Aggregate principal amount of outstanding senior notes   $ 900,000        
Line of credit facility description   Following the Amendment, if the Company issues additional unsecured indebtedness in excess of the $900.0 million in aggregate principal amount of existing senior notes or if the Company issues debt that is subordinated in security to the indebtedness secured under the Credit Agreement, the borrowing base then in effect will be reduced by $0.33 for each dollar of such excess until the borrowing base is redetermined. In addition, the borrowing base will be reduced to $550.0 million effective October 1, 2015 irrespective of whether any additional indebtedness is issued. The Amendment also restricts the ability of the Company to make distributions or repurchase the existing senior notes or other permitted indebtedness (i) until June 30, 2016, (ii) if an event of default is continuing or would result from such distribution or (iii) if a borrowing base deficiency is continuing or would result therefrom; provided that the restriction in clause (i) of this sentence does not apply to (A) scheduled payments of interest, principal or redemptions on the Company’s existing senior notes or other permitted additional debt and (B) the redemption or repurchase by the Company of its outstanding senior notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of any new issuance of senior unsecured notes, provided that any such new notes are not subject to covenants and events of default that are, taken as a whole, materially more restrictive on the Company than its outstanding senior notes and such new notes mature at least six months after the maturity date of the Credit Agreement.
