Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 23, 2011, Casey’s General Stores, Inc. (the “Company”) executed and delivered to UMB Bank, n.a. (the “Lender”) two Promissory Notes, each in the principal amount of $50,000,000 (together, the “Notes”). The Notes evidence a revolving line of credit in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000, and serve to terminate and replace the Company’s current line of credit arrangements with the Lender (evidenced by a Promissory Note dated October 1, 2005).

The Notes are dated as of May 23, 2011 and are unsecured. The Lender has no obligation to advance funds under the Notes if (a) the Company is in default under the terms of the Notes or any agreement that the Company has with the Lender, (b) the Company ceases doing business or is insolvent, (c) the Company has applied funds provided pursuant to the Notes for purposes other than those authorized by Lender or (d) the Lender in good faith believes itself insecure. Each and every advance made under the Notes is at the Lender’s sole discretion, and Lender has made no commitment to make any such advances.

Each Note is payable in full upon Lender’s demand. The Company will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning June 1, 2011, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest, then to principal, then to any late charges and then to any unpaid collection costs. Interest is calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance, with the annual interest rate computed on a 365/360 basis.

The Notes bear interest at variable rates subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index referred to in the Notes as the Federal Funds Offered Rate (the “Index”). The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of the first Note will be at a rate of 0.750% over the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 0.850% per annum. The interest rate applicable to the second Note is 1.000% over the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 1.100% per annum.

In connection with the Notes, the Company and the Lender entered into a Negative Pledge Agreement dated May 23, 2011 (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, the Company agrees not to create or permit any liens to exist on its properties or assets without the prior written consent of the Lender, except for those liens specified in the Agreement. Permitted liens for this purpose include any liens not otherwise specified in the Agreement, provided that the Company’s “Priority Debt” does not exceed 20% of its “Consolidated Net Worth”, as such terms are defined in the Note Purchase Agreement

dated August 9, 2010 relating to the Company’s 5.22% Senior Notes due August 9, 2020. The Agreement will remain in effect as long as the Company has outstanding obligations to the Lender.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 10.28(b) and incorporated herein by reference are copies of the Notes delivered by the Company to the Lender and the related Agreement. The foregoing description of the Notes and Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Notes and Agreement attached hereto.

The Company intends to use the Notes to finance short-term operating expenses accruing in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. The Company also may draw upon the Notes to finance, on a short-term basis, the payments required under various agreements the Company has made, or expects to make, to purchase other convenience store properties.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
