Boyd Gaming Corporation Debt
Bank Credit Facility
Agreement
In December 2010, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among certain financial institutions (each a “Lender”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and letter of credit issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as swing line lender (the “Amendment and Restatement Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, our First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2007, as amended by the First Amendment and Consent to First Amended Credit Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2009 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”), was amended and restated to, among other things, (i) reduce the aggregate commitments under the former credit facility and (ii) permit consenting Lenders to extend the maturity date of their commitments, new Lenders to issue revolving commitments and term loans and existing Lenders to increase their commitments (each, an “Extending Lender”) in each case with a maturity date five years from the effective date. All capitalized terms used in this note not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Facility.

In December 2012, we entered into the first amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among certain financial institutions (collectively, the "Lenders"), and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and letter of credit issuer. The amendment restates the definition of Consolidated EBITDA, consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, Total Leverage Ratio and Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined below).

Extended Revolving Facility
Each of the Extending Lenders permanently reduced their commitments under the former credit facility by up to 50% of the amount thereof. As a result, the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility were reduced from $3 billion to approximately $1.5 billion (excluding the non-extending amounts), which commitments may be increased from time to time by up to $500 million through additional revolving credit or term loans under the Credit Facility.

Lender Joinder Agreement
On May 30, 2012, we entered into a lender joinder agreement (the "Lender Joinder Agreement") among the Company, Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America"), Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and UBS Loan Finance LLC, each as an increasing lender, and Bank of America, as the administrative agent, providing for, among other things, an incremental Class A Revolving Commitment (as defined in the Company's Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2010, among the lenders party thereto, Bank of America, as administrative agent and letter of credit issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as swing line lender in the amount of $150 million (the "Increased Revolving Commitment"). The Increased Revolving Commitment became effective and the initial revolving loans were funded thereunder on May 30, 2012.

Pursuant to the Lender Joinder Agreement, concurrently with the closing of the 9.00% senior notes due 2020 offering (see 9.00% Senior Notes due 2020 below), we were required to give an irrevocable notice of election to permanently reduce the Class A Revolving Commitment under the Credit Facility by $150 million, which became effective with the issuance of the 9.00% senior notes on June 8, 2012.

Initial Term Loan
The Credit Facility included the conversion of certain outstanding revolving commitments to a term loan in the amount of $500 million (the "Initial Term Loan"). Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, the Initial Term Loan amortizes in an annual amount equal to 5% of the original principal amount thereof, commencing March 31, 2011, payable on a quarterly basis. The interest rate per annum applicable to term loans under the Credit Facility are based upon, at the option of the Company, LIBOR or the “base rate,” plus an applicable margin in either case. The applicable margin is a percentage per annum determined in accordance with a specified pricing grid based on the total leverage ratio.

Increased Term Loan
In November 2011, we exercised $350 million of the $500 million increase option under our Credit Facility through an Increased Term Loan. The proceeds from the Increased Term Loan were used to repay the outstanding Non-Extended Revolving Facility, and all related commitments thereunder were terminated. Pursuant to its terms, the Increased Term Loan amortizes in an annual amount equal to 5% of the original principal amount thereof, commencing in March 2012 and payable on a quarterly basis. At any time and to the extent that the Increased Term Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Increased Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each quarterly interest period at a rate per annual equal to the “effective Eurodollar Rate” for such period plus 4.75%, and at any time and to the extent that the Increased Term Loan bears interest at the base rate, the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the base rate for such Interest period plus 3.75%.

Interest and Fees
The applicable margin on the outstanding balance on the Extended Revolving Facility ranges from 2.50% to 3.50% (if using LIBOR), and from 1.50% to 2.50% (if using the base rate). The applicable margin on the outstanding balance of the loans and commitments of the non-extending lenders continues to range from 0.625% to 1.625% (if using LIBOR), and from 0.00% to 0.375% (if using the base rate). A fee of a percentage per annum (which ranges from 0.250% to 0.500%) determined by the level of the total leverage ratio is payable on the unused portions of the Credit Facility. The “base rate” under the Credit Facility is the highest of (x) Bank of America's publicly-announced prime rate, (y) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (z) the Eurodollar rate for a one month period plus 1.00%.

