In June 2017, the Company entered into a Master Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Farm Credit West that includes a Revolving Credit Supplement and a Non-Revolving Credit Supplement (the “Supplements”). In January 2018, the Company amended the Revolving Credit Supplement to increase the borrowing capacity from $60,000,000 to $75,000,000.

In March 2020, the Company entered into a revolving equity line of credit promissory note and loan agreement with Farm Credit West for a $15,000,000 Revolving Equity Line of Credit (the "RELOC") secured by a first lien on the Windfall Investors, LLC property. The loan matures in 2043 and features a 3-year draw period followed by 20 years of fully amortized loan payments. The interest rate is variable with monthly interest-only payments during the 3-year draw period and monthly principal and interest payments thereafter.

The Supplements and RELOC provide aggregate borrowing capacity of $130,000,000 comprised of $75,000,000 under the Revolving Credit Supplement, $40,000,000 under the Non-Revolving Credit Supplement and $15,000,000 under the RELOC. The borrowing capacity based on collateral value was $130,000,000 at April 30, 2020.

All indebtedness under the Loan Agreement, including any indebtedness under the Supplements, is secured by a first lien on certain of its agricultural properties in Tulare, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties in California and certain of the Company's building fixtures and improvements and investments in mutual water companies associated with the pledged agricultural properties. The Loan Agreement includes customary default provisions that provide should an event of default occur, Farm Credit West, at its option, may declare all or any portion of the indebtedness under the Loan Agreement to be immediately due and payable without demand, notice of non-payment, protest or prior recourse to collateral, and terminate or suspend the Company's right to draw or request funds on any loan or line of credit.

In December 2019, Farm Credit West declared an annual cash patronage dividend of 1.00% of average eligible loan balances. The Company received $966,000 in February 2020.



12. Long-Term Debt (continued)

Under the Loan Agreement the Company is required to comply with a minimum debt service coverage ratio (as calculated in accordance with the Loan Agreement) of 1.25:1.0 measured as of October 31 each year. On May 29, 2020, the Loan Agreement was amended to adjust the debt service ratio to 1.00:1.0 for October 31, 2020.
