Credit Agreement
On July 31, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with the lenders named therein and Capital One, National Association (as administrative agent). The facilities under the Credit Agreement consist of a $120.0 million senior secured term loan (“Term Loan”) and a $40.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan facility, the “Facilities”). The Facilities mature on July 31, 2020. Additionally, under the Credit Agreement the Company may elect to increase the Revolving Credit Facility, increase the amount of the Term Loan or enter into one or more new tranches of term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million (provided that the Revolving Credit Facility may not be increased by more than $12.5 million).
 
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) the highest of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, the Eurodollar rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, or the administrative agent’s prime rate as announced from time to time, or (2) the Eurodollar rate for the applicable interest period, plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2015, the weighted average effective interest rate on the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement was approximately 3.17%.
 
The Term Loan must be repaid in four quarterly payments of $1.5 million each, which commenced on December 31, 2015, followed by eight quarterly payments of $2.25 million each, followed by four quarterly payments of $3.0 million each, followed by three quarterly payments of $4.5 million each, followed by a final installment of $70.5 million at maturity. The commitment fee for the Revolving Credit Facility is payable quarterly at a rate of between 0.25% and 0.30%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $118.5 million in principal amount of outstanding Term Loan borrowings and $25.0 million in principal amount of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility of $15.0 million as of December 31, 2015. In January 2016, the Company borrowed a further $15.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving no additional availability; see Note 21,

, for additional information.
 
The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by all of the Company’s present and future direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (other than certain insignificant or unrestricted subsidiaries), and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ present and future personal and real property (subject to receipt of certain approvals). Net proceeds from the initial borrowings under the Facilities and existing cash were used to repay and discharge all of the outstanding senior secured indebtedness of Sartini Gaming and its subsidiaries in connection with the Merger, as well as the outstanding indebtedness under the financing facility with Centennial Bank for Rocky Gap (the “Rocky Gap Financing Facility”).
 
Under the Credit Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain limitations, including limitations on their ability to: incur additional debt, grant liens, sell assets, make certain investments, pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments. In addition, the Company will be required to pay down the Facilities under certain circumstances if the Company or any of its subsidiaries sells assets or property, issues debt or receives certain extraordinary receipts. The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants regarding a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Agreement also prohibits the occurrence of a change of control, which includes the acquisition of beneficial ownership of 30% or more of the Company’s equity securities (other than by certain permitted holders, which include, among others, Blake L. Sartini, Lyle A. Berman and certain affiliated entities) and a change in a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors that is not approved by the Board. If the Company defaults under the Credit Agreement due to a covenant breach or otherwise, the lenders may be entitled to, among other things, require the immediate repayment of all outstanding amounts and sell the Company’s assets to satisfy the obligations thereunder. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2015.
 
Rocky Gap Financing Facility
In December 2012, the Company closed on the $17.5 million Rocky Gap Financing Facility to finance a portion of Rocky Gap project costs. In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement on July 31, 2015 and the borrowings thereunder, as more fully described above, on July 31, 2015 the Company repaid all principal amounts outstanding under the Rocky Gap Financing Facility, which amounted to approximately $10.7 million, together with accrued interest. In connection with such repayment, the Company terminated the Rocky Gap Financing Facility. As a result of the payoff of the Rocky Gap Financing Facility, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million, related to the unamortized discount under the facility, during the year ended December 31, 2015. As of December 28, 2014, the Company had $11.7 million in principal amount of outstanding borrowings under the Rocky Gap Financing Facility.
