CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATION
 
Our Indiana subsidiary, Gaming Entertainment (Indiana) LLC ("GEI"), leases a 104-room hotel at Rising Star Casino Resort. At any time during the lease term, we have the exclusive option to purchase the hotel at a price based upon the project’s actual cost of $7.7 million, reduced by the cumulative principal payments made by the Company during the lease term.  At March 31, 2016, such net amount was $6.0 million. Upon expiration of the lease term, either (i) the Landlord has the right to sell the hotel to us, or (ii) we have the option to purchase the hotel.  In either case, the purchase price is $1 plus closing costs. The hotel lease agreement is not guaranteed by the parent company or any subsidiary.

On March 16, 2016, the hotel lease agreement was amended. The amendment extended the initial term of the lease by four years to October 1, 2027 and modified the rent payment schedule. The rental rate has been reduced from $77,537 per month as follows: (i) to $48,537 per month from April 2016 through March 2017, (ii) to $56,537 per month from April 2017 through March 2018; (iii) to $57,537 per month from April 2018 through March 2019; and (iv) to $63,537 per month from April 2019 through March 2020. Beginning April 1, 2020 through the end of the lease, the scheduled monthly payment shall be $54,326. The amendment also requires the Company to make certain improvements to the Rising Star Casino Resort of at least $1 million by March 31, 2017 which the Company had been planning.
