EXHIBIT 10.2 NEBRASKA NORTHEASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY INDUSTRY TRACK AGREEMENT THIS INDUSTRY TRACK AGREEMENT ("Agreement") made as of this 24th day of July, 2007, ("Effective Date") by and between NEBRASKA NORTHEASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY, a Nevada corporation ("Railroad"), and NEDAK ETHANOL, LLC, a Nebraska Limited Liability Company ("Industry"). WHEREAS, Industry desires to (i) construct and maintain railroad track on and over such rights and ownership as Railroad may have in certain real property in or near O'Neill, County of Holt, State of Nebraska as shown in heavy solid on Exhibit "A" and legally described on Exhibit "B" attached hereto and incorporated herein ("Railroad Track"); (ii) construct and maintain railroad track on and over certain real property to be leased by Industry, all as shown as heavy hatched on Exhibit "A" and legally described on Exhibit "B-1" ("Industry Track"); and WHEREAS, Industry desires that Railroad operate over the Railroad Track and the Industry Track (collectively, together with all appurtenances, called "Track"), to serve an ethanol transload facility operated by Industry in west O'Neill, County of Holt, State of Nebraska ("Transload Facility"), and Railroad desires to provide such service, subject to the terms of this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows: 1. OWNERSHIP. Railroad shall own the Railroad Track, and Industry shall own the Industry Track. Railroad hereby grants Industry, subject to all non-fee, underlying or reversionary interests, reservations, easements and other encumbrances, of record or otherwise, including the rights of the public, if any, in and to those portions of the property described on Exhibit "B" lying within boundaries of any public streets, alleys and thoroughfares, a non-exclusive easement to enter upon Railroad's real property to construct and maintain (but not to operate railroad locomotives, cars or trains) the Railroad Track pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 2. CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION. (a) Industry shall be responsible for obtaining, without expense to Railroad, all necessary real property rights and public authority and permission, including applicable permits, for the construction and maintenance of the Track hereunder. Industry shall strictly comply with all laws, statutes, regulations, ordinances, orders, covenants and restrictions, or decisions of any court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, those pertaining to environmental matters (collectively, "Legal Requirements") and other Railroad requirements relating to the use of the Track, Facilities or Equipment. (b) Industry shall at all times, and at its sole risk and expense, maintain, or cause to be maintained, the Track and all facilities and equipment (if any) thereon in a safe and satisfactory condition and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. Maintenance means, among other things, providing proper drainage along the relevant portion of the Track, expeditiously keeping the Track free and clear of snow, ice, vegetation, structures, and other 1
obstacles, maintaining grade crossing warning devices, passive warning signs, gates, fences, barriers, roadways, track drainage facilities, lighting and track and other signals. Industry shall assure that the Track complies with the conditions of the Conditional Use Permit issued by the City of O'Neill in connection with the construction of the Transload Facility. Without relieving Industry from any of its obligations under this Agreement, Railroad may refuse to operate over the Track or use or enter the Facilities or contact the Equipment whenever Railroad, in its sole discretion determines that the same is unsatisfactory for Railroad's operation, entry or contact. If and when Industry has remedied such condition to Railroad's sole satisfaction, railroad shall resume operation over the Track or use of or entry into the Facilities or contact with the Equipment. Railroad's operation over the Track or use of or entry into any Facility or contact with any Equipment with knowledge of an unsatisfactory condition is not a waiver of Industry's obligations contained herein or of Railroad's right to recover for or be indemnified and defended against such damages to property or injury to or death of persons that may result therefrom. (c) Industry shall, at its sole expense, pay all costs for changes, repairs or alterations to the Industry Track that may be necessary to conform to any alterations of grade or relocation of the Railroad Track at the point of connection with the Industry Track, if such alteration of grade or relocation is required to comply with any Legal Requirement or is made for any other reason beyond Railroad's reasonable control. Railroad shall provide Industry reasonable notice should any such changes, repairs or alterations be required to Industry Track. (d) If Industry installs any gates or fencing across the Industry Track, or a track scale, unloading pit, loading or unloading device, adjustable loading dock, warehouse door, or any other structure (collectively, "Facilities") affecting the Industry Track, Industry shall be solely responsible for assuring the safe and satisfactory condition of the same and shall not allow any Facilities to be a source of danger to the safe operation of the Industry Track. Industry shall also be solely responsible for assuring the safe and satisfactory condition of all of Industry's equipment touching, used in conjunction with or affecting the Industry Track ("Equipment") and shall now allow any Equipment to be source of danger to the safer operation of the Industry Track. Before utilizing or unloading any equipment spotted onto the Industry Track, Industry shall inspect the same and all