Contingent upon fulfillment by Ethanol Capital Partners, L.P. of all outstanding obligations owed under the subscription agreement and the promissory note, EKAE will accept the subscription by Ethanol Capital Partners, L.P. for the purchase of the 4,550 Membership Units in EKAE.

We cannot assure you of their re-election.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the foregoing.
