EIP dissolved on December 2, 2014. Clean Energy Capital, LLC (“CEC”) (f/k/a Ethanol Capital Management, LLC) was the sole manager of EIP.

Authorized on January 8, 2015, but effective as of January 1, 2015, EIP distributed the 2,750,000 Units to the LLC Members as follows: ECP Series E: 591,268 Units; ECP Series H: 226,247 Units; ECP Series I: 249,234 Units; ECP Series J: 109,531 Units; ECP Series L: 115,072 Units; ECP Series M: 78,502 Units; ECP Series N: 387,946 Units; ECP Series O: 258,249 Units; ECP Series P: 258,016 Units; ECP Series Q: 381,544 Units; and ECP Series S: 94,391 Units.

As a result, the 78,502 Series M Units are not reported in this Schedule 13D/A-9.

As noted above, EIP distributed 591,268 Units (the “Series E Units”) to ECP Series E, and, in connection with the liquidation of ECP Series E, effective July 1, 2015, the Series E Units were distributed to the limited partners of ECP Series E. As a result, the 591,268 Series E Units are not reported in this Schedule 13D/A-9.

As noted above, EIP distributed 226,247 Units (the “Series H Units”) to ECP Series H, and, in connection with the liquidation of ECP Series H, effective October 1, 2015, the Series H Units were distributed to the limited partners of ECP Series H.

As noted above, EIP distributed 249,234 Units (the “Series I Units”) to ECP Series I, and, in connection with the liquidation of ECP Series I, effective October 1, 2015, the Series I Units were distributed to the limited partners of ECP Series I. As a result, the 249,234 Series I Units are not reported in this Schedule 13D/A-9.

As a result, the 94,391 Series S Units are not reported in this Schedule 13D/A-9.

As a result of the dissolutions of Series M, Series E, Series H, Series I and Series S, only 1,510,358 Units of the 2,750,000 Units that EIP originally received in the Settlement Agreement are included in the 2,683,857 Units reported in this Schedule 13D/A-9.

As previously reported in Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D, Tennessee Ethanol Partners, L.P. (“TEP”), of which CEC served as the general partner and investment advisor to and had voting and dispositive power over its assets, owned 500,000 Units (the “TEP Units”), and the TEP Units had been previously reported on Amendments to Schedule 13D filed by CEC. On October 31, 2014, the term of TEP expired and thereafter, in connection with the liquidation of TEP, the TEP Units were distributed to the limited partners of TEP on January 8, 2015 with an effective date of transfer as of January 1, 2015. As a result, the 500,000 TEP Units are not reported in this Schedule 13D/A-9.

Of the 2,683,857 Units reported in this Schedule 13D/A-9, 475,462 Units are directly owned by Ethanol Capital Partners, L.P.

ECP Series T, ECP Series R and ECP Series V are distinct stand-alone entities which own their respective Units in ABE directly and not through affiliated entities.

Page 4 of 25

board of directors; provided, however, that if an Investor holds 5% or more but less than 10% of the then outstanding units of membership interest in ABE, such Investor shall have the right to designate one nominee to the ABE board of directors, and if an Investor holds less than 5% of the then outstanding units of membership interest in ABE, such Investor shall no longer have the right to designate any nominee to the ABE board of directors (each of the CEO Designee and the designees of the Investors, the “Designees”). The Voting Agreement is attached as Exhibit B to the Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on September 3, 2009.

On April 7, 2010, the Original Voting Agreement Parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to Voting Agreement, by and among ABE, Hawkeye, EIP, ECP Series R, ECP Series T, Tennessee Ethanol Partners, L.P. (“TEP”), SDWG and certain of the directors of ABE (the “2010 Voting Agreement Amendment”), pursuant to which (1) TEP, ECP Series R and ECP Series T (collectively, the “2010 Voting Agreement Parties”) were added as parties to the Voting Agreement and (2) at and in connection with the next meeting of the ABE members held to consider proposed changes to the ABE Third Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”), the directors of ABE who are parties to the 2010 Voting Agreement Amendment were required to recommend to the ABE members the proposed changes to the Operating Agreement as set forth in the proposed Fourth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of ABE, attached as Exhibit A to the 2010 Voting Agreement Amendment (the “Proposed Changes”), and the Original Voting Agreement Parties, including the 2010 Voting Agreement Parties, were obligated (i) to vote all units of membership interest of ABE held by such Original Voting Agreement Parties and 2010 Voting Agreement Parties in favor of the Proposed Changes and (ii) not to take intentionally any action that would result in the failure to adopt the Proposed Changes to the Operating Agreement by the members of ABE, including but not limited to granting any proxy with respect to any units of membership interest of ABE that is inconsistent with his, her or its obligations under the 2010 Voting Agreement Amendment. The 2010 Voting Agreement Amendment is attached as Exhibit A to the Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on April 8, 2010. ECP Series V is not a party to the Voting Agreement, as amended, as of the date hereof.

constituted the parties bound by the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, as amended by the 2015 Voting Agreement Amendment, which includes, but is not limited to, the obligation to nominate for election, recommend to its members the election of, and vote all units of membership interest of ABE held by such 2015 Voting Agreement Parties for the Designees as members of the board of directors of ABE, and the 2015 Voting Agreement Parties were required not to take any action that would result in, and to take any action necessary to prevent, the removal of any of the Designees and are prohibited from granting a proxy with respect to any units that is inconsistent with the terms of the Voting Agreement, as amended. The 2015 Voting Agreement Amendment is attached as Exhibit B to Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on January 8, 2015.

