NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower and the Lender hereby
agree to amend the agreement as follows:
A. CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
1. The definition of "Maturity Date" set forth at Section 1.2 of the
-------------
Agreement, Additional Defined Terms, is hereby amended and restated in its
------------------------
entirety to renew and extend the line of credit by deleting the reference
therein to "January 15, 2000" and replacing it with "January 15, 2001".
2. Section 2.9(b) of the Agreement, Borrowing Base Determinations
-----------------------------
and Monthly Borrowing Base Reductions, is hereby amended and restated in its
-------------------------------------
entirety to change the dates as follows:
2.9 Borrowing Base Determinations and Monthly Borrowing Base
--------------------------------------------------------
Reductions.
----------
(b) Subsequent Borrowing Base Determinations shall be made by the
Lender at least semi-annually on July 1 and January 1 (each a
"Determination Date") of each year beginning July 1, 2000 or at any other
time as an Unscheduled Borrowing Base Determination. In connection with,
and as of, each Borrowing Base Determination, the Lender shall also
determine the Monthly Borrowing Base Reduction and Half Life of the
Borrower's Oil and Gas Properties. Borrower shall provide Lender with
engineering information pursuant to the terms of Section 6.4 below. Lender
shall, by notice to the Borrower by each Determination Date each year, or
within a reasonable time thereafter, notify the Borrower of the designation
by the Lender of the new Borrowing Base, Monthly Borrowing Base Reduction
and Half Life of the Borrower's Oil and Gas Properties for the period
beginning on such Determination Date and continuing until, but not
including, the next Determination Date. If an Unscheduled Borrowing Base
Determination is made by the Lender, the Lender shall notify the Borrower
within a reasonable time after receipt of all requested information of the
new Borrowing Base, Monthly Borrowing Base Reduction, and Half Life of the
Borrower's Oil and Gas Properties and such new Borrowing Base, Monthly
2
Borrowing Base Reduction, and Half Life of the Borrower's Oil and Gas
Properties shall continue until the next Borrowing Base Determination. If
the Borrower does not furnish all such information, reports and data by any
date specified in this Section 2.9.2 or Section 6.4, the Lender may
nonetheless designate the Borrowing Base, Monthly Borrowing Base
Reduction, and Half Life of the Borrower's Oil and Gas Properties at any
amounts which the Lender in its discretion determines and may redesignate
the Borrowing Base, Monthly Borrowing Base Reduction, and Half Life of the
Borrower's Oil and Gas Properties from time to time thereafter until the
Lender receives all such information, reports and data, whereupon the
Lender shall designate a new Borrowing Base, Monthly Borrowing Base
Reduction, and Half Life of the Borrower's Oil and Gas Properties as
described above. At each Borrowing Base Determination Lender shall
determine the amount of the Borrowing Base, Monthly Borrowing Base
Reduction, and Half Life of the Borrower's Oil and Gas Properties based
upon the Lender's evaluation of the Collateral which Lender in its
discretion (using such methodology, assumptions and discounts rates as
Lender customarily uses in assigning collateral value to oil and gas
properties, oil and gas gathering systems, gas processing and plant
operations) assigns to such Oil and Gas Properties and other Collateral of
the Borrower at the time in question and based upon such other credit
factors consistently applied (including, without limitation, the assets,
liabilities, cash flow, business, properties, prospects, management and
ownership of the Borrower and its Affiliates) as Lender customarily
considers in evaluating similar oil and gas loans. If at any time any of
the Oil and Gas Properties are sold, the Borrowing Base then in effect
shall automatically be reduced by a sum equal to the amount of prepayment
required to be made pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof. It is expressly
understood that the Lender has no obligation to designate the Borrowing
Base, Monthly Borrowing Base Reduction or Half Life of the Borrower's Oil
and Gas Properties at any particular amounts, except in the exercise of its
discretion, whether in relation to the Commitment or otherwise. Provided,
however, that the Lender shall not have the obligation to designate a
Borrowing Base in an amount in excess of the Commitment or its legal or
internal lending limits.
3. Section 6.4 of the Agreement, Reserve Reports, is hereby amended
---------------
and restated in its entirety to change the dates as follows:
3
6.4 Reserve Reports.
---------------
(a) Deliver to the Lender no later than June 1, 2000, and each June 1
thereafter during the term of this Agreement and, upon request, in
conjunction with any Unscheduled Redetermination, engineering reports
prepared by an independent third party engineer approved by Lender (and/or
such other appropriate information acceptable to Lender) covering or
pertaining to Borrower's Oil and Gas Properties in form and substance
acceptable to Lender setting forth (i) the proven producing and proven non-
producing oil and gas reserves (separately classified as such) attributable
to the Oil and Gas Properties as of each January 1 of each year for which
the Reserve Reports are furnished, (ii) the aggregate present value
determined on the basis of stated pricing assumptions, of the future net
income with respect to such Oil and Gas Properties, discounted at a stated
per annum discount rate of proven and producing reserves, and (iii)
projections of the annual rate of production, gross income and net income
with respect to such proven and producing reserves.
(b) The report provided pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be
-----------
submitted to the Lender together with additional data as the Lender may
reasonably request concerning pricing, quantities of production from the
Oil and Gas Properties, purchasers of production and engineering and
geological data. By December 1 of each year and, upon request, in
conjunction with Unscheduled Redeterminations, Borrower shall provide
Lender with such other reserve information as Lender may reasonably request
to complete its semi annual redetermination of the Borrowing Base, Monthly
Borrowing Base Reduction, and Half Life of the Borrower's Oil and Gas
Properties.
(c) In conjunction with the Reserve Report, Borrower shall furnish
Lender a report on the status of all gas balancing affecting any of the Oil
and Gas Properties.
4. Section 7.2 of the Agreement, Debt Service Coverage Ratio , is
---------------------------
hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
7.2 Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Beginning with the quarterly
---------------------------
reporting period ending December 31, 1999 and each quarter thereafter,
Borrower shall maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio, calculated on a
quarterly basis, of not less than 1:1. For the purposes of this
calculation, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is defined as the quotient of
(i) the sum of Borrower's Pretax Net Income (as defined by GAAP) less cash
taxes, less dividends, plus depletion, depreciation, amortization and
interest expense for the quarter then ended DIVIDED BY (i) the sum of the
----------
greater of (a) the quarterly sum of the Monthly Borrowing Base Reductions
required at the last redetermination of the Borrowing Base or (b) the
4
quarterly principal reductions required assuming a level amortization of
the Loan Balance as of the quarter end over the Half Life of Borrower's Oil
and Gas Properties, plus interest expense, including any accrued and unpaid
interest on the MidFirst Debt (less any accrued and unpaid interest on
other subordinated debt ) for the quarter then ended, plus any other
current maturities of long term debt (to include the "Contingent Production
Payment" payable to Coral Reserves, Inc., Coral Reserves Energy Corp.,
and/or Coral Reserves Group, Ltd., and/or any Affiliate thereof). For the
purposes of this covenant, "Half Life of the Borrower's Oil and Gas
Properties" shall be defined as the duration, in months, as projected by
Lender, in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, during which one-half of
the undiscounted future net income, net of lease operating expenses,
production taxes, and capital expenditures will be realized from the
Borrower's Oil and Gas Properties. The Lender's calculation of the Half
Life of the Borrower's Oil and Gas Properties shall be determined and
communicated to Borrower with each redetermination of the Borrowing Base
and Monthly Borrowing Base Reduction.
5. Borrower's requirement to maintain a certain Tangible Net Worth
is hereby eliminated beginning with calendar quarter ending December 31, 1999;
therefore, Section 7.3 of the Agreement, Tangible Net Worth is hereby deleted
------------------
and the phrase "Intentionally Deleted" is inserted in its place as follows:
7.3. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
B. NOTICES. Pursuant to Section 2.9 and Section 7.2 of the Agreement,
the Borrower is hereby notified that effective as of January 1, 2000, the
Borrowing Base has been redetermined at $17,804,000.00, which such amount shall
be further subject to a Monthly Borrowing Base Reduction of $215,000.00
beginning February 1, 2000. Also effective January 1, 2000, the Half Life of
the Borrower's Oil and Gas Properties has been redetermined at eighty-three (83)
months. The Borrowing Base, Monthly Borrowing Base Reduction and Half Life of
the Borrower's Oil and Gas Properties referenced herein shall remain in effect
until the earlier of (i) July 1, 2000 (the next scheduled Determination Date) or
(ii) an Unscheduled Redetermination.
