Item 1.01 Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 29, 2010, Blackwater New Orleans, L.L.C. (the “Borrower” and “BWNO”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blackwater Midstream Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) and a Term Note (the “Term Note”), in the principal amount of $4,695,456.03 with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”). This Fourth Amendment consolidates the Company’s prior loans pursuant to the original credit agreement, dated December 23, 2008, a letter agreement dated April 21, 2009, three subsequent amendments to that original credit agreement, dated February 12, 2010, June 22, 2010, and September 29, 2010, respectively, a line of credit and a subsequent non-revolving line of credit. Additionally, the Company requested, and JPM agreed, to fund an additional line of credit advance in the amount of $374,160.00 for capital improvements to the Company’s Westwego, Louisiana facility. This additional advance was incorporated into the new Term Note. Consolidation of the above referenced loans, along with the line of credit advance, results in the creation of a single term loan in the principal amount of $4,695,456.03, calculated as follows:
Credit Agreement, as amended= $3,689,796.03
Line of Credit Note = $500,000.00
Non-Revolving Line of Credit = $131,500.00
Advance = $374,160.00
The Term Note bears interest at the annual rate of 1.50% above the Prime Rate, subject to certain minimum rate requirements. The Term Note provides for consecutive monthly installments of principal in the amount of $97,822.00, commencing October 31, 2010 and continuing on the last day of each calendar month thereafter, until maturity on September 30, 2014; along with related interest. All unpaid principal and accrued unpaid interest is finally due and payable on September 30, 2014.
Pursuant to the Term Note, the proceeds of the loan shall be used only to refinance BWNO’s existing indebtedness to JPM related to financing the purchase of real estate and improvements located at 660 LaBauve Drive, Westwego, LA and the construction of certain assets on same such property.
A copy of the Term Note and the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement are included as exhibits to this current report on Form 8-K.