On January 11, 2016, the 2015 Voting Agreement Parties entered into that certain Amendment No. 3 to Voting Agreement, by and among ABE, CEC, Hawkeye, ECP Series J, ECP Series L, ECP Series N, ECP Series O, ECP Series P, ECP Series Q, ECP Series R, ECP Series T, SDWG and certain of the directors of ABE (the “2016 Voting Agreement Amendment”), pursuant to which (i) certain transfer restrictions were waived with respect to Units distributed to the limited partners of ECP Series E, ECP Series H, ECP Series I and ECP Series S in connection with the dissolutions of ECP Series E, ECP Series H, ECP Series I and ECP Series S and (ii) certain transfer restrictions were prospectively waived with respect to Units that will be distributed to the limited partners of any of ECP Series J, ECP Series L, ECP Series N, ECP Series O, ECP Series P, ECP Series Q, ECP Series R and ECP Series T (collectively, the “Series Parties”) upon the automatic termination of any such Series Party’s term of duration. As a result, ABE, CEC, Hawkeye, ECP Series J, ECP Series L, ECP Series N, ECP Series O, ECP Series P, ECP Series Q, ECP Series R, ECP Series T, SDWG and certain of the directors of ABE (collectively, the “Current Voting Agreement Parties”) constitute the parties bound by the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, as amended through the 2016 Voting Agreement Amendment, which includes, but is not limited to, the obligation to nominate for election, recommend to its members the election of, and vote all units of membership interest of ABE held by such Current Voting Agreement Parties for the Designees as members of the board of directors of ABE, and the Current Voting Agreement Parties are required not to take any action that would result in, and to take any action necessary to prevent, the removal of any of the Designees and are prohibited from granting a proxy with respect to any units that is inconsistent with the terms of the Voting Agreement, as amended. The 2016 Voting Agreement Amendment is attached as Exhibit B to this Schedule 13D/A-9.

In entering into the Voting Agreement, as amended by the 2010 Voting Agreement Amendment, the 2015 Voting Agreement Amendment and the 2016 Voting Agreement Amendment, the Current Voting Agreement Parties agreed to act together for the purpose of voting their respective units of membership interest of ABE, and as a result, the Current Voting Agreement Parties may be deemed to be a “group” pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Reporting Persons do not expressly affirm membership in a group, however, and the Reporting Persons will vote with the other the Current Voting Agreement Parties for the sole purpose of nominating and electing the Designees pursuant to the Voting Agreement. Accordingly, the 2,683,857 Units reported in this Schedule 13D/A-9 do not include units of membership interest of ABE owned by Hawkeye, SDWG or the members of the board of directors of ABE. This Schedule 13D/A-9 only reports information on the Reporting Persons identified in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D/A-9.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On April 27, 2007, the Issuer issued a convertible promissory note to EIP in the amount of $10,000,000 (“Note 1”). On June 20, 2007, the Issuer issued a second convertible promissory note to EIP in the amount of $15,929,436 (“Note 2”). Both Notes had a scheduled maturity date of June 20, 2008. Under the terms of the Notes, the Notes were convertible into units of membership of the Issuer based on a conversion price of the lesser of $16 per unit or the price per unit which is equal to the lowest price per unit at which the Issuer sold units during the period in which the Notes were outstanding.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons have acquired the Units for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons from time to time intend to review their investment in the Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the business of the Issuer, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the stock of the Issuer in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Based upon such review, the Reporting Persons will take such actions in the future as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing, from time to time, which may include further acquisitions of units or disposal of some or all of the Units currently owned by the Reporting Persons or otherwise acquired by the Reporting Persons, as the case may be.

agreed that the Chief Executive Officer of ABE be nominated and elected to the ABE board of directors (the “CEO Designee”) and that the Investors each be entitled to designate two representatives to the ABE board of directors; provided, however, that if an Investor holds less than 10%, but more than 5%, of the then outstanding units of membership interest in ABE, such Investor shall have the right to designate one nominee to the ABE board of directors, and if an Investor holds less than 5% of the then outstanding units of membership interest in ABE, such Investor shall no longer have the right to designate any nominee to the ABE board of directors (each of the CEO Designee and the designees of the Investors, the “Designees”). At that time, EIP held in excess of 10% of the outstanding units of membership interest in ABE, and, accordingly, was entitled to designate two representatives to the ABE board of directors, one of which is Scott Brittenham. On January 8, 2015, Charles Miller, who will serve in the sole discretion of EIP, was appointed to the ABE board of directors collectively by CEC, ECP Series E, ECP Series H, ECP Series I, ECP Series J, ECP Series L, ECP Series N, ECP Series O, ECP Series P, ECP Series Q, ECP Series R, ECP Series S, and ECP Series T, who succeeded to the rights of EIP pursuant to the 2015 Voting Agreement Amendment discussed below. The Voting Agreement is attached as Exhibit B to the Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on September 3, 2009.

