Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 12, 2008, an Airplane Dry Lease Agreement (the “Dry Lease”) by and between Intrepid Potash, Inc. (the “Company”) and BH Holdings LLC (“Lessor”) became effective.

The Lessor is an entity indirectly owned by Robert P. Jornayvaz III, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Hugh E. Harvey, Jr., the Company’s Executive Vice President of Technology. Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Statement of Policy with Respect to Related Party Transactions, the Audit Committee approved the terms of the Dry Lease.

Pursuant to the Dry Lease, the Company has agreed to lease an aircraft (the “Dry Lease Aircraft”) from Lessor for an initial term of one year, which term thereafter will be automatically renewed on a month-to-month basis. Either party may terminate the Dry Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party. The Company pays per flight hour for the use of the Dry Lease Aircraft and is responsible for any deductible amounts applicable to any claim under Lessor’s insurance policies with respect to the Dry Lease Aircraft relating to the Company’s use of the Dry Lease Aircraft.

In connection with the Company’s entering into the Dry Lease, a modified airplane use policy was approved by the Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors. The Company’s existing airplane use policy was modified to add the Dry Lease Aircraft to the policy and provide that Dry Lease Aircraft shall be used for business purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries or otherwise with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Dry Lease is qualified in its entirety by the full terms and conditions of the Dry Lease, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
