Senior Secured Credit Facilities 
In January 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to amend and restate its previous credit agreement, dated October 30, 2013, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), which provided for: (i) a five-year $700.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), five-year $300.0 million term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”), and a seven-year $500.0 million Term Loan B facility (the “Term Loan B Facility” and collectively with the Revolving Credit Facility and the
Term Loan A Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Term Loan B Facility was fully repaid and terminated prior to 2019.
In October 2018, in connection with the acquisition of Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (the “Pinnacle Acquisition”), we entered into an incremental joinder agreement (the “Incremental Joinder”), which amended the Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Incremental Joinder provided for an additional $430.2 million of incremental loans having the same terms as the existing Term Loan A Facility, with the exception of extending the maturity date, and an additional $1,128.8 million of loans as a new tranche having new terms (the “Term Loan B-1 Facility”). With the exception of extending the maturity date, the Incremental Joinder did not impact the Revolving Credit Facility.
On March 13, 2020, in order to maintain maximum financial flexibility in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we borrowed the remaining available amount of $430.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had conditional obligations under letters of credit issued pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities with face amounts aggregating $29.5 million.
The payment and performance of obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by a lien on and security interest in substantially all of the assets (other than excluded property such as gaming licenses) of the Company.
5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes 
On January 19, 2017, the Company completed an offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior unsecured notes that mature on January 15, 2027 (the “5.625% Notes”) at a price of par. Interest on the 5.625% Notes is payable on January 15th and July 15th of each year.

Covenants
Our Amended Credit Agreement and the indenture governing our 5.625% Notes require us, among other obligations, to maintain specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial tests. In addition, our Amended Credit Agreement and the indenture governing our 5.625% Notes restrict, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, amend debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, make investments, engage in mergers or consolidations, and otherwise restrict corporate activities. Our debt agreements also contain customary events of default, including cross-default provisions that require us to meet certain requirements under the Penn Master Lease and the Pinnacle Master Lease, each with GLPI. If we are unable to meet our financial covenants or in the event of a cross-default, it could trigger an acceleration of payment terms.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants. On April 14, 2020, we entered into a second amendment to our Amended Credit Agreement, which, among other things, provides us with relief from our financial covenants for a period of up to one year. See Note 18, “Subsequent Events” for further information. The Company believes that it will remain in compliance with all of its required financial covenants for at least the next twelve months following the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC.
Other Long-Term Obligations
Ohio Relocation Fees 
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, other long-term obligations included $68.8 million and $76.4 million, respectively, related to the relocation fees for Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway (“Dayton”) and Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course (“Mahoning Valley”), which opened in August 2014 and September 2014, respectively. The
relocation fee for each property is payable as follows: $7.5 million upon the opening of the property and eighteen semi-annual payments of $4.8 million beginning one year after the commencement of operations. This obligation is accreted to interest expense at an effective yield of 5.0%. The amount included in interest expense related to this obligation was $0.9 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
