TERM

2.1 Term . This Agreement is effective as of the date first written above. This Agreement will continue in effect until the Scheduled Expiration Date, or if applicable, the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof (the “Term”). The Parties may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time. The termination of this Agreement shall not affect or excuse the performance of either Party under any provision of this Agreement that by its terms survives any such termination. With respect to any sale, storage and/or delivery of corn agreed to by the Parties during the Term but scheduled to occur after the Scheduled Expiration Date, this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to such sale,

 

4


storage and/or delivery until the Parties have fulfilled all of their obligations with respect to such transactions.

2.2 Extension of the Scheduled Expiration Date . Commencing on October 1, 2011, and on every October 1 thereafter, the Scheduled Expiration Date shall be automatically extended for one year, unless on or before that respective October 1 date, either Party shall have notified the other Party that the then-Scheduled Expiration Date shall not be so extended (such notice a “Termination Notice”). Co-op will continue to Originate corn, for sale, storage and/or delivery to Liberty, during the period after the date on which the Termination Notice is delivered and before the Scheduled Expiration Date. This Origination will include the forward contracting of corn for sale to Liberty to be delivered to Co-op by Third-Party Sellers up to twelve (12) months after the Scheduled Expiration Date. Following the delivery of a Termination Notice by either Party, Liberty may Originate corn within the Trade Territory from any source for delivery to Liberty, provided that delivery of such corn occurs twelve (12) months or more after the Scheduled Expiration Date.

ARTICLE III

DUTIES OF LIBERTY AND CO-OP

3.1 Duties of Liberty . From and after the Commencement Date and during the Term, Liberty will (i) purchase all corn that Co-op Originates (except Feed Corn, as defined below) , at the Contract Price, (ii) store the purchased corn in the Elevators, and (iii) take delivery of the corn for shipment from the Elevators, all on the terms and conditions herein set forth. During the Term of this Agreement, and so long as Co-op has not breached any of its obligations under this Agreement, Liberty agrees it will not enter into any agreement for corn Origination and/or storage, during the Term with any Third-Party Seller located in the Trade Territory or store corn in the Trade Territory other than through Co-op under this Agreement, provided, however that: (i) Liberty may purchase corn from any licensed grain dealer on a spot basis for immediate delivery to Liberty from the facility of the licensed grain dealer within the Trade Territory at any time during the Term and Liberty will consult with and notify Co-op prior to such purchase, provided further, however, that from September 15 - December 15 of each year, Liberty will not make any such spot purchase without Co-op’s consent; and (ii) Liberty may purchase or Originate corn and store it at or through the Millington Elevator & Supply facility at Millington, Michigan. Liberty is free to purchase and procure corn that is grown outside the Trade Territory in its unfettered, sole discretion, and this Agreement does not affect or relate to such purchases. Upon taking delivery of corn to Liberty for shipment from an Elevator, Liberty may ship the corn to any destination it elects in its sole discretion.

3.2 Duties of Co-op . From and after the Commencement Date and during the Term, Co-op will (i) use its best good faith efforts to Originate all corn available to it within the Trade Territory for resale to Liberty (it being understood this does not require Co-op to acquire corn at prices in excess of Market Price), (ii) sell to Liberty all of the corn that Co-op Originates (except Feed Corn, as defined below) at the Contract Price, (iii) store corn in the Elevators for Liberty, and (iv) deliver the corn to Liberty for shipment from the Elevators on the terms and conditions herein set forth. After the Commencement Date and during the Term, Co-op will not (w) sell corn to any Person other than Liberty, (x) broker or arbitrage any corn purchase or sale arrangements unless such arrangements are for Liberty or Co-op Quality Feeds, Inc., (y) receive

 

5


delivery of corn to the Elevators for any Person other than Liberty, or (z) store corn on behalf of any Person other than Liberty. The foregoing not withstanding, Co-op may (a) Originate or store corn for Co-op Quality Feeds, Inc. or Co-op’s own feed production or other on farm end use; and (b) store corn that remains under producer ownership as part of a livestock feed bank storage program under customary feed bank plans, both (a) and (b) being called “Feed Corn.” Co-Op warrants, represents and covenants that (i) all Feed Corn will be sold and/or delivered only to End-Use Retail Customers or to Co-Op Quality Feeds, Inc. for sale only to End-Use Retail Customers, and (ii) that Co-Op Quality Feeds, Inc. will only sell and/or deliver Feed Corn to End-Use Retail Customers.

