Dear Mr. Loyd:
MidFirst is reducing the MFB Margined Collateral Value to $65,000,000 in connection with the fall of 2024 redetermination of the Borrowing Base referenced in the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, such a reduction in the MFB Margined Collateral Value necessitates an increase in the minimum required hedging from 25% to 50% pursuant to Section 7.18 of the Credit Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and MidFirst hereby agree that the Borrower may satisfy the requirements of Section 7.18 of the Credit Agreement by either (a) making one or more principal payments to MidFirst in aggregate amount such that the Utilization Percentage shall no longer exceed 50%, or (b) entering into (an thereafter maintaining in effect) one or more Swap Contracts to the extent necessary to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with Section 7.18, in either case, by no later than March 7, 2025 (the ”Compliance Alternatives”).
The Compliance Alternatives shall not extend to any other changes to the MFB Margined Collateral Value (or any other component of the Required Hedging Percentage) triggering an increase to the hedging required by Section 7.18 of the Credit Agreement, and such Compliance Alternatives is granted without prejudice to, and does not constitute a waiver or release of, the Borrowers’ obligations pursuant to Section 7.18 of the Credit Agreement.
Executed this 6th day of January, 2025.
