		Change Order dated December 31, 2008

Dear Jeff:

On March 3, 2009, Kiewit notified you of Aventine’s default of its payment obligations under the EPC Contract, as modified by the referenced Change Order. As of today’s date, Aventine has failed to cure this default.

By this letter, Kiewit notifies you of its termination of the Engineering, Procurement and Construction Services Fixed Price Contract between Kiewit Energy Company and Aventine Renewable Energy – Mt. Vernon, LLC dated May 31, 2007. The termination is effective March 6, 2009.

Nothing in this letter is intended to waive any right or remedy Kiewit Energy Company may have.

Please contact me if you would like to discuss the matter further.

Sincerely,

/s/ Mike Casey

Mike Casey

Vice President