The letter of credit fees under the Credit Facility remain the same as those under the Credit Facility; however, the margins payable to Extending Lenders are based on the margins applicable to the Extended Revolving Facility. Subject to certain conditions, amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility may be prepaid without premium or penalty, and the unutilized portion of any of the commitments may be terminated without penalty.

The blended interest rate for outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility was 4.2% and 4.2% at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2012, approximately $1.47 billion was outstanding under our Credit Facility, with $14.5 million allocated to support various letters of credit, leaving remaining contractual availability of approximately $253.1 million

Guarantees
The Company's obligations under the Credit Facility, subject to certain exceptions, are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries and are secured by the capital stock of certain subsidiaries. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Company and each of the guarantors granted the administrative agent first priority liens and security interests on substantially all of their real and personal property (other than gaming licenses and subject to certain other exceptions) as additional security for the performance of the secured obligations under the Credit Facility.

Financial and Other Covenants
The Credit Facility contains certain financial and other covenants, as amended December 27, 2012, including, without limitation, various covenants (i) requiring the maintenance of a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 through March 31, 2013, (ii) establishing a maximum permitted consolidated total leverage ratio (discussed below), (iii) establishing a maximum permitted secured leverage ratio (discussed below), (iv) imposing limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, (v) imposing limitations on transfers, sales and other dispositions and (vi) imposing restrictions on investments, dividends and certain other payments. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company may be required to repay the amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility in connection with certain asset sales and issuances of certain additional secured indebtedness.
The minimum consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is calculated as (a) the twelve-month trailing Consolidated EBITDA, to (b) consolidated interest expense.
The maximum permitted consolidated Total Leverage Ratio is calculated as Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to twelve-month trailing Consolidated EBITDA. The following table provides our maximum Total Leverage Ratio, as amended December 27, 2012, during the remaining term of the Credit Facility.

Compliance with Financial Covenants
We believe that, we were in compliance with our debt covenants, including the maximum consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, the maximum Secured Leverage Ratio and the minimum consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio at December 31, 2012.

Debt Financing Costs
In conjunction with the Credit Facility and the subsequent issuance of the Increased Term Loan, we incurred approximately $20.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively, in incremental debt financing costs, which have been deferred and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Facility. In May 2012, in conjunction with the Lender Joinder Agreement and the subsequent issuance of the Incremental Term Loan, we incurred approximately $1.5 million of incremental debt financing costs, which were expensed when this borrowing was repaid, due to the reduction in available commitment under the Credit Facility.

Senior Notes
9.125% Senior Notes due December 2018
Significant Terms
On November 10, 2010, we issued, through a private placement, $500 million aggregate principal amount of 9.125% senior notes due December 2018. The notes require semi-annual interest payments on December 1 and June 1 of each year, which commenced on June 1, 2011. The notes will mature on December 1, 2018 and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain of our current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned by us. The notes contain certain restrictive covenants that, subject to exceptions and qualifications, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the indenture governing the notes) to incur additional indebtedness or liens, pay dividends or make distributions or repurchase our capital stock, make certain investments, and sell or merge with other companies. We believe that we are in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2012. In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), we will be required, unless certain conditions are met, to offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase. If we sell assets or experience an event of loss, we will be required under certain circumstances to offer to purchase the notes. At any time prior to December 1, 2013, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price equal to 109.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, with the net cash proceeds that we raise in one or more equity offerings. In addition, prior to December 1, 2014, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, plus a make whole premium.

The notes will mature on July 1, 2020 and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain of our current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned by us. The notes contain certain restrictive covenants that, subject to exceptions and qualifications, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restrictive subsidiaries (as defined in the indenture governing the notes) to incur additional indebtedness or liens, pay dividends or make distributions or repurchase our capital stock, make certain investments, and sell or merge with other companies. We believe that we are in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2012. In addition, upon the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), we will be required, unless certain conditions are met, to offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase.

Registration Rights Agreement
Pursuant to the registration rights agreement entered into with the initial purchasers of these senior notes on June 8, 2012, the date the 9.00% notes were issued, we agreed that, subject to certain suspension and other rights provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, we will file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to a registered exchange offer to exchange the 2020 notes for new notes with terms substantially identical in all material respects to the 2020 notes, consummate the exchange offer within 365 days of the issuance of the 2020 notes, and in certain circumstances, if required by the registration rights agreement, file a shelf registration statement.

Senior Subordinated Notes
6.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due April 2014 
Significant Terms
On March 7, 2013, we issued a notice of election to redeem $150 million of our 6.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due April 2014 (the "6.75% Notes) outstanding on April 6, 2013. The 6.75% Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price of 100.00% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, April 6, 2013. On April 15, 2004, we issued, through a private placement, $350 million principal amount of 6.75% senior subordinated notes due April 2014. In July 2004, all, except for $50 thousand in aggregate principal amount of these notes, were exchanged for substantially similar notes that were registered with the SEC. The notes require semi-annual interest payments on April 15 and October 15 of each year, through April 2014, at which time the entire principal balance becomes due and payable. The notes contain certain restrictive covenants regarding, among other things, incurrence of debt, sales of assets, mergers and consolidations, and limitations on restricted payments (as defined in the indenture governing the notes). We believe that we are in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2012. Presently, we may redeem all or a portion of the notes at a redemption price of 100% plus accrued and unpaid interest through maturity in 2014.

Senior Subordinated Notes
7.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due February 2016
Significant Terms

The notes require semi-annual interest payments on February 1 and August 1 of each year, through February 2016, at which time the entire principal balance becomes due and payable. The notes contain certain restrictive covenants regarding, among other things, incurrence of debt, sales of assets, mergers and consolidations, and limitations on restricted payments (as defined in the indenture governing the notes).

Repurchase of Senior Subordinated Notes
We did not repurchase any of our senior or senior subordinated notes during the years ended December 31, 2012 or 2011. In addition to the tender purchase and call for redemption of all of our outstanding 7.75% senior subordinated notes due 2012, as described below, during the year ended December 31, 2010, we also purchase and retired $33 million in principal amount of our senior subordinated notes during the year ended December 31, 2010. The total purchase price of the notes was $28.9 million, resulting in a gain of $3.6 million, net of associated deferred financing fees, which was recorded on our consolidated statements of operations for the respective period. The transactions were funded by the availability under our former bank credit facility.

Debt Service Requirements
Debt service requirements under our current outstanding senior subordinated notes and senior notes consist of semi- annual interest payments (based upon fixed annual interest rates ranging from 6.75% to 9.125%) and principal repayment of our 6.75% and 7.125% senior subordinated notes due on April 15, 2014 and February 1, 2016, respectively, and principal repayment of our 9.125% and 9.00% senior notes due on December 1, 2018 and July 1, 2020, respectively.

Other Notes
On November 20, 2012, Boyd completed its previously announced acquisition of Peninsula Gaming pursuant to the Merger Agreement entered into on May 16, 2012, by and among Boyd, Boyd Acquisition II, LLC ("HoldCo"), Boyd Acquisition Sub, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Boyd (“Merger Sub”), PGP and Peninsula Gaming, and HoldCo issued a promissory note that HoldCo entered into upon the closing of the acquisition (the "HoldCo Note"), in favor of PGP, for approximately $147.8 million. Discount on the note was $34.2 million leaving a note payable to PGP in the amount of $113.6 million, which is still preliminary and subject to purchase accounting adjustments. The HoldCo Note provides for interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the issue date to but excluding the first anniversary of the issue date, ) zero percent, (ii) from the first anniversary of the issue date to but excluding the second anniversary of the issue date, six percent, (iii) from the second anniversary of the issue date to but excluding the third anniversary of the issue date, eight percent, and (iv) from and after the third anniversary of the issue date, ten percent. At the option of HoldCo, interest may be paid in cash or paid-in-kind. Accrued but unpaid interest is added to the principal balance of the HoldCo Note semi-annually. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. HoldCo may prepay the obligations under the HoldCo Note at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.

