The Postpetition Loans shall mature and be due and payable in full at 12:00 p.m. (Minneapolis, Minnesota time) on the Maturity Date. The Postpetition Loans that are subsequently repaid may not be reborrowed. The Postpetition Commitment shall be reduced by the principal amount of the Advances when made. Prior to entry of the Final Order, the aggregate principal balance of the Postpetition Loans shall not exceed the Interim Amount (as defined in the Interim Order).

(b) Purpose of the Postpetition Loans.

(i) The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Advances solely (A) to pay off the Initial Postpetition Financing Facility, (B) to effect the “roll up” and conversion of an amount of Prepetition Indebtedness equal to the Roll-Up Amount to Postpetition Loans, (C) to make the Adequate Protection Payments, (D) the financing of the Borrower’s postpetition working capital and general corporate purposes in accordance with the DIP Budget (as such DIP Budget may be extended, varied, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the provisions hereof), (E) for compensation and payment of fees and expenses owed to the Postpetition Lender under the Postpetition Financing Documents, (F) for payment of the Borrower’s pro rata share, determined based on the Borrower’s nameplate production capacity divided by the aggregate nameplate capacity of all Debtors (excluding VeraSun Janesville, LLC, VeraSun ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC, and VeraSun Welcome, LLC) (“Borrower’s Allocated Share”), of the general, administrative, and overhead expenses of all of the Debtors other than VeraSun Marketing, LLC, and (G) prior to the occurrence of the Carve-Out Date, to pay the Borrower’s Allocated Share of the Professional Fees set forth in the DIP Budget, which payments after the Carve-Out Date shall be pursuant and subject to the Carve-Out.

(ii) Except as otherwise permitted by the Orders, no amount of the Advances may be used directly or indirectly by the Borrower or any of the other Debtors, any Committee or any other person or entity to (A) object to or contest in any manner the Postpetition Obligations, the Postpetition Liens, the Prepetition Indebtedness, the Prepetition Liens, or Liens granted to the Prepetition Agent hereunder or under the Orders, (B) assert or prosecute any actions, claims or causes of action (including any claims or causes of action under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code) against any of the Postpetition Lender, the Prepetition Lenders or the Prepetition Agent, (C) seek authorization for any party to use any of the Cash Collateral of the Postpetition Lender without the consent of the Postpetition Lender, (D) pay any expenses of VeraSun Marketing, LLC, (E) obtain Liens that are senior to, or on a parity with, or junior to the Liens of the Postpetition Lender or the Prepetition Agent in the Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral of the Borrower, as applicable, or any portion thereof, or (F) obtain Liens that are senior to, or on a parity with, or junior to the Liens of the Postpetition Lender in the Collateral of the Guarantor or any portion thereof.

(c) Conditions Precedent to Advances. In addition to the other Conditions Precedent set forth in this Agreement, the Postpetition Lender’s obligation to make each Advance shall be subject to the following further conditions precedent:

(i) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of each Advance to the same extent and with the same effect as if made at and as of the date thereof, except as disclosed in writing to the Postpetition Lender, and except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to a specific earlier date in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date;

(ii) No Defaults. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(iii) Government Action. No license, permit, permission or authority necessary for the operation of the Project has been revoked or challenged by or before any Governmental Authority, which revocation or challenge could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Making the Advances. Each Advance shall be made by the Borrower delivering a Request for Advance to the Postpetition Lender specifying the amount of such Advance. Each Request for Advance must be delivered to the Postpetition Lender by the Borrower before 12:00 P.M. (Minneapolis, Minnesota time) on a Business Day which is at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such Advance; provided however that no such Advance shall be made while an Event of Default exists or if the interest rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan would exceed the Maximum Rate. Any Request for Advance received by the Postpetition Lender after 12:00 P.M. (Minneapolis, Minnesota time) on a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received and be effective on the next Business Day. The amount of the Advance requested from the Postpetition Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower by: (i) depositing the same, in same day funds, in an account of the Borrower; (ii) wire transferring such funds to a Person or Persons designated by the Borrower in writing; or (iii) with respect to Advances to pay off the Initial Postpetition Financing Facility, paying the Proceeds of such Advances directly to the Postpetition Lender. With respect to the “roll up” and conversion of the amounts of Prepetition Indebtedness to Postpetition Loans specified in Section 2.01(b)(i)(B), an Advance shall be reflected on the books of the Postpetition Lender and credited on the books of the Prepetition Agent.

(e) Requests for Advances Irrevocable. Each Request for Advance shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and the Borrower shall indemnify the Postpetition Lender against any loss or expense it may incur pursuant to Section 2.11 as a result of any failure to borrow any Advance after a Request for Advance, including any failure resulting from the failure to fulfill on or before the date specified for such Advance the applicable conditions set forth herein.

(f) Minimum Amounts. Each Advance shall be in an amount of not less than Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00).

(g) Interest Rate.

(i) The Advances shall bear interest at a rate equal to twelve percent (12%) plus the greater of (x) the LIBOR Rate or (y) three percent (3.0%).

(ii) The rate of interest due hereunder shall initially be determined as of the date of the initial Advance and shall thereafter be adjusted on the first day of the immediately succeeding calendar month and the first day of each month thereafter (each an “Adjustment Date”). All such adjustments to said rate shall be made and become effective as of each subsequent Adjustment Date, and said rate as adjusted shall remain in effect until and including the day immediately preceding the next Adjustment Date. Interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty five (365) days, but charged for actual days principal is outstanding. In no event shall the applicable rate exceed the Maximum Rate.

(h) Payment of Interest; Repayment of the Postpetition Loans. The Borrower will pay interest on the Postpetition Loans on each Monthly Payment Date, commencing on the first Monthly Payment Date following the date on which an Advance is made, and continuing on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter until the Maturity Date. The Borrower authorizes the Postpetition Lender to charge to the Postpetition Loan in an amount equal to any interest payment not made when due. On the Maturity Date, the amount of the then unpaid principal balance of the Postpetition Loan and any and all other amounts due and owing hereunder or under any other Postpetition Financing Document relating to the Postpetition Loan shall be due and payable.

(i) Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time prior to the repayment in full of all Postpetition Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), including subsequent to the confirmation of any Chapter 11 plan with respect to the Borrower, the Borrower, any trustee, any examiner with expanded powers or any responsible officer subsequently appointed, shall (i) obtain credit or incur debt pursuant to sections 364(b), 364(c), or 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code in violation of the terms of this Agreement or the Orders, (ii) receive proceeds from a Disposition of Collateral (including a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower), or (iii) suffer an Event of Loss, then all of the net cash proceeds derived from such credit, debt, or Net Proceeds derived from such Disposition or Event of Loss shall, within two (2) Business Days, and with respect to the proceeds of the Collateral of the Guarantor subject to Section 7.4 of the Postpetition Pledge Agreement, be paid to the Postpetition Lender for reduction of the Postpetition Obligations under this Agreement. After all the Postpetition Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid and satisfied in full and the Postpetition Commitment terminated, and after the Carve Out and all of the Prepetition Indebtedness has been paid and satisfied in full, any remaining proceeds of Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the Orders or any other applicable court order or delivered to the Person entitled thereto as directed by the Borrower or as otherwise determined by applicable law.

Section 2.02. Evidence of Debt. The extension of credit made by the Postpetition Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Postpetition Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Postpetition Lender shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of the credit extensions made by the Postpetition Lender to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Postpetition Obligations. Upon the termination of the Postpetition Commitment and repayment of all Postpetition Obligations hereunder, the Postpetition Lender shall, at the request of the Borrower (and at the Borrower’s expense), return to the Borrower the Postpetition Note evidencing the Postpetition Loans marked “cancelled.”

Section 2.03. Changes in Law Rendering Certain LIBOR Rate Loans Unlawful. In the event that any change in any applicable law (including the adoption of any new applicable law) or any change in the interpretation of any applicable law by any judicial, governmental or other regulatory body charged with the interpretation, implementation or administration thereof, should make it (or in the good-faith judgment of the Postpetition Lender should raise a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for the Postpetition Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Rate Loans, then: (a) the Postpetition Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower; and (b) the obligation of the Postpetition Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans of such type shall, upon the effectiveness of such event, be suspended for the duration of such unlawfulness. During the period of any suspension, the Postpetition Lender shall make loans to the Borrower that are deemed lawful and that as closely as possible reflect the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.04. Payments and Computations.

(a) Method of Payment. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under the Postpetition Financing Documents shall be made to the Postpetition Lender in dollars and in immediately available funds, subject to Section 2.17, without set-off, deduction, or counterclaim, including all payment or withholdings for taxes, imposts, assessments, or other withholdings or deductions whatsoever, not later than 12:00 P.M. (Minneapolis, Minnesota time) on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). The Borrower shall, at the time of making each such payment, specify to the Postpetition Lender the sums payable hereunder to which such payment is to be applied and in the event that the Borrower fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default exists, or if such payment is made in respect of a mandatory prepayment as set forth in Section 2.01(i) which has not yet been made, the Postpetition Lender may subject to Section 2.04(d), apply such payment and proceeds of any Collateral to the Postpetition Obligations in such order and manner as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(b) Application of Funds. The Postpetition Lender may apply all payments received from the Guarantor or any other guarantor for the benefit of the Borrower to the Postpetition Obligations in such order and manner as the Postpetition Lender may elect in its sole discretion; provided that any payments received from any guarantor or from any disposition of any Collateral provided by such guarantor shall only be applied against obligations guaranteed by such guarantor.

(c) Payments on a Non-Business Day. Whenever any payment under any Postpetition Financing Document shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of interest and fees, as the case may be.

(d) Proceeds of Collateral. All proceeds received by the Postpetition Lender from the sale or other liquidation of the Collateral by the Postpetition Lender, when an Event of Default exists or a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.01(i) is required, shall first be applied as payment of the accrued and unpaid fees and expenses of the Postpetition Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), including under Section 7.04, and then to all other unpaid or unreimbursed Postpetition Obligations, until the Postpetition Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full or cash collateralized. After all the Postpetition Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid and satisfied in full and the Postpetition Commitment terminated, and after the Carve Out and all of the Prepetition Indebtedness has been paid and satisfied in full, any remaining proceeds of Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the Orders or any other applicable court order or delivered to the Person entitled thereto as directed by the Borrower or as otherwise determined by applicable law.

