LINE OF CREDIT

NOTE 7 • LINE OF CREDIT

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017, we had a revolving, multi-bank line of credit with First International Bank and Trust, Watford City, North Dakota, as lead bank, which had lending commitments of $100.0 million (“FIB Line of Credit”). On January 31, 2017, we repaid the FIB Line of Credit in full in the amount of $17.5 million, along with other fees, and terminated the FIB Line of Credit.

On January 31, 2017, our Operating Partnership entered into a credit agreement for the unsecured, variable interest rate BMO Line of Credit. The BMO Line of Credit contains a $250 million accordion option, which exercise is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. However, the maximum borrowing capacity of the BMO Line of Credit will be based on the value of an unencumbered asset pool (“UAP”). The UAP may not consist of less than 15 properties that meet certain eligibility criteria, and eligible properties may be added and removed from the UAP subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The BMO Line of Credit is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by us, the general partner of our Operating Partnership and each subsidiary that owns a UAP property. It will accrue interest at a rate based either on a margin percentage over the Lender’s Base Rate, ranging from 0.6% to 1.25%, or on a margin percentage over LIBOR, ranging from 1.6% to 2.25%, based on our total leverage ratio. The BMO Line of Credit has a termination date of January 31, 2021, which may be extended for an additional one year period subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The line also requires the payment of customary fees and contains covenants, representations, warranties and events of default customary for credit facilities of this type, including a covenant on a fiscal quarterly-end basis that the consolidated leverage ratio will not be greater than 0.60 to 1.00. Participants, as of April 30, 2017, included the following financial institutions: BMO Harris Bank N.A., KeyBank, National Association, PNC Bank, National Association, Royal Bank of Canada, U.S. Bank National Association, Associated Bank, National Association, Bank of North Dakota and Raymond James Bank, N.A.; with KeyBank, National Association and PNC Bank, National Association as syndication agents and BMO Capital Markets Corp., Keybanc Capital Markets Inc. and PNC Capital Markets, LLC as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners. As of April 30, 2017, the line of credit availability was $206.0 million based on the UAP, of which $57.1 million was drawn on the line, priced at an interest rate of 2.74%. As of April 30, 2017, we believe we and our Operating Partnership were in compliance with the covenants contained in the BMO Line of Credit.
