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. On December 9, 2013, we entered into the Waiver and Amendment No. 8 (the “Amendment”) with Apollo under the Loan Agreement. There was no fee for this Amendment.
The principal waiver contained in the Amendment waived a default of the interest coverage ratio covenant included in Section 7.17(a) of the Loan Agreement for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2013. The Amendment also contained certain amendments intended to (i) permit the proposed acquisition of certain oil and gas assets and a related entity by Cook Inlet Energy, LLC from Armstrong Cook Inlet, LLC, GMT Exploration Company, LLC, Dale Resources Alaska, LLC, Jonah Gas Company, LLC, and Nerd Gas Company and the issuance of a corporate guaranty of certain obligations related to that acquisition, (ii) delay the requirement that we maintain compliance with the interest coverage ratio covenant until the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2014, and (iii) increase the covenant levels of the minimum daily gross production covenant included in Section 7.17(c) of the Loan Agreement.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
