Item
2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under
an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On June
13, 2008, Clayton Williams Energy, Inc. (“the Company”) entered into a Fifth
Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “
Fifth
Amendment
”), which amends the
Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “
Senior Credit Facility
”) dated
May 21, 2004, among the Company, Southwest Royalties, Inc. (successor by merger
to CWEI-SWR, Inc.), Warrior Gas Co., CWEI Acquisitions, Inc., Romere Pass
Acquisition L.L.C., CWEI Romere Pass Acquisition Corp., Blue Heel Company,
Tex-Hal Partners, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (successor by merger to Bank
One, N.A. (Illinois)), as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders named
therein.
Pursuant
to the Fifth Amendment, the Senior Credit Facility was amended to, among other
things, extend the maturity of the Senior Credit Facility from May 21, 2007 to
May 21, 2012 and increase the permitted amount of “Other Investments” (as
defined in the Senior Credit Facility) from $1 million to
$5 million. The Fifth Amendment also modified covenants
restricting the Company’s ability to engage in hedging transactions, including
limits on hedging transactions for production months from the date of the Fifth
Amendment through December 31, 2008, and waived noncompliance by the
Company with prior limitations on hedging transactions.
In
connection with the Fifth Amendment, the Lenders reaffirmed the Company’s
borrowing base under the Senior Credit Facility of $250 million. The
Company’s borrowing base under the Senior Credit Facility is subject to
redetermination in accordance with the Senior Credit Facility.
The
foregoing description is only a summary of, and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to, the Fifth Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
