ITEM 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
On April 24, 2015, the Company received a notice from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the Administrative Agent) under its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2014 (the Credit Facility), by and among the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto, that, effective as of April 27, 2015, the borrowing base under its Credit Facility has been decreased from $1 billion to $750 million as part of the Companys regularly scheduled semi-annual redetermination by its lenders. The decrease in the Companys borrowing base under the Credit Facility resulted in a deficiency of approximately $250 million, which must be repaid in six monthly installments of approximately $41.54 million, with the first payment being due at the end of May. The new $750 million borrowing base will be in effect until the Companys next borrowing base redetermination for the Credit Facility.
