     F. Whereas, AEHC has requested that the Letter of Intent be amended as provided herein.

 


 

     Now, therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

  4.   the nonrefundable $1,000,000 commitment fee paid by Amaizing Energy, LLC to Fagen on August 23, 2006 shall be applied toward the above referenced Letter of Intent contract price and shall not apply to any other project or agreement with which either Fagen or AEHC is associated;
 
  5.   Section 3(x)i. of the Letter of Intent, shall be amended and replaced in its entirety with the following:
