In August 2019, the Company amended its existing term note (the Term Note and, as amended, the Amended Term Note) with Wells Fargo and extended its maturity to June 5, 2029. The Amended Term Note had an outstanding balance of $56,842,000 as of June 30, 2020, whereas the Amended Term Note had an outstanding balance of $58,768,000 as of December 31, 2019. The interest rate per annum applicable to the Amended Term Note is LIBOR (as defined in the Term Note) plus a margin of 170 basis points. The interest rate for the Amended Term Note has been fixed at 4.16% through the use of an interest rate swap agreement. The Amended Term Note requires monthly amortization payments, with the outstanding principal amount due June 5, 2029. The Amended Term Note is secured by the Company's farmland and farm assets, which include equipment, crops and crop receivables; the PEF power plant lease and lease site; and related accounts and other rights to payment and inventory.

In August 2019, the Company also increased the capacity of its revolving line of credit (RLC) with Wells Fargo to $35,000,000 from $30,000,000 and extended its maturity to October 5, 2024. The RLC had no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. At the Company’s option, the interest rate on this line of credit can float at 1.50% over a selected LIBOR rate or can be fixed at 1.50% above LIBOR for a fixed rate term. During the term of this RLC, the Company can borrow at any time and partially or wholly repay any outstanding borrowings and then re-borrow, as necessary.

Any future borrowings under the RLC are expected to be used for ongoing working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. To maintain availability of funds under the RLC, undrawn amounts under the RLC will accrue a commitment fee of 10 basis points per annum. The Company's ability to borrow additional funds in the future under the RLC is subject to compliance with certain financial covenants and making certain representations and warranties, which are typical in this type of borrowing arrangement.

The Amended Term Note and RLC, collectively, the Amended Credit Facility, require compliance with three financial covenants: (i) total liabilities divided by tangible net worth of not greater than 0.75 to 1.0 at each quarter end; (ii) a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 as of each quarter end on a rolling four quarter basis; and (iii) liquid assets equal to or greater than $20,000,000, including availability on RLC. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.

The Amended Credit Facility also contains customary negative covenants that limit the ability of the Company to, among other things, make capital expenditures, incur indebtedness and issue guaranties, consummate certain assets sales, acquisitions or mergers, make investments, pay dividends or repurchase stock, or incur liens on any assets.

The Amended Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including: failure to make required payments; failure to comply with the terms of the Amended Credit Facility; bankruptcy and insolvency; and a change in control without consent of the bank (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Amended Credit Facility contains other customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties, which are typical for credit facilities of this type.

In 2013, Tejon entered into a promissory note agreement, secured by real estate, with CMFG Life Insurance Company to pay a principal amount of $4,750,000 with principal and interest due monthly starting on October 1, 2013. The interest rate on this promissory note is 4.25% per annum, with monthly principal and interest payments of $36,000 ending on September 1, 2028. In March 2020, the Company made an additional payment of $687,000 that was applied to the principal of the note. Subsequent principal and interest payments were reduced to $28,000 per month. The additional principal payment was tied to the release of collateral, which in April 2020 was contributed to Petro Travel Plaza, LLC. The current balance on the note was $2,309,000 on June 30, 2020. The balance of this long-term debt instrument included in "Notes payable" above approximates the fair value of the instrument.
