On November 3, 2011, Boyd Gaming Corporation (the “Company”), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “November 3 Form 8-K”) disclosing that it entered into a Lender Joinder Agreement (the “Lender Joinder Agreement”), dated as of November 2, 2011, among the Company, Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as the Administrative Agent, and Bank of America, as the Increasing Lender, providing for, among other things, the Increased Term Loan. The November 3, 2011 Form 8-K also disclosed that the funding of the Increased Term Loan was to occur on November 10, 2011, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Lender Joinder Agreement, and that the proceeds from the Increased Term Loan, together with other borrowings under the Credit Agreement, would be used to repay in full the Company's outstanding Class B Revolving Loans under the Credit Agreement.

On November 10, 2011, the Increased Term Loan was funded and the Company, pursuant to the terms of the conditional Notice of Termination of the Class B Revolving Loan Commitments previously delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Company in conjunction with the Lender Joinder Agreement, repaid in full the outstanding balance of the Class B Revolving Loans under the Credit Agreement and terminated all of the Class B Revolving Loan Commitments.

The description of the Lender Joinder Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lender Joinder Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the November 3 Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms and set forth in the November 3 Form 8-K.
