Boyd Gaming Corporation Debt Bank Credit Facility Credit Agreement On August 2, 2018, we entered into a Joinder Agreement (the "Joinder Agreement") to Amendment No. 2 and Refinancing Amendment (the "Credit Agreement"), among the Company, certain financial institutions and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The Joinder Agreement modified the Credit Agreement solely to join additional financial institutions as lenders and to provide for (i) increased commitments under the senior secured revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) by an amount equal to $170.5 million resulting in total availability under the Revolving Credit Facility of an amount equal to $945.5 million and (ii) commitments from lenders to make additional Term A Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an amount equal to $49.5 million resulting in aggregate outstanding Term A Loans under the Credit Agreement in an amount equal to approximately $248.4 million. Amounts Outstanding The outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility are comprised of the following:
| December 31,
(In thousands) | 2018 |  | 2017
Revolving Credit Facility | $ | 320,000 |  |  | $ | 170,000 |
Term A Loan | 248,351 |  |  | 210,938 |
Refinancing Term B Loans | 1,152,679 |  |  | 1,170,016 |
Swing Loan | 50,300 |  |  | 70,100 |
Total outstanding principal amounts | $ | 1,771,330 |  |  | $ | 1,621,054 |
The Refinancing Term B Loans mature on September 15, 2023 (or earlier upon occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events). The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term A Loan mature on September 15, 2021 (or earlier upon occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events). At December 31, 2018 approximately $1.8 billion was outstanding under the bank credit facility. With a total revolving credit commitment of $945.5 million available under the bank credit facility, $320.0 million was borrowed on the Revolving Credit Facility, $50.3 million was borrowed on the Swing Loan and $12.7 million allocated to support various letters of credit, the remaining contractual availability of $562.5 million. Interest and Fees The interest rate on the outstanding balance from time to time of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term A Loan is based upon, at the Company’s option, either: (i) the Eurodollar rate or (ii) the base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is a percentage per annum determined in accordance with a specified pricing grid based on the total leverage ratio and ranges from 1.75% to 2.75% (if using the Eurodollar rate) and from 0.75% to 1.75% (if using the base rate). A fee of a percentage per annum (which ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% determined in accordance with a specified pricing grid based on the total leverage ratio) will be payable on the unused portions of the Revolving Credit Facility. The interest rate on the outstanding balance of the Refinancing Term B Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement is based upon, at the Company’s option, either: (i) the Eurodollar rate or (ii) the base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is a percentage per annum determined in accordance with the Company’s secured leverage ratio and ranges from 2.25% to 2.50% (if using the Eurodollar rate) and from 1.25% to 1.50% (if using the base rate). The "base rate" under the Credit Agreement remains 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%. Optional and Mandatory Prepayments Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility (i) the loans under the Term A Loan amortize in an annual amount equal to 5.00% of the original principal amount thereof, commencing December 31, 2016, payable on a quarterly basis, (ii) the loans under the Refinancing Term B Loans amortize in an annual amount equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount thereof, commencing June 30, 2017, payable on a quarterly basis, and (iii) beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, the Company is required to use a portion of its annual Excess Cash Flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to prepay loans outstanding under the Credit Facility. Amounts outstanding under the Refinancing Amendment may be prepaid without premium or penalty, and the commitments may be terminated without penalty, subject to certain exceptions. 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. Guarantees and Collateral 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 will grant 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. The Credit Facility includes an accordion feature which permits an increase in the Revolving Credit Facility and the issuance and increase of senior secured term loans in an amount up to (i) $550.0 million, plus (ii) certain voluntary permanent reductions of the Revolving Credit Facility and certain voluntary prepayments of the senior secured term loans, plus (iii) certain reductions in the outstanding principal amounts under the term loans or the Revolving Credit Facility, plus (iv) any additional amount if, after giving effect thereto, the First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) would not exceed 4.25 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis, less (v) any Incremental Equivalent Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Financial and Other Covenants The Credit Facility contains certain financial and other covenants, including, without limitation, various covenants: (i) requiring the maintenance of a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio 1.75 to 1.00; (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. The maximum permitted consolidated Total Leverage Ratio is calculated as Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to twelve-month trailing Consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the Agreement. The following table provides our maximum Total Leverage Ratio during the remaining term of the Credit Facility:
| Maximum Total
For the Trailing Four Quarters Ending | Leverage Ratio
March 31, 2018 through December 31, 2018 | 6.25 | to | 1.00
March 31, 2019 through December 31, 2019 | 6.00 | to | 1.00
March 31, 2020 through December 31, 2020 | 5.75 | to | 1.00
March 31, 2021 and thereafter | 5.50 | to | 1.00
The maximum permitted Secured Leverage Ratio is calculated as Secured Indebtedness to twelve-month trailing Consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the Agreement. The following table provides our maximum Secured Leverage Ratio during the remaining term of the Credit Facility:
| Maximum Secured
For the Trailing Four Quarters Ending | Leverage Ratio
March 31, 2018 through December 31, 2018 | 4.00 | to | 1.00
March 31, 2019 through December 31, 2019 | 3.75 | to | 1.00
March 31, 2020 and thereafter | 3.50 | to | 1.00
