     On February 4, 2011, Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C. (“Goodrich Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (together with Goodrich Sub, the “Company”), entered into a Third Amendment (“the Third Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, if the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement mature on August 31, 2011, the latest expiration date for letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement will be extended from five days prior to maturity to December 31, 2011. If such extension is utilized, the Company will be required to cash collateralize 105% of any outstanding letters of credit.
