Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 16, 2011, Eureka Hunter Pipeline, LLC (Eureka), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (the Company), entered into (i) a First Lien Credit Agreement
(the First Lien Agreement) by and among Eureka, the lenders party thereto from time to time, and
SunTrust Bank, as Administrative Agent (the Administrative Agent), and (ii) a Second Lien Term
Loan Agreement (the Second Lien Agreement), by and among Eureka, PennantPark Investment
Corporation (PennantPark) and the other lenders party thereto from time to time, and U.S. Bank
National Association, as Collateral Agent (the First Lien Agreement and the Second Lien Agreement
being collectively referred to as the Credit Agreements).
The First Lien Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the Revolver) in an
aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million (with an initial committed amount of $25 million),
secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of Eureka. The Second Lien Agreement
provides for a $50 million term loan facility (the Term Loan), secured by a second lien on
substantially all of the assets of Eureka. The entire $50 million Term Loan must be drawn before
any portion of the Revolver is drawn. The Revolver has a maturity date of August 16, 2016, and the
Term Loan has a maturity date of August 16, 2018. On August 16, 2011, Eureka drew $31 million
under the Term Loan, $21 million of which was distributed to the Company to repay existing
corporate indebtedness. Both the Revolver and the Term Loan are non-recourse to the Company.
The terms of the First Lien Agreement provide that the Revolver may be used for (i) revolving
loans, (ii) swingline loans in an aggregate amount of up to $5 million at any one time outstanding,
or (iii) letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $5 million at any one time outstanding.
The Revolver provides for a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum based on the unused portion of the
commitment under the Revolver.
Borrowings under the Revolver will, at Eurekas election, bear interest at:
| a base rate equal to the highest of (A) the prime lending rate announced from time to time by the Administrative Agent, (B) the then-effective Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% per annum, or (C) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the First Lien Agreement) for a one-month interest period on such day plus 1.0% per annum, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 3.5%; or | ||
| the Adjusted LIBO Rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.5%. |
Borrowings under the Term Loan will bear interest at 12.5% per annum, 2.75% of which may be
paid, at the sole option of Eureka, in shares of restricted common stock, par value $0.01 per share
(MHR Common Stock), of the Company.
If an event of default occurs under either the Revolver or the Term Loan, the lenders may
increase the interest rate then in effect by an additional 2.0% per annum on both the Revolver and
the Term Loan.
The Credit Agreements contain negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the
ability of Eureka to, with certain exceptions: (1) incur indebtedness; (2) grant liens; (3)
dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or enter into mergers, consolidations, or similar
transactions; (4) change the nature of its business; (5) make investments, loans, or advances or
guarantee obligations; (6) pay cash

dividends or make certain other payments; (7) enter into transactions with affiliates; (8)
enter into sale and leaseback transactions; (9) enter into hedging transactions; (10) amend its
organizational documents or material agreements; or (11) make certain undisclosed capital
expenditures.
The Credit Agreements also require Eureka to satisfy certain financial covenants, including
maintaining:
| a consolidated total debt to capitalization ratio of not more than 60%; | ||
| a consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio ranging from (i) not less than 1.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2012, to (ii) (A) for the Term Loan, not less than 2.75 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2014, and (B) for the Revolver, not less than 3.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2014 (if any portion of the Revolver has been drawn); | ||
| a consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio ranging from (i) not greater than 7.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2012, to (ii) (A) for the Term Loan, not greater than 4.25 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2014, and (B) for the Revolver, not greater than 4.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014 (if any portion of the Revolver has been drawn); and | ||
| a ratio of consolidated debt under the Revolver to consolidated EBITDA of (i) for the Term Loan, not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, and (ii) for the Revolver, if any portion of the Revolver has been drawn, not greater than (A) 3.5 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, and (B) 3.25 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter thereafter. |
The obligations of Eureka under both the Revolver and the Term Loan may be accelerated upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in each of the Credit Agreements)
under either Credit Agreement. Events of Default include customary events for these types of
financings, including, among others, payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative
or negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, defaults under the Term
Loan (with respect to the Revolver) or the Revolver (with respect to the Term Loan), defaults
relating to judgments, material defaults under certain material contracts of Eureka, and defaults
by the Company which cause the acceleration of the Companys debt under its existing senior secured
revolving credit facility administered by the Bank of Montreal.
In connection with the Credit Agreements, (i) Eureka and its existing subsidiary, entered into
customary ancillary agreements and arrangements, which provide that the obligations of Eureka under
the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of Eureka and such subsidiary,
consisting primarily of pipelines, pipeline rights-of-way, and a gas processing plant, and (ii)
Triad Hunter, LLC, the sole parent of Eureka and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
(Triad), entered into customary ancillary agreements and arrangements, which granted the lenders
under the Credit Agreements a non-recourse security interest in Triads equity interest in Eureka.
The foregoing summary descriptions of the Credit Agreements do not purport to be complete and
are qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms of the First Lien Agreement and the
Second Lien Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangement of a Registrant.
The disclosure under Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The disclosure under Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
As disclosed in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K, the Term Loan will bear interest at a rate of
12.5% per annum, of which 2.75% (the Additional Interest) may be paid, at the sole option of
Eureka, in shares of MHR Common Stock. If Eureka chooses to pay the Additional Interest in shares
of MHR Common Stock, the number of shares of MHR Common Stock that will be required to be delivered
to the lenders on each interest payment date will be determined by dividing (i) the dollar amount
of the Additional Interest due and payable by (ii) the closing sale price of a share of MHR Common
Stock on the immediately preceding trading day.
In addition, Eureka will deliver to PennantPark 166,000 shares of MHR Common Stock as a
closing fee payment for the initial funding of the Term Loan.
The shares of MHR Common Stock to be paid as a closing fee and that may be paid as Additional
Interest will be issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933 under Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
