least one set
for each day during which piles are placed. A set of samples shall be
taken/tested from each truck of grout delivered during indicator pile
installation. Two cubes shall be tested at 7 days, two cubes tested at 28 days,
and two cubes held in reserve. Cubes shall be cured and tested in accordance
with ASTM C109. Cube specimens shall be restrained from expansion as described
in ASTM C942.

g.                        Adding
Water to Grout On-Site – Adding water to the grout on-site is sometimes
necessary to provide a consistent grout mixture prior to pumping. The amount of
water that may be added to provide both consistent and adequate flow
characteristics must not compromise the specified grout strength or, if
specified, the water/cement ratio. The total amount of water required to
provide adequate flow may exceed the amount listed in the mix design. In this
case, the amount of added water should be recorded by the Testing Agency and
the Inspector, with samples taken for compression testing.

specified for the piles less a maximum of 3 percent. The auger cutting teeth
shall be regularly inspected for wear, and shall be replaced if the
above-specified reduction in diameter tolerance occurs.

The hole through which the grout is pumped into the
pile shall be located at the bottom of the auger head below the cutting teeth.

Augers over 40 ft in length shall contain a middle
guide.

The piling leads should be prevented from rotating by
a stabilizing arm, by firmly placing the bottom of the leads into the ground,
or by some other acceptable means. Leads shall be marked at one-foot intervals numbered
at least every 5 ft to facilitate measurement of auger penetration.

2.2.2 Mixing and Pumping
Equipment

Only approved mixing and pumping equipment shall be
used to prepare and handle the grout. A screen to remove oversize particles
shall be placed at the pump hopper or inlet. All oil and other rust inhibitors
shall be removed from mixing drums and grout pumps. All materials shall be
sufficient to produce a homogeneous grout of the desired consistency and

3.0  INSTALLATION

3.1      Pre-Construction Meeting

A pre-construction meeting shall be held prior to ACIP
pile installation equipment mobilization at the site. The meeting shall be
attended by the Owner, the Architect/Engineer, the Designer, the Geotechnical
Engineer, the Inspector, the grout testing agency, the General Contractor, and
the Pile Contractor. At the meeting, the ACIP pile installation means/methods,
inspection, acceptance/rejection procedures, and testing procedures shall be
discussed and formalized. Any supplemental or modified procedures agreed to at
the meeting shall be documented in writing and distributed to all attendees
prior to the start of work.

3.2      Indicator Piles

There are no indicator piles required for this
project.

3.3      Pile Load Tests

No load testing is required for this project.

3.4      Installation Procedure

3.4.1 Tolerance

Piles shall be located as shown on the drawings or as
otherwise directed by the Architect/Engineer. Pile centers shall be located to
an accuracy of ±3 inches. Vertical piles shall be plumb within two percent.
Piles shall be installed to within four percent of the specified incline (or “batter”)
as determined by the angle from horizontal.

 6
 

3.4.2 Lengths

The length and drilling criteria for production piles
will be determined by the Geotechnical Engineer based on his review of the
indicator/probe piles installation, reaction piles and/or test piles, and the
pile load tests.

3.4.3 Bottom Plug

The hole in the bottom of the hollow stem auger shall
be closed with a suitable plug to prevent soil intrusion into the stem while
being advanced into the ground. The plug shall be removed by grout pressure or
with the reinforcing bar.

3.4.4 Auger Rate

Advance the auger at a continuous rate to prevent
removal of excess soil. Stop advancement after reaching the required embedment
into the bearing strata or refusal criteria.

3.4.5 Refusal

Auger refusal is defined as a rate of auger penetration
of less than 1 foot per minute of drilling.

3.4.6 Expelling Bottom Plug

At the start of grout pumping, lift the auger 6 to 12
inches from the bottom to facilitate expelling the tip plug. The auger shall
then be lowered back down to the previously established tip elevation.

