                               TERM LOAN AGREEMENT
                (LYLES DIVERSIFIED, INC. -PACIFIC ETHANOL, INC.)

         THIS TERM LOAN AGREEMENT (the "LOAN AGREEMENT") is made effective as of
June 16,2003, by and between LYLES DIVERSIFIED, INC., a California corporation
(the "LENDER") and PACIFIC ETHANOL, INC., a California corporation (the
"BORROWER").

         A. Borrower has agreed to purchase certain real property consisting of
approximately 137 acres located in Madera County, California, on Avenue 12 about
four miles east of Highway 99 (the "REAL PROPERTY"). The Real Property is being
offered for sale by the trustee for the bankruptcy estate of Coast Grain
Company. The Real Property includes certain improvements and fixtures,
including, but not limited to, a grain storage and processing facility, an
office building, and two railroad sidings (the "EXISTING FACILITIES").

         B. Borrower intends to expand the Existing Facilities by constructing
an ethanol production facility on the Real Property (the "MADERA FACILITY").
Borrower also intends, at some future date, to construct a second ethanol
production facility in California (the "SECOND FACILITY"). Borrower has selected
W.M. Lyles Co. (the "BUILDER") as the general contractor for the Madera Facility
and the Second Facility. The Lender is the parent company of Builder. Borrower
and Builder intend to enter into a design-build construction contract for the
construction of the Madera Facility and, at a later date enter into a second
design-build construction contract for the Second Facility (the "DESIGN-BUILD
CONTRACT").

         C. Borrower requires financing to complete its acquisition of the Real
Property and Lender has agreed to loan monies and/or extend other financial
accommodations to Borrower against the security of the Real Property, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms and conditions
contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.       FACILITIES

         1.1 THE TERM LOAN. Lender agrees to make a term loan to Borrower in the
amount of $5,l00,000.00. The credit facility described in this Section shall be
referred to below as the "TERM LOAN". The Borrower will pay interest on all
amounts owing under the Term loan until payment in full of any principal
outstanding thereunder.

         1.2 INITIAL ADVANCE; DEPOSIT. On March 24,2003 Lender made an initial
advance to Borrower under the Term Loan in the principal amount of $510,000.00,
which Borrower used as a good-faith deposit for the purchase of the Real
Property (the "DEPOSIT"). Interest will accrue from March 24,2003 on the
principal amount of the Deposit, at the rates indicated in Paragraph 1.3 of this
Loan Agreement.

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

         1.3 REPAYMENT TERMS.

                  (a) INTEREST RATE. Interest under the Term Loan will accrue at
the following rates:

                           (i) A rate of five percent (5.00%) per annum through
June 19, 2004.

                           (ii) A rate per annum equal to the "WALL STREET
JOURNAL PRIME RATE" (as defined in Section 1.2(b)) plus two percentage points
(2.00%) from June 20,2004 until the Maturity Date (as defined in Section
1.3(d)).

                  (b) DEFINITION OF WALL STREET JOURNAL PRIME RATE. The "WALL
STREET JOURNAL PRIME RATE" for any day is a fluctuating rate of interest equal
to the highest rate published from time to time in the "MONEY RATES" section of
The Wall Street Journal as the Prime Rate for such day (or, if such source is
not available, such alternate source as determined by the Lender).

                  (c) COMPUTATION AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST. Interest shall be
based on a 365 day year and compounded monthly. Interest shall be paid monthly
commencing on June 20,3004, and continuing on the twentieth (20th) day of each
month thereafter. If interest is not paid as it becomes due, it may be added to,
become and be treated as a part of the principal, and shall thereafter bear like
interest.

                  (d) PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS/MATURITY DATE. One third of the
principal outstanding on June 20,2006 shall be paid on that date. Half of the
principal outstanding on June 20, 2007 shall be paid on that date. All remaining
outstanding principal, together with any accrued interest thereon, shall be due
and payable on June 20,2008, (the "MATURITY DATE").

