13. Duties of Plant Manager. MANAGER shall provide the full time services of a Plant Manager. The Plant Manager shall work exclusively for the Plant and shall be based at the location of the Plant. MANAGER will endeavor in good faith to keep the Plant Manager at the Plant and to refrain from transferring the Plant Manager from the Plant prior to the termination of this Agreement, provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed or interpreted as restricting MANAGER’s right and authority to terminate, remove, reprimand or replace a Plant Manager if, in its sole discretion, MANAGER deems such action necessary or advisable for the proper performance of its duties hereunder. Subject to the policies set by the OWNER, the Plant Manager’s responsibilities include the following:

14. Proprietary Information. During the term of this Agreement, the parties may furnish, to each other information including, but not limited to, specifications, photocopies, magnetic tapes, drawings, sketches, models, samples, tools, technical information, data, know-how, customer and market information, financial reports, precontractual negotiations, engineering studies, consultants’ studies, options for site purchases, and relationships established with experts, consultants and governmental agencies (all hereinafter designated as “Proprietary Information”) in connection with the operations of the Plant. The party furnishing such Proprietary Information to the other party shall have the exclusive right and interest in and to such Proprietary Information and the goodwill associated therewith. A party will not directly or indirectly contest the ownership of Proprietary Information furnished by the other party in writing or furnished verbally and then documented in writing within seven (7) days. The use of the Proprietary Information of a party in the operations of the Plant does not give the other party any ownership interest or other interest in or to such information; provided, however, the

MANAGER, upon termination of this Agreement, shall grant to OWNER at no additional cost (other than the license fee payable by OWNER to MANAGER under paragraph 17 below) a nonexclusive perpetual limited license to use, solely for the continued operations of the Plant, such Proprietary Information of MANAGER that is then utilized in the operation of the Plant and necessary for the continued operations of the Plant. Any modifications or additions to the Proprietary Information of a party made by the other party will only be property of such other party if the modifications or addition stands alone separately without any portion of such Proprietary Information. Nothing in this Paragraph shall be construed as requiring any party to furnish any Proprietary Information to the other party. Proprietary Information developed by MANAGER or any of its employees or agents during the term of this Agreement or the operations of the Plant shall not be considered “work for hire” and, between the parties hereto, MANAGER shall have the exclusive right and interest in and to such Proprietary Information and the goodwill associated therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Proprietary Information is jointly developed by the parties, such Proprietary Information shall be jointly owned by the parties. For purposes of this paragraph, Proprietary Information shall not include:

(a) Information of a party that at the time furnished to the other party is in the public domain or becomes part of the public domain by publication or otherwise through no fault of the other party or its employees or agents; or

(b) Information of a party that at the time furnished to the other party was in the possession of the other party as shown by written records and was independently developed by the other party or obtained from a source on a non-confidential basis by a Person entitled to disclose it.

Proprietary Information is confidential and proprietary. Each party shall keep the Proprietary Information of the other party confidential and shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain the Proprietary Information as secret and confidential. Failure to so maintain the Proprietary Information of a party as confidential shall entitle such party to any damages stemming from such failure, to include without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. A party shall not at any time without the prior written consent of the other party, copy, duplicate, record or otherwise reproduce the Proprietary Information of such other party, in whole or in part for any unauthorized Persons, or otherwise make the same available to any unauthorized Person. Each party agrees that the other party would be irreparably damaged by reason of any violation of the confidentiality provisions contained herein and that any remedy at law for a breach of such provisions would be inadequate. Therefore, a party shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction against the other party, its agents, employees, officers or other associates, for any breach or threatened breach of the confidentiality covenants contained herein without the necessity of proving actual monetary loss. It is expressly understood that the remedy described herein shall not be the exclusive remedy of a party for any breach of such covenants, and such party shall be entitled to seek such other relief or remedy, at law or in equity, to which it may be entitled as a consequence of any breach of such covenants. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed so as to inhibit OWNER’s ability to make necessary disclosures as required by the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any other applicable securities laws, provided, however, any disclosure of Proprietary Information of MANAGER shall require the prior written consent of MANAGER, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

15. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate on the fifth (5th) anniversary of that date, unless earlier terminated pursuant to paragraph 16. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement, this Agreement shall be automatically extended for successive five (5) year terms thereafter unless either party gives written notice to the other party of its election not to renew, not later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then current term.

16. Early Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to earlier termination during the term hereof as follows:

(a) by OWNER upon a default by MANAGER which remains uncured for more than twenty (20) days after written notice thereof, unless the same is susceptible to being cured but not within a period of twenty (20) days and due and diligent efforts to effect such cure have been commenced during such twenty (20) day period and are continuing;

(b) by MANAGER upon a default by OWNER in (i) the due and punctual payment of any installment of the Management Fee or Incentive Bonus to MANAGER unless such default is cured by OWNER within ten (10) days after written notice thereof, (ii) reimbursing MANAGER for any cost or expense under paragraph 10, unless such default is cured by OWNER within ten (10) days after written notice thereof, or (iii) any persistent instruction or order by OWNER to operate the Plant in a way in which a violation of any applicable law or regulation is likely to occur;

(c) by either party upon not less than five (5) days notice to the other in the event a petition is filed against the other party to declare it bankrupt or to require an arrangement or its reorganization under the Bankruptcy Act or any similar insolvency statute and, if involuntary, such petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days;

(d) immediately and without further action by either party upon the occurrence of (i) a taking by condemnation or similar proceeding of the Plant, or (ii) the damage or destruction of all or substantially all of the Plant by fire or other casualty.

