Senior Secured Credit Facilities
In November 2013, the Authority entered into a loan agreement among the Authority, the Tribe, the Guarantors as defined below, RBS Citizens, N.A., as Administrative and Collateral Agent, and the other lenders and financial institutions party thereto, providing for $955.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”), comprised of a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), a $125.0 million senior secured term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”) and a $730.0 million senior secured term loan B facility (the “Term Loan B Facility”). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities mature on June 15, 2018, subject to extension based on the satisfaction of certain conditions to November 19, 2018 (in the case of the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan A Facility) and November 19, 2019 (in the case of the Term Loan B Facility).
In August 2015, the Authority entered into an increase joinder and amendment agreement among the Authority, the Tribe, the Guarantors as defined below, Citizens Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto, amending the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Pursuant to the amendment, the Authority borrowed $90.0 million of increase term B loans on the same terms as the existing term B loans under the Term Loan B Facility. The net proceeds from this transaction were used to redeem outstanding 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes (further discussed below).
The Term Loan A Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 5.0% of the original principal amount for the first year after the closing date, 7.5% of the original principal amount for the second year after the closing date and 10.0% of the original principal amount in each year thereafter, with the balance payable on the maturity date of the Term Loan A Facility. The Term Loan B Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount. Amortization of the Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility began with the first full fiscal quarter after the closing date.
As of September 30, 2016, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility, Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility totaled $13.0 million, $96.9 million and $776.1 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility totaled $2.5 million, of which no amount was drawn. Inclusive of letters of credit, which reduce borrowing availability under the Revolving Facility, the Authority had approximately $84.5 million of borrowing capacity under its Revolving Facility and Line of Credit as of September 30, 2016.
Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities accrue interest as follows: (i) for base rate loans under the Revolving Facility and Term Loan A Facility, at a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and (c) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points (the highest of (a), (b) and (c), the “base rate”), plus a leverage-based margin of 250 to 350 basis points; (ii) for Eurodollar rate loans under the Revolving Facility and Term Loan A Facility, at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a leverage-based margin of 350 to 450 basis points; (iii) for base rate loans under the Term Loan B Facility, at the base rate (subject to a 2.0% floor) plus 350 basis points; and (iv) for Eurodollar rate loans under the Term Loan B Facility, at the applicable LIBOR rate (subject to a 1.0% floor) plus 450 basis points. The Authority is also required to pay a leverage-based commitment fee of between 37.5 and 50 basis points for unused commitments under the Revolving Facility. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears. Interest on Eurodollar rate loans of three months or less is payable at the end of each applicable interest period and for Eurodollar rate loans of more than three months, interest is payable at intervals of three months duration after the beginning of such interest period.
As of September 30, 2016, interest on the $13.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility was based on a base rate of 3.50% plus 300 basis points. The commitment fee was 0.375% as of September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, interest on the $96.9 million outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility was based on a Eurodollar rate of 0.52% plus 400 basis points. As of September 30, 2016, interest on the $776.1 million outstanding under the Term Loan B Facility was based on the Eurodollar rate floor of 1.0% plus 450 basis points. As of September 30, 2016, the effective interest rates on amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility, after taking into account discounts and debt issuance costs, were 5.47% and 6.38%, respectively. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, accrued interest, including commitment fees, on the Senior Secured Credit Facilities was $179,000 and $195,000, respectively.
The Authority's obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Pocono Subsidiaries, MBC, Mohegan Golf, Mohegan Ventures-NW, MVW, WTG and MTGA Gaming (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Authority's property and assets and those of the Guarantors (other than MBC), including the assets that comprise Mohegan Sun Pocono and a leasehold mortgage on the land and improvements that comprise Mohegan Sun (the Authority and the Guarantors, other than MBC, are collectively referred to herein as the “Grantors”). The Grantors are also required to pledge additional assets as collateral for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as they and future guarantor subsidiaries acquire them.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain customary covenants applicable to the Authority and its restricted subsidiaries, including covenants governing: incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, payment of dividends and other distributions, investments, asset sales, affiliate transactions, mergers or consolidations and capital expenditures. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities also include financial maintenance covenants pertaining to total leverage, secured leverage and minimum fixed charge coverage.
As of September 30, 2016, the Authority and the Tribe were in compliance with all respective covenant requirements under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
On October 14, 2016, the Authority repaid and terminated the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (refer to Note 16).

Senior Unsecured Notes
2013 9 3/4% Senior Unsecured Notes
In August 2013, the Authority issued $500.0 million senior unsecured notes with fixed interest payable at a rate of 9.75% per annum (the “Initial 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes”). In August 2015, the Authority issued an additional $85.0 million of senior unsecured notes under the Initial 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes indenture (the “Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes” and, together with the Initial 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, the “2013 Senior Unsecured Notes”). Subsequent to this transaction, an aggregate principal amount of $585.0 million 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes is outstanding. As of September 30, 2016, the effective interest rate on the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, after taking into account premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs, was 10.04%. The net proceeds from the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes were used to redeem outstanding 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes (further discussed below).
