Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 29, 2007, Energy West, Incorporated (one of our subsidiaries) entered into a $20.0 million revolving credit facility with the Bank of America, N.A. (formerly LaSalle Bank National Association). On November 2, 2011, we entered into a reaffirmation and first amendment to credit facility with Bank of America increasing the maximum amount available under the credit facility to $30.0 million and issued an amended and substitute note in that amount. The expanded credit facility includes an annual commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.45% of the unused portion of the facility and interest on the amounts outstanding at London Interbank Offered Rate plus 175 to 225 basis points. On June 1, 2012, we entered into a reaffirmation and second amendment to credit facility with Bank of America extending the termination date of the credit facility from June 26, 2012 to August 24, 2012 or such other date on which the loan commitments terminate pursuant to Sections 6 or 12 of the credit agreement.

The reaffirmation and second amendment to credit facility is attached to this Form 8-K as an exhibit. The description of the amendment above is a summary and is qualified by the full text of the attached amendment.