3.4.7 Grout Head/Ratio

Prior to raising the auger, a minimum theoretical
initial grout head of 5 ft shall be pumped. Positive rotation of the auger
shall be maintained at all times during placement of the grout. The rate of
grout injection and auger withdrawal shall be coordinated to maintain:  the minimum grout head at all times, and the
total grout volume of at least 125 percent of the theoretical volume for each
pile depth increment. After grout is flowing at the ground surface from the
auger flighting, the rate of grout injection and auger withdrawal shall be
coordinated so that there is at least 100 percent of the theoretical volume for
each subsequent depth increment. If grout pumping is interrupted for any
reason, or discontinued grout or slurry return at the ground surface is
observed, the Pile Contractor shall lower the auger at least 5 ft below the
level where the interruption occurred while continuously pumping grout. The
grout quantity shall be determined by counting pump strokes and using the
predetermined grout volume per pump stroke.

3.4.8 Redrilling

If less than the specified minimum grout factor is
placed in any 5-ft increment (at least until the grout head on the auger
flighting reaches the ground surface), the auger shall be lowered 5 ft or

 7
 

to the bottom of the pile if that is less, followed by
controlled auger withdrawal while maintaining grout injection.

3.4.9 Auger
Withdrawal/Rotation

Auger turning and hoisting equipment shall be provided
to enable the auger’s continuous rotation in a positive (clockwise) direction
while being withdrawn at a steady, continuous rate during grout pumping.

3.4.10 Spoils

The excess spoil that accumulates around the auger due
to the drilling process and grout injection shall be promptly cleared away.

3.4.11
Reinforcement

Pile reinforcement shall be installed immediately upon
completion of the grouting operation, and before the grout reaches its initial
set; single bars may be installed through the center of the hollow stem of
augers so fitted prior to grouting. The reinforcement shall be free of soil,
auger spoil, or other deleterious materials prior to insertion into the grouted
shafts. The reinforcement shall fall freely under its own weight to the
specified level within the shaft; vibration or pushing of the cage with
equipment shall not be undertaken unless permitted by the Architect/Engineer.

3.4.12 Adjacent
Piles

Adjacent piles with six pile diameters, center to
center, shall not be installed within 12 hours of each other.

3.5      Obstructions

If non-augerable material is encountered above the
desired tip elevation, such as cobbles, boulders, rock, metal, timbers or
debris which causes auger refusal (as defined in Paragraph 3.4.5, herein), the
pile shall be completed to the depth of the non-augerable material in
accordance with these specifications. The length of such short piles shall be
included in the total linear feet of pile for payment. If required by the
Architect/Engineer, additional adjacent piles shall be placed and the length of
these additional piles shall also be included in the total linear feet of piles
for payment.

3.6      Pile Completion

a.                         The
level of grout in completed piles shall be periodically inspected for
settlement. Should grout settlement occur, the pile may be filled with grout
provided any deleterious materials that may have accumulated on top of the
settling grout are completely removed. The level of grout should not be
permitted to settle below the groundwater

 8
 

level prior to initial set. Special attention should
be paid to inspecting the level of grout in a completed pile while installing
an adjacent pile.

b.                        Where
the pile cutoff is near or above the surrounding ground surface or above the
bottom of the excavation, sleeves or casing of the proper diameter at least 18
inches in length shall be placed around the pile tops. Removal of fluid grout
by dipping or any other means in a completed pile prior to the grout attaining
its initial set shall only be performed if approved by the Geotechnical
Engineer and if witnessed by the Inspector.

c.                         Cut
off the tops of piles, square with pile axis and at the elevations indicated by
removing fresh grout from the top of the pile or by cutting off hardened grout
down to final cutoff point at any time after initial set has occurred.

3.7      Post-Construction Testing

Completed piles or questionable piles may be specified
for post-construction non-destructive testing (NDT).

3.8      Pile Acceptance

The Architect/Engineer will evaluate the pile
installation data obtained by the Inspector, grout sampling/testing data
provided by the Testing Agency, and any supplemental information provided by
the Geotechnical Engineer and determine the acceptability of the completed
piles. The Architect/Engineer will notify the Pile Contractor if a pile is not
in conformance with the specifications.

4.0  PAYMENT

The base bid shall be for the total linear feet of
piles called for on the drawings and in the specifications.  Payment for increase or decrease in actual
total pile footage installed and increase or decrease in the number of piles
installed shall be in accordance with the respective unit prices in the
Contract.  Payment for changes in the
number of pile load tests shall be in accordance with the respective unit
prices in the Contract.