The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes mature on September 1, 2021. The Authority may redeem the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes at any time, in whole or in part, prior to September 1, 2016 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus a make-whole premium and accrued interest (and additional interest in the case of the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, if any, pursuant to the registration rights agreement described below) to the date of redemption. On or after September 1, 2016, the Authority may redeem the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices, plus accrued interest (and additional interest in the case of the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, if any) to the date of redemption. If the Authority experiences specific kinds of change-of-control events, the Authority must offer to repurchase the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount repurchased plus accrued interest (and additional interest in the case of the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, if any) to the date of repurchase. In addition, if the Authority undertakes certain types of asset sales and does not use the related sale proceeds for specified purposes, the Authority may be required to offer to repurchase the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount repurchased plus accrued interest (and additional interest in the case of the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes, if any) to the date of repurchase. Interest on the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes is payable semi-annually on March 1st and September 1st.
In March 2014, the Authority completed an offer to exchange the Initial 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes for a new issue of substantially identical debt securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, with all outstanding notes being exchanged. Additionally, in March 2016, the Authority completed an offer to exchange the Additional 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes for a new issue of substantially identical debt securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, with all outstanding notes being exchanged.
As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, accrued interest on the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes was $4.8 million.
The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes are uncollateralized general obligations of the Authority and are effectively subordinated to all of the Authority’s and the Guarantors' and future guarantor subsidiaries' senior secured indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes are also effectively subordinated to any indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Authority’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes. The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes rank equally in right of payment with the Authority’s other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness, including trade payables. The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.
The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes indenture contains certain covenants that, subject to certain significant exceptions, limit, among other things, the Authority’s and Guarantors’ ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends or distributions, make certain investments, create liens on assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate with another company or transfer and sell assets. The 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes indenture also includes customary events of default, including, but not limited to, failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, failure to pay certain other indebtedness, the occurrence of which is caused by a failure to pay principal, premium or interest or results in the acceleration of such indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency and certain judgment defaults.
On October 14, 2016, the Authority repurchased or redeemed all of its outstanding 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes (refer to Note 16).
Facility Agreement for Senior Unsecured Notes
In November 2015, the Authority entered into an agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) by and among the Authority, the Tribe and UBS AG, London Branch (“UBS”). Pursuant to the Facility Agreement, the Authority may issue, from time to time, to UBS or its designee, senior unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million, in varying amounts and with varying borrowing dates, maturities and interest rates, as agreed with UBS or its designee.
In November 2015, pursuant to the Facility Agreement, the Authority entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Authority, the Tribe and the purchaser named therein (the “Purchaser”). In accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Authority issued floating rate senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million (the “2015 Senior Unsecured Notes”) to the Purchaser in a private offering. The net proceeds from the 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes were used to pursue new development opportunities and for general corporate purposes. The 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes mature on December 15, 2017. The 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 4.45%, payable quarterly. As of September 30, 2016, interest on the 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes was based on a LIBOR rate of 0.85% plus 4.45%.

The Authority may redeem the 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes at any time, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued interest to the date of redemption, customary breakage costs, a make-whole amount, and, if redeemed within one year of the date of issuance, a premium of 0.25%. If the Authority experiences specific kinds of change-of-control events, undertakes certain types of asset sales or experiences certain swap-related credit determinations, the Authority must offer to repurchase the 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes at repurchase prices set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement. In addition, if any gaming regulatory authority requires a holder of the 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable gaming laws, and such holder does not obtain such license, qualification or finding of suitability within a specified time, the Authority can call for redemption of the 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes held by such holder.
The 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes and guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
The 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes are uncollateralized general obligations of the Authority and are effectively subordinated to all of the Authority’s and the Guarantors’ and future guarantor subsidiaries’ senior secured indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes are also effectively subordinated to any indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Authority’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes. The 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes rank equally in right of payment with the Authority’s other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness, including trade payables. The 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.
The Note Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants that, subject to certain significant exceptions, limit, among other things, the Authority’s and the Guarantors’ ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends or distributions, make certain investments, create liens on assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate with another company or transfer and sell assets. The Note Purchase Agreement also includes customary events of default, including, but not limited to, failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, certain cross-defaults, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency and certain judgment defaults.
On October 14, 2016, the Authority repaid and terminated the 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes (refer to Note 16).
Senior Subordinated Notes
2012 11% Senior Subordinated Notes
In March 2012, the Authority issued $344.2 million Senior Subordinated Toggle Notes with fixed interest payable at a rate of 11% per annum (the “2012 Senior Subordinated Notes”). The 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes mature on September 15, 2018. The Authority may redeem the 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes at any time, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. If the Authority experiences specific kinds of change-of-control events, the Authority must offer to repurchase the 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount repurchased plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase. In addition, if the Authority undertakes certain types of asset sales or suffers events of loss and does not use the related sale or insurance proceeds for specified purposes, the Authority may be required to offer to repurchase the 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount repurchased plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase. Interest on the 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15th and September 15th. The initial interest payment on the 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes was payable entirely in cash. For subsequent interest payment periods through March 15, 2018, the Authority may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes either entirely in cash or by paying up to 2% in 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes (“PIK Interest”). If the Authority elects to pay PIK Interest, such election will increase the principal amount of the 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes in an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest payment period to holders of 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes on the relevant record date.
