Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 18, 2010, we entered into an amendment of the Master Loan Agreement with our lender, CoBank, ACB, of Greenwood Village, Colorado. See Item 2.03, the text of which is herein incorporated by reference.

Item 2.03.    Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On May 18, 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 loan and revolving term loan. Under the revolving term loan, which is to provide working capital and funding for capital expenditures, the amount that we may borrow from CoBank is increased from $9.3 million to $16.8 million. While the amount available will continue to decrease by $1.3 million every six months, the next semi-annual payment scheduled for September 20, 2010 is waived, thus extending the term of the loan from September 20, 2013 to March 20, 2017. The variable interest rate under the loan is increased from LIBOR (One-Month LIBOR Index Rate) plus 3.25%, to LIBOR (One-Month LIBOR Index Rate) plus 3.60%. Under the revolving working capital loan, which is to finance inventory and receivables, the maturity is extended from August 1, 2010 to July 1, 2011, and the variable interest rate is increased from LIBOR (One-Month LIBOR Index Rate) plus 3.0% to LIBOR (One-Month LIBOR Index Rate) plus 3.35%.

All other material terms and conditions under the Master Loan Agreement and related agreements remain the same following these amendments. The amendments to the Master Loan Agreement and related agreements will be filed as an exhibit in our next periodic report.
