Item 3.03.  Material Modification to Rights of Security
Holders
On December 9, 2009, the annual meeting of the members of USPB was held in
Kansas City, Missouri.  At the annual meeting the members were asked to
consider and vote on a proposal to amend and restate a certain provision of the
Company's Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "LLC Agreement") related to
qualifications for election to the Company's Board of Directors.  At the annual
meeting, USPB's members approved the proposed amendment, the full text of which
is shown in Exhibit 3.1 to this Report, to eliminate the designations of "Odd
Slot Class A Members", "Even Slot Class A Members", and "Seedstock Class A
Member", as a qualification in the election of directors.  Following the
amendment, any Member of the Company is eligible for election to any seat on
the Board of Directors.  The amendment will first apply to the election of
directors at the Company's next annual meeting, currently planned for December,
2010.
