On May 15, 2013, Eureka Hunter Pipeline, LLC (“Eureka”), an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Consent to First Lien Credit Agreement (the “First Lien Consent”) by and among Eureka, SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto.  Pursuant to the First Lien Consent, the lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement, as amended (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), agreed that Eureka’s failure to deliver its first quarter 2013 financial statements when due under the First Lien Credit Agreement will not constitute a default or an event of default under the First Lien Credit Agreement, so long as Eureka delivers its first quarter 2013 financial statements to such lenders on or before the earlier of (i) the date that is 30 days after the date on which Eureka delivers its audited fiscal 2012 financial statements and (ii) July 12, 2013.

As previously disclosed, pursuant to the Consent to First Lien Credit Agreement, dated March 18, 2013, the lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement agreed to extend the deadline for Eureka’s delivery of its audited fiscal 2012 financial statements under the First Lien Credit Agreement to June 17, 2013.

On May 15, 2013, Eureka also entered into a Consent and Fourth Amendment to Second Lien Term Loan Agreement (the “Second Lien Consent and Fourth Amendment”) by and among Eureka, PennantPark Investment Corporation and the other lenders party thereto.  Pursuant to the Second Lien Consent and Fourth Amendment, the lenders under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, as amended (the “Second Lien Term Loan Agreement”), agreed that Eureka’s failure to deliver its first quarter 2013 financial statements when due under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement will not constitute a default or an event of default under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, so long as Eureka delivers its first quarter 2013 financial statements to such lenders on or before the earlier of (i) the date that is 30 days after the date on which Eureka delivers its audited fiscal 2012 financial statements and (ii) July 12, 2013.  In addition, under the Second Lien Consent and Fourth Amendment, the lenders under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement agreed that, in the event that the Company files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) no later than July 12, 2013, then such filing will be deemed timely under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement.  The Second Lien Consent and Fourth Amendment also amends certain provisions of the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement as set forth therein.

As previously disclosed, pursuant to the Consent to Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, dated March 18, 2013, the lenders under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement agreed (i) to extend the deadline for Eureka’s delivery of its audited fiscal 2012 financial statements under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement to June 17, 2013, and (ii) that, in the event that the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 with the SEC no later than June 17, 2013, then such filing will be deemed timely under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement.
