On March 5, 2008, CHS Inc. amended its $1.3 billion five-year committed line of credit.  The substantive changes to the revolving credit agreement that were made by the amendment include: (a) increasing the amount of draws under the credit agreement available to pay commercial paper issued by CHS from $100 million to $200 million, and (b) increasing the maximum amount of guarantees of other parties' liabilities, which CHS can provide in the ordinary course of business, from $150 million to $500 million.  Other clarifying amendments which did not substantially change the terms of the credit agreement were also made.
