      and
      Merger, Marwich Colorado (with respect to the Reincorporation) and Marwich
      Nevada (with respect to the merger with American Ethanol) will not be soliciting
      proxies, although Marwich Colorado will hold a special shareholders&#8217; meeting to
      consider these proposals as required under Colorado law. If American Ethanol
      does cast its vote as expected, then the Reincorporation will be approved by
      Marwich Colorado&#8217;s shareholders, and the merger with American Ethanol will be
      approved by Marwich Nevada&#8217;s shareholders, regardless of the vote of any other
      shareholder. Under both the Reincorporation Merger Agreement and the Amended
      Merger Agreement, the board of directors of Marwich Colorado (with respect
      to
      the Reincorporation Merger Agreement) and of Marwich Nevada (with respect to
      the

      Marwich Nevada and American Ethanol for any reason even after shareholder

      corporation in each jurisdiction where the properties owned, leased or operated,
      or the business conducted, by it require such qualification, except where
