Bank of Oklahoma – Construction Loan Agreement
In September 2018, the Company, entered into a Construction Loan Agreement and a corresponding Promissory Note, referred to collectively as the CLA, with BOKF, NA dba Bank of Oklahoma, or BOK, with a maximum principal amount of $21.6 million to acquire and construct improvements at the Hardisty Terminal. In August 2019, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the CLA, which among other things increased the maximum principal amount of the CLA to $25.6 million. In March 2020, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the CLA, which among other things increased the maximum principal amount to $40 million. In June 2020, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the CLA, which among other things added a guarantee for a letter of credit associated with a related party. In June 2021, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the CLA, which required us to make a payment so that the outstanding principal balance of the loan was reduced to $7.75 million and the maximum aggregate loan amount of the CLA was also reduced to $22 million. In December 2021, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the CLA, which among other things decreased the maximum principal amount to $16.1 million. The initial maturity date of the CLA, as amended, is the earlier of January 31, 2022, or the date on which the entire principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid or be required to be paid in full, whether by prepayment, acceleration or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Promissory Note, the CLA, or any of the loan documents. If no event of default occurs and remains uncured, the Company will have the option to extend the maturity date until September 30, 2022.
Per the original CLA, the conversion date was defined as the earlier of the date of the completion of construction of the improvements and the initiation of services under a customer agreement, or September 30, 2019. Per the amended agreement, the conversion date was changed to September 30, 2020. Prior to the conversion date, interest shall accrue at a rate of the LIBOR rate plus 3.50% per annum and paid on a monthly basis. Commencing on the conversion date and thereafter, interest shall accrue at a rate of the LIBOR rate plus 3.25% per annum and paid on a monthly basis. If LIBOR becomes unavailable during the term of the CLA, BOK may designate a substitute index.
Per the CLA, as amended, loan payments will commence after the conversion date as follows:
| • | | the monthly principal and interest payment as determined by BOK shall be based upon the outstanding principal balance on the conversion date and amortized over a 30 month period based upon the greater of the then effective base rate or 6.0%, provided that the payment amount shall be re-calculated by BOK on the initial maturity date (if extended until September 30, 2022), based upon the then existing outstanding principal balance at the greater of the then effective base rate or 6.0% over the remaining term through the final maturity date. |
The loan may be prepaid, in whole at any time, or in any part, without premium or penalty. The CLA, as amended, contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company to incur or guarantee debt, incur liens, engage in certain business activities, engage in mergers, consolidations and other organizational changes, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into burdensome agreements or enter into transactions with affiliates on terms that are not at arm’s length, in each case, subject to exceptions. The CLA, as amended, is collateralized by certain customer contracts and other agreements associated with the Hardisty South Expansion.
