On July 31, 2014, RAAM Global Energy Company (the “Company”) entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with its senior secured lenders under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 29, 2011, by and among Century Exploration New Orleans, LLC (“Century New Orleans”) , Century Exploration Houston, LLC (“Century Houston”), Century Exploration Resources, LLC (“Century Resources” and together with Century New Orleans and Houston, the “Borrowers”), MUFG Union Bank, N.A. f/k/a Union Bank, N.A. (the “Agent”) and the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) party thereto (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), as a result of the Company not being in compliance with the interest coverage ratio covenant in the Credit Agreement, which specifies that the Company must maintain at least a 2.5 to 1.0 interest coverage ratio for the four immediately preceding consecutive fiscal quarters.

Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Agent and Lenders, as well as the counterparties to certain outstanding hedging agreements with Century New Orleans (“Hedging Lenders”), have agreed to forbear from exercising any rights or remedies that any of the Agent, the Lenders or the Hedging Lenders may have, or from initiating or instituting legal proceedings, against any of Century New Orleans, the Company or any of the other subsidiary guarantors under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Loan Parties”), or from realizing on their security granted in connection with the Credit Agreement, until the earlier of September 30, 2014 or the occurrence of an event of default within the meaning of the Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Period”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, among other provisions, (i) the borrowing base was permanently reduced to $0.00, thereby preventing additional borrowings under the credit facility, (ii) the Borrowers have agreed to maintain at least $4 million in cash collateral in one or more deposit accounts with the Agent and (iii) the Lenders have agreed to waive commitment fees owed to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement from and after April 24, 2014.

The description of the Forbearance Agreement contained in this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety to the full text of the Forbearance Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
