2. OPTION CONSIDERATION: As consideration for the option grant provided
in paragraph 1 above, Optionee agrees to pay to Optionor at the time
of the execution of this Option Agreement the sum of $10,000.00. The
parties agree that there is valid and sufficient consideration for
this Agreement based on this sum, the mutual
390 - 1/6

relating to the subject property while this Option Agreement is in

which it is responsible and Optionor is unable, fails or refuses
to meet its obligations hereunder for more than 30 days after
receipt of written notice of such default, Optionee may either:

the ethanol plant and related improvements thereto. The Optionee
shall have no duty to preserve any of such crops, and the
Optionor accepts as liquidated damages (in lieu of any and all
other damages) an amount equal to 120% of the University of
Nebraska estimated per acre crop input cost for Fillmore County,
Nebraska for the applicable crop year multiplied by the number of
acres, or fractional acres, of crop destroyed on the Property by
