With respect to each Term Loan Advance, Borrower shall have complied with all procedures and conditions set forth in the Construction Lending Protocol for the Iowa Project on and as of the date of any request for such Term Loan Advance. With respect to each

Revolving Term Loan Advance, Borrower shall have complied with all procedures and conditions set forth in the Construction Lending Protocol for the Michigan Project on and as of the date of any request for such Revolving Term Loan Advance, except for those requirements described below, which shall be satisfied not later than March 15, 2007. Prior to March 15, 2007, each of the following requirements shall have been satisfied to the satisfaction of the Agent: (a) an endorsement to the Agent’s title insurance policy for the Michigan Project insuring the Borrower’s leasehold estate under that certain Lease dated May 16, 2005 from the Adrian & Blissfield Rail Road Company, as lessor, and Borrower, as lessee, as amended, subject only to such exceptions as are acceptable to the Agent in its reasonable discretion; (b) an amendment to the Lease referred to in requirement (a) above substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed by the Adrian & Blissfield Rail Road Company in favor of Borrower, which permits the lien of the Agent in the Lease referred to in requirement (a) above, clarifies the concept of “cessation of operations” in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Agent, and agrees to such other changes in the Lease as shall be reasonably requested by the Agent; and (c) a consent and non-disturbance agreement in favor of the Borrower, duly executed by any mortgagee of the Adrian & Blissfield Rail Road Company in form and content reasonably acceptable to the Agent. Failure of the Borrower to satisfy the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence by March 15, 2007 shall constitute a Matured Default under this Agreement.”
