Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 8, 2010, we entered into a First Amendment to our existing credit agreement with Calyon New York Branch, as sole lead arranger and administrative agent, KeyBank National Association, as documentation agent, CIBC, Inc., Union Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. We paid a fee of $140,625 in connection with the amendment, which modified the existing credit agreement in the following respects, among others:
  The “Total Leverage” financial covenant was liberalized to 5.25 to 1.0 for 2010.
 
  The “Senior Leverage” financial covenant was liberalized to 4.25 to 1.0 for 2010.
 
  The lenders’ total commitment was reduced from $50 million to $37.5 million.
 
  The provision allowing us to increase the size of the facility under certain circumstances was deleted.
 
  Interest payable on Eurodollar borrowings was increased to 325 basis points over LIBOR, while interest payable on base rate loans was increased to 225 basis points over the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate, whichever is greater.
 
  The per annum fee on the unused commitment was increased to 50 basis points.
 
  We agreed that we would not encumber any of the following hotels:
    Red Lion Hotel Denver Southeast — Aurora, Colorado;
 
    Red Lion Hotel Anaheim — Anaheim, California;
 
    Red Lion Hotel Pocatello — Pocatello, Idaho; or
 
    Red Lion Templin’s Resort — Post Falls, Idaho.
  We agreed that, if we disposed of any of these four hotels, we would apply a specified portion of the disposition proceeds to prepay the facility, and the commitment under the facility would be reduced by the amount of the prepayment.
The foregoing summary of the amendment is qualified by the express terms of the amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10 to this current report.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
The information described above under “Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement” is hereby incorporated by reference.
