         CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

         CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT dated
March 23, 2005 (the "AGREEMENT") by and between, Pacific Ethanol, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY") and ______________, an individual (the
"EXECUTIVE").

                                    RECITALS

         WHEREAS, Accessity Corp., a New York corporation ("ACCESSITY") has
entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT") by and
among Accessity; Pacific Ethanol, Inc., a California corporation ("PEI");
Kinergy Marketing, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company ("KINERGY");
ReEnergy, LLC, a California limited liability company ("REENERGY," and together
with PEI and Kinergy, the "ACQUIRED COMPANIES"); each of the shareholders of PEI
(collectively, the "PEI SHAREHOLDERS"); each of the holders of options or
warrants to acquire shares of common stock of PEI (collectively, the "PEI
WARRANTHOLDERS"); each of the limited liability company members of Kinergy
identified on the signature pages hereof (collectively, the "KINERGY Members");
each of the limited liability company members of ReEnergy identified on the
signature pages hereof (collectively, the "REENERGY MEMBERS"); and

         WHEREAS, immediately prior to the closing of the Share Exchange
Agreement, Accessity will merge with and into the Company; and

         WHEREAS, the Executives, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, are
transferring their respective interests in one or more of the Acquired Companies
in exchange for common stock shares of the Company; and

         WHEREAS, the Company wishes to protect the confidential information of
the Company and to protect against the Executive's skills, knowledge,
experience, ideas and influence for the benefit of a competitor of the Company.
Executive is willing to enter into an agreement to provide such protection to
the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows.

         1. CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION.

                  (a) Executive acknowledges that: the business manufacturing,
distributing, reselling and brokering Ethanol and/or other alternative fuels
(the "BUSINESS") is intensely competitive and Executive's former interest in one
or more of the Acquired Companies and/or the Executive's former and current
position with the Company has exposed, and will continue to expose the Executive
to knowledge of confidential information of the Company; the direct and indirect
disclosure of any such confidential information to existing or potential

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

competitors of the Company would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage
and would do damage, monetary or otherwise, to the Company's Business; and the
engaging by Executive in any of the activities prohibited by this Agreement may
constitute improper appropriation and/or use of such information and trade
secrets. Executive expressly acknowledges the trade secret status of the
confidential information and that the confidential information constitutes a
protectable business interest of the Company. Confidential information and trade
secrets include, but are not limited to, customer and client lists, price lists,
marketing and sales strategies and procedures, operational and equipment
techniques, business plans and systems, quality control procedures and systems,
special projects and technological research, including projects, research and
reports for any entity or client or any project, research, report or the like
concerning sales or manufacturing or new technology, employee compensation plans
and any other information relating thereto, and any other records, files,
drawings, inventions, discoveries, applications or processes which are not in
the public domain (all the foregoing shall be referred to herein as the
"CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION").

                  (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "COMPANY" shall
be construed to include the Company and its current and future subsidiaries and
affiliates engaged in the Business.

                  (c) From and after the Closing Date of the Share Exchange
Agreement (the "EFFECTIVE TIME"), Executive shall not, directly or indirectly,
whether individually, as a director, stockholder, owner, partner, employee,
principal or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, make known,
disclose, furnish, make available or utilize any of the confidential information
of the Company other than in the proper performance of the duties contemplated
thereafter, or as required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other
administrative or legislative body; PROVIDED THAT, prior to disclosing any of
the confidential information to a court or other administrative or legislative
body, Executive shall promptly notify the Company so that it may seek a
protective order or other appropriate remedy. Executive agrees to return all
confidential information, including all photocopies, extracts and summaries
thereof, and any such information stored electronically on tapes, computer disks
or in any other manner to the Company at any time upon request by the Company
and upon the termination of his engagement for any reason.

                  (d) From the Effective Time until the fifth anniversary of the
Effective Time (the "NON-COMPETITION Period"), Executive shall not engage in
Competition (as defined below) with the Company. For purposes of this Agreement,
"COMPETITION" by Executive shall mean Executive's engaging in, or otherwise
directly or indirectly being employed by or acting as a consultant or lender to,
or being a director, officer, employee, principal, licensor, trustee, broker,
agent, stockholder, member, owner, joint venturer or partner of, or permitting
his name to be used in connection with the activities of any other business or
organization which is engaged in the same business as the Business of the
Company as the same shall be constituted at any time on the date hereof;
PROVIDED THAT, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Executive to

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

(i) become the registered or beneficial owner of less than five percent (5%) of
any class of the capital stock of a competing corporation registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or (ii) be employed by an entity
that engages in the same business as the Business of the Company, so long as
Executive does not directly perform services for or work within a division or
business unit of such entity that engages in such business.

                  (e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during
the Non-Competition Period, Executive agrees that he will not, directly or
indirectly, for his benefit or for the benefit of any other person, firm or
entity, do any of the following:

                           (i) solicit from any customer doing business with the
Company business of the same or of a similar nature to the Business conducted
between the Company and such customer;

                           (ii) solicit the employment or services of any person
who during the Non-competition Period is employed by or a consultant to the
Company; or

                           (iii) make any statements or comments of a defamatory
or disparaging nature to third parties regarding the Company or its officers,
directors, personnel, products or services.

                  (f) Executive acknowledges that this Agreement is being
entered into in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, that Executive's agreement to the
terms set forth herein are a critical inducement to the entering into the Share
Exchange Agreement by the parties thereto, that the disclosure of the
Confidential Information by the Executive and/or breach of the non-solicitation
restrictions listed above are of a special and unique character, which gives
this Agreement a particular value to the Company, the loss of which may not be
reasonably or adequately compensated for by damages in an action at law, and
that a material breach by the Executive of any of the provisions contained
herein will cause the Company irreparable injury. Executive therefore agrees
that the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy, to
a temporary, preliminary and permanent injunction, without the necessity of
proving the inadequacy of monetary damages or the posting of any bond or
security, enjoining or restraining Executive from any such violation.

                  (g) Executive further acknowledges and agrees that due to the
uniqueness of the Confidential Information the Executive will possess, the
covenants set forth herein are reasonable and necessary for the protection of
the business and goodwill of the Company; and it is the intent of the parties
hereto that if in the opinion of any court of competent jurisdiction any
provision set forth in this Agreement is not reasonable in any respect, such
court shall have the right, power and authority to modify any and all such
provisions as to such court shall appear not unreasonable and to enforce the
remainder of this Agreement as so modified.

         2. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to its subject matter and merges and supersedes
all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of every kind and nature
between any of them and neither party shall be bound by any term or condition
other than as expressly set forth or provided for in this Agreement. This
Agreement may not be changed or modified nor may any of its provisions be
waived, except by an agreement in writing, signed by the parties hereto.

         3. WAIVER. The failure of any party to this Agreement to enforce any of
its terms, provisions or covenants shall not be construed as a waiver of the
same or of the right of such party to enforce the same. Waiver by any party
hereto of any breach or default by any other party of any term or provision of
this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach or default.

         4. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remainder of the Agreement shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Moreover, if any one or more of
the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be held to be excessively broad
as to duration, activity or subject, such provisions shall be construed by
limiting and reducing them so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent allowed
by applicable law.

         5. NOTICES. Any notice given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been given when delivered by messenger or courier service
