Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 29, 2013, we executed a new Distillers Grain Marketing Agreement (the "Agreement") with RPMG, Inc. (“RPMG”). The Agreement is effective starting on October 1, 2013. RPMG also markets our ethanol and corn oil pursuant to separate marketing agreements. Pursuant to the Agreement, RPMG will market all of the dried distillers grains we produce. We will continue to directly market our modified/wet distillers grains. Due to the fact that we are a part owner of RPMG, RPMG will only charge us its actual cost of marketing our distillers grains to its customers. The initial term of the Agreement is one year and thereafter the Agreement will renew for additional one year periods. The Agreement may be terminated by either party based on certain events described in the Agreement or based on the bankruptcy or insolvency of either party.
