CleanTech Corporation (&ldquo;GS CleanTech&rdquo;) filed suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
California, Sacramento Division (Case No.: 2:13-CV-01042-JAM-AC), naming the Company as a defendant. The suit alleges patent infringement
by virtue of certain corn oil separation technology in use at one or more of the Company&rsquo;s ethanol production facilities,
including the plant located in Stockton, California. The complaint seeks preliminary and permanent injunctions prohibiting future
infringement on the patent owned by GS CleanTech and damages in an unspecified amount adequate to compensate GS CleanTech for
the alleged patent infringement, but in any event no less than a reasonable royalty for the use made of the inventions of the
patent, plus attorneys fees. The Company strongly disagrees that its use of corn oil separation technology infringes the patent
owned by GS CleanTech and intends to vigorously defend against GS CeanTech&rsquo;s claims. As of the date of this report, discovery
has not commenced and a trial date has not been set. In addition, GS CleanTech has advised the Company that it is in the process
of amending its complaint.</P>