(e) Computations. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, all computations of interest and fees shall be made on the basis of actual number of days lapsed over a year of three hundred sixty five (365) days, as appropriate. Interest shall accrue from and include the date of borrowing, but exclude the date of payment.

Section 2.05. Default Interest. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents: (a) if the Borrower fails to make any payment to the Postpetition Lender when due, then at the Postpetition Lender’s option in each instance upon notice to the Borrower, the overdue Postpetition Obligations shall bear interest from the date due to the date paid at two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the rate of interest that would otherwise be applicable to the Postpetition Obligation; (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default beyond any applicable cure

period, if any, at the Postpetition Lender’s option in each instance upon notice to the Borrower, the unpaid principal balances of the Postpetition Loans shall bear interest from the date of the Event of Default or such later date as the Postpetition Lender shall elect at two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the rate(s) of interest that would otherwise be in effect on the Postpetition Loans under the terms of this Agreement; (c) after the maturity of any Postpetition Loan, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, the unpaid principal balance of the Postpetition Loan (including principal, interest, fees and expenses) shall automatically bear interest at two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the rate of interest that would otherwise be in effect on the Postpetition Loan under the terms of this Agreement. Interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand or, if not sooner demanded, on the applicable Monthly Payment Date.

Section 2.06 Super-Priority Nature of Obligations and Liens. All Postpetition Obligations shall at all times, subject the Carve-Out:

(a) constitute, under section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, allowed superpriority administrative expense claims against the Borrower and the Guarantor having priority over all administrative expenses of the kind specified in, or ordered pursuant to, any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, including those specified in, or ordered pursuant to, sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 365, 503(b), 507(a), 507(b), 546(c), 726 and 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise (whether incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases or following any conversion thereof to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other proceeding related hereto or thereto), which superpriority claims shall, subject to the Carve-Out, be payable from and have recourse to all prepetition and postpetition property of the Borrower, the Guarantor and all proceeds thereof.

(b) be secured by valid, binding, enforceable, perfected Priming Liens in the Collateral and the Prepetition Collateral, which (i) shall constitute first priority liens in and to all otherwise unencumbered Collateral and Prepetition Collateral pursuant to section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) shall (A) be senior to and prime the Prepetition Liens and any other Primed Liens pursuant to section 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (iii) shall be immediately junior in priority to any and all Non-Primed Liens, pursuant to section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 2.07. Survival of Claims. The (a) Postpetition Obligations shall survive the entry of an order (i) confirming any Chapter 11 plan in the Borrower’s Chapter 11 Case, (ii) converting the Borrower’s Chapter 11 Case to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) dismissing the Borrower’s Chapter 11 Case, and (b) the superpriority administrative claims granted relating to the Postpetition Obligations and all Postpetition Liens granted to the Postpetition Lender shall continue in full force and effect and maintain their respective priority as set forth in the Orders until the payment in full of the Postpetition Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made).

Section 2.08. Waiver of any Priming Rights. Other than the Carve-Out or as otherwise provided in the Orders, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any right, pursuant to sections 364(c) or 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, to grant any Lien that is greater, equal or junior in priority to the Postpetition Liens securing the Postpetition Obligations, or to approve or grant a claim of equal or superior priority than the Postpetition Obligations, in and on all now existing and hereafter acquired assets of any kind or nature of the Borrower.

Section 2.09. Maximum Rate Limitation. Anything in this Agreement, any Postpetition Note, or the other Postpetition Financing Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not be required to pay unearned interest on any Postpetition Note or any of the Postpetition Obligations, or ever be required to pay interest on any Postpetition Note or any of the Postpetition Obligations at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, if any. If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise be payable under

this Agreement, any Postpetition Note or any of the other Postpetition Financing Documents would exceed the Maximum Rate, then the rate of interest which would otherwise be contracted for, charged, or received under this Agreement, any Postpetition Note or any of the other Postpetition Financing Documents shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate. If any unearned interest or discount or property that is deemed to constitute interest (including to the extent that any of the fees payable by the Borrower for the Postpetition Obligations to the Postpetition Lender under this Agreement, any Postpetition Note, or any of the other Postpetition Financing Documents are deemed to constitute interest) is contracted for, charged, or received in excess of the Maximum Rate, then such interest in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed a mistake and canceled, shall not be collected or collectible, and if paid nonetheless, shall, at the option of the holder of such Postpetition Note, be either refunded to the Borrower, or credited on the principal of such Postpetition Note. It is further agreed that, without limitation of the foregoing and to the extent permitted by applicable law, all calculations of the rate of interest or discount contracted for, charged or received by the Postpetition Lender under their Postpetition Note, or under any of the Postpetition Financing Documents, that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Maximum Rate applicable to the Postpetition Lender, if any, shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable laws (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading during the period of the full terms of the Postpetition Loans evidenced by the Postpetition Note, and any renewals thereof, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the Postpetition Lender in connection therewith. This Section 2.09 shall control every other provision of all agreements among the parties to this Agreement pertaining to the transactions contemplated by or contained in the Postpetition Financing Documents, and the terms of this Section 2.09 shall be deemed to be incorporated in every Postpetition Financing Document and communication related thereto.

Section 2.10. [Reserved.]

Section 2.11. Compensation. Upon the request of the Postpetition Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Postpetition Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Postpetition Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits incurred by it) as a result of: (a) any payment, prepayment, or conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan for any reason on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for the Postpetition Loan; or (b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including the failure of any condition precedent specified in Section 3.01 to be satisfied) to borrow, extend, or prepay a LIBOR Rate Loan on the date for such borrowing, extension, or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of borrowing, extension or prepayment under this Agreement. Such indemnification may include any amount equal to the excess, if any, of: (y) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed or extended, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow or extend to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or in the case of a failure to borrow or extend, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such loan as provided for herein, over (z) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by the Postpetition Lender), which would have accrued to the Postpetition Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) market. The covenants of the Borrower set forth in this Section 2.11 shall survive the repayment of the Postpetition Loan and other obligations under the Postpetition Financing Documents.

Section 2.12. Prepayment of Postpetition Loan. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Postpetition Lender or such shorter notice period as may be agreed to by the Postpetition Lender, prepay the outstanding amount of the Postpetition Loans in whole or in part with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, without penalty or premium. Any prepayment under this Agreement shall not otherwise affect the Borrower’s obligation to pay any fees due under this Agreement.

Section 2.13. Commitment Fee; Administration Fee.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Postpetition Lender on the Closing Date a commitment fee equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Postpetition Commitment less the Roll Up Amount. The Borrower authorizes the Postpetition Lender to charge to the Postpetition Loan in an amount equal to such fee. Such fee shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when paid.

(b) Administration Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Postpetition Lender on the Closing Date a loan administration fee equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) of the aggregate Postpetition Commitment less the Roll-Up Amount. The Borrower authorizes the Postpetition Lender to charge the Postpetition Loan in an amount equal to such fee. Such fee shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when paid.

Section 2.14. Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay the Postpetition Lender, as long as it shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency liabilities (as defined in Regulation D), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan of the Postpetition Lender equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Postpetition Loan by the Postpetition Lender (as determined by the Postpetition Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Postpetition Loan, provided that the Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of such additional interest from the Postpetition Lender. If the Postpetition Lender fails to give written notice ten (10) days prior to the last day of the relevant Interest Period, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such written notice.

Section 2.15. Commitment Termination. The Borrower may terminate the Postpetition Commitment at any time upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Postpetition Lender or shorter notice period agreed to by the Postpetition Lender, provided, that such notice shall not terminate any Postpetition Obligations of the Borrower under any Postpetition Financing Document.

Section 2.16. Effect of Termination. On the effective date of any termination of the entire outstanding Postpetition Commitment pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 6.02 (but not pursuant to a reduction due to the borrowing of Advances in the full amount of the Postpetition Commitment), all Postpetition Obligations shall be immediately due and payable. All undertakings of the Borrower contained in the Postpetition Financing Documents shall survive any termination (subject to Section 7.11), and the Postpetition Lender shall retain its Priming Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Postpetition Financing Documents until payment in full of the Postpetition Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made). The provisions of Section 2.16 shall survive payment in full of the Postpetition Obligations.

Section 2.17. Withholding Taxes.

(a) All payments by the Borrower of amounts payable under any Postpetition Financing Document shall be payable without deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, or other charges levied or imposed by any governmental authority through withholding or deduction with respect to any such payments (but excluding (i) any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or profit of a Postpetitition Lender (which such term shall include for purposes of Section 2.17 and 2.18 a participant) and

(ii) any branch profits tax imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located) (all such taxes, duties or other charges, giving effect to the taxes excluded pursuant to the foregoing parenthetical herein the “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower shall make additional payments in such amounts so that every net payment of amounts payable by them under any Postpetition Financing Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes, will be equal to the amount provided for herein or therein; provided that the Borrower may withhold to the extent required by law and shall have no obligation to pay such additional amounts to any Postpetition Lender to the extent that such Non-Excluded Taxes are (i) levied or imposed by reason of the failure or inability of such Postpetition Lender to comply with the provisions of Section 2.18, (ii) United States withholding taxes, except to the extent resulting from a change in law occurring after such Postpetition Lender becomes a party to the Postpetition Financing Documents or designates a new lending office for receipt of amounts hereunder, except to the extent its predecessor or prior lending office was entitled, at the time of such assignment or designation, to such additional amounts under this Section 2.17, (iii) backup withholding taxes under Section 3406 of the Code or (iv) taxes (including penalties or interest) that are attributable to a Postpetition Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Borrower shall furnish promptly to the Postpetition Lender for distribution to each participant, as the case may be, official receipts evidencing any such withholding or reduction.

(b) Refund. If any Postpetition Lender determines that it has received a refund of any taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional m ounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the AgStar Financial Services, PCA (for purposes of Sections 2.17 and 2.18 the “Agent”) or such Postpetition Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund).

Section 2.18. Withholding Tax Exemption.

