On April 15, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an Twelfth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Twelfth Amendment”) amending that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2010, as amended by the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) dated April 18, 2011, the Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Second Amendment”) dated April 25, 2011, the Third Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Third Amendment”) dated April 13, 2012, the Fourth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Fourth Amendment”) dated December 7, 2012, the Fifth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Fifth Amendment”) dated December 27, 2012, the Sixth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Sixth Amendment”) dated March 22, 2013, the Seventh Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Seventh Amendment”) dated April 15, 2013, the Eighth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Eighth Amendment”) dated December 13, 2013, the Ninth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Ninth Amendment”) dated March 7, 2014, the Tenth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Tenth Amendment”) dated March 14, 2014 and the Eleventh Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Eleventh Amendment”) dated December 30, 2014 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders party thereto.

The Twelfth Amendment provides for the following:

 

  i. Redetermines the Company’s Borrowing Base at $275 million effective April 15, 2015 (which constitutes the redetermination scheduled to occur on April 1, 2015 under the Credit Agreement);

 

  ii. Provides for the sale by the Company of the oil and gas properties in Howard and Martin Counties, Texas (which are covered by the Purchase and Sale Agreement executed on March 27, 2015), subject to a $5 million automatic reduction in the Borrowing Base upon the closing of such sale; and

 

  iii. (A) Extends the deadline for incurring up to $50 million of additional loans (“Second Lien Incremental Loans”) under the Secured Term Loan Agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) dated December 30, 2014 between the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as Guarantors, Bank of Montreal, as Administrative Agent and the lenders parties thereto (the “Second Lien Lenders”) to May 31, 2015, (B) amends the claw back provision related thereto such that the Borrowing Base will be reduced automatically upon such incurrence by an amount equal to 20% of the principal amount of such Second Lien Incremental Loans (rather than the 90% claw back provision currently in effect) and (C) modifies the maximum first lien leverage ratio covenant so that the ratio level will not step down to 2.0 to 1.0 until the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Second Lien debt exceeds $200 million (rather than when it equals or exceeds $200 million); provided that such amendments in this subsection (iii) will be contingent upon the Second Lien Lenders waiving any required prepayment of Second Lien debt in connection with the sale of the oil and gas properties described in paragraph (ii) above.
