Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 16, 2012, Red Trail Energy, LLC (the "Company") executed amended and restated loan agreements with its primary lender, First National Bank of Omaha ("FNBO"). The purposes of the amended and restated loan agreements were to extend the maturity date of the Company's current credit facilities, to adjust the interest rates payable pursuant to the Company's various credit facilities with FNBO and to change the amounts available under our revolving loans.

The Company executed a First Amended and Restated Construction Loan Agreement dated as of April 16, 2012 among the Company and FNBO (the "Amended Loan Agreement"). The Company has three separate loans which are governed by the Amended Loan Agreement, a $20 million Term Loan, a $5 million Revolving Credit Loan and a $5 million Declining Revolving Credit Loan. As of April 16, 2012, the Company had approximately $20 million outstanding on the Term Loan, approximately $2 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Loan and approximately $600,000 outstanding on the Declining Revolving Credit Loan. The Amended Loan Agreement extended the maturity date of the Term Loan and the Declining Revolving Credit Loan to April 16, 2017 and extended the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Loan to April 15, 2013.

Interest on the Term Loan and the Declining Revolving Credit Loan accrues at a rate equal to the Three Month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 3.5%. Interest on the Revolving Credit Loan accrues at the One Month LIBOR plus 3.5%. The Declining Revolving Credit Loan and Revolving Credit Loan are subject to a non-use fee of 0.5% of the unused portion of these revolving loans.

The maximum principal amount available pursuant to the Declining Revolving Credit Loan decreases by $125,000 quarterly starting on June 1, 2012 and continuing until the maturity date on April 16, 2017. All amounts outstanding on the Term Loan and Declining Revolving Credit Loan are due on the maturity date of April 16, 2017. All amounts outstanding on the Revolving Credit Loan are due on the maturity date of April 15, 2013.