(a) Each Postpetition Lender that is not incorporated or organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (a “Non-U.S. Postpetition Lender”) agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing Date (or, in the case of an assignee, on the date of assignment) two duly completed copies of either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W8-ECI, ▇-▇ ▇▇▇, ▇-▇ IMY, other withholding form and/or certificate (and/or any applicable successor form or certificates), certifying in either case that such Non-U.S. Postpetition Lender is entitled to receive payments from the Borrower under any Postpetition Financing Document without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. In the case of a Non-U.S. Postpetition Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(s) of the Code, with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, it will deliver to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing Date (or, in the case of an assignee, on the date of assignment) two Forms W-8 (and/or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Postpetition Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under the Postpetition Financing Documents, along with a certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrower and the Agent, establishing that such Non-U.S. Postpetition Lender is entitled to the portfolio interest exemption. Each other Postpetition Lender agrees to deliver to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing Date and an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement (unless the respective Postpetition Lender was already a Postpetition Lender under immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Postpetition Lender, one or more accurate and complete original signed copies (as the Borrower or Postpetition Lender may reasonably request) of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be. Each

Postpetition Lender which so delivers any form described in this Section 2.18(a) further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower two (2) additional copies of such form on or before the date such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, in each case certifying that such Postpetition Lender is entitled to receive payments from the Borrower under any Postpetition Financing Document without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including any change in treaty, law, or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Postpetition Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Postpetition Lender advises the Borrower that it is not capable of receiving such payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(b) A Postpetition Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided, that such Postpetition Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation if in such Postpetition Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Postpetition Lender.

(c) If the form provided by a Postpetition Lender at the time such Postpetition Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a U.S. interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until such Postpetition Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered excluded from Non-Excluded Taxes only for periods governed by such form.

(d) If the Agent assigns less than its entire interest in the Postpetition Loans or grants one or more participations in the Postpetition Loans, then the Agent shall act as withholding and reporting agent for income tax purposes with respect to payments made to such assignee(s) or participant(s). Any such assignees shall provide copies of all withholding forms to Borrower and the Agent. Any such participants shall provide copies of all withholding forms to the Agent and, if such participants have direct rights against the Borrower, to the Borrower.

(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Postpetition Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Postpetition Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Postpetition Lender shall have made any demand under such Postpetition Financing Document and although deposits, indebtedness or such obligations may be unmatured or contingent.

Upon the request of the Borrower, the Postpetition Lender shall provide copies of all invoices for costs and expenses to be reimbursed by Borrower under this Agreement or under any of the Postpetition Financing Documents. The Postpetition Lender may sell or assign to a single Person all of its rights in the Postpetition Loans without the consent of the Borrower; provided however that, the Postpetition Lender shall provide Notice to Borrower with the name and address of such transferee. Except as provided in Section 7.07(b), the Postpetition Lender shall not sell all of its rights in the Postpetition Loans to multiple Persons without the consent of the Borrower.

(b) The Borrower agrees and consents to Postpetition Lender’s sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation interests in the Postpetition Loans to one or more purchasers, whether related or unrelated to Postpetition Lender. The Postpetition Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or knowledge the Postpetition Lender may have about the Borrower or about any other matter relating to the Postpetition Loans, and the Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy it may have with respect to such matters; provided, however, that any information received by any such purchaser or potential purchaser under this provision which concerns the personal, financial or other affairs of the Borrower shall be received and kept by the purchaser or potential purchaser in full confidence and will not be revealed to any other Person nor used for any purpose whatsoever other than for determining whether or not to participate in the Postpetition Loans and in accord with the rights of the Postpetition Lender if a participation interest is acquired. The Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of such participation interest. The Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of any such participation interests will be considered as the absolute owners of the participation interests in the Postpetition Loans and will have all the rights granted under the participation agreement or agreements governing the sale of such participation interests. The Borrower further waives all rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against the Postpetition Lender or against any purchaser of such a participation interest arising out of or by virtue of the participation and unconditionally agrees that the Postpetition Lender may enforce the Borrower’s obligation under the Postpetition Loans irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder of any interests in the Postpetition Loans.

(c) The Postpetition Lender acting for these purposes on behalf of the Borrower shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the assignees, transferees and participants and principal amounts of the Postpetition Loans owing to each such Person from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, Postpetition Lender, assignees and participants shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Postpetition Loans and any Postpetition Note evidencing such Postpetition Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Borrower shall be entitled to inspect the Register and receive copies thereof upon reasonable written notice.

Section 7.08. Consent to Jurisdiction. All parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Postpetition Financing Documents, and each party hereby agrees that claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court. Each party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding.

Section 7.09. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF), AND, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

Section 7.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and on telecopy counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

Section 7.11. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Postpetition Financing Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Postpetition Financing Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Postpetition Financing Documents and the making of any Advances, until repayment of the Postpetition Obligations and termination of the Postpetition Commitment. The expense reimbursement, additional cost, capital adequacy and indemnification provisions of this Agreement shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Postpetition Obligations, and the Postpetition Commitment or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. This Agreement shall terminate on the date on which all Postpetition Obligations then due and owing have been paid in full and the Postpetition Commitment has been terminated, except that (a) those provisions which by the express terms thereof continue in effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, and (b) the Postpetition Obligations in the nature of continuing indemnities not yet due and payable, shall continue in effect.

Section 7.12. Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Postpetition Lender and each of its affiliates and each director, officer, employee, agent and representative thereof and any holder of an interests in the Postpetition Loans (each, an “indemnified person”) against, and to reimburse each indemnified person, upon its demand, for, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and other expenses (collectively, “Losses”) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against such indemnified person, in each case insofar as such Losses arise out of or in any way relate to or result from any aspect of the Postpetition Loan or Postpetition Financing Documents and any of the other transactions contemplated thereby, or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds thereof, including Losses consisting of legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or participating in any investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing; provided that,

the foregoing indemnity will not apply to any Losses to the extent (i) they are determined in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person, or (ii) they relate to (A) income, capital and similar taxes of the indemnified party (except as a result of an indemnification payment) and (B) taxes that are the subject matter of Section 2.17 and 2.18 (except for withholding taxes on an indemnification payment). In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, its equity holders or creditors or an indemnified person, whether or not an indemnified person is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any aspect of the Postpetition Loan is consummated. In addition, should any indemnified person be involved (whether as party, witness or otherwise) in any investigation, litigation or proceeding in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Borrower agrees to compensate such indemnified party in an amount equal to its customary and reasonable out of pocket expenses involved in the preparation, discovery proceedings or testimony pertaining to any such investigation, litigation or proceedings. The Borrower also agrees that no indemnified person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or to its equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the Postpetition Loan or Postpetition Financing Documents, except for direct, as opposed to consequential, damages determined in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such indemnified person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. No indemnified person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized Persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such Persons or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Postpetition Loan.

THE COURT HEREBY FINDS:

A. On October 31, 2008 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Debtor is continuing in the management and possession of its business and properties as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Chapter 11 Cases of the Debtors are being jointly administered under Case No. 08 — 12606 (BLS).

B. The Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware (the “US Trustee”) has appointed a statutory committee of unsecured creditors in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to section 1102(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Committee”).

C. No request has been made for the appointment of a trustee or examiner in the Chapter 11 Cases.

D. This Court has jurisdiction over this proceeding and the parties and property affected hereby pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2). Venue is proper before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

E. Notice of the relief sought by the Motion and the Interim Hearing was delivered via facsimile, electronic mail, and/or overnight delivery to the following: (i) the U.S. Trustee; (ii) those parties listed on the Consolidated List of Creditors Holding Largest Thirty Unsecured Claims Against the Debtors, as identified in connection with the Debtors’ chapter 11 petitions; (iii) all other parties with liens of record on assets of the Borrower as of the Petition Date; (iv) counsel to the Postpetition Lender and the Prepetition Agent; (v) counsel to the Committee, and (vi) all parties who have requested notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. Given the nature of the relief sought in the Motion, the Court concludes that the foregoing notice was sufficient and adequate under the circumstances and complies with Bankruptcy Rule 4001 in all respects for purposes of entering this Interim Order.

F. Subject to Paragraph 30 below, the Debtors acknowledge, admit and confirm the following as of the Petition Date:

1. Pursuant to the Prepetition Credit Agreement, the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders made certain loans, advances and other financial accommodations, and provided for the issuance of letters of credit, to the Borrower to fund, among other things, the construction of the Project (as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement) and the operations of the Borrower.

2. Pursuant to the Prepetition Credit Agreement and other Prepetition Financing Documents, the Borrower was, as of the Petition Date, indebted to the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders for the aggregate principal amount of the Prepetition Indebtedness (as defined below) of at least $77,134,414.83 (including, among other things, issued and outstanding letters of credit, but excluding accrued but unpaid interest, costs, fees and expenses).

3. Pursuant to a Continuing Guaranty dated as of February 7, 2007, the Guarantor guaranteed the payment and performance of the Prepetition Indebtedness. Such guaranty continues in full force and effect notwithstanding any financing or financial accommodations provided by the Postpetition Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Postpetition Financing Documents.

4. For purposes of this Interim Order, the term “Prepetition Indebtedness” shall mean and include, without duplication, any and all amounts owing or outstanding by the Borrower or the Guarantor under the Prepetition Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, all “Loan Obligations” as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement) or any other Prepetition Financing Document, interest on, fees and other costs, expenses and charges owing in respect of, such amounts (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’, accountants’, financial advisors’ and other fees and

expenses that are chargeable or reimbursable pursuant to the Prepetition Credit Agreement or any other Prepetition Financing Document), and any and all obligations and liabilities, contingent or otherwise, owed in respect of the letters of credit or other Loan Obligations outstanding thereunder.

