NOTE 10. NOTES PAYABLE

Notes payable consisted of the following at December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Term loan credit facility. In August 2016, we entered into a term loan agreement for an aggregate principal amount of $10,500,000 (the "Term Loan"). Proceeds of the Term Loan were primarily used to prepay in full the outstanding notes payable to unrelated parties. The remainder of the proceeds from the Term Loan will be used for general corporate purposes and working capital needs. The Term Loan is secured by a senior lien on our assets. We issued the Warrants to the lenders in conjunction with the Term Loan. See Note 14.

Under the Term Loan, we are subject to quarterly financial covenants that, among other things, limit our annual capital expenditures (as defined in the Term Loan agreement), and require us to maintain a specified leverage ratio and minimum EBITDA amount, each of which are defined in the Term Loan agreement. We were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Term Loan Agreement as of December 31, 2016.

During the initial twelve-month period of the Term Loan, the outstanding principal will accrue interest at the rate of 14.0% per annum.

Thereafter, the outstanding principal will accrue interest at the lesser of 14.0% per annum or 12.5% per annum for any quarterly period in which we achieve a specified leverage ratio.

The Term Loan requires quarterly interest-only payments through December 31, 2016 after which we are required to make quarterly principal payments of $262,500 plus accrued interest. The remaining principal and any unpaid interest will be payable in full on August 29, 2021. Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan, in full or in part, are permitted after the first anniversary of the Term Loan, subject to certain premiums. The Term Loan also requires certain mandatory prepayments in the amount of 100% of the proceeds from certain asset dispositions (other than in the ordinary course of business) and certain other extraordinary events, and 25% of the proceeds from the sale and issuance of capital stock. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral for the Term Loan. 

Notes payable, related party. See Note 3.

Note payable, unrelated party.  In connection with an asset acquisition completed in October 2011 with Prime Table Games, LLC, we executed the PTG Notes, which consisted of a promissory note payable for $12.2 million, and another promissory note payable for £6.4 million GBP ($10.0 million USD). The PTG Notes were recorded net of a debt discount of $1,530,000. The effective interest rate of the notes was 6% and 7% during 2015 and 2016, respectively.  These notes were repaid in full in connection with the Term Loan agreement executed in August 2016.  Concurrently with the repayment of PTG Notes, $515,037 of unamortized debt discount was recorded as loss on debt extinguishment.

Maturities of our notes payable as of December 31, 2016 are as follows:
