Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On April 1, 2013, Butler National Corporation (the “Company”), as borrower, entered into a Promissory Note (attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated into this description by reference) regarding a line of credit with Industrial State Bank, as lender, in the amount of $2.5 million dollars (the “line of credit”).
 
The Company plans to use the line of credit to finance expenses related to the production of devices that reduce noise emissions from airplane engines (commonly known as “hush kits”). The line of credit is for a period of twenty-four months and has an annual interest rate of 6.0% that accrues on the unpaid principal balance.
 
The payment schedule for the line of credit requires six monthly consecutive interest-only payments, with the first payment due April 28, 2013. Beginning October 28, 2013 the Promissory Note provides for monthly principal and interest payments until maturity of the line of credit on April 28, 2015. The line of credit under the Promissory Note is secured by a lien and is cross-collateralized with existing lines of credit with Industrial State Bank.