Re:                Results of a
Geophysical Investigation 

Proposed Mount Vernon Dry Mill Ethanol Plant

Mount Vernon, IN

Dear Mr. Coats:

Weaver
Boos Consultants, LLC (WBC) has prepared the following report
to document the procedures and findings from geophysical surveys performed at
the proposed Mount Vernon Dry Mill Ethanol Plant in Mount Vernon, Indiana. This
work was completed in general accordance with our Proposal No. P70129 dated
April 9, 2007, and was authorized by you on April 16, 2007. The scope of work
included ten electrical resistivity soundings, six test pits and thermal
resistivity tests, and one seismic survey to evaluate shear wave velocities
through the Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Wave (MASW) method.  Shear wave velocities were used to calculate
the shear moduli presented in our Final Geotechnical Exploration Report. The
results of our findings are presented below.

SOIL
RESISTIVITY SURVEYING

Soil resistivity
measurements were recorded at ten sounding locations as shown in Figure 1. Measurements were recorded using
a four-electrode Wenner array in general accordance with ASTM Standard G57-95a
(2001) “Standard Test Method for Field Measurement of Soil Resistvity Using the
Wenner Four Electrode Method” and IEEE No. 442-1981 “IEEE Guide for Measuring
Earth Resistivity, Ground Impedance, and Earth Surface Potentials of a Ground
System”. A STING R1 Resistivity Meter from Advanced Geosciences, Inc. was used
to record the data. Apparent resistivity values were calculated at a-spacings
of 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 ft as

designated by Bibb &
Associates. A minimum of three measurements were recorded at each a-spacing;
the value with lowest percent error is presented in Table 1. Electrodes were expanded in the direction of the
double-arrow shown in Figure 1.

THERMAL
RESISTIVITY TESTING

Soil thermal resistivity
tests were performed in general accordance with ANSI/IEEE Standard 442-1996 “Guide
to Soil Resistivity Measurements”. WBC used a KD2 Pro Portable Thermal
Properties Sensor to measure thermal resistivity in six test pits at the
locations shown in Figure 1. This
instrument is in compliance with the ANSI/IEEE standard and uses a
single-needle sensor to measure the thermal resistivity or conductivity of the
medium. A 10 cm needle was used for all measurements to conform to ASTM and
IEEE standards. Two measurements were recorded at a depth of 5 ft below ground
surface approximately 15 minutes apart to allow the needle to equilibrate
between readings. The needle sensor was inserted in a Styrofoam block between
measurements. Thermal conductivity (W/moC),
thermal resistivity (cmoC/W) and volumetric specific
heat (C) results are tabulated in Table 2.

MULTI-CHANNEL
ANALYSIS OF SURFACE WAVES (MASW)

Active and passive
surface wave techniques were used to determine shear wave velocity profiles
(Vs) along one seismic spread near the north end of the site (see Figure 1). Unlike former methods which
utilized a source and two receivers in three boreholes, testing with the MASW
method is performed at the surface, and relies on the dispersive character of
the Rayleigh waves. The “active” portion of data collection is similar to that
of seismic refraction. Surface waves are generated by a dynamic source, in this
case a sledge hammer and steel plate offset 20 ft from each end of the seismic
line. The various wavelengths of the surface waves were monitored by a
multi-channel seismograph and 24 receivers (4.5 Hz geophones) installed in the
ground at 5 ft intervals. Each record was recorded using a 1-second record with
1⁄2 millisecond sampling interval. The effective exploration depth of the active
test is estimated at one-half the spread length, or approximately 50 to 60 ft
below ground surface (bgs).

The “passive” portion of
the data collection essentially measures the ambient noise, i.e. surface waves
generated from passing traffic, wind, etc. Geophone spacing was increased to 10
ft, and record length was increased to 32 seconds with a 2-millisecond sampling
interval. The dispersion curve for the passive test is defined as the lower
envelope of the Rayleigh wave

energy, which represents greater depths. By integrating the active and
passive tests, the method is capable of exploring depths over 100 ft bgs.