17. License Fee. In order to compensate MANAGER for OWNER’s continued use of MANAGER’s Proprietary Information (including, without limitation, the management system(s) established and implemented by MANAGER at the Plant during the term of this Agreement), OWNER shall pay to MANAGER a license fee of $250,000 at a monthly rate of $10,417 for twenty-four (24) months after the termination of this Agreement, if termination occurs during the initial term of the Agreement. The first monthly installment shall be due and payable on the date of termination of this Agreement and each successive monthly installment shall be due and payable on the same day of each month thereafter during such twenty-four (24) month period after termination.

18. Dispute Resolution. The parties shall attempt to settle amicably any dispute or difference of any kind whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with the validity or invalidity, construction, execution, meaning, operation or effect or breach of this Agreement (exept for any such dispute or difference involving paragraph 14). If the parties do not promptly do so, either

party may, by written notice to the other party, call for private mediation of the issue before a mediator to be agreed upon by the parties. The parties agree to conclude such private mediation within thirty (30) days of the filing by a party of a request for such mediation. In the event of a dispute between the parties that is not resolved by such mediation, either party may, by written notice to the other party, call for private binding non-appealable arbitration of the issue before a single arbitrator agreed upon by the parties. In the event a single arbitrator cannot be agreed upon, each party shall appoint a third party arbitrator from a list provided by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (not a principal of a party) and the two arbitrators thus selected by the parties shall select a third arbitrator. The arbitrators shall meet as expeditiously as possible to resolve the dispute, and a majority decision of the arbitrators shall be controlling. While each party is free to select an arbitrator of its own choosing from the list provided by the AAA, either party by written notice to the other may require that all arbitrators chosen have sufficient expertise in the subject matter of the arbitration that they would qualify as “expert witnesses” in a judicial proceeding.

The arbitrators so chosen shall conduct the arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the AAA as applicable in the State of Iowa. Such arbitration shall take place at a mutually agreed upon location. The arbitrators shall be governed, in their determinations hereunder, by the intention of the parties as evidenced by the terms of this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered in writing and shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be non-appealable. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered by either party and enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction. The parties shall share the procedural costs of the mediation and arbitration equally. Each party shall pay its own attorney’s fees and costs incurred by it relating to the mediation and arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences, the parties hereby authorize the abritrators to award costs and fees to the prevailing party as the arbitrators deem appropriate.

Pending resolution of such dispute or difference and without prejudice to their rights, the parties shall continue to respect all their obligations and to perform all their duties under this Agreement; provided, however, the parties shall not be obligated to perform their obligations after this Agreement has been terminated by any party pursuant to paragraph 16, or if such termination is the dispute being arbitrated, except payment of the licensing fee pursuant to paragraph 17.

After signing this Agreement, each party understands that it will not be able to bring a lawsuit concerning any dispute that may arise that is covered by this arbitration provision (other than to enforce the arbitration decision). The parties hereby agree that any dispute or difference involving paragraph 14 shall not be subject to this mediation or arbitration provision.

19. Assignment. This Agreement and the duties and obligations hereunder may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party and, if applicable, the primary lender of OWNER.

20. Headings. The paragraph headings contained herein are for convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the scope or intent of any provisions of this Agreement.

21. Governing Law. The validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the parties hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Iowa.

22. Notices. Any notice required or permitted herein to be given shall be given in writing and shall be delivered by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to MANAGER or OWNER, as the case may be, to the Person and at the address set forth below, or to such other Person or other address as MANAGER or OWNER shall provide notice of from time to time during the term of this Agreement, and notice shall be deemed to have been given to the party to whom it is addressed forty-eight (48) hours after such delivery:

23. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective parties and their permitted assigns and successors in interest.

24. Severability. Should any term or provision hereof be deemed invalid, void, or unenforceable either in its entirety or in a particular application, the remainder of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect and, if the subject term or provision is deemed to be invalid, void or unenforceable only with respect to a particular application, such term or provision shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all other applications. If, however, any court of competent jurisdiction or any arbitration proceeding should render a final judgment that the authority granted to MANAGER from OWNER exceeds the bounds of permissible delegation under applicable law, the parties agree that this Agreement shall be deemed amended, modified and reformed to the extent necessary to reduce the scope of authority so delegated to that deemed legal by written legal opinion of special counsel to OWNER. The parties agree that in no event shall any determination that the discretion and authority granted to MANAGER hereunder exceeds permissible bounds result in this Agreement being declared or adjudged invalid, void, or unenforceable in its entirety; rather, the parties request that any court or arbitration proceeding examining such issue employ great latitude in reforming the Agreement so as to make the Agreement as reformed valid and enforceable.

25. Indemnification by OWNER. OWNER shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend MANAGER, its employees and agents from and against any and all actual claims, losses,

Any delays in or failure of performance of any of the respective obligations of this Agreement of either party hereto shall not constitute default or give rise to any claims for damages if and to the extent such delays or failure of performance are caused by occurrences not within the reasonable control or at the fault of the party affected, which, by exercise of due diligence and foresight, could not reasonably have been avoided, including, but not limited to: acts of God or the public enemy; expropriation or confiscation of facilities; compliance with any order or decree of any governmental authority; cable cut; acts of war or terrorism, abnormal severe weather, rebellion or sabotage or damage resulting therefrom; fires; floods; explosion; riots; strikes or other concerted acts of workmen; accidents or other casualty. The party rendered unable to fulfill any obligation by reason of Force Majeure shall exercise due diligence to remove such inability with all reasonable speed and diligence and in accordance with prudent industry practices.