Peninsula Gaming Debt
Bank Credit Facility
Credit Agreement
On November 20, 2012, Boyd completed its previously announced acquisition of Peninsula Gaming pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Merger Sub entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Peninsula Credit Agreement") dated as of November 14, 2012, with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent, swing line lender, and L/C issuer.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, Peninsula Gaming assumed all assets and liabilities of Merger Sub and became the borrower under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and, together with Peninsula Gaming Corp. upon consummation of the Finance Company Merger, the issuer of Peninsula Gaming Senior Notes (as defined below)

The Peninsula Credit Agreement provides for a $875.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “Peninsula Credit Facility”), which consists of (a) a term loan facility of $825.0 million (the “Peninsula Term Loan”) and (b) a revolving credit facility of $50.0 million (the “Peninsula Revolver”). The Peninsula Term Loan was fully funded concurrently with the closing of the Peninsula Merger. A portion of the Peninsula Revolver was funded concurrently with the closing of the acquisition. The maturity date for obligations under the Peninsula Credit Facility is November 17, 2017.

Interest and Fees
The interest rate on the outstanding balance of the Peninsula Term Loan is based upon, at Peninsula Gaming's option either: (i) the Eurodollar rate plus 4.50%, or (ii) the base rate plus 3.50%. The interest rate on the outstanding balance from time to time of the Revolving Loans is based upon, at Peninsula Gaming's option either: (i) the Eurodollar rate plus 4.00%, or (ii) the base rate plus 3.00%. The base rate under the Peninsula Credit Facility is the highest of (x) Bank of America's publicly-announced prime rate, (y) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (z) the Eurodollar rate for a one-month period plus 1.00%. The Peninsula Credit Facility also establishes, with respect to outstanding balances under the Term Loan, a minimum Eurodollar rate for any interest period of 1.25%. In addition, Peninsula Gaming will incur a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Peninsula Credit Facility at a per annum rate of 0.50%.

The blended interest rate for outstanding borrowings under our Peninsula Credit Facility was 5.7% at December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, approximately $29.4 million was outstanding under the Peninsula Revolver, with $7.9 million allocated to support various letters of credit, leaving remaining contractual availability of $12.7 million.

Guarantees and Collateral
Peninsula Gaming's obligations under the Peninsula Credit Facility, subject to certain exceptions, are guaranteed by Peninsula Gaming's subsidiaries and are secured by the capital stock and equity interests of Peninsula Gaming's subsidiaries. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, Peninsula Gaming and each of the guarantors granted the collateral agent first priority liens and security interests on substantially all of the real and personal property (other than gaming licenses and subject to certain other exceptions) of Peninsula Gaming and its subsidiaries as additional security for the performance of the obligations under the Peninsula Credit Facility. The obligations under the Revolver rank senior in right of payment to the obligations under the Term Loan.

Optional and Mandatory Prepayments
The Peninsula Credit Facility requires that Peninsula Gaming prepay the loans with proceeds of any significant asset sale or event of loss. The Peninsula Credit Facility also requires fixed quarterly amortization of principal equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Peninsula Term Loan beginning March 31, 2013 and requires that Peninsula Gaming use a portion of its annual excess cash flow to prepay the loans. The Peninsula Revolver can be terminated without premium or penalty, upon payment of the outstanding amounts owned with respect thereto. The Peninsula Term Loan can be prepaid without premium or penalty, except that a 1.0% premium is payable in connection with prepayments of the Peninsula Term Loan prior to November 20, 2013 through the issuance of indebtedness having a lower interest rate that the interest rate payable in respect of the Peninsula Term Loan.

Financial and Other Covenants
The Peninsula Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (and are subject to customary exceptions). Peninsula Gaming is required to maintain (i) maximum consolidated interest coverage ratio over each twelve month period ending on the last fiscal day of each quarter (discussed below), (ii) beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 as of the end of each calendar quarter, and (iii) a maximum amount of capital expenditures for each fiscal year.

The minimum consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is calculated as (a) the twelve-month trailing Consolidated EBITDA, to (b) consolidated interest expense.

The maximum permitted consolidated Leverage Ratio is calculated as Consolidated Fund Indebtedness less Excess Cash to twelve-month trailing Consolidated EBITDA. The following table provides our maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio during the remaining term of the Peninsula Credit Facility.

Senior Notes
Peninsula Gaming 8.375% Senior Notes Due 2018
Significant Terms
On August 16, 2012, we closed and offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 8.375% senior notes due February 2018 by Merger Sub and Boyd Acquisition Finance Corp. (“Boyd Finance Co.,” and together with Merger Sub, the “Issuers”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub. The notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated August 16, 2012 (the "Indenture") by and among the Issuers, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The consummation of the acquisition of Peninsula Gaming occurred on November 20, 2012, at which time, Peninsula Gaming and PGC assumed the obligations of the Merger Sub and Boyd Finance Co. and became the Issuers under the Indenture. The Indenture provides that the Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.375% per annum. The Notes mature on February 15, 2018. Prior to the consummation of the acquisition, the Notes were not guaranteed. Upon the consummation of the acquisition, the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by Peninsula Gaming's subsidiaries (other than PGP). The Notes contain certain restrictive covenants that, subject to exceptions and qualifications, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to incur additional indebtedness or liens, pay dividends or make distributions, make certain investments, and sell or merge with other companies. We believe that we are in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2012. In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), we will be required, unless certain conditions are met, to offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase. If we sell assets or experience an event of loss, we will be required, under certain circumstances, to offer to purchase the notes. At any time prior to August 15, 2014, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 108.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, with the net cash proceeds that the Issuers raise in one or more equity offerings.

Financial and Other Covenants
The PGL credit facility is subject to guarantee, collateral requirements and certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to incur additional indebtedness or liens, pay dividends or make distributions, make certain investments, and sell or merge with other companies.

Borgata Debt
Borgata Bank Credit Facility
Significant Terms
On August 6, 2010, Marina District Finance Company, Inc. (the “MDFC”) announced that it had closed a $950 million debt financing, consisting of the establishment of a $150 million new payment priority secured revolving credit facility (the "Borgata bank credit facility") and the issuance of $800 million of aggregate principal amount of notes. MDFC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marina District Development Company ("MDDC"), which develops and owns Borgata, and which is the guarantor of both the Borgata bank credit facility and the notes. The proceeds from the financing were used to (i) pay fees and expenses related to the financing; (ii) repay the former credit facility; and (iii) make a one-time distribution to Borgata's joint venture owners.

On November 11, 2011, MDFC entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "First Borgata Credit Facility Amendment") among MDFC, MDDC, certain other financial institutions (each a "Borgata Lender", and collectively the "Borgata Lenders") and Wells Fargo, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as administrative agent (in such capacity, "Administrative Agent") for the Borgata Lenders. The terms of the First Borgata Credit Facility Amendment modifies certain terms of the Borgata bank credit facility among Borgata, the Borgata Lenders from time to time party thereto, the Administrative Agent, and Wells Fargo.

On December 27, 2012, MDFC entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement among MDFC, MDDC ("Borgata Lenders") and Wells Fargo, as administrative agent for the Borgata Lenders that (i) decreases the minimum Consolidated EBITDA (as defined therein) to $110 million for fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2012 and thereafter, (ii) modifies the definition of Consolidated EBITDA to exclude certain losses, charges, and expenses, (iii) adjusts the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA such that for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012 through the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2013, Consolidated EBITDA will be computed by including the four fiscal quarters with the highest Consolidated EBITDA out of the most recently ended five fiscal quarters, (iv) reduces the Aggregate Commitments (as defined therein) to $60 million, (v) modifies the Use of Proceeds covenant to provide that the proceeds of revolving loans can only be used to repurchase or redeem MDFC's senior secured notes if, after giving affect thereto, the aggregate amount of outstanding loans and letters of credit under the Borgata bank credit facility does not exceed $50 million and (vi) adds a covenant prohibiting MDFC and MDDC from repurchasing or redeeming MDFC's senior secured notes at any time unless Consolidated EBITDA was at least $125 million for the most recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters prior thereto.

As amended, the Borgata bank credit facility provides for a $60 million senior secured revolving credit facility and matures in August 2014. The Borgata bank credit facility is guaranteed on a senior secured basis by MDDC and any future subsidiaries of MDDC and is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of Borgata's assets, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations under the Borgata bank credit facility have priority in payment to Borgata's senior secured notes.

Guarantees
Neither Boyd Gaming Corporation, nor its subsidiaries are guarantors of the Borgata bank credit facility, as amended.

Interest Rate
Outstanding borrowings under the Borgata bank credit facility, as amended, accrue interest at a selected rate based upon either: (i) highest of (a) the agent bank's quoted prime rate, (b) the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.00%, or (c) the daily federal funds rate plus 1.50%, and in any event not less than 1.50% (such highest rate, the "base rate"), or (ii) the Eurodollar rate, plus with respect to each clause (i) and (ii) an applicable margin as provided in the Borgata bank credit facility. In addition, a commitment fee is incurred on the unused portion of the Borgata bank credit facility ranging from 0.50% per annum to 1.00% per annum.

At December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance under the Borgata bank credit facility, as amended, was $20.0 million, which bore an interest rate of 4.94%. Contractual availability under the Borgata bank credit facility, as amended, at December 31, 2012 was $40.0 million.
Financial and Other Covenants
The Borgata bank credit facility, as amended, contains certain financial and other covenants, including, without limitation, (i) establishing a minimum consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Borgata bank credit facility) of $110 million over each trailing twelve-month period ending on the last day of each calendar quarter; (ii) imposing limitations on MDFC's ability to incur additional debt; and (iii) imposing restrictions on Borgata's ability to pay dividends and make other distributions, make certain restricted payments, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate, and engage in unrelated business activities.

Compliance with Financial Covenants
We believe that MDFC was in compliance with the amended Borgata bank credit facility covenants, including the minimum consolidated EBITDA.

Debt Financing Costs
In conjunction with the Borgata bank credit facility and the amendment thereto, during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we incurred incremental debt financing costs of $0.4 million, $1.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively, related to the Borgata bank credit facility in incremental debt financing costs, which have been deferred and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Borgata bank credit facility.

At December 31, 2012, the effective interest rate on the 9.5% notes due 2015 notes and the 9.875% notes due 2018 was 10.2% and 10.3%, respectively.

Repurchase of Senior Secured Notes
During the year ended December 31, 2011, MDFC repurchased and retired $8.5 million, principal amount, in total, of their senior secured notes, which included $2.0 million of the 9.5% notes and $6.5 million of the 9.875% notes. The total purchase price of the notes $8.2 million, resulting in a gain of $0.1 million, net of associated deferred financing fees, which is recorded as a gain on early retirement of debt in our consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Indenture
The indenture governing both the 9.5% notes and the 9.875% notes allow for the incurrence of additional indebtedness, if after giving effect to such incurrence, our coverage ratio (as defined in the indenture, essentially a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges, including interest) for a trailing four quarter period on a pro forma basis would be at least 2.0 to 1.0. Such pro forma coverage ratio was above 2.0 to 1.0 at the dates in which these respective tranches of senior secured notes were issued; however, at December 31, 2012, our coverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) is below 2.0 to 1.0. Accordingly, the indenture prohibits us from incurring new indebtedness; however, we may still borrow under the $60 million senior secured credit facility. At December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance under the Borgata bank credit facility was $20.0 million leaving contractual availability of $40.0 million.
