|
|
|
Shelf margin |
|
The path created by the change in direction of the shoreline in reaction to the filling of a sedimentary basin. |
|
|
|
Structural trap |
|
A structural trap is a topographic feature in the earths subsurface that forms a high point in the rock strata. This facilitates the accumulation of oil and gas in the strata. |
|
|
|
Structural-stratigraphic trap |
|
A structural-stratigraphic trap is a combination trap with structural and stratigraphic features. |
|
|
|
Stratigraphy |
|
The study of the composition, relative ages and distribution of layers of sedimentary rock. |
|
|
|
Stratigraphic trap |
|
A stratigraphic trap is formed from a change in the character of the rock rather than faulting or folding of the rock and oil is held in place by changes in the porosity and permeability of overlying rocks. |
Submarine fan |
|
A fan-shaped deposit of sediments occurring in a deep water setting where sediments have been transported via mass flow, gravity induced, processes from the shallow to deep water. These systems commonly develop at the bottom of sedimentary basins or at the end of large rivers. |
|
|
|
Three-way fault trap |
|
A structural trap where at least one of the components of closure is formed by offset of rock layers across a fault. |
|
|
|
Trap |
|
A configuration of rocks suitable for containing hydrocarbons and sealed by a relatively impermeable formation through which hydrocarbons will not migrate. |
|
|
|
Undeveloped acreage |
|
Lease acreage on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of natural gas and oil regardless of whether such acreage contains discovered resources. |

KOSMOS ENERGY LTD.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization
Kosmos Energy Ltd. was incorporated pursuant to the laws of Bermuda in January 2011 to become a holding company for Kosmos Energy Holdings. Kosmos Energy Holdings is a privately held Cayman Islands company that was formed in March 2004. As a holding company, Kosmos Energy Ltd.s management operations are conducted through a wholly owned subsidiary, Kosmos Energy, LLC. The terms Kosmos, the Company, we, us, our, ours, and similar terms refer to Kosmos Energy Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.
We are a leading independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused on frontier and emerging areas along the Atlantic Margin. Our asset portfolio includes existing production and other major project developments offshore Ghana, as well as exploration licenses with significant hydrocarbon potential offshore Ireland, Mauritania, Morocco and Suriname. Kosmos is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is traded under the ticker symbol KOS.
We have one reportable segment, which is the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. Substantially all of our long-lived assets and product sales are related to production located offshore Ghana.
2. Accounting Policies
General
The interim-period financial information presented in the consolidated financial statements included in this report is unaudited and, in the opinion of management, includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2013, the changes in the consolidated statements of shareholders equity for the six months ended June 30, 2013, the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The results of the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the final results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain notes or other financial information that are normally required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted from these interim consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in our annual report on Form 10-K.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on our reported net loss, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities or shareholders equity.
Restricted Cash
In accordance with our commercial debt facility, we are required to maintain a restricted cash balance that is sufficient to meet the payment of interest and fees for the next six-month period. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $19.4 million and $21.3 million, respectively, in current restricted cash to meet this requirement. In addition, in accordance with certain of our petroleum contracts, we have posted letters of credit related to performance guarantees for our minimum work obligations. These letters of credit are cash collateralized in accounts held by us and as such are classified as restricted cash. Upon completion of the minimum work obligations and/or entering into the next phase of the petroleum contract, the requirement to post letters of credit will be satisfied and the cash collateral will be released. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $29.9 million of long-term restricted cash used to cash collateralize performance guarantees related to our petroleum agreements.
Inventories
Inventories consisted of $32.4 million and $33.1 million of materials and supplies and $21.1 million and $0.2 million of hydrocarbons as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Companys materials and supplies inventory primarily consists of casing and wellheads and is stated at the lower of cost, using the weighted average cost method, or market.
Hydrocarbon inventory is carried at the lower of cost, using the weighted average cost method, or market. Hydrocarbon inventory costs include expenditures and other charges (including depletion) directly and indirectly incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition. Selling expenses and general and administrative expenses are reported as period costs and excluded from inventory costs.
Variable Interest Entity
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Kosmos Energy Finance International, is a variable interest entity (VIE). The Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE, which is consolidated in these financial statements.
