Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 25, 2009 we entered into a Second Amendment to Loan Agreement (the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement) with Fifth Third Bank (Fifth Third), an Ohio banking corporation., that amended a Loan Agreement (the Loan Agreement) between Fifth Third and us dated May 9, 2008, as previously amended. The Second Amendment to Loan Agreement amended the Loan Agreement in the following principal respects: (a) payments of principal on the term loan provided by the Loan Agreement will recommence on January 1, 2010; (b) adjustments are made in the calculation of interest payable on the term loan and revolving credit loan provided for under the Loan Agreement; (c) certain financial covenants are modified and the dates as of which they must be satisfied by us are deferred; (d) we are required to maintain in force biodiesel production tolling agreements with Renewable Energy Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (REG); and (e) an event of default will occur if we do not merge by December 31, 2009 with REG Danville, LLC (REG Danville), an affiliate of REG, in accordance with a merger agreement among REG, REG Newco, Inc., a new Delaware holding company incorporated by REG (Newco), and REG Danville.
On November 25, 2009 we also entered into a First Amendment to Management and Operational Services Agreement (the MOSA Amendment) with REG Services Group, LLC and REG Marketing & Logistics Group, LLC, which are subsidiaries of REG (collectively, REG), that amended a Management and Operational Services Agreement (the MOSA) between REG and us dated May 9, 2008. The MOSA Amendment added a provision to the MOSA which allows Fifth Third to require us to cease making payments to REG under the MOSA in the event of a default by us under the Loan Agreement and gives REG the right to suspend its duties under the MOSA in such event.
A copy of the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the First Amendment to Management and Operational Services Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement and First Amendment to Management and Operational Services Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of those agreements. The Loan Agreement and MOSA were previously filed as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.18, respectively, to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2008.
