The amendment, among other provisions, increased the borrowing base from $730 million to $900 million and increased the letters of credit commitment from $20 million to $30 million.   On May 1, 2013, our revolving credit facility borrowing base remained at $900 million as a result of our semi-annual borrowing base redetermination.      As of June 30, 2013, we had $480.0 million of borrowings outstanding and $23.5 million of letters of credit issued resulting in $396.5 million of borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement.    As of June 30, 2013, the Credit Agreement provided for a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility maturing on April 20, 2017, with a borrowing base of $900 million. The borrowing base is subject to redetermination on a semi-annual basis as of May 1 and November 1 of each year and is subject to a number of factors including quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves, the banks’ pricing assumptions, and other various factors unique to each member bank. The borrowing base may also be reduced by an amount equal to 0.25 multiplied by the stated principal amount of any issuances of senior notes. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by liens on at least 80% of our oil and natural gas properties and all of our equity interests in OLLC and any future guarantor subsidiaries. Borrowings bear interest at our option of either (i) the greater of the prime rate of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%, all of which would be subject to a margin that varies from 0.50% to 1.50% per annum according to the borrowing base usage (which is the ratio of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit to the borrowing base then in effect), or (ii) the applicable LIBOR plus a margin that varies from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum according to the borrowing base usage. The unused portion of the borrowing base is subject to a commitment fee that varies from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum. The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a ratio of total debt to EBITDAX (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 4.0 to 1.0 and a current ratio (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains various covenants and restrictive provisions which limit our ability to incur additional debt, guarantees or liens; consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; make certain investments, acquisitions or other restricted payments; modify certain material agreements; engage in certain types of transactions with affiliates; dispose of assets; prepay certain indebtedness; and also requires us to provide audited financial statements within 90 days of year end and quarterly unaudited financial statements within 45 days of quarter end. The Credit Agreement also prohibits us from entering into commodity derivative contracts covering, in any given year, in excess of the greater of (i) 90% of our forecasted production attributable to proved developed producing reserves and (ii) 85% of our forecasted production for the next two years from total proved reserves and 75% of our forecasted production from total proved reserves thereafter, in each case, based upon production estimates in the most recent reserve report. If we fail to perform our obligations under these and other covenants, the revolving credit commitments may be terminated and any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest, could be declared immediately due and payable. As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all of the Credit Agreement covenants.    9.25% Senior Notes   On July 30, 2012, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary QRE FC, completed a private placement offering to eligible purchasers of an aggregate principal amount of $300 million of 9.25% Senior Notes, due 2020 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were issued at 98.62% of par with interest payments to be made on February 1 and August 1 each year beginning in 2013.  In 2012, we filed and completed a registration statement with the SEC to allow the holders of the Senior Notes to exchange for registered Senior Notes that have substantially identical terms as the Senior Notes. We have the option to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after August 1, 2016, at the specified redemption prices together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, except as otherwise described below. Prior to August 1, 2016, we may redeem all or any part of the notes at the “make-whole” redemption price. In addition, prior to August 1, 2015, we may at our option, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at the redemption price with the net proceeds of a public or private equity offering. We may be required to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, in the event of a change of control as defined by the indenture. Our and QRE FC’s obligations under the Senior Notes are guaranteed by OLLC. In the future, the guarantees may be released or terminated under the following circumstances: (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties of the guarantor; (ii) in connection with any sale or other disposition of sufficient capital stock of the guarantor so that it no longer qualifies as our Restricted Subsidiary (as defined in the indenture); (iii) if designated to be an unrestricted subsidiary; (iv) upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture; (v) upon the liquidation of the guarantor provided no default or event of default has occurred or is occurring; (vi) at such time the guarantor does not have outstanding guarantees of our, or any other guarantor’s, other, debt; or (vii) upon merging into, or transferring all of its properties to us or another guarantor and ceasing to exist. Refer to Note 15 – Subsidiary Guarantors for further details of our guarantors.   The indenture governing the Senior Notes (the “Indenture”) restricts our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional debt or enter into sale-leaseback transactions; (ii) pay distributions on, or repurchase, equity interests; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) incur liens; (v) enter into transactions with affiliates; (vi) merge or consolidate with another company; and (vii) transfer and sell assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. If at any time when the Senior Notes are rated investment grade by each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will terminate and we and our subsidiaries will cease to be subject to such covenants.  The Indenture also includes customary events of default. As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants of the Senior Notes. </div> </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for long-term debt.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher SEC -Name Regulation S-X (SX) -Number 210 -Section 02 -Paragraph 22 -Article 5 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 210 -SubTopic 10 -Section S99 -Paragraph 1 -Subparagraph (SX 210.5-02.22) -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6877327&loc=d3e13212-122682 false0Long-Term DebtfalseLong-Term DebtUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruefalsefalseSheethttp://qrenergylp.com/role/DisclosureLongTermDebt12
