ITEM 8.01. Other Events.
On December 17, 2010, Biggest Little Investments, L.P. (the
?Partnership?) participated in first and second senior credit facilities with
a group led by a major bank in the aggregate amount of $75 million (the
?Credit Facility?) to a new casino being developed in Grand Falls, Iowa (the
?Borrower?). The Partnership?s commitment to the Credit Facility is $3 million
under the first lien senior credit facility consisting of a $40 million term
loan and a $10 million revolving loan (the ?First Facility?), and $1.5 million
under the second lien senior credit facility consisting of a $25 million term
loan (the ?Second Facility?). The Credit Facility may be utilized by the
Borrower for a portion of development and construction costs of the casino
(the ?Project?), to pay for fees and expenses in connection with the Project
and for initial working capital needs after completion of the Project.
The First Facility matures on December 17, 2014; the Second Facility
matures on December 17, 2015. Borrowings are secured by liens on all present
and future equity interests of the Borrower and guarantors, substantially all
of the real and personal property of the Borrower and guarantors and all
products, profits, rents and proceeds of the foregoing. The Credit Facility is
guaranteed by the Borrower?s parent company and affiliates of the Borrower
have signed a completion guaranty on the Project.
The Credit Facility contains covenants customary and typical for a
facility of this nature, including, but not limited to, covenants restricting
the use of proceeds, the Borrower?s ability to merge, transfer ownership,
incur additional indebtedness, encumber assets and make certain investments.
The Credit Facility also contains covenants that allow the lead lender to
monitor construction of the Project, as well as covenants requiring that the
Borrower maintain certain minimum financial ratios.
The available commitment under the revolving loan is subject to quarterly
reductions commencing on the earlier of either the second full quarter after
the completion of the Project or March 30, 2012. The Borrower may permanently
reduce the maximum commitment available and the revolving loan may be prepaid
without penalty at any time after December 10, 2012 (certain LIBOR breakage
costs and call protection fees are applicable prior to December 17, 2012).
The Borrower paid various one-time fees and other loan costs upon the
closing of the Credit Facility.
At the Borrower?s option, the First Facility will bear interest based
either on a base rate (as defined in the Credit Facility agreement) plus an
interest rate margin of 6.00%, or on one, three or six-month LIBOR rate plus
an interest rate margin of 7.00% (in no event shall LIBOR be less than
2.00%). The First Facility will bear a 1.50% upfront fee and a 2.00% annual
non-usage fee payable to the Partnership; such funds are to be totally
advanced by August 15, 2011. The Second Facility will bear interest at a rate
of 15.00%. Interest started accruing on December 17, 2010 and may not be
prepaid until the First Facility is paid off. Any pre-payment on the Second
Facility prior to December 10, 2013 is subject to call protection fees. The
Second Facility may only be drawn on after an initial $50 million in Borrower
equity is spent on the construction of the casino project. The First Facility
may only be drawn on after the Second Facility has been fully drawn on.
All participants, including the Partnership, executed an intercreditor
agreement concerning the sharing of collateral contributions among the
participants.

The Partnership?s General Partner will receive a mortgage placement fee
of 1.5% of the Partnership?s total commitment under the Credit Facility for
its services in connection with the placement of the Credit Facility.