Rayleigh wave velocity is
determined by the material properties (primarily shear wave velocity) of the
subsurface. The Rayleigh wave dispersion curve is obtained by a wavefield
transformation of the seismic field record, which effectively isolates the
surface wave energy from the body waves. The surface wave dispersion curve is
then modeled or inverted to obtain a shear wave velocity profile. For this
investigation, the program SurfSeis v.2.05 by the Kansas Geological Survey was
used to analyze the combined active and passive dataset. However, wild
variations observed in the near surface data were not considered realistic, and
as a result the data were also analyzed in the program SeisImager.

The dispersion curves and
shear wave velocity profiles created in both programs are presented in Figures 2 (SurfSeis) and 3 (SeisImager). The general trends and
layer boundaries of the interpreted results are generally consistent between
the two programs, with several important differences. For example, the shallow
data (0-20 ft ± bgs) on the SeisImager inversion (see Figure 3) are more realistic and are
therefore considered more reliable that those from SurfSeis. The dispersion
curve from SeisImager also permitted slightly deeper interpretation, and
appears to show the bedrock interface at approximately 121 ft bgs. Although the
trends on the two profiles are very similar, the magnitude of interpreted shear
wave velocities appears to be greater on the SurfSeis inversion. Despite these
differences, average shear wave velocities on both profiles is greater than 600
ft/second. Individual shear velocities for each interval are included on the
SurfSeis inversion (see Figure 2).
Average shear wave velocities were used to calculate the shear moduli, the
results of which are presented in our Final Geotechnical Exploration Report.

Exhibit E Mechanical Completion, Commissioning, Startup

Mt Vernon Ethanol

EXHIBIT E

MECHANICAL COMPLETION, COMMISSIONING, STARTUP

Definitions:

Mechanical Completion: 
The completion of construction activities essential to the safe and
proper operation of the Plant in accordance with the requirements of the
Contract, as more fully listed below to the extent necessary to permit:

(i)                                     safe and sound start-up and operation of
the Plant as a fully integrated system; and

(ii)                                  successful completion and conduct of the
commissioning tests.

but excluding correction of minor
non-operational matters such as painting, landscaping and nonessential
insulation. Nonessential insulation shall not include any insulation needed for
personnel safety, any insulation that materially and negatively impacts the
process or any outdoor process piping insulation required for freeze
protection.

Irrespective of the following, Mechanical
Completion shall be deemed to have occurred in the event feedstock has been introduced
into the process and ethanol has been produced.

Commissioning:  The
checking, testing and preparation of the Plant for operation, functional
control loop checking, interlock testing, system purging and utility system
startups, as more fully listed below.  In
general, the tasks required for taking the Plant from Mechanical Completion and
making it ready for start-up.

Ready for Startup:  When
the activities listed for Mechanical Completion and Commissioning have occurred
and the Plant is ready to mill corn at the hammer mills.  At that time, KIEWIT will notify OWNER that
the Plant is Ready for Startup.  All
paved roads must be completed before the Plant is ready for Startup.

Startup:  Startup
begins with the initial feed of raw material to the Plant, filling of Equipment
with operating material, startup and operation of individual process stages,
adjustment and optimization of operating conditions, optimization of control
loops, verification of startup, shutdown and partial load operations.  Utility system startups (unless integrated
with the processing portions of the Plant) are a part of the Commissioning
Phase.

Substantial Completion:  As defined
below.

These events may not occur at the same point in
time for all parts of the Plant.  Utility
systems needed for operation of the rest of the Plant may reach Mechanical
Completion, Commissioning and Startup before the main process parts of the
Plant.  Some processing areas of the
Plant or sub-systems of operating areas may reach Mechanical Completion and be
Commissioned and Started up before other parts of the Plant, for example, grain
receiving and storage may be completed and into operation, i.e., filled with
grain, prior to other parts of the Plant. 
Mechanical Completion, Commissioning and

 1
 

Startup shall not be deemed to occur, however,
until all portions of the Plant meet the requirements for each such stage.

The following lists indicate the
activities or events, which take place in each of the phases described.

PARENT GUARANTY

                                    ,
a                                    
corporation (“Owner”), and                                     ,
a                                     
company (“Contractor”) entered into a                                                        
agreement dated                                     ,
20     , (the “Agreement”).

WHEREAS, Owner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of                              ,
a                        
corporation (the “Guarantor”); and

WHEREAS, Guarantor will derive direct and indirect benefit
from Owner entering into the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, as a condition to Contractor’s entering into the
Agreement Contractor requires that Guarantor execute this Parent Guaranty

NOW THEREFORE, Guarantor agrees as follows:

1.                                       Guarantor irrevocably guarantees the full
and timely performance by Owner of all its obligations, terms, provisions,
conditions, and stipulations under the Agreement, as now or hereafter amended
(the “Obligations”), and hereby undertakes that if Owner shall in any respect
fail to pay, perform and observe all of the Obligations of the Agreement,
Guarantor shall (i) pay or perform or have paid or performed all Obligations as
required by the Agreement, without any requirement that Contractor first
proceed against Owner, and (ii) reimburse Contractor for any expenses incurred
in enforcing its rights under this Parent Guaranty against Guarantor, in each
case upon five (5) business days following Guarantor’s receipt of written
notice of Owner’s failure to pay or perform an Obligation, or an itemization of
such expenses incurred.  This Parent
Guaranty constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection.

2.                                       The obligations of Guarantor under this Parent
Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional obligations of Guarantor,
independent of the obligations of Owner, shall not be subject to any
counterclaim, set-off, deduction, diminution, abatement, recoupment,
suspension, deferment, reduction or defense based upon any claim Guarantor may
have against Owner.  To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law this Parent Guaranty shall remain in full
force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in
any way affected by:

(a)                                  any termination, amendment or modification of or
deletion from or addition to or other change in the Agreement or any other
instrument or agreement applicable to any of the parties to the Agreement;

(b)                                 any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, assignment for the
benefit of creditors, composition, receivership, conservatorship,
custodianship, liquidation, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings with respect to Owner, Guarantor, Contractor or any other person or
any of their respective

 1
 

properties or creditors, or any action taken by any trustee or receiver
or by any court in any such proceeding;

(c)                                  any
merger or consolidation of Owner or Guarantor into or with any other
corporation, or any sale, lease or transfer of any of the assets of Owner or
Guarantor to any other person;

(d)                                 any
change in the ownership of any interests of Owner or any change in the
relationship between Owner and Guarantor, or any termination of such
relationship;

(e)                                  any
failure of Owner to conform with any provision of the Agreement or any other
agreement; or

(f)                                    any
failure or delay on the part of Contractor to enforce any right under the
Agreement.

3.                                       The
Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law,

(a)                                  notice
of any of the matters referred to in Section 2;

(b)                                 notice to Guarantor of any breach or default with
respect to the Agreement or any other notice that may be required, by statute,
rule of law or otherwise, to preserve any rights of Contractor against the
Guarantor;

(c)                                  any
requirement to exhaust any remedies;

(d)                                 any
other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety or which might
otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor.

4.                                       This
Parent Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, to Contractor is
rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or must
otherwise be returned, refunded, repaid or restored by Contractor upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolu­tion, liquidation or reorganization of Owner or
Guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor
or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Owner or any substantial
part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been
made.

5.                                       Guarantor
agrees that any and all present and future debts or obligations of any nature
whether arising in connection herewith or otherwise of Owner to Guarantor are
subordinated to the claims of Contractor with respect to the Agreement.  Guarantor agrees to be bound by any findings
of fact or final award or judgment (rendered under arbitration or otherwise)
made against Owner under the Agreement, or any settlement reached by Contractor
and Owner.

6.                                       The
obligations of Guarantor set forth herein constitute the full recourse
obligations of Guarantor enforceable against it to the full extent of all its
assets and properties.

7.                                       This
Parent Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns.

8.                                       This
Parent Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in
accordance with the law of the State of New York.  Venue for any action to enforce this Parent
Guaranty shall be in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York.  Both parties to this Parent Guaranty waive
all rights to a trial by jury in any action arising out of or relating to the
Parent Guaranty.

9.                                       This
Parent Guaranty and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding
upon Guarantor and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of Contractor
and its successors and assigns. 
Guarantor shall not be permitted to assign or transfer any of its rights
or obligations under this Parent Guaranty, except pursuant to a merger or
consolidation in which (i) Guarantor is the survivor, or (ii) the surviving
entity, if not Guarantor, is organized under the laws of the United States or a
state thereof and explicitly assumes all obligations of Guarantor under this
Parent Guaranty.

10.                                 Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Parent Guaranty, Guarantor’s undertakings and
obligations hereunder with respect to the Agreement are derivative of and not
in excess of the Owner’s obligations under the Agreement and the Guarantor
retains all rights, claims, defenses, and limitations of liability possessed by
Owner under the terms of the Agreement or arising from the parties’ performance
or failure to perform thereunder and shall be entitled to assert any
contractual defenses that would have been available to the Owner under the
Agreement, except that no defense previously raised by Owner which has been
fully adjudicated, determined or settled in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement may be raised by Guarantor, and no cure period previously used by
Owner may be used or relied upon by Guarantor.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has caused this Parent Guaranty to be
signed in the name and on behalf of Guarantor by its authorized representative
as of this                 
day of                                      ,

PARENT GUARANTY

                                  ,
a                                  
corporation (“Contractor”), and                                         ,
a                                         
company (“Client”) entered into a                                                                                 
agreement dated                                         ,
20    , (the “Agreement”).

WHEREAS, Contractor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of                                   , a                                    corporation (the “Guarantor”); and

WHEREAS, Guarantor will derive direct and indirect benefit
from Contractor entering into the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, as a condition to Client’s entering into the
Agreement Client requires that Guarantor execute this Parent Guaranty.

NOW THEREFORE, Guarantor agrees as follows:

1.                                       Guarantor irrevocably guarantees the full
and timely performance by Contractor of all its obligations, terms, provisions,
conditions, and stipulations under the Agreement, as now or hereafter amended
(the “Obligations”), and hereby undertakes that if Contractor shall in any
respect fail to pay, perform and observe all of the Obligations of the
Agreement, Guarantor shall (i) pay or perform or have paid or performed all
Obligations as required by the Agreement, without any requirement that Client
first proceed against Contractor, and (ii) reimburse Client for any expenses
incurred in enforcing its rights under this Parent Guaranty against Guarantor,
in each case upon five (5) business days following Guarantor’s receipt of
written notice of Contractor’s failure to pay or perform an Obligation, or an
itemization of such expenses incurred. 
This Parent Guaranty constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not
of collection.

2.                                       The obligations of Guarantor under this Parent
Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional obligations of Guarantor,
independent of the obligations of Contractor, shall not be subject to any
counterclaim, set-off, deduction, diminution, abatement, recoupment,
suspension, deferment, reduction or defense based upon any claim Guarantor may
have against Contractor.  To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law this Parent Guaranty shall remain in full
force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in
any way affected by:

(a)                                  any termination, amendment or modification of or
deletion from or addition to or other change in the Agreement or any other
instrument or agreement applicable to any of the parties to the Agreement;

(b)                                 any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, assignment for the
benefit of creditors, composition, receivership, conservatorship,
custodianship, liquidation, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings
with respect to Contractor, Guarantor, Client or any other person or any of
their respective

 1
 

properties or creditors, or any action taken by any trustee or receiver
or by any court in any such proceeding;

(c)                                  any
merger or consolidation of Contractor or Guarantor into or with any other
corporation, or any sale, lease or transfer of any of the assets of Contractor
or Guarantor to any other person;

(d)                                 any
change in the ownership of any interests of Contractor or any change in the
relationship between Contractor and Guarantor, or any termination of such
relationship;

(e)                                  any
failure of Contractor to conform with any provision of the Agreement or any
other agreement; or

(f)                                    any
failure or delay on the part of Client to enforce any right under the Agreement.

3.                                       The
Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law,

(a)                                  notice
of any of the matters referred to in Section 2;

(b)                                 notice to Guarantor of any breach or default with
respect to the Agreement or any other notice that may be required, by statute,
rule of law or otherwise, to preserve any rights of Client against the
Guarantor;

(c)                                  any
requirement to exhaust any remedies;

(d)                                 any
other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety or which might
otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor.

4.                                       This
Parent Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, to Client is rescinded,
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or must otherwise be
returned, refunded, repaid or restored by Client upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, dissolu­tion, liquidation or reorganization of Contractor or
Guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor
or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Contractor or any
substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had
not been made.

5.                                       Guarantor
agrees that any and all present and future debts or obligations of any nature
whether arising in connection herewith or otherwise of Contractor to Guarantor
are subordinated to the claims of Client with respect to the Agreement.  Guarantor agrees to be bound by any findings
of fact or final award or judgment (rendered under arbitration or otherwise)
made against Contractor under the Agreement, or any settlement reached by
Client and Contractor.

6.                                       The
obligations of Guarantor set forth herein constitute the full recourse obligations
of Guarantor enforceable against it to the full extent of all its assets and
properties.

7.                                       This
Parent Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns.

8.                                       This
Parent Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in
accordance with the law of the State of New York.  Venue for any action to enforce this Parent
Guaranty shall be in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York.  Both parties to this Parent Guaranty waive
all rights to a trial by jury in any action arising out of or relating to the
Parent Guaranty.

9.                                       This
Parent Guaranty and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding
upon Guarantor and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of Client and
its successors and assigns.  Guarantor
shall not be permitted to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations
under this Parent Guaranty, except pursuant to a merger or consolidation in
which (i) Guarantor is the survivor, or (ii) the surviving entity, if not
Guarantor, is organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof
and explicitly assumes all obligations of Guarantor under this Parent Guaranty.

PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT

CONTRACTORS

A.        Policy

Aventine Renewable Energy, Inc. is committed to the prevention of
accidents and improving quality and
productivity related to Contractor work by providing a safe workplace that
protects Aventine and Contractor employees, the environment and the
general public.

Aventine shall promote an attitude of partnership,
cooperation, and communication with Contractors to enhance workplace
safety. Personal safety is a fundamental responsibility of both Aventine and
Contractor employees.

Aventine shall maintain the independent contractor status of its
Contractors and their Subcontractors. Aventine shall not dictate the manner and
means by which the Contractor performs its work, except where specified in the
written contract; and, whenever unsafe acts/unsafe
conditions pose an immediate threat to the safety or health of personnel;
and/or potential damage to Aventine property.

B.        Purpose

To establish a policy and procedure for providing Aventine employees
with guidance in developing site-specific rules and practices to improve the
safety and health performance of contractors
who perform work at Aventine.

To ensure that all Contractor personnel are informed of the known
potential fire, explosion, toxic release
hazards, and other serious safety hazards related to their work or the process.

To ensure that all Contractor personnel are aware of all applicable
Aventine safety rules and procedures
pertaining to their work site, including the facility’s emergency procedures.

This procedure applies to Aventine employees
responsible for Contractor selection, training, inspections and
assessments, and for Contractor work involving new construction projects, major
renovation, and repair/maintenance activities.

* Note: Repair/maintenance activities and incidental contractor work
that do not compromise the safety of personnel, facilities, and processes are
excluded. (E.g., janitorial and delivery services, etc.)

 1
 

C.        Approach

Contract employees must perform their work safely.
Considering that Contractors often perform very specialized and
potentially hazardous tasks, such as confined space entry activities and
non-routine repair activities; their work must be controlled while they are on
or near a process covered by PSM. A permit
system or work authorization system for these types of activities are required
for all affected employees. The use of a work authorization system keeps an
employer informed of contract employee activities. A well-run and
well-maintained process, where employee safety is fully recognized benefits all
of those who work in the facility whether they are employees of the employer or the contractor.

D.        Responsibilities

When selecting a contractor, the employer must obtain and evaluate
information regarding the contract employer’s safety performance and programs.
The employer also must inform contract employers of the known potential fire,
explosion, or toxic release hazards related to the contractor’s work and the
process. The employers must explain to contract employers the applicable
provisions of the emergency action plan; develop and implement safe work
practices to control the presence, entrance, and exit of contract employers and
contract employees in covered process areas; evaluate periodically the
performance of contract employers in fulfilling their obligations; and maintain
a contract employee injury and illness log related to the contractor’s work in the process areas.

E.        Program Elements

·         The Contractor and any personnel under his
jurisdiction shall continuously observe and enforce all applicable
governmental safety regulations and all safety rules and signs that may have
been or may be established by Aventine. Proper safety procedures and equipment
must be utilized and maintained at all times
for protection of all personnel and facilities.

·         Before