5. Pursuant to certain security agreements, deposit account control agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, collateral assignments of contracts and other documents and agreements (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively, the “Prepetition Security Documents”), and the other Prepetition Financing Documents including any promissory notes, the Borrower granted first priority Liens and continuing pledges and security interests in all of the Prepetition Collateral (as hereinafter defined) to and/or for the benefit of the Prepetition Agent and Prepetition Lenders to secure the Prepetition Indebtedness (collectively, the “Prepetition Liens”). For purposes of this Interim Order, the term “Prepetition Collateral” shall refer to (i) all of the Borrower’s personal property upon which a security interest may be granted under the Uniform Commercial Code, (ii) all of the Borrower’s real property, (iii) all of the Borrower’s assets in or upon which a lien or other security interest has otherwise been granted in favor or for the benefit of the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders in connection with, pursuant to, or under, the Prepetition Credit Agreement and the other Prepetition Financing Documents, and (iv) any of the Borrower’s assets otherwise held by the Prepetition

Agent or any Prepetition Lender or otherwise provided to the Prepetition Agent or any Prepetition Lender as security for the Prepetition Indebtedness, in each case that existed as of the Petition Date or at any time prepetition and, subject to section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code, postpetition proceeds, products, offspring, rents and profits of all of the foregoing.

6. The Prepetition Financing Documents to which the Borrower is a party are valid and binding agreements and obligations of the Borrower and the Prepetition Financing Documents to which the Guarantor is a party are valid and binding agreements and obligations of the Guarantor, and the Prepetition Liens (i) constitute valid, binding, enforceable and perfected first priority security interests and liens, subject only to the Permitted Liens (as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement), but only to the extent such Permitted Liens are valid, enforceable, non-avoidable liens and security interests that are perfected prior to the Petition Date (or perfected after the Petition Date to the extent permitted by Section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), which are not subject to avoidance, reduction, disallowance, impairment or subordination pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law and which are senior in priority to the Prepetition Liens under applicable law and after giving effect to any applicable subordination or intercreditor agreements, and (ii) are not subject to avoidance, reduction, disallowance, impairment or subordination pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law.

7. (i) The Prepetition Indebtedness constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms; (ii) no objection, offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind or nature to the Prepetition Indebtedness exists, and the Borrower or the Guarantor shall not assert any claim, counterclaim, setoff or defense of any kind, nature or description that would in any way affect the validity, enforceability and non-avoidability of any of the Prepetition Indebtedness; and (iii) the Prepetition Indebtedness and any amounts previously paid to the Prepetition Agent or any Prepetition Lender on account thereof or with respect thereto, are not subject to avoidance, reduction, disallowance, impairment or subordination pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law.

8. The Prepetition Agent (on its behalf and on behalf of the Prepetition Lenders) holds properly perfected security interests and Liens in and on the Prepetition Collateral by the filing of UCC-1 financing statements, mortgages and other required documents against the Borrower and such Prepetition Collateral with the proper state and county offices for the perfection of such security interests and Liens.

Subject to the limitations specified in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ of the foregoing acknowledgments or agreements by the Debtors contained in this Paragraph shall be binding on the Debtors’ estates, the Committee or any other party (other than the Debtors) and

shall not affect or limit the rights of the Committee or any other party (other than the Debtors) to assert, pursue or otherwise allege any Claims and Defenses (as hereinafter defined) against the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Interim Order.

G. On December 4, 2008, the Court entered an Order (I) Authorizing Debtors to Obtain Postpetition Financing, (II) Granting Liens and Superpriority Claims to Postpetition Lender, (III) Authorizing Use of Cash Collateral, (IV) Providing Adequate Protection to Prepetition Lenders and (V) Scheduling Final Hearing (VeraSun Central City, LLC) (the “Initial Final Financing Order”). The Initial Final Financing Order authorized the Borrower to borrow up to $4,500,000 in funds (the “Initial Postpetition Financing Facility”). The Initial Postpetition Financing Facility matures by its terms on January 15, 2009.

H. An immediate and critical need exists for the Borrower to obtain funds and use cash collateral to maintain and preserve the value of its assets after January 15, 2009. However, the use of “cash collateral,” as defined by section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and including any and all prepetition and, subject to section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code, postpetition proceeds of the Prepetition Collateral (“Cash Collateral”), alone would be insufficient to meet the Borrower’s immediate postpetition liquidity needs. The Borrower is unable to obtain the required funds (i) in the forms of (w) unsecured credit or debt allowable under section 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, (x) an administrative expense pursuant to section 364(a) or (b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (y) unsecured debt having the priority afforded by section 364(c)(l) of the Bankruptcy Code or (z) debt secured only as described in section 364(c)(2) or (3) of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) on terms more favorable than those offered by the Postpetition Lender under the Postpetition Credit

Agreement, the Postpetition Guaranty, this Interim Order and all other agreements, documents, notes or instruments delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith, including, without limitation, the DIP Budget (as defined in the Postpetition Credit Agreement) and the collateral documents described in the Postpetition Credit Agreement (collectively with the Postpetition Credit Agreement, the Postpetition Guaranty, this Interim Order and the Final Order, the “Postpetition Financing Documents”).

I. The Postpetition Lender is unwilling to commit to extend the DIP Financing described herein unless the Prepetition Lenders listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “Participating Prepetition Lenders”) are willing to participate in the DIP Financing in the commitment amounts listed opposite their names on Exhibit A hereto. The fees and interest rate described in the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the roll up and conversion into Postpetition Loans of a portion of the Prepetition Indebtedness due to each Participating Prepetition Lender by the Borrower in an amount equal to such Participating Prepetition Lender’s commitment set forth on Exhibit A hereto are all necessary to induce the Participating Prepetition Lenders to participate in, and for the Postpetition Lender to extend, the DIP Financing.

J. The Prepetition Agent is prepared to consent to the Borrower’s use of the Prepetition Agents’ Cash Collateral and the granting of the Postpetition Liens (as hereinafter defined) in the Prepetition Collateral solely on the terms and conditions set forth in this Interim Order, including the approval and payment of the Adequate Protection Payments and the granting of the Adequate Protection Claims and Adequate Protection Liens (each as defined herein). The adequate protection provided herein to the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders and other benefits and privileges contained herein are consistent with and authorized by the Bankruptcy Code and are necessary to obtain the consent or non-objection of such parties.

K. The Debtors have requested that, pursuant to the terms of the Postpetition Financing Documents, the Postpetition Lender make loans and advances and provide other financial accommodations to the Borrower, and that the Prepetition Agent consent to the use of its Cash Collateral, to be used by the Borrower solely in accordance with the terms of the Postpetition Financing Documents. The ability of the Borrower maximize the value of its assets depends upon the Borrower obtaining such financing and using such Cash Collateral. The Postpetition Lender is only willing to extend the DIP Financing on a superpriority and first priority secured basis and with the “roll up” of the Rolled Up Indebtedness pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Postpetition Financing Documents. The Borrower’s and the Guarantor’s entry into the Postpetition Financing Documents is fair and reasonable and is a sound, prudent exercise of their respective business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties. The loans and advances provided for in the Postpetition Financing Documents constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration. Consummation of the DIP Financing and the “roll up” of the Rolled Up Indebtedness in accordance with the Postpetition Financing Documents and this Interim Order is, therefore, in the best interests of the Debtors’ estates.

L. Based on the record before the Court, (i) the terms of the use of the Prepetition Lenders’ Cash Collateral as provided in this Interim Order and (ii) the terms of the Postpetition Financing Documents, pursuant to which the postpetition loans, advances and other credit and financial accommodations will be made or provided to the Borrower by the Postpetition Lender, have been negotiated

at arms’ length and in “good faith,” as that term is used in section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and are in the best interests of the Borrower, its estate and creditors. The Postpetition Lender is extending the DIP Financing to the Borrower, and the Prepetition Agent and Prepetition Lenders are permitting the use of their Cash Collateral, in good faith, and the Postpetition Lender, Prepetition Agent and Prepetition Lenders are entitled to the benefits of the provisions of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

M. The Postpetition Liens (as defined herein) granted pursuant to this Interim Order to the Postpetition Lender, are appropriate under section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code because, among other things: (i) such security interests and liens do not impair the interests of any holder of a valid, perfected, prepetition security interest or lien in the property of the Borrower’s estate other than the Prepetition Agent, and/or (ii) the Prepetition Agent has consented to the security interests and priming liens granted pursuant to this Interim Order to the Postpetition Lender.

N. Good cause has been shown for the immediate entry of this Interim Order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 4001(b) and (c). In particular, the permission granted herein for the Borrower and Guarantor to execute the Postpetition Financing Documents, for the Borrower to continue using Cash Collateral, and for the Borrower to obtain financing in the Interim Amount pending the Final Hearing, including on a priming lien basis, is necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Borrower and its estate.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1. Motion Granted. The Motion is granted on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Any objections to the relief sought in the Motion that have not been previously resolved or withdrawn are hereby overruled on their merits. This Interim Order shall

become effective immediately upon its entry. To the extent the terms of the other Postpetition Financing Documents differ in any material respect from the terms of this Interim Order, this Interim Order shall control.

2. Postpetition Financing ; Use of Cash Collateral. The Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents are hereby approved and the Borrower is hereby (i) authorized to enter into the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents, (ii) authorized to use the Prepetition Agent’s, Prepetition Lenders’ and Postpetition Lender’s Cash Collateral subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Postpetition Financing Documents, and (iii) authorized to borrow, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Postpetition Financing Documents, up to the Interim Amount of $11,200,000 following the entry of this Interim Order and, following the entry of a final order (the “Final Order”), up to an aggregate amount of $13,400,000, incur debt, reimbursement obligations and other obligations, grant Liens, make deposits, provide indemnities and otherwise perform its obligations, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Postpetition Financing Documents; provided, however, in no event shall Postpetition Lender be required to fund any expenses of VeraSun Marketing, LLC or to fund more than the Borrower’s Allocated Share (as hereinafter defined) of overhead, professional fees and other expenses shared with other Non-USBIO Debtors (as hereinafter defined). The Postpetition Financing Documents may be amended, modified, supplemented or the provisions thereof waived in accordance with their terms, without further order of this Court or notice to any party; provided, however, that the U.S. trustee and the Committee shall have been given five (5) days written notice

of any amendment, modification or supplement and shall not have raised an objection prior to any such amendment, modification or supplement becoming effective. All obligations owed to the Postpetition Lender under, or in connection with, the Postpetition Financing Documents, including, without limitation, all “Postpetition Obligations” (as defined in the Postpetition Credit Agreement) and all loans, advances, other indebtedness, obligations and amounts (contingent or otherwise) owing from time to time under or in connection with the Postpetition Financing Documents (including, without limitation, loans used to payoff the Initial Postpetition Financing Facility and loans consisting of Rolled Up Indebtedness), and any and all other obligations at any time incurred by the Borrower or the Guarantor to the Postpetition Lender are defined and referred to herein as the “Postpetition Obligations.”

