As of this date, the Company has drawn a total of $21.5 million, of which $15.0 million was fully drawn on the Term Loan Agreement and $6.5 million was drawn on the Credit Agreement.
The Company had informed CIT Energy that it was unable to comply with the interest and debt coverage covenants contained in Sections 9.01(a) and 9.01(b) of the Credit Agreement and Section 9.01 (b) of the Term Loan Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 and requested a waiver of the defaults. The administrative agent and the lenders have agreed to waive the defaults.
The terms of the Credit Agreement and Term Loan Agreement were further amended as follows:
Under the Credit Agreement, the Company must have (A) a ratio of EBITDAX to Interest Expense of not less than 2.0:1.0 for the first and second fiscal quarters of 2009, 2.25:1.0 for the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2009, and 2.5:1.0 for each fiscal quarter thereafter; (B) a ratio of Net Debt to EBITDAX of not more than 6.5:1.0 for the fiscal quarters of 2009, 6.0:1.0 for the fiscal quarters of 2010, and 5.0:1 for each fiscal quarter thereafter; (C) a ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current liabilities of not less than 1.0:1.0 for each fiscal quarter; and (D) a ratio of Credit Agreement debt to EBITDAX of not more than 2.75:1.0 for each fiscal quarter. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at either a fluctuating base rate or a rate equal to LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 2.50%) plus, in each case, a margin determined based on our utilization of the borrowing base. The amendment includes an increase in the margin of 50 basis points.
Under the Term Loan Agreement, the Company must have (A) a ratio of Total Reserve Value to Debt of not less than 1.75:1.0; and (B) a ratio of Net Debt to EBITDAX of not more than 6.5:1.0 for the fiscal quarters of 2009 and 2010 and 5.5:1 for the fiscal quarters of 2011 each fiscal quarter ending thereafter. Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest, at our option, at either a fluctuating base rate plus 6.50% per annum or a rate equal to LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 2.50%) plus 7.50% per annum.
