program payments for the farm year covered by this lease or any subsequent
year, and b) fails or refuses to comply with the terms and conditions of
this lease, and c) is terminated by the OWNER as the OPERATOR under this
lease for any reason, then the OPERATOR agrees to immediately return the

action for damages, performance, or other suitable remedy in a court of
competent jurisdiction.  Any waiver, or
failure by the OWNER to strictly enforce any provision of this agreement shall
not be deemed to restrict or limit the OWNER’S ability to strictly enforce said
provision at any time thereafter.

of OPERATOR:  The
insolvency of the OPERATOR, a receiver being appointed to take possession of

ENERGY
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT 

(Site Development and Operations)

The purpose of this
Agreement is to set forth the understanding and agreement between
U.S. Energy Services, Inc. (“U.S. Energy”) and Indiana Renewable
Fuels, LLC (“Client”) related to the provision of energy management services.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  Client is developing a 100 million gallon per
year ethanol plant (“Plant”) to be located in Northern Indiana.  The Plant will have approximately a 10 MW
peak usage in electricity and will have a thermal/heat load of approximately
9,000 MMBtu/day.  The fuel source for
Thermal/heat loads will be natural gas and landfill methane.

U.S. ENERGY RESPONSIBILITIES:  U.S. Energy will provide consulting and
energy management services for supplies of fuel (natural gas and landfill
methane) and electricity for the Plant. 
These services will be provided during the development of the project,
construction of the Plant (“Construction Period”), and after the Construction
Period when the Plant has been placed in service (“Completion Date”).  The Completion Date shall be determined when
the Plant begins producing ethanol. 
These services will be provided to Client upon request:

A.            Energy
Infrastructure Advisory Services during the Development/Construction Period

1.                                       Provide
an economic evaluation of using natural gas service for each site identified as
a potential location for the plant.

2.                                       Evaluate
the economics of taking methane gas service from an area landfill facility,
including required delivery facilities.

3.                                       Once
fuel source and site decisions are made, U.S. Energy will solicit service
proposals from qualified suppliers, evaluate such proposals, and make
recommendations to the Board regarding supplier selections.

4.                                       U.S. Energy
will participate in final service agreement negotiations, then during the
construction period insure contract compliance.

5.                                       Provide
advisory services to Client regarding electric pricing and service agreements.

a.                                       Analyze
the electric service proposals along with primary, secondary and generation
options and recommend an electric sourcing strategy and plan.  The plan may include a combination of
electric supplier agreement and/or installation of on-site generation.

 

b.                                      Negotiate
final electric service agreements that meet the pricing and reliability
requirements of Client, including options for third party access to electric
metering.

c.                                       Prepare
and implement a regulatory strategy, if required and if an alternative power
supplier is selected.  Any attorney fees
required for the specific purpose of obtaining regulatory approval for an
alternative power supplier, if any, will be over and above U.S. Energy’s
monthly fee herein, and must be pre-approved by Client.

6.                                       Evaluate
the proposed electric distribution infrastructure (substation) for reliability,
future growth potential and determination of the division of ownership of
facilities between the utility and the Plant.

7.                                       Investigate
economic development rates, utility grants, equipment rebates and other utility
programs that may be available.

U.S. Energy will
provide the following services at Client’s request:

1.                                       Provide
fuel information to minimize the cost of fuel purchased.  This will include acquiring multiple supply
quotes and reporting to Client the various supply index and fixed prices.  U.S. Energy will not take title to
Client fuel supplies, but will communicate supply prices and potential buying
strategies.

2.                                       Negotiate
with gas producers/marketers, landfill operators, pipelines, utilities, other
shippers, and suppliers to provide transportation, balancing, and supply
agreements that meet Client’s performance criteria at the lowest possible cost.

3.                                       Develop
and implement a price risk management plan that is consistent with Client’s
pricing objectives and risk profile.

4.                                       Provide
daily nominations to the suppliers, pipelines, landfill and other applicable
shippers for fuel deliveries to the Plant. 
This will include daily electronic confirmations to Client of all
nominations and shipments and actual daily usage.

5.                                       Provide
a consolidated monthly invoice to Client that reflects all applicable fuel and
electric energy costs.  U.S. Energy
will be responsible for reviewing, reconciling and paying all shipper, supplier
and utility invoices.

6.                                       Provide
a monthly usage report of electric energy consumption and costs.  Also, where applicable and available from the
utility, obtain monthly interval electric load data and provide monthly load
profile graphs.

7.                                       On-going
review and renegotiation of electric service costs, as required.  This may include:

 2
 

 

a.                                       Completing
and evaluating annual proposals to identify the most reliable and economic
third party electric energy supply.

b.                                      Identifying
new service tariffs or opportunities to renegotiate the service agreement to
provide lower costs.

c.                                       Identifying
on-site generation opportunities as market conditions change.

month-to-month after the initial term. 
This Agreement may be terminated by either party effective after the
initial term upon sixty (60) days prior written notice.  Client shall remain responsible for payment
and performance associated with any and all transportation, supply, and storage
transactions entered into by U.S. Energy and authorized by Client, prior
to termination.

FEES:  U.S. Energy’s fee for services described
above during the term of this Agreement shall be $3,500 per month, plus
pre-approved travel expenses.  Client may
defer payment on the invoiced amounts until financing for the plant has been
secured.  Deferred invoice amounts shall
not bear interest.  Plant financing shall
be deemed to be secured at the time Client and its project lender(s) actually