3. Guarantor. The Postpetition Guaranty is hereby approved and the Guarantor is hereby authorized to (i) enter into the Postpetition Guaranty and the other Postpetition Financing Documents to which it is to be a party, (ii) grant the Postpetition Lender a Lien in all of the Guarantor’s prepetition and postpetition assets to secure the Postpetition Guaranty, and (iii) incur debt, reimbursement obligations and other obligations, make deposits, provide indemnities and otherwise perform its obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Postpetition Financing Documents.

4. Binding Effect. Upon the entry of this Interim Order, the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents to which the Borrower is a party shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms and the Postpetition Financing Documents to which the Guarantor is a party

shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with their terms. No obligation, payment, transfer or grant of security under this Interim Order or the other Postpetition Financing Documents shall be stayed, restrained, voided or recovered under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable nonbankruptcy law, or subjected to any defense, reduction, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim.

5. Conditions Precedent; Termination of Postpetition Financing.

(a) The Postpetition Lender shall have no obligation to lend under the Postpetition Credit Agreement and this Interim Order unless and until the conditions precedent set forth in the Postpetition Credit Agreement have been satisfied.

(b) The Postpetition Lender’s obligation to make loans hereunder and the Prepetitions Agent’s and Postpetition Lender’s consent to the Borrower’s use of Cash Collateral shall immediately and automatically terminate (except as the Postpetition Lender may otherwise agree in writing in its sole discretion), and all Prepetition Indebtedness and Postpetition Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in cash (except as the Postpetition Lender may otherwise agree in writing in its sole discretion) upon the earliest to occur of the following (the “Loan Payment Date”): (i) ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇, (▇▇) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Postpetition Credit Agreement), (iii) the date on which the Borrower or the Guarantor closes a sale of the membership interests in the Borrower or all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, and (iv) the effective date of any Chapter 11 plan of the Borrower or the Guarantor. Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 5(b) to the

contrary, the acceleration of the Postpetition Obligations and Prepetition Indebtedness upon the Loan Payment Date shall not be deemed a “roll up” or conversion of all of the Prepetition Indebtedness into postpetition claims over and above the roll up of the Rolled Up Indebtedness described in this Order.

6. Interest on Postpetition Obligations. Interest on the Postpetition Obligations shall be secured in the manner specified in paragraph 13 herein, and shall accrue at the rates (including any default rates) and be paid in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Postpetition Credit Agreement.

7. Costs, Expenses and Fees. Any and all reasonable costs, expenses and fees paid or required to be paid to the Postpetition Lender, including fees relating to financial advisors, appraisers, counsel and local counsel for the Postpetition Lender, in connection with the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents are hereby authorized, shall constitute Postpetition Obligations secured in the manner specified in paragraph 13 herein, shall not be subject to further approval of this Court, and shall be paid in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents. Counsel for the Postpetition Lender shall submit summaries of their invoices (generally describing work performed but excluding detailed time entries) to the U.S. Trustee and counsel for the Committee at the same time their invoices are submitted to the Postpetition Lender. The U.S. Trustee and the Committee shall have 10 calendar days from receipt of such invoice summaries to file an objection to them with the Court. If no objection is timely filed, the fees and expenses will be deemed reasonable and shall be promptly paid by the Debtors. Notwithstanding anything in this Interim Order to the contrary, no fees shall be payable on account of the Rolled Up Indebtedness.

8. Adequate Protection Payments. As such term is used in this Interim Order, “Adequate Protection Payments” means payments made by the Borrower or the Guarantor subject only to the right of any interested party other than the Debtors to later assert that such payments should be reallocated to principal pursuant to section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code (and reallocation of such payments to principal upon entry of a final, non-appealable order directing such reallocation), to (i) pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Prepetition Indebtedness at the rate specified in the Prepetition Credit Agreement (other than the Default Rate as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement) on each “Monthly Payment Date” (as defined in the Postpetition Credit Agreement), and (ii) reimburse all pre- and postpetition reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including but not limited to any reasonable attorneys’, accountants’, financial advisors’ and other fees and expenses that are chargeable or reimbursable pursuant to the Prepetition Credit Agreement or any other Prepetition Financing Document. Counsel for the Prepetition Agent shall submit summaries of their invoices (generally describing work performed but excluding detailed time entries) to the U.S. Trustee and counsel for the Committee at the same time their invoices are submitted to the Prepetition Agent. The U.S. Trustee and the Committee shall have 10 calendar days from receipt of such invoice summaries to file an objection to them with the Court. If no objection is timely filed, the fees and expenses will be deemed reasonable and shall be promptly paid by the Borrower or the Guarantor.

9. Use of Lender Funds; Approval of Roll Up. The Borrower shall use Cash Collateral and the loans or advances made under, or in connection with, the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents for the period of

time from the date hereof until the occurrence of the Loan Payment Date solely as provided in this Interim Order, the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents. From and after the Petition Date, amounts loaned and advanced under, or in connection with, the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents (the “Postpetition Loans”) and all proceeds of the Postpetition Collateral and Prepetition Collateral, including, without limitation, all of the Borrower’s existing or future cash and Cash Collateral (collectively, the “Lender Funds”), shall not, directly or indirectly, be used to pay expenses of the Borrower or any of the other Debtors or otherwise disbursed except (i) to payoff the Initial Postpetition Financing Facility, (ii) to “roll up” the Rolled Up Indebtedness, (iii) to make the Adequate Protection Payments, (iv) for those expenses and/or disbursements that are expressly permitted under the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents and any DIP Budget approved by the Postpetition Lender (as such DIP Budget may be extended, varied, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the provisions of the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents), (v) for compensation and payment of fees and expenses owed to the Postpetition Lender, including, without limitation, any reasonable fees relating to attorneys, accountants, financial advisors or appraisers, and other fees and expenses that are chargeable or reimbursable pursuant to the Postpetition Credit Agreement, this Interim Order or the other Postpetition Financing Documents, (vi) for payment of the Borrower’s pro rata share, determined based on the Borrower’s nameplate production capacity divided by the aggregate nameplate capacity of all Debtors (“Borrower’s Allocated Share”), of the general, administrative, and overhead expenses

of all of the Debtors other than VeraSun Marketing, LLC, and (vii) subject to the provisions of Paragraph 19 hereof, for the Borrower’s Allocated Share of fees and expenses payable to professionals retained by the Borrower or any Committee and approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to sections 330 or 331 of the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the “Professionals”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed as consent to the allowance of any of the amounts referred to in the preceding clause (vii) and shall not affect the right of any party in interest to object to the allowance and payment of any such amounts. The payoff of the Initial Postpetition Financing Facility is hereby approved. Notwithstanding anything in the Prepetition Financing Documents to the contrary, the Court hereby orders and approves the “roll up” and conversion of the Rolled Up Indebtedness from Prepetition Indebtedness to Postpetition Loans; provided, however, if the “roll up” is not approved on a final basis at the Final Hearing, the Rolled Up Indebtedness will cease being Postpetition Loans and will revert to Prepetition Indebtedness but, notwithstanding such reversion, the Participating Prepetition Lenders shall be entitled to retain all interest paid on the Rolled Up Indebtedness at the rate described in the Postpetition Credit Agreement from the date of entry of the Interim Order through and including the date of entry of the Final Order (the “Interim Period”) and any interest on the Rolled Up Indebtedness which accrues during the Interim Period but is unpaid shall continue to constitute Postpetition Obligations payable hereunder.

10. Limitation on Use of Lender Funds and Carve-Out. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither any Lender Funds nor the Carve-Out (as hereinafter defined) may be used directly or indirectly by the Borrower or any of the other Debtors, any Committee or any other person or entity to (i) object to or contest in any manner the Postpetition Obligations, the

Postpetition Liens, the Prepetition Indebtedness, the Prepetition Liens, or any Liens or claims granted to the Prepetition Agent hereunder, (ii) assert or prosecute any actions, claims or causes of action (including, without limitation, any claims or causes of action under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code) against any of the Postpetition Lender, the Prepetition Lenders or the Prepetition Agent, (iii) seek authorization for any party to use any of the Cash Collateral of the Prepetition Agent or the Postpetition Lender without the consent of the Postpetition Lender, (iv) pay any expenses of VeraSun Marketing, LLC, (v) obtain Liens that are senior to, or on a parity with, or junior (except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 18), to the Liens of the Postpetition Lender or the Prepetition Agent in the Postpetition Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral of the Borrower, as applicable, or any portion thereof, or (vi) obtain Liens that are senior to, on a parity with, or junior to, the Liens of the Postpetition Lender in the Postpetition Collateral of the Guarantor or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may spend up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $33,300 of the Carve-Out to investigate any potential claims against the Prepetition Agent or Prepetition Lenders, and any potential defenses to their claims, security interests, and liens.

11. Sections 506(c) and 552(b). (i) The Prepetition Agent and Postpetition Lender shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the “equities of the case” exception under section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code shall not apply to the Prepetition Agent or Postpetition Lender with respect to proceeds, products, offspring or profits of any of the Postpetition Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral, and (ii) no costs or expenses of administration which have been or may be

incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases at any time shall be charged against the Postpetition Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral, the Prepetition Agent, the Prepetition Lenders, the Postpetition Lender, or any of their respective claims pursuant to Sections 105 or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise (except as provided in Paragraph 18), without the prior written consent, as applicable, of the Prepetition Agent, the Prepetition Lenders, or the Postpetition Lender, and no such consent shall be implied from any other action, inaction, or acquiescence by any such agents or lenders.

12. Postpetition Obligations Are Superpriority Claims. All Postpetition Obligations (subject only to the Carve-Out (as defined below)) hereby constitute, under section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, allowed superpriority administrative expense claims against the Borrower and the Guarantor having priority over all administrative expenses of the kind specified in, or ordered pursuant to, any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, those specified in, or ordered pursuant to, sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 365, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 546(c), 726 and 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise (whether incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases or following any conversion thereof to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other proceeding related hereto or thereto), which superpriority claims shall, subject to the Carve-Out, be payable from and have recourse to all prepetition and postpetition property of the Borrower, the Guarantor and all proceeds thereof.

