Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 12, 2006, Rentech, Inc. (“Rentech”) entered into a License Agreement (the “Site License Agreement”) with Medicine Bow Fuel & Power LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MBFP”), related to a plant to be constructed by MBFP at or near Medicine Bow, Wyoming (the “Plant”). The Site License Agreement permits the Plant to utilize Rentech’s proprietary technology. In order to operate the Plant using the Rentech technology, MBFP and Rentech also entered into a Catalyst Supply Agreement, dated June 30, 2007 (the “Supply Agreement”), that set forth certain terms of supply and purchase for a Rentech developed catalyst. On October 26, 2007, Rentech and MBFP entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) that changes provisions of both the Site License Agreement and the Supply Agreement.
The Amendment extends several deadlines for MBFP by one year, including its termination rights, the date by which MBFP must achieve financial closing to construct the Plant and the date by which the Plant must be operational. Certain deadlines applicable to Rentech deliverables were also extended in the Supply Agreement.