3.3 Matters Pertaining to Forward Transactions .

(a) Following the Effective Date, Co-op and Liberty will commence entering into contracts for the Origination of corn to be delivered to an Elevator on or after the Commencement Date (a “Forward Transaction”) for sale to Liberty. When Co-op enters into a contract with a Third-Party Seller for such a Forward Transaction, Co-op will immediately notify Liberty of such Forward Transaction.

(b) Liberty will not be obligated to take or pay for such corn or any related Handling Fee until the later of actual receipt of the corn at an Elevator or the Commencement Date, nor for storing corn on behalf of Liberty until the later of actual receipt of the corn at an Elevator or the Commencement Date.

(c) Prior to the Commencement Date, Co-op will be responsible for hedging all Forward Transactions described in (a) above in accord with Co-op’s past practices and in amounts and on terms reasonably acceptable to Liberty. Co-op shall bear any expenses incurred in connection with acquiring and maintaining such hedges including paying all margin calls, carrying charges or related interest and commissions until the Commencement Date.

(d) On the Commencement Date: (i) Co-op shall exchange with Liberty its hedge positions on all Forward Transactions entered into prior to the Commencement Date in a manner to allow Co-op to exit such hedge positions and Liberty to assume them; (ii) Liberty will issue Co-op a corresponding purchase contract for each Forward Transaction Co-op entered into prior to the Commencement Date and (iii) Liberty will reimburse Co-op for all commission costs and actual interest or carrying charges related to margin calls paid by Co-op and incurred by Co-op as a result of hedge positions acquired and maintined pursuant to Section 3.3(c) without any markup by Co-op. Co-op shall obtain competitive financing rates for margin calls and other transaction costs and charges consistent with Co-op’s practices and rates obtained to hedge other Co-op transactions. Commencing the month following the Effective Date and continuing until the Commencement Date, Co-op shall deliver to Liberty a detailed summary of the daily margin positions, margin calls, interest rates and interest charges incurred by Co-op on each day during the previous month with respect to all Forward Transactions.

(e) After the Commencement Date, Liberty shall have in place a sub-account under its account with a futures commission merchant or brokerage firm in which Co-op is authorized to and will hedge directly on behalf of Liberty the purchase contracts for corn to be resold to Liberty under this Agreement. Such hedges by Co-op shall be executed and structured pursuant

 

6


to Liberty’s hedge strategies as will be communicated to Co-op from time to time. Liberty shall bear any expenses incurred in connection with acquiring and maintaining such hedges including paying all margin calls, carrying charges or related interest and commissions on and after the Commencement Date. At the end of each day, Co-op will fax to Liberty its listing of corn purchase contracts for the day and Liberty will issue Co-op corresponding purchase contracts for such contracted corn.

3.4 Contract Price. Liberty shall purchase and Co-op shall sell all corn to Liberty at the Contract Price. The Contract Price shall be the lesser of (i) the Market Price, or (ii) the price actually paid by Co-op to the Third-Party Supplier for such corn. .

3.5 Market Price . In determining the Market Price, Liberty will consult with Co-op regularly and use good faith efforts to determine the Market Price. Co-op shall propose to Liberty Market Prices for its Origination of corn. Liberty may accept the proposed Market Price, or, if it does not agree, determine and set another Market Price, in Liberty’s discretion, and advise Co-op thereof. The Market Price will be set with reference to factors that the grain industry commonly uses to establish the price of corn purchased from producers in the Trade Territory including: (i) transportation, (ii) the relevant Chicago Board of Trade futures, and (iii) basis (basis consisting of local supply and a survey of all reasonable available alternate markets for the corn such as the Columbus train market, the Toledo export market, the Canadian truck market, local feed manufacturing, ethanol plants and other end-users). In the event Co-op disputes that the Market Price set by Liberty accurately reflects the actual market price for corn Originated in the Trade Territory, Co-op must notify Liberty immediately of the disagreement, and specify the reason of such disagreement. Promptly following receipt of such notice, Liberty and Co-op shall attempt to resolve the dispute and agree on a Market Price. If the Parties do not agree, they shall promptly refer the matter to a mutually agreeable expert on local corn Origination pricing, whose decision shall be final and binding on the Parties.

3.6 Source . Co-op will Originate corn grown only within the Trade Territory unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties.

