Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”).  The Thirteenth Amendment provides that the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement shall be reduced by $250 for each $1,000 in stated principal amount of senior notes issued by any credit party under the Credit Agreement, provided that no such reduction shall be required with respect to up to $1.0 billion of senior notes issued between September 8, 2014 and the next scheduled redetermination of the borrowing base.

 

A copy of the Thirteenth Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.  The description of the Thirteenth Amendment contained herein is qualified in entirety by the full text of such instruments.

Certain parties to the Thirteenth Amendment, or their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Banks”), perform and have performed commercial and investment banking and advisory services for the Company from time to time for which they receive and have received customary fees and expenses. In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, is the trustee for each outstanding series of the Company’s senior notes.  The Banks may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for the Company in the ordinary course of their business, for which they will receive fees and expenses.
