- | change the Ratio of Senior Secured Funded Debt to EBITDAX to a ratio of no greater than 3.0 to 1.0 for the most recent period of four fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available and extended the Covenant Relief End Date though the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2016; |
- | change the Ratio of Total Debt to EBITDAX after the Covenant Relief End Date to permit the Partnership’s ratio of Total Debt as of such date to EBITDAX for the most recent period of four fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available to be no greater than (a) for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, 5.50 to 1.0, (b) for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, 5.25 to 1.0 and (c) for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2018 and thereafter, 4.25 to 1.0; |
- | increase the applicable margin rate the Partnership pays on alternate base rate (ABR) loans ranging from and including 0.75% and 1.75% per annum, determined by the percentage of the borrowing base then in effect that is drawn, with no premium paid for covenant relief; |
- | increase the applicable margin rate the Partnership pays on Eurodollar loans ranging from and including 1.75% and 2.75% per annum, determined by the percentage of the borrowing base then in effect that is drawn, with no premium paid for covenant relief; |
- | reduce the commitment fee the Partnership pays ranging from and including 0.375% and 0.500% on the average daily amount of the unused amount of the commitments under the Credit Facility; and |
- | allow for up to $50 million in cash of the Partnership to be used for the redemption of the Partnership’s existing senior notes, provided that the proceeds of the Credit Facility are not used. |