In August 2013, the Authority repurchased an aggregate principal amount of $69.0 million 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes. In September 2015, the Authority redeemed an additional aggregate principal amount of $175.0 million of 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes. An aggregate principal amount of approximately $100.2 million 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes remains outstanding as of September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, the effective interest rate on the 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes, after taking into account discounts and debt issuance costs, was 11.50%. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, accrued interest on the 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes was $490,000.
The 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes and guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
The 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes are uncollateralized general obligations of the Authority and are subordinated to borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the 2013 and 2015 Senior Unsecured Notes. The 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.
The 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes indenture contains certain non-financial and financial covenant requirements with which the Authority and the Tribe must comply. The non-financial covenant requirements include, among other things, reporting obligations, compliance with laws and regulations, maintenance of licenses and insurances and continued existence of the Authority. The financial covenant requirements include, among other things, subject to certain exceptions, limitations on the Authority's and the Guarantors' ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or distributions, make certain investments, create liens on assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate with another company, transfer or sell assets or impair assets constituting collateral.
As of September 30, 2016, the Authority and the Tribe were in compliance with all respective covenant requirements under the senior and senior subordinated note indentures and other debt agreements.
The Authority or its affiliates may, from time to time, seek to purchase or otherwise retire outstanding indebtedness for cash in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Any such transaction will depend on prevailing market conditions and the Authority's liquidity and covenant requirement restrictions, among other factors.
On October 14, 2016, the Authority repurchased or redeemed all of its outstanding 2012 Senior Subordinated Notes (refer to Note 16).
Line of Credit
In November 2013, the Authority entered into a $16.5 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Line of Credit”). The Line of Credit is coterminous with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Pursuant to provisions of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, under certain circumstances, the Line of Credit may be converted into loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Under the Line of Credit, each advance accrues interest on the basis of a one-month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin based on the Authority's total leverage ratio, as each term is defined under the Line of Credit. As of September 30, 2016, no amount was drawn on the Line of Credit. Borrowings under the Line of Credit are uncollateralized general obligations of the Authority. The Line of Credit contains negative covenants and financial maintenance covenants that are substantially the same as those contained in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. As of September 30, 2016, the Authority was in compliance with all covenant requirements under the Line of Credit. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, accrued interest on the Line of Credit was $14,000 and $23,000, respectively.
On October 14, 2016, the Authority amended and restated the Line of Credit in connection with the refinancing of its Senior Secured Credit Facilities (refer to Note 16).
Downs Lodging Credit Facility
In July 2012, Downs Lodging, a single purpose entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Authority, entered into a credit agreement providing for a $45.0 million term loan from a third-party lender (the “Downs Lodging Credit Facility”). The proceeds from the Downs Lodging Credit Facility were used by Downs Lodging to fund Project Sunlight, a hotel and convention center expansion project at Mohegan Sun Pocono. The Downs Lodging Credit Facility accrued interest at an annual rate of 13.0%.

In July 2015, Downs Lodging prepaid approximately $4.5 million of the Downs Lodging Credit Facility, plus accrued interest and fees. In November 2015, Downs Lodging repaid the remaining $40.5 million outstanding under the Downs Lodging Credit Facility, plus accrued interest and fees, with proceeds from a new credit agreement providing for a $25.0 million term loan from a third-party lender (the “New Downs Lodging Credit Facility”) and a cash payment of the remaining amount, and terminated the prior Downs Lodging Credit Facility.
The New Downs Lodging Credit Facility matures in November 2019, subject to earlier maturity in the event that 5.0% or more of the Authority’s total funded indebtedness matures prior to that date, in which case the New Downs Lodging Credit Facility matures six months prior to such date. Principal outstanding under the New Downs Lodging Credit Facility amortizes in equal monthly amounts of approximately $260,000 commencing January 1, 2016, with the remaining balance due at maturity. The New Downs Lodging Credit Facility accrues interest as follows: (i) for base rate loans, at a base rate equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate and (b) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points (the greater of (a) and (b), the “base rate”), plus 250 basis points and (ii) for Eurodollar rate loans, at the applicable LIBOR rate plus 350 basis points. Interest on base rate loans is payable monthly. Interest on Eurodollar rate loans is payable at the end of each applicable interest period.

The New Downs Lodging Credit Facility is a senior secured obligation of Downs Lodging, collateralized by all existing and future assets of Downs Lodging. The New Downs Lodging Credit Facility subjects Downs Lodging to certain covenant requirements customarily found in loan agreements for similar transactions. Additionally, the New Downs Lodging Credit Facility includes a financial maintenance covenant pertaining to minimum debt service coverage. As of September 30, 2016, Downs Lodging was in compliance with all covenant requirements under the New Downs Lodging Credit Facility.
