Borrowings under the New Revolving Financing are based on a borrowing base. The New Revolving Financing generally requires payment of interest and fees on a quarterly basis. All outstanding principal is due on the Maturity Date. The New Revolving Financing also requires mandatory prepayment of interest and principal upon certain events.