3.7 Volume Guarantee . On October 1 of each year, commencing 2009, the Parties will calculate the Total Liberty Throughput for the previous twelve (12) months. In the event Co-op fails to sell or deliver corn to Liberty or store corn for Liberty during such period as a result of Force Majeure or a default by Co-op hereunder, the Guaranteed Volume will be reduced accordingly. If the Total Liberty Throughput for such period is less than the Guaranteed Volume, then Liberty will pay Co-op the Volume Guarantee Payment within thirty (30) days of the date the calculation is made. The Parties agree that any delay in determining the Volume Guarantee Payment because of a good faith dispute concerning the calculation thereof will not be a basis for a claim of breach or a delay or suspension of performance by either Party under this Agreement. The Volume Guarantee Payment shall be calculated using the following formula:

 

7


16¢ X (Guaranteed Volume – Total Liberty Throughput)

plus

((Total Storage Fees Accrued by Liberty For the Year / Total Liberty Throughput)/2)

X

(Guaranteed Volume – Total Liberty Throughput)

3.8 Separate Agreements . The Parties intend to enter into a separate agreement under which Liberty will purchase from Co-op approximately three million (3,000,000) bushels of corn grown during the 2007 corn growing season. The Parties also intend to enter into a separate agreement under which Co-op and/or Co-op Quality Feeds, Inc. will purchase from Liberty dried distiller grain products produced at the Plant. The terms and conditions of those agreements or performance thereunder, or, even if the Parties are unable to agree on any such agreements, are not contingent upon or related to the terms, conditions and performance of this Agreement.

3.9 Price Later Agreement Settlement . In order to provide more space for receiving new crop corn, Co-op may deliver corn to Liberty that Co-op has obtained from a producer pursuant to a price later agreement between Co-op and the producer. On the day on which Co-op ships the corn to Liberty, Liberty will pay Co-op for corn obtained in this manner the Market Price on that day. The Parties will true-up the settlement price to the Market Price paid by Liberty for the corn on the first invoice issued following the date on which Co-op settles the price with the producer under such price later agreement. The settlement price shall be the actual Market Price paid to the producer by Co-op upon sale of corn by the producer. If the settlement price paid by Co-op is higher than the Market Price paid by Liberty, the difference will be credited to Liberty, and if the settlement price paid by Co-op is less than the Market Price paid by Liberty, the difference will be added to the amounts owed by Liberty.

ARTICLE IV

CORN QUANTITIES AND DELIVERIES

4.1 Minimum Storage Available . The Parties intend that Co-op will provide all storage for corn Originated and sold to Liberty under this Agreement, but Liberty acknowledges and agrees that Co-op will continue to use the Elevators to Originate, handle, store, sell and ship other commodities to other purchasers throughout the Term, and that the Origination, handling and storage of corn under this Agreement will be done in such manner as to reasonably accommodate and not impinge upon such marketing of other commodities. In furtherance of this understanding, the Parties agree that Co-op may limit total storage space in the Elevators available to Liberty to no more than 5 million bushels at any one time as necessary to accommodate the handling and storage of other commodities.

4.2 Delivery Schedules . Liberty will take delivery of the corn at the Elevators at Pigeon, Akron, Elkton, or Ruth, as the case may be, and Liberty will be responsible for paying transportation costs therefrom. Co-op is responsible to load trains, trucks or other modes of transportation at Co-op’s expense. Liberty may cause all corn to be shipped from the Elevators as and when it determines, provided that Liberty agrees to allow Co-op to core Elevator bins and

 

8


check the quality of the corn in accordance with the following: (i) each December Liberty will take delivery of at least 10% of its corn then in storage at an Elevator; and (ii) Liberty and Co-op will mutually agree on arrangements for deliveries to Liberty from April 1 through September 15 of each year of the amounts Co-op needs to ship from the Elevator to core the bins and check the quality of the corn. Prior to September 1 of each year, Liberty and Co-op will work together to determine what amounts of Liberty’s corn then in storage at the Elevators must be shipped to Liberty prior to September 15 of that year to provide Co-op sufficient storage capacity to receive deliveries of the upcoming harvest, with the Parties taking into account the quantity of corn Liberty will need to retain in storage to ensure it has adequate corn supplies in the following year and the quality of corn in storage. In the event Liberty and Co-op are not able to agree to a schedule of shipments to Liberty pursuant to this Section 4.1(a), Co-op’s judgment on the matter of clearing space for new crop harvest will prevail. In the event corn stored for Liberty threatens to go out of condition in an Elevator, Liberty agrees to cooperate with Co-op to take shipment of such corn as soon as practicable.

4.3 Title, Transportation and Risk of Loss . For all corn sold to Liberty pursuant to this Agreement, title will transfer from Co-o
