Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 30, 2010, the Company’s revolving credit facility with Sovereign Bank of Dallas, Texas (“Sovereign”)was assigned, at the request of the Company to F&M Bank & Trust Company (“F&M Bank”) also located in Dallas, Texas. Under the facility as assigned, loans and letters of credit continue to be available to the Company on a revolving basis in an amount outstanding not to exceed the lesser of $20 million or the Company’s borrowing base in effect from time to time. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s producing and non-producing oil and gas properties and pipeline and the Company’s methane project assets. The credit facility includes certain covenants with which the Company is required to comply. These include cove nants concerning leverage, interest coverage, minimum liquidity, and general and administrative coverage ratios.
On July 30, 2010, the Company and F&M Bank also entered into an amendment to the credit facility, which increased the Company’s borrowing base from $11 million to $14 million, set the interest rate to the greater of prime plus 0.25% or 5.25% per annum, eliminated the monthly commitment reduction, and changed the maturity date to January 30, 2012.
The next borrowing base review under the credit facility as assigned and amended will take place in January 2011. The total borrowing by the Company under the facility prior to the assignment and amendment of the facility was $9.9 million. Although the borrowing base has been increased by the amendment effective July 30, 2010, the Company has not undertaken any additional borrowing under the credit facility and the borrowings under the credit facility remain at $9.9 million.