Current Maturities of Our Indebtedness We classified certain non-extending balances under our Credit Facility as a current maturity, as such amounts come due within the next twelve months. Senior Notes 6.000% Senior Notes due August 2026 Significant Terms On June 25, 2018, we issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% senior notes due August 2026 (the "6.000% Notes"). The 6.000% Notes require semi-annual interest payments on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2018. The 6.000% Notes will mature on August 15, 2026 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 or will be, as applicable, 100% owned by us. The net proceeds from the debt issuance were ultimately used to fund the acquisitions of Valley Forge and the four Pinnacle properties. In conjunction with the issuance of the 6.000% Notes, we incurred approximately $11.3 million in debt financing costs that have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the 6.000% Notes using the effective interest method. The 6.000% 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 6.000% Notes, the "Indenture") 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. 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 6.000% Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 6.000% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture), if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase. If we sell assets, we will be required under certain circumstances to offer to purchase the 6.000% Notes. At any time prior to August 15, 2021, we may redeem the 6.000% Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest (as defined in the indenture governing the 6.000% Notes), if any, up to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, plus a make-whole premium. On or after August 15, 2021, we may redeem all or a portion of the 6.000% Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) ranging from 103% in 2021 to 100% in 2024 and thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. In connection with this private placement of the 6.000% Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers in which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to permit the holders to exchange or resell the 6.000% Notes. We filed the required registration statement and commenced the exchange offer during June 2018. The exchange offer was completed on July 9, 2018 and our obligations under the registration rights agreement have been fulfilled. 6.375% Senior Notes due April 2026 On March 28, 2016, we issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due April 2026 (the "6.375% Notes"). The 6.375% Notes require semi-annual interest payments on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2016. The 6.375% Notes will mature on April 1, 2026 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. Net proceeds from the 6.375% Notes were used to pay down the outstanding amount under the Revolving Credit Facility and the balance was deposited in money market funds and classified as cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets. In conjunction with the issuance of the 6.375% Notes, we incurred approximately $13.0 million in debt financing costs that have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the 6.375% Notes using the effective interest method. The 6.375% 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 base and supplemental indentures governing the 6.375% Notes, together, the "6.375% Indenture") 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. In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the 6.375% Indenture), we will be required, unless certain conditions are met, to offer to repurchase the 6.375% Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 6.375% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest (as defined in the 6.375% Indenture), 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 6.375% Notes. At any time prior to April 1, 2021, we may redeem the 6.375% Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, plus a make whole premium. After April 1, 2021, we may redeem all or a portion of the 6.375% Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) ranging from 103.188% in 2021 to 100% in 2024 and thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest. 6.875% Senior Notes due May 2023 On May 21, 2015, we issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due May 2023 (the "6.875% Notes"). The 6.875% Notes require semi-annual interest payments on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 6.875% Notes will mature on May 15, 2023 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 6.875% 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 base and supplemental indentures governing the 6.875% Notes, together, the "6.875% Indenture") 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. In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the 6.875% Indenture), we will be required, unless certain conditions are met, to offer to repurchase the 6.875% Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 6.875% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest (as defined in the 6.875% Indenture), 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 6.875% Notes. We may redeem all or a portion of the 6.875% Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) ranging from 105.156% in 2018 to 100% in 2021 and thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest. In conjunction with the issuance of the 6.875% Notes, we incurred approximately $14.0 million in debt financing costs that have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the 6.875% Notes using the effective interest method. Other Notes On October 15, 2018, Boyd completed the acquisition of the Pinnacle Properties. Concurrently with the acquisition, Boyd (Ohio) PropCo, LLC, acquired the real estate associated with Belterra Park in Cincinnati, Ohio (the "Belterra Park Real Property Sale") utilizing mortgage financing from a subsidiary of GLPI, pursuant to the Belterra Park Purchase Agreement, and a Novation Agreement. Pursuant to the Novation Agreement, Gold Merger Sub, the original purchaser under the Belterra Park Purchase Agreement, assigned, transferred and conveyed to Boyd PropCo and Boyd PropCo accepted Gold Merger Sub’s rights, title and interest in the Belterra Park Purchase Agreement ("Belterra Park Note"). The total Belterra Park Note payable to Gold Merger Sub is $57.7 million. The Belterra Park Note provides for interest at a per annum for any monthly period equal to (a) the sum of (i) the building base rent, as defined in the master lease agreement, payable for such period annualized, plus (ii) the land base rent, as defined in the master lease agreement, payable for such period annualized, plus (iii) the percentage rent, as defined in the master lease agreement, payable for such period annualized divided by (b) the outstanding principal balance of this Belterra Park Note, divided by (c) the number twelve. The interest rate as of December 31, 2018 is 11.11%. Interest payments are due monthly with a balloon payment for the outstanding principal due at the maturity date. The maturity date is the earlier to occur of (a) the expiration of the master lease term and (b) the termination of the master lease agreement. Loss on Early Extinguishments and Modifications of Debt The components of the loss on early extinguishments and modifications of debt, are as follows:

Covenant Compliance As of December 31, 2018, we believe that we were in compliance with the financial and other covenants of our debt instruments. The indentures governing the notes issued by the Company contain provisions that allow for the incurrence of additional indebtedness, if after giving effect to such incurrence, the coverage ratio (as defined in the respective indentures, essentially a ratio of the Company's consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges, including interest) for the Company's trailing four quarter period on a pro forma basis would be at least 2.0 to 1.0. Should this provision prohibit the incurrence of additional debt, the Company may still borrow under its existing credit facility. At December 31, 2018, the available borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility was $562.5 million. Scheduled Maturities of Long-Term Debt The scheduled maturities of long-term debt, as discussed above, are as follows:
