      Cash Collateral Lender’s Postpetition Security Interest shall be subject
      to payment of the Limited Carve-Out not to exceed $75,000 (the “Limited Carve-Out”). The

      the entry of an appropriate order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtor
      shall be entitled to use the Cash Collateral to pay the allowed fees and
      expenses of Professionals, except to the extent such fees and expenses are
      incurred in prosecuting claims against the Prepetition Lenders or any in
      seeking to invalidate, challenge, dispute, avoid, subordinate, hinder,
      delay or otherwise attempt to prevent the enforcement by the Prepetition
      Lenders of its claims or liens or realization upon the

      Maturity Date if no acceptable Plan has been filed and no sales motion has

      and postpetition costs and expenses of the Prepetition Lenders, including,
      without limitation, all legal fees, consultant fees, appraisal fees,
      financial advisor fees, and other similar fees, and all such fees and
      expenses incurred in connection with the pre-petition negotiations with
      Debtor, the negotiation and preparation of the Cash Collateral Documents
      and in the handling of all matters in this bankruptcy proceeding and any
      subsequent Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 proceedings, including, without
      limitation, the attorneys’ fees in any way arising from or in connection
      with any action taken by the Prepetition Lenders to monitor, advise,
      enforce or collect the Prepetition Obligations, or any other document or

              The
      amortizations under the existing NMF Loan Agreements remain
      unchanged.

               

            
	
              Security:

            	
              The
      mortgages and financing statements previously filed of record to secure
      the NMF Loan Agreements remain in effect and retain their prepetition
      status in terms of validity and priority as encumbrances against Debtor’s
      property. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to supersede or terminate
      the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement amongst the Senior and
      subordinate lenders dated June 4, 2008.

               

            
	
              Accrued
      Default Interest:

               

               

               

              Debt
      Service Reserve Account

            	
              All
      default interest provided by the NMF Loan Agreements will be deferred
      until the present maturity dates in the NMF Loan
      Agreements.  Provided that the Debtor does not default in the
      performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents, NMF will waive
      such interest on the maturity dates in the NMF Agreements.

               

              The
      Debtor will establish at Confirmation and thereafter maintain a segregated
      deposit account, identified as the NMF Debt Reserve Account, which shall
      at all times have a balance equal to at least six months of interest due
      on the NMF Loans. The Debtor shall at least monthly provide NMF with
      evidence of compliance.  The deferred default interest shall
      become immediately due and payable upon failure to maintain the required
      minimum balance.  The Debtor and lending institution at which
      the deposit account is located will execute a Deposit Account Control
      Agreement in favor of NMF.

               

            
	
              Plan
      of Reorganization:

            	
              The
      Debtor shall file the Plan, which must be acceptable to AgStar and NMF
      (collectively the “Prepetition Lenders”),
      on or before February 28, 2010 (the “Plan
Date”).

               

              At
      a minimum, the Plan shall not be deemed acceptable to the Prepetition
      Lenders unless:

                

              ·      The
      Plan provides for and treats the Prepetition Lenders as  fully
      secured creditors;

              ·      The
      Plan provides for the financing set forth in this Term Sheet;

              ·      The
      Confirmation Order and the Plan provide that the assets of Debtor will be
      free from any and all subordinate mortgages, liens, and encumbrances,
      including any lessor’s interests, except as may be accepted by the
      Prepetition Lenders.