13. Postpetition Liens. As security for the Postpetition Obligations, the Postpetition Lender is hereby granted valid, binding, enforceable, first priority and perfected Liens (the “Postpetition Liens”) in the Postpetition Collateral and the Prepetition

Collateral. Subject to the Carve-Out, the Postpetition Liens (A) shall constitute first priority liens in and to all Postpetition Collateral and Prepetition Collateral pursuant to section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (B) shall (x) be senior to and prime the Prepetition Liens and any Liens, setoff rights or recoupment rights junior to such Prepetition Liens on the Borrower’s Postpetition and Prepetition Collateral, (y) be senior to and prime all other postpetition liens on the Guarantor’s Postpetition Collateral and the Borrower’s Postpetition Collateral, including, without limitation, those post-petition liens granted to the lenders under and pursuant to the Initial Final Financing Order, and (z) be senior to and prime all Adequate Protection Liens (as defined herein) ((x), (y) and (z) above, collectively, the “Primed Liens”) pursuant to section 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (C) shall be immediately junior in priority to any and all valid, perfected, enforceable and non-avoidable Liens, setoff rights or recoupment rights (other than the Primed Liens) on assets of the Borrower or the Guarantor in existence as of the Petition Date with priority over the Prepetition Liens where such prior Liens were properly perfected prior to the Petition Date or for which perfection relates back under Section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the “Non-Primed Liens”), pursuant to section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. No other person or entity shall receive or be granted any Liens of any type or nature, whether senior to, on parity with, or junior (except as provided in Paragraph 18), to the Postpetition Liens, on any of the Borrower’s Postpetition Collateral or Prepetition Collateral, except only Permitted Liens (as defined in the Postpetition Credit Agreement), and no other person or entity shall receive or be granted any Liens of any type or nature, whether senior to, on parity with, or junior to the Postpetition Liens on any of the Guarantor’s Postpetition ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

▇▇

▇▇. Additional Documents. The Borrower and the Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Postpetition Lender all such agreements, financing statements, instruments and other documents as the Postpetition Lender may reasonably request to evidence, confirm, validate or perfect the Liens granted pursuant hereto.

15. Liens Valid. All Liens granted herein and in the other Postpetition Financing Documents to or for the benefit of the Postpetition Lender shall pursuant to this Interim Order be, and they hereby are, valid, enforceable and perfected, effective as of the Petition Date, and (notwithstanding any provisions of any agreement, instrument, document, the Uniform Commercial Code or any other relevant law or regulation of any jurisdiction) no further notice, filing or other act shall be required to effect such perfection, and all Liens on deposit accounts or securities accounts shall, pursuant to this Interim Order be, and they hereby are, deemed to confer “control” for purposes of sections 8-106, 9-104 and 9-106 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code as in effect as of the date hereof in favor of the Postpetition Lender; provided, however, that if the Postpetition Lender shall, in its sole discretion, choose to require the execution of and/or filing (as applicable) of any such mortgages, financing statements, notices of Liens and other similar instruments and documents, all such mortgages, financing statements, notices of Liens or other similar instruments and documents shall be deemed to have been executed, filed and/or recorded at the time and on the date of the Petition Date. Each and every federal, state and local government agency or department may accept the entry by this Court of this Interim Order as evidence of the validity, enforceability and perfection on the Petition Date of the Liens granted herein, in the Postpetition Credit Agreement, and the other Postpetition Financing Documents to the Postpetition Lender; provided, further that, with the exception of priming the Prepetition Liens, nothing herein is intended to affect the validity, enforceability or perfection of the Prepetition Liens, which validity, enforceability or perfection (if any) shall be preserved.

16. Priority of Postpetition Liens. Subject to the Carve-Out, the Postpetition Liens shall not be (i) subject to any Lien that is avoided and preserved for the benefit of the Debtors’ estates under section 551 of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) subordinated to or made pari passu with any other Lien under section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

17. Adequate Protection Liens and Claims. In addition to the Adequate Protection Payments, the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders are hereby provided with the following forms of adequate protection (which the Postpetition Lender acknowledges is acceptable to it) to protect against the diminution of value, if any, of the Prepetition Collateral:

(a) As adequate protection of the respective interests of the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders in the Prepetition Collateral, the Prepetition Agent (for the benefit of itself and the Prepetition Lenders) shall be entitled to a claim pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code with priority over any and all other claims except for the Carve-Out and the superpriority claim of the Postpetition Lender for the Postpetition Obligations (the “Adequate Protection Claim”).

(b) As adequate protection of the respective interests of the Prepetition Agent and Prepetition Lenders in the Prepetition Collateral, the Prepetition Agent (for the benefit of itself and the Prepetition Lenders) shall be entitled to replacement

Liens on all of the Postpetition Collateral (the “Adequate Protection Liens”) (which are hereby granted to the Prepetition Agent), subject and junior only to the Postpetition Liens, Non-Primed Liens (but only to the extent such Non-Primed Liens were senior in priority to the Prepetition Liens as of the Petition Date) and the Carve-Out. Except as provided in this Interim Order with respect to the Postpetition Liens, the Adequate Protection Liens on the Borrower’s Prepetition Collateral or Postpetition Collateral shall not be subordinate to or pari passu with any Lien on the Postpetition Collateral by any order subsequently entered in the Chapter 11 Cases.

(c) The Adequate Protection Liens granted pursuant to subparagraph (b) above shall be deemed to be perfected automatically upon entry of this Interim Order, without the necessity of the filing of any UCC-1 financing statement, state or federal notice, mortgage or other similar instrument or document in any state or public record or office and without the necessity of taking possession or “control” (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) of any Postpetition Collateral or Prepetition Collateral.

(d) The adequate protection provided pursuant to this Interim Order (including, without limitation, the Adequate Protection Claims and the Adequate Protection Liens) shall apply to provide the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders with adequate protection against any diminution in their interests in the Prepetition Collateral occurring from and after the Petition Date, even if such diminution occurred prior to the date hereof.

18. Additional Adequate Protection Liens and Claims.

(a) If the Postpetition Lender pays or funds the Borrower’s payment of any portion of a Non-USBIO Debtor’s (defined below) pro rata share, determined based on such Debtor’s nameplate production capacity divided by the aggregate nameplate production capacity of all Debtors (“Debtor’s Allocated Share”), of the general, administrative, and overhead expenses of all of the Debtors, or subject to the provisions of Paragraph 19 hereof for such Debtor’s Allocated Share of fees and expenses payable to Professionals (as defined herein), such payment or funding will automatically create a reimbursement obligation in favor of the Postpetition Lender that is absolutely and undisputedly owed to the Postpetition Lender by the Non-USBIO Debtor (each a “Reimbursement Obligation”).

(b) As security for the full and timely payment and performance of all Reimbursement Obligations as and when due, each such payment of a Debtor’s Allocated Share will at all times in each case, be subject to the Carve-Out: (i) pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, be entitled to a superpriority claim with priority over any and all other claims (other than (w) the postpetition Liens of the ASA DIP Lenders under the ASA DIP Facility and the VSE DIP Lenders under the VSE DIP Facility, (x) the prepetition Liens and any Liens junior to such prepetition Liens on such Non-USBIO Debtor’s postpetition collateral and prepetition collateral, (y) claims (if any) granted in favor of the ASA DIP Lenders under the ASA DIP Facility and the VSE DIP Lenders under the VSE DIP Facility, and (z) superpriority claims granted in connection with adequate protection Liens with respect to prepetition Liens that are primed or cash collateral that is utilized and any Liens permitted under the financing documents relating thereto that are permitted to be senior to any ASA DIP Facility or the VSE DIP Facility) against such Non-USBIO Debtor, now existing or hereafter arising, of any kind whatsoever, including any and all administrative expenses or other claims of the kind specified in or arising under sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c), 507, 546(c), 726, 1113 or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not such expenses or claims may become secured by a judgment Lien

or other non-consensual Lien, levy or attachment, and shall at all times be senior to the rights of such Non-USBIO Debtor, such Non-USBIO Debtor’s estate and any successor trustee, estate representative or any creditor, in the Chapter 11 Cases or any subsequent cases or proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) pursuant to section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, be secured by a perfected first priority Lien on all prepetition collateral and postpetition collateral of such Non-USBIO Debtor that is not subject to a valid Lien in existence on the Petition Date, that (A) was perfected and non-avoidable on the Petition Date or (B) is subsequently perfected pursuant to section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, which Lien shall be junior in priority only to Liens (if any) granted pursuant to sections 364(c)(2), 364(c)(3) or 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code in favor of the VSE DIP Lenders or the ASA DIP Lenders, as the case may be, and any adequate protection Liens with respect to prepetition Liens that are primed, or cash collateral that is utilized and any Liens permitted under the financing documents relating thereto that are permitted to be senior to any ASA DIP Facility or VSE DIP Facility; (iii) pursuant to section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, be secured by a perfected junior Lien (together with the Lien granted pursuant to the preceding subparagraph (ii), the “Allocated Share Liens”) on all prepetition collateral and postpetition collateral that is subject and subordinate to a valid Lien in existence on the Petition Date, that (A) was perfected and non-avoidable on the Petition Date or (B) is subsequently perfected pursuant to section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, which Lien shall be subject and subordinate to Liens (if any) granted pursuant to

sections 364(c)(2), 364(c)(3) or 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code in favor of the VSE DIP Lenders or the ASA DIP Lenders, as the case may be, and any adequate protection Liens with respect to prepetition Liens that are primed or cash collateral that is utilized and any Liens permitted under the financing documents relating thereto that are permitted to be senior to any ASA DIP Facility or VSE DIP Facility; and (iv) be subject to the absolute right of the Postpetition Lender and the Borrower to set off the amount of any indebtedness or other obligation owed to such Non-USBIO Debtor by the Borrower against the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owed to the Postpetition Lender or the Borrower by such Non-USBIO Debtor.

(c) In the event that any NON-USBIO Debtor disputes the asserted amount of any Reimbursement Obligation, such NON-USBIO Debtor shall promptly pay or satisfy in accordance with the postpetition financing documents the portion of the NON-USBIO Debtor’s Reimbursement Obligation that is not disputed, and promptly thereafter submit the dispute to the Bankruptcy Court for resolution.

(d) The superpriority claims and Allocated Share Liens shall not be satisfied or payable from any causes of action arising under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or any proceeds thereof.

(e) In the event of a sale of any prepetition collateral or postpetition collateral pursuant to which all Liens that are senior in priority to the Allocated Share Liens on such prepetition collateral or postpetition collateral are released by the holders of such Liens, the Allocated Share Liens shall be deemed to be automatically released.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Interim Order or the other Postpetition Financing Documents to the contrary, the Postpetition Lender and the Prepetition Lenders acknowledge that the Borrower, the Postpetition Collateral and the Prepetition Collateral may be subject to claims and Liens in favor of the VSE DIP Lenders or the ASA DIP Lenders that are of the same types and amounts as the Reimbursement Obligations and: (i) that are junior to (w) the Postpetition Liens, (x) the Prepetition Liens and any Liens junior to such Prepetition Liens, (y) the superpriority claims granted in favor of the Postpetition Lender, and (z) the superpriority claims granted in connection with Adequate Protection Liens with respect to Prepetition Liens that are primed or Cash Collateral that is utilized and any Liens permitted under the financing documents relating thereto that are permitted to be senior to the DIP Financing, now existing or hereafter arising, of any kind whatsoever; and (ii) which Liens shall be junior in priority only to Liens granted pursuant to sections 364(c)(2), 364(c)(3) or 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code in favor of the Postpetition Lenders, and the Adequate Protection Liens with respect to the Prepetition Liens that are primed, or cash collateral that is utilized and any Liens permitted under the financing documents relating thereto that are permitted to be senior to DIP Financing.

(g) The Postpetition Lender, with respect only to the Liens granted in this Paragraph 18, shall not (i) contest, protest, or object to any motion for relief from the automatic stay filed by the holders of liens senior to such silent liens, (ii) contest,

protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the holders of liens senior to such silent liens or any other exercise by the holders of liens senior to such silent liens of any rights and remedies relating to the collateral subject to such senior liens or otherwise, (iii) object to the forbearance by holders of the senior liens from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding, claim or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the collateral subject to the senior liens or otherwise, (iv) oppose or vote against any plan of reorganization for which the holders of senior liens vote in favor, or (v) take any action that would impede or impair the rights or remedies of the holders of liens senior to such silent liens with respect to such liens or claim secured by such liens.

19. Carve-Out. The claims granted hereunder to the Postpetition Lender, the Postpetition Liens and any claims or Liens ranking pari passu with or junior (including the claims and Liens provided for in Paragraph 18) in priority to such claims of the Postpetition Lender and the Postpetition Liens shall be subject to payment of the Carve-Out. As used in this Interim Order, “Carve-Out” means the sum of (i) all fees required to be paid to the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and to the Office of the United States Trustee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930 in the Borrower’s Chapter 11 Case, plus (ii) $167,000.00, plus (iii) the aggregate amount of the Borrower’s Allocated Share of any budgeted, accrued, but unpaid, fees and expenses of the Professionals existing as of the Carve-Out Date to the extent previously or subsequently approved by the Bankruptcy Court; provided that the Carve-Out may only be used for the payment of the Borrower’s Allocated Share of fees and expenses of Professionals. Prior to the Carve-Out Date, subject to entry

of an appropriate order of the Bankruptcy Court (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Postpetition Lender), the Borrower shall be permitted to use proceeds of the Postpetition Loans to pay the Borrower’s Allocated Share of compensation and reimbursement of budgeted expenses allowed and payable to Professionals under sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code in accordance with the Postpetition Credit Agreement, the DIP Budget, and the Carve-Out shall not be reduced by the amount of any compensation or reimbursement of costs and expenses accrued, incurred, awarded or paid prior to the occurrence of the Carve-Out Date; provided, further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Carve-Out Date, any amounts paid to Professionals by any means will reduce the Carve-Out on a dollar-for-dollar basis; and provided, further, that nothing herein shall be construed to impair the ability of any party to object to any of the fees, expenses, reimbursement, or compensation sought by the Professionals. As used herein “Carve-Out Date” means the date that is the earlier of (x) the Borrower’s receipt of a written notice of an Event of Default from the Postpetition Lender (with a copy to be sent to counsel for the Committee) under the Postpetition Credit Agreement or any other Postpetition Financing Documents or (y) the Loan Payment Date. The Postpetition Lender shall be entitled to maintain reserves against borrowing availability on account of the Carve-Out as may be more fully provided in the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents.

20. Survival of Liens and Claims. The obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantor in respect of the Postpetition Obligations, and the claims and Liens granted to or for the benefit of the Postpetition Lender, the Prepetition Lenders and the Prepetition Agent pursuant to this Interim Order, the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents,

shall continue in full force and effect with the priorities set forth herein, shall remain binding on all parties in interest and shall not be discharged by the entry of an order (a) confirming a chapter 11 plan in the Borrower’s or the Guarantor’s Chapter 11 Case (and, to the extent not satisfied in full in cash, the Postpetition Obligations shall not be discharged by the entry of any such order, or pursuant to Section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors having hereby waived such discharge), (b) converting the Borrower’s or the Guarantor’s Chapter 11 Case to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (c) dismissing the Borrower’s or the Guarantor’s Chapter 11 Case.

21. Effect of Modification of Order. Based on the findings set forth in this Interim Order and in accordance with section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event that any or all of the provisions of this Interim Order, the Postpetition Credit Agreement, or any other Postpetition Financing Documents are hereafter stayed, modified, amended or vacated by a subsequent order of this or any other Court, no such stay, modification, amendment or vacation shall affect the validity, enforceability or priority of any Lien or claim authorized or created hereby or thereby or any Postpetition Obligations incurred hereunder or thereunder. Notwithstanding any such stay, modification, amendment or vacation, any Postpetition Obligations incurred and any claim granted to the Prepetition Agent, the Prepetition Lenders or the Postpetition Lender hereunder, under the Postpetition Credit Agreement, or under the other Postpetition Financing Documents arising prior to the effective date of such stay, modification, amendment or vacation shall be governed in all respects by the original provisions of this Interim Order, the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents, and the Postpetition Lender, the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders shall be entitled to all of the rights, remedies, privileges and benefits, including the Liens and priorities granted herein and therein.

22. Dispositions; Application of Collateral Proceeds. No sale, lease or other disposition of Prepetition Collateral or Postpetition Collateral (including any auction or other similar sales) may be done without the Postpetition Lender’s consent unless all Postpetition Obligations and Prepetition Indebtedness are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. All proceeds of Prepetition Collateral and Postpetition Collateral shall be applied (a) first, to the Carve-Out, (b) second, to the Postpetition Obligations (in such order as is determined by the Postpetition Lender in its sole discretion), (c) third, to the Adequate Protection Claim, if any, and (d) fourth, to the Prepetition Indebtedness.

23. No Waiver. The Postpetition Lender does not waive, and expressly reserves, any and all claims, defenses, rights and remedies it has pursuant to any or all of the Postpetition Financing Documents, the Bankruptcy Code and/or other applicable law against the Debtors and any officer, director, employee, agent, or other representative of the Debtors. In addition, the rights, claims, liens, security interests and priorities of the Postpetition Lender arising under this Interim Order are in addition to, and are not intended as a waiver or substitution for, the rights, obligations, claims, liens, security interests and priorities granted by the Borrower, in its pre-petition capacity, under the Prepetition Financing Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Interim Order is without prejudice to, and does not constitute a waiver of, expressly or implicitly, the rights of the Prepetition Agent to seek additional adequate protection at any time, including prior to the Loan Payment Date.

24. Books and Records; Access. The Debtors shall permit the Postpetition Lender and any authorized representatives designated by the Postpetition Lender (including, without limitation, its auditors, appraisers and financial advisors) to visit and inspect any of the properties of any Debtor, including any Debtor’s financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom, and to discuss the Debtors’ affairs, finances and business with the Debtors’ officers and independent public accountants, at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Debtors shall promptly provide to the Postpetition Lender and the Postpetition Lender’s designated representatives any information or data reasonably requested to monitor the Debtors’ compliance with Postpetition Financing Documents and this Interim Order and to perform appraisals or other valuation analyses of any property of any Debtor.

25. Automatic Stay Modification. The automatic stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code are hereby vacated and modified to the extent necessary to permit the Postpetition Lender to file any financing statements or other documents appropriate in its discretion and to exercise, upon the Loan Payment Date, all rights and remedies provided for in the Postpetition Credit Agreement, this Interim Order, and the other Postpetition Financing Documents, and to take any or all of the following actions without further order of or application to this Court: (a) terminate the Borrower’s use of Cash Collateral and cease to make any loans or advances to the Borrower; (b) declare all Postpetition Obligations to be immediately due and payable; (c) terminate the DIP Financing commitment under the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents; (d) offset and apply immediately against the Postpetition Obligations and otherwise enforce rights against the Postpetition Collateral or the Prepetition

Collateral in the possession of the Postpetition Lender for application towards the Postpetition Obligations; and (e) take any other actions or exercise any other rights or remedies permitted under this Interim Order, the Postpetition Credit Agreement, the other Postpetition Financing Documents or applicable law to effect the repayment and satisfaction of the Postpetition Obligations; provided, however, that the Postpetition Lender shall provide five (5) Business Days’ written notice (by facsimile, telecopy, electronic mail or otherwise) to the U.S. Trustee, counsel to the Debtors, counsel to the Prepetition Agent, and counsel to the Committee prior to exercising any enforcement rights or remedies in respect of the Postpetition Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral (other than the rights described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above). The rights and remedies of the Postpetition Lender specified herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Postpetition Lender may have under the Postpetition Credit Agreement and the other Postpetition Financing Documents or otherwise.

26. Remedies. If the Postpetition Lender shall at any time exercise any of its rights and remedies hereunder, under the Postpetition Credit Agreement or the other Postpetition Financing Documents or under applicable law in order to effect payment or satisfaction of the Postpetition Obligations or to receive any amounts or remittances due hereunder or under the Postpetition Credit Agreement or the other Postpetition Financing Documents, including without limitation, foreclosing upon and selling all or a portion of the Postpetition Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral, the Postpetition Lender shall have the right without any further action or approval of this Court to exercise such rights and remedies as to all or such part of the Postpetition Collateral or the Prepetition

Collateral as the Postpetition Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, subject to the provision by the Postpetition Lender of the written notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. No holder of a Lien primed by this Interim Order or granted by the Borrower or any of the other Debtors as adequate protection shall be entitled to object on the basis of the existence of any such Lien to the exercise by the Postpetition Lender of its respective rights and remedies under the Postpetition Financing Documents or under applicable law to effect satisfaction of the Postpetition Obligations or to receive any amounts or remittances due hereunder or under the Postpetition Credit Agreement or the other Postpetition Financing Documents. The Postpetition Lender shall be entitled to apply the payments or proceeds of the Postpetition Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Interim Order, the Postpetition Credit Agreement, the other Postpetition Financing Documents, and the Prepetition Credit Agreement, and in no event shall the Postpetition Lender be subject to the equitable doctrine of “marshaling” or any other similar doctrine with respect to any of the Postpetition Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral or otherwise. To the extent the provisions of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987, including 12 U.S.C. §§ 2199 through 2202e, and the implementing Farm Credit Administration regulations, 12 C.F.R. § 617.7000, et seq., might apply to the Borrower, the Prepetition Indebtedness, the Prepetition Financing Documents, the Postpetition Loan or the Postpetition Financing Documents, no statutory or regulatory rights of a borrower to disclosure of effective interest rates, differential interest rates, review of credit decisions, distressed loan restructuring, rights of first refusal or other Borrower Rights shall be available to the Borrower or the Guarantor.

27. No Waiver of Remedies. The failure or delay by (i) the Postpetition Lender to seek relief or otherwise exercise its rights and remedies under this Interim Order, the Postpetition Credit Agreement or any other Postpetition Financing Documents or (ii) any of the Prepetition Agent or the Prepetition Lenders to seek relief or otherwise exercise its rights and remedies under this Interim Order shall not constitute a waiver of any of the rights of such Postpetition Lender, Prepetition Agent or Prepetition Lender hereunder, thereunder or otherwise, and any single or partial exercise of such rights and remedies against the Borrower or the Guarantor or any Postpetition Collateral or Prepetition Collateral shall not be construed to limit any further exercise of such rights and remedies against any or all of the Borrower or the Guarantor and/or any Postpetition Collateral or Prepetition Collateral.

28. Successor and Assigns. The provisions of this Interim Order shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the Postpetition Lender, the Prepetition Agent, the Prepetition Lenders and the Borrower, the Guarantor and the other Debtors and their respective successors and assigns (including any trustee or fiduciary hereafter appointed or elected as a legal representative of any of the Debtors, their estates, or with respect to the property of any of their estates) whether in the Chapter 11 Cases, in any successor cases, or upon dismissal of any such chapter 11 or chapter 7 case.

29. No Liens on Avoidance Actions. Except for causes of action related to transfers of Prepetition Collateral or Postpetition Collateral to any of the Debtors, the Postpetition Liens, the Adequate Protection Liens, the Adequate Protection Claim, and the Postpetition Lender’s superpriority administrative expense claim granted pursuant to this Interim Order do not extend to causes of action under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or to proceeds thereof.

30. Release of Claims and Defenses. (a) Subject to the rights of the Committee or any other party in interest as provided in the following subparagraph, the Borrower and the Guarantor, each in its individual capacity, forever releases, waives and discharges the Prepetition Agent and the Prepetition Lenders (whether in its respective prepetition or postpetition capacity), together with its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, professionals, affiliates, subsidiaries, assigns and/or successors (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims and causes of action arising out of, based upon or related to, in whole or in part, any of the Prepetition Financing Documents, any aspect of the prepetition relationship between the Borrower or the Guarantor, on the one hand, and any or all of the Released Parties, on the other hand, relating to any of the Prepetition Financing Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby, or any acts or omissions by any or all of the Released Parties in connection with any of the Prepetition Financing Documents or such prepetition relationship, including, without limitation, any claims or defenses as to the extent, validity, priority or perfection of the Prepetition Liens or Prepetition Indebtedness, “lender liability” claims and causes of action, any actions, claims or defenses under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other claims and causes of action (all such claims, defenses and other actions described in this subparagraph are collectively defined as the “Claims and Defenses”). Nothing contained in this subparagraph shall affect the rights of any Committee or any other party in interest to undertake any action, on its own behalf, or on behalf of the Borrower’s or the Guarantor’s estate, with respect to the Claims and Defenses, including, without limitation, any investigation or prosecution of, Claims and Defenses that is permitted in subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Paragraph.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary and subject to Paragraph 10, the extent, validity, priority, perfection and enforceability of the Prepetition Indebtedness and Prepetition Liens, and all acknowledgments, admissions, confirmations, and releases of the Borrower or the Guarantor above, are for all purposes subject to the rights of any party in interest, other than a Debtor, but including the Committee, a Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 trustee, to seek to invalidate, or otherwise challenge (including a determination of the validity, priority, and extent of ) the Prepetition Indebtedness or Prepetition Liens, including by properly filing a complaint pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7001 or by otherwise properly asserting a contested matter (any of these actions, a “Challenge”); provided, however, that, to the extent not previously resolved by confirmation and consummation of any chapter 11 plan of reorganization, any such Challenge must be commenced or asserted in this Court no later than February 12, 2009. Except to the extent that a Challenge is timely commenced within such time period (or such timely asserted Challenge does not result in a final and non-appealable order of this Court that is inconsistent with clauses (i) through (iv) of subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph), then any and all Claims and Defenses against any of the Released Parties shall be, without further notice to or order of the Court, deemed to have been forever relinquished, released and waived as to the Committee and all other people and entities, and if such Challenge is timely asserted on or before such date, any and all Claims and Defenses that are not expressly asserted in such Challenge shall be deemed, immediately and without further action, to have been forever relinquished, released and waived as to the Committee and all other people and entities.

(c) Except to the extent that a Challenge is timely commenced within such time period, or such timely asserted Challenge does not result in a final and non-appealable order of this Court that is inconsistent with clauses (i) through (iv) of this subparagraph, then, without the requirement or need to file any proof of claim with respect thereto, (i) the Prepetition Indebtedness shall constitute allowed, secured claims for all purposes in the Borrower’s and the Guarantor’s Chapter 11 Cases and any subsequent proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, any chapter 7 proceedings if the Borrower’s or the Guarantor’s Chapter 11 Case is converted to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (a “Successor Case”), (ii) the Prepetition Liens shall be deemed legal, valid, binding, enforceable, perfected, not subject to subordination (except as to the Postpetition Liens and as otherwise specified in this Interim Order, the Postpetition Credit Agreement or the other Postpetition Financing Documents and the Prepetition Financing Documents) or avoidance for all purposes in the Borrower’s and the Guarantor’s Chapter 11 Cases and any Successor Case, (iii) the release of the Claims and Defenses against the Released Parties shall be binding on all parties in interest in the Borrower’s and the Guarantor’s Chapter 11 Cases and any Successor Case, and (iv) the Prepetition Indebtedness, the Prepetition Liens (as applicable), releases of the Claims and Defenses against the Released Parties (as applicable), and prior payments on account of or with respect to the Prepetition Indebtedness shall not be subject to any other or further claim, cause of action, objection, contest, setoff, defense or challenge by any party in interest for any reason, including, without limitation, by any successor to or estate representative of any Debtor.

31. The Postpetition Lender’s Relationship with Debtors. In making decisions to advance any Postpetition Loans or other extensions of credit to Borrower, in administering any Postpetition Loans or other extensions of credit, or in taking any other actions reasonably related to this Interim Order, the Postpetition Obligations or the Postpetition Financing Documents (including, without limitation, the exercise of its approval rights with respect to any budget), the Postpetition Lender shall have no liability to any third party and shall not be deemed to be in control of the operations of any Debtor or to be acting as a “controlling person,” “responsible person” or “owner or operator” with respect to the operation or management of any Debtor (as such term, or any similar terms, are used in the Internal Revenue Code, the United States Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act as amended, or any similar Federal or state statute), and the Postpetition Lender’s relationship with any Debtor shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a joint venture or partnership of any kind between the Postpetition Lender and any Debtor.

32. No Third Party Rights. Except as explicitly provided for herein, this Interim Order does not create any rights for the benefit of any third party, creditor, equity holder, or any other direct, indirect or incidental beneficiary.

33. Substantive Consolidation. Unless the Prepetition Indebtedness and the Postpetition Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Borrower or its estate shall not be substantively consolidated under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law with any other Debtor or its estate or any other Person (as defined by the Bankruptcy Code) or its estate by order of this Court or under any Chapter 11 plan.

34. Prepetition Credit Agreement Master Proof of Claim. The Prepetition Agent shall (to the extent necessary) be authorized (but not required) to file a master proof of claim against the Borrower and the Guarantor (a “Master Proof of Claim”) on behalf of itself and the Prepetition Lenders on account of their respective prepetition claims arising under the Prepetition Financing Documents, and the Prepetition Agent shall not be required to file a verified statement pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2019. If the Prepetition Agent should file a Master Proof of Claim against the Borrower or the Guarantor, the Prepetition Agent and each Prepetition Lender and each of their respective successors and assigns, shall be deemed to have filed a proof of claim in respect of its claims against the Borrower or the Guarantor arising under the Prepetition Financing Documents, and such shall be allowed or disallowed as if such entity had filed a separate proof of claim in the Borrower’s or the Guarantor’s Chapter 11 Case in the amount set forth in the applicable Master Proof of Claim. The Prepetition Agent shall further be authorized to amend its Master Proof of Claim from time to time.

35. Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. This Final Order shall constitute findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Rule 7052 of the Bankruptcy Rules and shall take effect and be fully enforceable immediately upon execution hereof.