On April 7, 2010, the Original Voting Agreement Parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to Voting Agreement, by and among ABE, Hawkeye, EIP, ECP Series R, ECP Series T, Tennessee Ethanol Partners, L.P. (“TEP”), SDWG and certain of the directors of ABE (the “2010 Voting Agreement Amendment”), pursuant to which (1) TEP, ECP Series R and ECP Series T (collectively, the “2010 Voting Agreement Parties”) were added as parties to the Voting Agreement and (2) at and in connection with the next meeting of the ABE members held to consider proposed changes to the ABE Third Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”), the directors of ABE who are parties to the 2010 Voting Agreement Amendment were required to recommend to the ABE members the proposed changes to the Operating Agreement as set forth in the proposed Fourth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of ABE, attached as Exhibit A to the 2010 Voting Agreement Amendment (the “Proposed Changes”), and the Original Voting Agreement Parties, including the 2010 Voting Agreement Parties, were obligated (i) to vote all units of membership interest of ABE held by such Original Voting Agreement Parties and 2010 Voting Agreement Parties in favor of the Proposed Changes and (ii) not to take intentionally any action that would result in the failure to adopt the Proposed Changes to the Operating Agreement by the members of ABE, including but not limited to granting any proxy with respect to any units of membership interest of ABE that is inconsistent with his, her or its obligations under the 2010 Voting Agreement Amendment. The Proposed Changes, among other things, eliminated restrictions on the number of authorized Units of ABE and clarified that the ABE board may, but is not required to, fill vacancies that arise on the ABE board.

and ECP Series S, (collectively, the “2015 Voting Agreement Amendment Parties”) were added as parties to the Voting Agreement, (ii) each of EIP and TEP were removed as a party to the Voting Agreement, (iii) CEC, ECP Series E, ECP Series H, ECP Series I, ECP Series J, ECP Series L, ECP Series N, ECP Series O, ECP Series P, ECP Series Q, ECP Series R, ECP Series S, and ECP Series T succeeded to the rights and privileges that EIP held as an Investor under the Voting Agreement and (iv) certain transfer restrictions were waived with respect to Units being distributed to (a) the limited partners of Series M in connection with the dissolution of ECP Series M and (b) the limited partners of TEP in connection with the dissolution of TEP. As a result, ABE, CEC, Hawkeye, ECP Series E, ECP Series H, ECP Series I, ECP Series J, ECP Series L, ECP Series N, ECP Series O, ECP Series P, ECP Series Q, ECP Series R, ECP Series T, SDWG and certain of the directors of ABE (collectively, the “2015 Voting Agreement Parties”) constituted the parties bound by the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, as amended by the 2015 Voting Agreement Amendment, which includes, but is not limited to, the obligation to nominate for election, recommend to its members the election of, and vote all units of membership interest of ABE held by such 2015 Voting Agreement Parties for the Designees as members of the board of directors of ABE, and the 2015 Voting Agreement Parties were required not to take any action that would result in, and to take any action necessary to prevent, the removal of any of the Designees and are prohibited from granting a proxy with respect to any units that is inconsistent with the terms of the Voting Agreement, as amended. The 2015 Voting Agreement Amendment is attached as Exhibit B to Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on January 8, 2015.

In their capacity as directors of the Issuer, Scott Brittenham and Charles Miller may actively pursue proposals which could relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any other person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Act; or (j) any similar action to those enumerated above.

In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more members, officers or directors of the Issuer, including discussions regarding potential changes in the operations of the Issuer and strategic direction that, if effected, could result in, among other things: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any other person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Act; or (j) any similar action to those enumerated above.

Notwithstanding the potential plans and proposals enumerated above, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, CEC and EIP, on their own behalf and on behalf of each of their officers, directors and affiliates, agreed that they would not participate with any other person or entity in proposing an action prior to the next annual meeting of ABE that would likely result in the removal or dismissal of current ABE board members. The Settlement Agreement does not, however, prohibit such action in connection with any other meetings of ABE members at which board members are elected held thereafter.

Except as expressly set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons currently have no additional plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be reported herein. The Reporting Persons reserve the right, based on all relevant factors and subject to applicable law, at any time and from time to time, to review or reconsider their position, change their purpose, take other actions (including actions that could involve one or more of the types of

The Registration Rights Agreement is attached as Exhibit C to the Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on September 3, 2009.

On June 20, 2007, the Issuer issued a second convertible promissory note to EIP in the amount of $15,929,436 (“Note 2”). Both Notes had a scheduled maturity date of June 20, 2008. Under the terms of the Notes, the Notes were convertible into units of the Issuer based on a conversion price of the lesser of $16 per unit or the price per unit which is equal to the lowest price per unit at which the Issuer sold units during the period in which the Notes were outstanding.

CEC and ABE disputed the conversion price of the Notes and whether interest on the Notes was convertible into units.
