Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported, on June 29, 2012, we entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Apollo Investment Corporation (“Apollo”), as Administrative Agent and Lender. The Loan Agreement provides for a credit facility of up to $100 million (the “Apollo Credit Facility”) with an initial availability of $55 million. We have entered into Waiver and Amendment No. 5, dated July 11, 2013 (the “Amendment”) with Apollo under the Apollo Credit Facility. The fee for the Amendment was $100,000.00.
The principal purpose of the Amendment was to extend the Maintenance Covenant Compliance Date to October 31, 2013. In addition, and among other things, the Amendment extends the date by which certain liens must be lifted, provides an extension of the time frame in which we must provide certain routine deliverables to Apollo, allows us to enter into an arrangement with the Tennessee Oil and Gas Association as compensation for communication efforts from which we benefit and reduces restrictions on the transfer of Stock by our senior management.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
