To continue, please read the following terms and conditions, check the box indicating that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, and click “Continue.”

1. E Energy Adams Bulletin Board.

• • Interested buyers or sellers of membership units must complete a Buyer Registration Form or Seller Registration Form, as applicable. Please click on the links in the preceding sentence to download these forms or request the forms from our office at (402) 988-4655. Once completed, the forms may be faxed to our office at (402) 988-5205; mailed to E Energy Adams, 13238 East Aspen Road, Adams, Nebraska 68301; emailed to investors@eenergyadams.com or dropped off in person at the office. E Energy Adams, LLC personnel will enter the information received onto the bulletin board.

• • The E Energy Adams bulletin board displays only non-firm quotations, meaning that the quotes by sellers or buyers do not obligate any sale or purchase at the quoted price. All references herein to sales, purchases and offers to sell or purchase units are qualified by this non-firm quotation status. All bid prices or ask prices are subject to compliance with the operating agreement of E Energy Adams, LLC and the approval of the E Energy Adams, LLC Board of Directors. E Energy Adams, LLC does not assure that any particular transaction will occur as to any particular number of units or at any particular price. All transactions between users must be executed by the users independent of E Energy Adams, LLC or any of its affiliates.

2. Timing of Transaction

• • Once an offer to sell membership units is posted on the bulletin board, the seller and the buyer of those units cannot enter into a binding agreement to transfer the units until the 15th day after the units are posted on the bulletin board. If a Unit Transfer Application for the units is executed prior to the 15th day after posting, E Energy Adams, LLC will disallow the transfer.
  • Once a Unit Transfer Application is executed in accordance with the guidelines above, the sale of units cannot close prior to the 45th day after units are posted on the bulletin board. If 45 days have not yet passed, E Energy Adams, LLC will disallow the transfer. The “close” of the sale means the earlier of (i) the passage of title to the membership units (which will occur upon transfer of the units on the official register of E Energy Adams, LLC), or (ii) the payment of the purchase price. Therefore, payment of the purchase price for the membership units may not occur until after the transfer has been approved by the Board of Directors of E Energy Adams, LLC.
  • An offer to buy or sell must be removed from the bulletin board within 120 days of its listing. An offer to sell may not be re-entered onto the bulletin board for at least 60 days after its deletion.
  • E Energy Adams, LLC will maintain records to ensure compliance with the timing provisions contained herein. All Unit Transfer Applications between buyers and sellers with respect to membership units are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of E Energy Adams, LLC. The Board of Directors will consider Unit Transfer Applications at its next regularly scheduled meeting following the date the purchase agreement is submitted to E Energy Adams, LLC. In making its determination for approval, the Board of Directors will take into account compliance with these Terms and Conditions, the requirements of the E Energy Adams Operating Agreement and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including IRS regulations regarding the avoidance of being classified as a publicly traded partnership and federal and state securities laws.
