Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 12, 2013, Endeavour Energy UK Limited (“EEUK”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Endeavour International Corporation, entered into a Deed of Grant of Production Payment (the “Monetary Production Payment”) with Sand Waves S.A. (the “Investors”), an unaffiliated third party entity in which we have no interest or control, providing for a production payment over a portion of the sales proceeds from our production from the Rochelle field located in the UK sector of the North Sea. The Investors are required to look solely to the proceeds from the sale of production from the Rochelle field for satisfaction and discharge of all amounts due under the Monetary Production Payment.

The Monetary Production Payment provides for the sale by EEUK of a production payment for a purchase price of $25 million with an expected implied cost of 9.75%. Obligations under the Monetary Production Payment will cease upon the earlier of the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Monetary Production Payment or production from the Rochelle license permanently ceasing. The Monetary Production Payment is scheduled to be repaid over a two year period.

Our obligations under the Monetary Production Payment are secured by first priority liens over our interests in the license and related joint operating agreements and sales proceeds accounts. Our obligations are also secured by second priority liens over certain of our other licenses, joint operating agreements and assets. Such second priority liens are subordinated to the security granted to the holders of our revolving credit facility dated April 12, 2012 pursuant to an intercreditor agreement.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Endeavour”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean Endeavour International Corporation and our consolidated subsidiaries.
