Item

|
Creation
of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a
Registrant.
|
|
On
October 14, 2010, we entered into an amendment of the Master Loan Agreement with
our lender, CoBank, ACB of Greenwood, Colorado, for the purpose of amending our
revolving working capital (seasonal) loan. Under the amendment, the amount that
we may borrow from CoBank is increased from $30 million to $40 million. The
variable interest rate on the loan is also increased from LIBOR (One-Month LIBOR
Index Rate) plus 3.35% to LIBOR (One-Month LIBOR Index Rate) plus 3.85%. In
addition, our covenant for working capital is changed. Prior to the
amendment, our minimum working capital requirement was $7.5 million at the end
of each fiscal year and $6.0 million at the end of each other period for which
financial statements are required to be furnished. After the amendment, our
minimum working capital requirement will remain at $7.5 million at the end of
each fiscal year and $6.0 million at the end of each other period for which
financial statements are required to be furnished including November 30, 2010.
Beginning on January 31, 2011, however, and for every period for which financial
statements are required to be furnished, our minimum working capital for these
periods is increased from $6.0 million to $7.0 million.
All other
material terms and conditions under the Master Loan Agreement and related
agreements remain the same following this amendment. The amendment to the Master
Loan Agreement and related agreement will be filed as an exhibit in our next
periodic report.
