TERM

through an amendment.

CANCELLATION

Either party may cancel this contract by providing sixty (60) days written

Development Fee: When the plant construction announcement is made, LLC shall pay

grain delivered to Richardton. No fee will be assessed on truck grain delivered

It is proposed that Red Trail Energy LLC maintain two commodity futures
accounts. One would be used for hedging purposes (Hedge Account) and one would
be used to minimize corn procurement costs (Trade Account). The incentive would
apply to all profits earned on closed trades in the "Trade Account".

     Hedge Account: This account would be used exclusively to offset cash corn
     purchased or cash product sold (DDG or ethanol). Gains or losses generated
     in account would be applied to the respective commodity.

     Trade Account: This account would be used to purchase corn futures or call
     options or sell put options. Its primary function is to protect the plant
     from rising corn costs. The firm handling the transactions calculates gains
     or losses in this account. Gains or losses would be accounted for according
     to LLC's board and management team. Profits in this account would be split
     10% to NVC and the balance to LLC. Losses would remain the responsibility
     of LLC. Reconciliation for the incentive shall coincide with LLC's fiscal
     year

All fees shall be due and payable upon receipt of an invoice from NVC.