                  (e) ADDITIONAL PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS. Borrower shall be rewired
to prepay the principal owing under the Term Loan in the following
circumstances:

                           (i) should the construction cost for the Madera
Facility to be constructed on the Real Property be less than $42.6 million then
Borrower shall promptly pay lender the difference between the actual
construction cost and $42.6 million: and

                           (ii) should Borrower obtain construction funding for
the Second Facility Borrower shall promptly pay Lender all principal and accrued
interest then outstanding.

                  1.4 PREPAYMENT. Borrower may prepay any amount owing under the
Term Loan, in whole or in part, at any time and without penalty, provided,
however, that any partial prepayment shall first be applied, at Lender's option,
to accrued and unpaid interest and next to the outstanding principal balance.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

                  1.5 RIGHT TO CONVERT DEBT TO COMMON STOCK. Lender shall have
the right to convert up to $1,500,000 of the principal owing to common shares of
Borrower. Any principal converted shall be considered paid on the date of
conversion and shall cease to accrue interest as of that date. The conversion of
debt to stock shall occur by Lender purchasing up to a total of $1,500,000 worth
of common shares at the fixed price of One 501100 Dollars ($1.50) per share.
Lender may purchase shares under this conversion right up to and including March
31, 2005. Lender shall have no right pursuant to this Agreement to convert debt
to stock ownership following that date. The expiration date for the right to
convert debt to stock ownership cannot be extended irrespective of any
performance, or lack of performance, of Borrower under the Loan Documents. If
Borrower intends to prepay the principal prior to March 31,2005, Lender shall
have the option to exercise its right to convert debt to common stock (as of the
date of the proposed prepayment) in lieu of accepting the prepayment.

                  1.6 PAYMENT. If any payment required to be made by Borrower
hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day (as defined
below), the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during
such extension. Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the
United States of America in same day funds at any place that Lender may, from
time to time, in writing designate. "BUSINESS DAY" shall mean a day, other than
a Saturday or Sunday, on which commercial Lenders are open for business in
California.

                  1.7 DEFAULT RATE. If any amount owing under the Term Loan is
not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise,
will bear interest from the date on which that amount is due until the amount is
paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate which is two percent (2.00%) in
excess of the rate or rates then in effect (the "DEFAULT RATE").

                  1.8 LATE PAYMENT. In addition to any other rights Lender may
have hereunder, if any payment of principal or interest, or any portion thereof,
under this Loan Agreement is not paid in accordance with the terms herein, a
late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of such past due payment may be
assessed and shall be immediately payable.

2.       COLLATERAL, SUBORDINATION AND GUARANTY

                  2.1 REAL PROPERTY SECURITY. Borrower agrees to execute and
deliver to Lender a deed of trust dated concurrently with this Loan Agreement
(the "DEED OF TRUST") granting to Lender a first lien security interest on Real
Property (the "COLLATERAL"), to secure the payment and performance of the
obligations hereunder.

                  2.2 SUBORDINATION TO FINANCING. Lender agrees to execute and
deliver to Borrower a subordination of Lender's security interest in the
Collateral to the subsequent deed(s) of trust executed by Borrower to secure the
financing necessary for the construction of the Madera Facility. The form and
terms of the subordination shall be reasonably acceptable to the lender(s) that
finance the Madera Facility construction.

                  2.3 GUARANTY. The obligations of Borrower under this Loan
Agreement ("OBLIGATIONS") shall be secured by the continuing guaranty (the
"GUARANTY") of William L. Jones, Chairman of the Board of Borrower. The Guaranty
shall be limited to an amount equal to fifty percent of principal and interest
outstanding under the Term Loan, and shall be further limited to a total amount
not to exceed $1,000,000.00.

<PAGE>

                  2.4 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION. As additional consideration,
Borrower agrees that Lender will be engaged at the appropriate time, on mutually
acceptable terms substantially similar to the Design-Build Contract for the
Madera Facility, on a Design-Build Contract for the Second Facility irrespective
of whether the Loan is repaid at the time Borrower is prepared to contract for
the design and construction of that facility.
