dated as of September 30, 2004, with a syndicate of commercial lenders led by Bank of the West, as the administrative agent and a lender, Harris Trust and Savings Bank as a lender, and First Bank &amp; Trust as a lender, and Greenstone Farm Credit
Services, ACA/FLCA as a participant, for an $80 million fully-secured credit facility. This credit facility replaces our previous credit facility with Bank of the West. AMVAC Chemical Corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiary, is the borrower and we
and certain of our other subsidiaries are guarantors under this credit facility. This credit facility consists of a $45 million revolving line of credit and a $35 million term loan. These loans bear interest at the prime rate or at an adjusted LIBOR
rate plus certain margins and commitment fees (in each case dependent on our consolidated funded debt ratio). The principal payments of the term loan are payable in equal quarterly installments on or before the last business day of each February,
May, August and November, commencing November 30, 2004 and in one final installment in the amount necessary to repay the remaining outstanding principal balance of the term loan in full on the maturity date. The principal payments on the revolving
loan must be repaid no later than October 7, 2009. Interest accruing on prime rate loans are payable quarterly, in arrears, on the last day of each March, June, September and December, and on the maturity date of such loan in the amount of interest
then accrued but unpaid. Interest accruing on the LIBOR loans are payable on the last day of the interest period, provided that, with an interest period longer than three months, interest is payable on the last day of each three-month period after
the commencement of such interest period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Item 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