other Equipment and Facilities for the safety of persons working on or about these items to assure compliance with the foregoing. Industry shall utilize all Facilities, Equipment and spotted equipment so as not to affect negatively safe and efficient operation over the Industry Track. Industry shall, among other things: keep any gates across the Industry Track open whenever necessary, in Railroad's reasonable judgment, to enable Railroad to safely and efficiently operate over the Industry Track; keep unloading pits securely covered when not in actual use and at all times when the Track is being switched by Railroad; keep all doors firmly secured; and keep adjustable loading docks at warehouses securely fastened in an upright position when not in actual use and at all times when the Industry Track is being switched by Railroad, (e) Railroad may require for safety purposes that Industry, at its sole cost and expense, provide flagmen, lights, traffic control devices, automatic warning devices, or any such safety measure that Railroad reasonably deems appropriate in connection with Railroad's operation over the Industry Track. In the event Railroad provides reasonable notice to Industry that such safety measures are required, and Industry does not provide such safety measures, then Industry shall reimburse Railroad within thirty (30) days of receipt of bill therefor for all costs 2
expended by Railroad, including but not limited to the reasonable cost of Railroad's Flagman in connection with this Section 2(e). (f) In the event the public authority having jurisdiction thereover orders the separation of the grade of the Industry Track and any street, road, highway, other rail line or the like, Industry will cause the removal and/or relocation of the Industry Track. In the event Industry does not cause such removal and/or relocation of the Industry Track, then Industry shall reimburse Railroad all expenses which Railroad incurs in connection with the required removal and/or relocation of the Industry Track. (g) Neither Railroad nor Industry shall place, permit to be placed, or allow to remain, any permanent or temporary material, structure, pole, container, storage vessel, above-ground or underground tank, or other obstruction within 8 1/2 feet laterally from the center (nine and one-half (9-1/2) feet on either side of the centerline of curved Track) or within 24 feet vertically from the top of the rail of said Track ("Minimal Clearances"), provided that if any Legal Requirement requires greater clearances than those provided for in this Section 2(g), then Railroad and Industry shall strictly comply with such Legal Requirement. Industry shall not place or allow to be placed any freight car within 250 feet of either side of any at-grade crossings on the Track. Railroad's operation over the Track with knowledge of an unauthorized reduced clearance will not be a waiver of the covenants of Industry contained in this Section 2(g) or of Railroad's right to recover and be indemnified and defended by Industry against such damages to property, or injury to or death of persons, that may result therefrom. (h) Upon termination of this Agreement, the Railroad Track shall be the sole property of Railroad without further cost or expense, and the Industry Track shall be the sole property of Industry without further cost or expense. 3. RAIL SERVICE (a) Railroad agrees, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, its tariffs, circulars, rules and rail transportation contracts, to operate over the Track in the delivery, placement and removal of railcars consigned to or ordered by Industry, at such times established by Railroad. Railroad may also use Industry Track for its own general or emergency operating purposes, so long as such purposes do not materially affect the use of the Industry Track for rail service to Industry, provided, further that such use shall not be as a common carrier subject to the entry or exit jurisdiction of the Surface Transportation Board pursuant to the ICC Termination Act or any other federal or state statute or regulation. (b) Industry shall not permit the use of the Industry Track by or for the account of third parties without the written consent of Railroad. If such use occurs without such consent, Industry assumes the same responsibilities, as stated in this Agreement for such use as if for its own account. Railroad shall not be required to provide rail service to such third parties. (c) Railroad shall be deemed to have delivered any railcar consigned to or ordered by Industry when such railcar has been placed at the Transload Facility, so as to allow access by Industry, and Railroad's locomotive has uncoupled from the railcar. At that time, Railroad shall be relieved of all liability as a carrier or as a bailee, and possession of the railcar and its contents 3
shall be transferred to Industry. Similarly, any obligation of Railroad as a carrier or as a bailee shall not begin until it has coupled its locomotive to the loaded railcar and departed the Transload facility. (d) Industry is responsible for all railcars and their contents while in Industry's possession and assumes all responsibility for payment of all damage to any rail and its contents that may occur during that time, even if caused by third parties. (e) If Railroad is unable to deliver a railcar at the Transload Facility for loading or unloading due to the acts of Industry or any third party, then such railcar will be considered as constructively placed for demurrage purposes at the time of attempted delivery. 4. TERM. Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, this Agreement will be in force for the term of five (5) years from the Effective Date, and will automatically continue thereafter until terminated by either party giving to the other thirty (30) days' written notice. 5.
