Regulation in the Oil and Gas Industry. However, actions taken by private parties in anticipation of, or to facilitate, a transition to a lower-GHG economy will affect us as well. For example, our cost of capital may increase if lenders or other market participants decline to invest in fossil fuel-related companies for regulatory or reputational reasons. Similarly, increased demand for low-carbon or renewable energy sources from consumers could reduce the demand for, and the price of, the products we produce. Technological changes, such as developments in renewable energy and low-carbon transportation, could also adversely affect demand for our products.

The requirements, restrictions and covenants in our A&R Credit Agreement, including interest payable thereunder, may restrict our ability to operate our business and might lead to a default under such agreement.

Borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement may be alternate base rate (" ABR ") loans or SOFR loans, at the election of the Company. Interest is payable quarterly for ABR loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for SOFR loans. SOFR loans bear interest at the forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (" SOFR ") for a one, three or six-month interest period plus an applicable margin ranging from 300 to 400 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized, plus an additional 10 basis point credit spread adjustment (the " SOFR Rate "). ABR loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (i) the prime rate as publicly announced by Citibank; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; and (iii) the adjusted forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin ranging from 200 to 300 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized (the " ABR Rate "). The Company also pays a commitment fee on unused commitment amounts under its facility of 37.5 basis points or 50 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. The Company may repay any amounts borrowed under the A&R Credit Agreement prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty, and is required to repay certain portions of the amounts borrowed under the A&R Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of certain events.

The A&R Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants of the Company for a facility of that size and type, including prohibiting the Company from creating any indebtedness without the consent of the Lenders, subject to certain exceptions, and the maintenance of the following financial ratios: (i) a current ratio, which is the ratio of the Company’s consolidated current assets (including unused commitments under the A&R Credit Agreement and excluding non- cash derivative assets) to its consolidated current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term debt under the A&R Credit Agreement and non-cash derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 and (ii) a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of Total Net Debt to EBITDAX (each as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement) for the prior four fiscal quarters, of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0. The Company is required to hedge at least 75% of its projected proved developed producing reserves (PDP) oil and gas production at the time of entry into the A&R Credit Agreement, for the first 24 months of the agreement, and 50% of its projected PDP of oil and gas production for months 25-36. Afterward, within 60 days after each fiscal quarter, the Company must show it has hedged at least 50% of expected oil and gas production for the next 18 months. The Company may hedge crude oil, natural gas, or natural gas liquids (on a barrel of oil equivalent basis) to meet these requirements, but may not hedge more than 75% of anticipated production (on a barrel of oil equivalent basis) for any month.
