Line of Credit Renewal. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, on November 20, 2013, the Company's Operating Partnership entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with First International Bank & Trust as Lender, pursuant to which Lender has agreed to provide a revolving credit facility with a commitment amount at the time of close of $72.0 million. At the discretion of the Lender, the total commitment available under the credit facility may be increased to $75.0 million. First International Bank & Trust is owned by Stephen L. Stenehjem, a Trustee of the Company, and by members of his family. The Loan Agreement amends and restates the Borrower's previous secured line of credit with the Lender and participant banks, provided pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated August 12, 2010 between Borrower and Lender. The facility is secured by mortgages on fourteen properties owned by the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. The initial term of the facility is three years, with a maturity of December 1, 2016, with interest-only payments due monthly based on the total amount of advances outstanding. The facility may be prepaid at par at any time. The Operating Partnership may add additional eligible real estate properties as collateral for the facility if it chooses to remove an existing property from the mortgage collateral, and may also remove property as collateral for the facility without substituting additional collateral if the remaining property in the collateral pool satisfies the minimum collateral requirements in the loan documents. Advances under the facility may not exceed 60% of the value of the properties provided as security. The interest rate on borrowings under the facility is the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 1.25%, with a floor of 4.75% and a cap of 8.65% during the initial term of the facility. The facility includes covenants and restrictions regarding minimum debt-service ratios to be maintained in the aggregate and individually on properties in the collateral pool, and the Operating Partnership is also required to maintain minimum depository account(s) totaling $6.0 million with the Lender, of which $1.5 million is to be held in a non-interest bearing account. Chateau Apartments Fire. On December 5, 2013, 15-unit and 57-unit buildings at IRET's Chateau Apartments property were destroyed by fire. Both buildings were under construction and were unoccupied. The 15-unit building had been anticipated to open in February of 2014, and the 57-unit building was anticipated to open in the summer of 2014. A third, occupied 32-unit building on the west side of the Chateau Apartments complex did not suffer any fire damage. No decisions have been made at this time concerning the reconstruction of these two buildings.
