("Resaca"). The Resaca Term Loan earns cash interest of 9.5% (12% for paid-in-kind interest), is unsecured, and grants us warrants entitling us to purchase up to 2.42 million additional shares of Resaca common stock. Resaca used the proceeds from the Resaca Term Loan and a new revolving credit facility to repay its existing revolving credit facility and to provide capital for additional development of its properties.

In February 2011, we increased the commitment under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolver") with Alden Resources, LLC ("Alden") from $3.0 million to $8.0 million with initial availability of $6.9 million. The terms of the Revolver are unchanged. As consideration for increasing the Revolver commitment, we earned an incremental 1.0% royalty interest on all of Alden's revenue and a $250,000 amendment fee.
