(the “Company”) entered into a Consent, Waiver and First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“TCB Amendment”) with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. (“TCB”) thereby increasing the Company’s borrowing base to $9,500,000. This TCB Amendment, which is effective February 29, 2012, amended that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) entered into by and between the Company and TCB on January 31, 2011.  The Credit Agreement provided the Company with an initial borrowing base of $4,000,000 but provided that the amount available under the Credit Agreement could be increased by TCB up to $25,000,000 based on the Company’s reserve reports and the value of the Company’s oil and gas properties.

Prior to the redemption, the maximum borrowing amount available under the Credit Agreement was limited to $5,000,000 unless the trustee for the Pure Debentures consented to the increase. The redemption of the Pure Debentures allowed for the increase in the borrowing base.