Kosmos Energy Finance Internationals following assets and liabilities are shown separately on the face of the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012: current restricted cash; long-term derivatives assets; long-term debt; and current and long-term derivatives liabilities. At June 30, 2013, Kosmos Energy Finance International had $37.5 million in cash and cash equivalents; $0.5 million in prepaid expenses and other; $1.3 million current derivative assets; $38.2 million deferred financing costs, net; $0.3 million in accounts payable; $0.2 million in accrued liabilities and $7.6 million in other long-term liabilities, which are included in the amounts shown on the face of the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2012, Kosmos Energy Finance International had $118.8 million in cash and cash equivalents; $0.2 million in prepaid expenses and other; $42.2 million deferred financing costs, net; $0.5 million in accrued liabilities and $6.6 million in other long-term liabilities, which are included in the amounts shown on the face of the consolidated balance sheet.

As of June 30, 2013, the projects with exploratory well costs capitalized for more than one year since the completion of drilling are related to Mahogany, Teak-1, Teak-2 and Akasa discoveries in the West Cape Three Points (WCTP) Block and the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme discoveries in the Deepwater Tano (DT) Block, which are all in Ghana.
MahoganyMahogany, a combined area covering parts of the Mahogany East discovery and the Mahogany Deep discovery, was declared commercial in September 2010, and a PoD was submitted to Ghanas Ministry of Energy as of May 2, 2011. In a letter dated May 16, 2011, the Ministry of Energy did not approve the PoD and requested that the WCTP Block partners take certain steps regarding notifications of discovery and commerciality; and requested other information. The WCTP Block partners believe the combined submission was proper and have held meetings with Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) which resolved issues relating to the PoD work program. From May 2011, the Ministry of Energy, GNPC and the WCTP Block partners continued working to resolve other differences; however, the WCTP Petroleum Agreement (PA) contains specific timelines for PoD approval and discussions, which expired at the end of June 2011. On June 30, 2011, we, as Operator of the WCTP Block and on behalf of the WCTP Block partners, delivered a Notice of Dispute to the Ministry of Energy and GNPC as provided under the WCTP PA, which is the initial step in triggering the formal dispute resolution process under the WCTP PA with the government of Ghana regarding approval of the Mahogany PoD. This Notice of Dispute establishes a process for negotiation and consultation for a period of 30 days (or longer if mutually agreed) among senior representatives from the Ministry of Energy, GNPC and the WCTP Block partners to resolve the matter. We and the WCTP Block partners are in discussions with the Ministry of Energy and GNPC to resolve differences on the PoD.
Teak-1 DiscoveryTwo appraisal wells have been drilled. Following additional appraisal and evaluation, a decision regarding commerciality of the Teak-1 discovery is expected to be made by the WCTP Block partners in 2014. Within six months of such a declaration, a PoD would be prepared and submitted to Ghanas Ministry of Energy, as required under the WCTP PA.
Teak-2 DiscoveryWe have performed a gauge installation on the well and are reprocessing seismic data. Following additional appraisal and evaluation, a decision regarding commerciality of the Teak-2 discovery is expected to be made by the WCTP Block partners in 2014. Within six months of such a declaration, a PoD would be prepared and submitted to Ghanas Ministry of Energy, as required under the WCTP PA.
Akasa DiscoveryWe have performed a drill stem test and gauge installation on the well and are analyzing the data. Following additional appraisal and evaluation, a decision regarding commerciality of the Akasa discovery is expected to be made by the WCTP Block partners in 2013. Within six months of such a declaration, a PoD would be prepared and submitted to Ghanas Ministry of Energy, as required under the WCTP PA.
Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme (TEN) DiscoveriesIn May 2013, the government of Ghana approved the PoD over the TEN discoveries. Development of TEN will include the drilling and completion of up to 24 development wells, half of the wells designed as producers and the remainder for water and gas injection to support ultimate field recoveries. The TEN project is expected to deliver first oil in 2016. The costs associated with the TEN development will remain as unproved property pending the determination of whether the discoveries are associated with proved reserves.
5. Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, accounts payable of $64.0 million and $128.9 million, respectively, were recorded for invoices received but not paid. Accrued liabilities consisted of the following:

6. Debt
Facility
In March 2011, the Company secured a $2.0 billion commercial debt facility (the Facility) from a number of financial institutions and extinguished the then existing commercial debt facilities. The Facility was syndicated to certain participants of the existing facilities, as well as new participants. The Facility supports our oil and gas exploration, appraisal and development programs and corporate activities. As part of the November 2012 amendment, the total commitments for the Facility were reduced to $1.5 billion.
The Facility provides a revolving-credit and letter of credit facility. The availability period for the revolving-credit facility, as amended in April 2013, expires on December 15, 2014 and the letter of credit sublimit expires on the final maturity date. The available facility amount is subject to borrowing base constraints and, beginning on December 15, 2014, outstanding borrowings will also be constrained by an amortization schedule. The final maturity date is March 29, 2018. As of June 30, 2013, borrowings under the Facility totaled $900.0 million and the undrawn availability under the Facility was $399.1 million.
Corporate Revolver
In November 2012, we secured a revolving credit facility (the Corporate Revolver). In April 2013, the availability under the Corporate Revolver was increased from $260.0 million to $300.0 million due to additional commitments received from existing and new financial institutions. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Corporate Revolver and the undrawn availability under the Corporate Revolver was $300.0 million and $260.0 million, respectively.
Revolving Letter of Credit Facility
In July 2013, we entered into a revolving letter of credit facility agreement (LC Facility). The size of the LC Facility is $100.0 million, with additional commitments up to $50.0 million being available if existing lenders increase their commitments or if commitments from new financial institutions are added. The LC Facility provides that we maintain cash collateral in an amount equal to at least 75% of all outstanding letters of credit under the LC Facility, provided that during the period of any breach of certain financial covenants, the required cash collateral amount shall increase to 100%. The fees associated with outstanding letters of credit issued will be 0.5% per annum. The LC Facility has an availability period which expires on June 1, 2016. We may voluntarily cancel any commitments available under the LC Facility at any time. As of July 29, 2013, there were three outstanding letters of credit totaling $27.0 million under the LC Facility.
At June 30, 2013, the estimated repayments of debt during the five year period and thereafter are as follows:

(1) Amounts were reclassified from AOCI into earnings upon settlement.
(2) Amounts represent the mark-to-market portion of our provisional oil sales contracts.
In accordance with the mark-to-market method of accounting, the Company recognizes changes in fair values of its derivative contracts as gains or losses in earnings during the period in which they occur. The fair value of the effective portion of the interest rate derivative contracts on May 31, 2010, is reflected in AOCI and is being transferred to interest expense over the remaining term of the contracts. The Company expects to reclassify $1.6 million of gains from AOCI to interest expense within the next 12 months. See Note 8Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding the Companys derivative instruments.
Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities
Our derivative instruments subject to master netting arrangements with our counterparties only have the right of offset when there is an event of default. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was not an event of default and, therefore, the associated gross asset or gross liability amounts related to these arrangements are presented on the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, there were no material rights of offset available, if an event of default occurred, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
8. Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with ASC 820Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value measurements are based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, which are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources, whereas unobservable inputs reflect a companys own market assumptions, which are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. We prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following fair value hierarchy:
· Level 1quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
· Level 2quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
· Level 3unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value input hierarchy level to which an asset or liability measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety.
The following tables present the Companys assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, for each fair value hierarchy level:
The book values of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate fair value based on Level 1 inputs. Joint interest billings, oil sales and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying values of our debt approximates fair value since they are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate the rates available to us for those periods. Our long-term receivables, if any, after any allowances for doubtful accounts approximate fair value. The estimates of fair value of these items are based on Level 2 inputs.
Commodity Derivatives
Our commodity derivatives represent crude oil three-way collars for notional barrels of oil at fixed Dated Brent oil prices. The values attributable to the our oil derivatives are based on (i) the contracted notional volumes, (ii) independent active futures price quotes for Dated Brent, (iii) a credit-adjusted yield curve applicable to each counterparty by reference to the CDS market and (iv) an independently sourced estimate of volatility for Dated Brent. The volatility estimate was provided by certain independent brokers who are active in buying and selling oil options and was corroborated by market-quoted volatility factors. The deferred premium is included in the fair market value of the puts and compound options. See Note 7Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information regarding the Companys derivative instruments.
Provisional Oil Sales
The value attributable to the provisional oil sales derivative is based on (i) the sales volumes subject to provisional pricing and (ii) an independently sourced forward curve over the term of the provisional pricing period.
Interest Rate Derivatives
We have interest rate swaps, whereby the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and the counterparty pays a variable LIBOR-based rate. The values attributable to the Companys interest rate derivative contracts are based on (i) the contracted notional amounts, (ii) LIBOR yield curves provided by independent third parties and corroborated with forward active market-quoted LIBOR yield curves and (iii) a credit-adjusted yield curve as applicable to each counterparty by reference to the CDS market.
9. Equity-based Compensation
Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units
We record compensation expense equal to the fair value of share-based payments over the vesting periods of the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) awards. We recorded compensation expense from awards granted under our LTIP of $18.1 million and $17.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $37.0 million and $38.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The tax benefit resulting from equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $6.3 million and $6.1 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $12.7 million and $13.5 million, respectively. Additionally, we expensed a tax shortfall (the difference between the estimated tax deduction on the grant date and the actual tax deduction on the vest date) of $6.9 million and $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $6.9 million and $7.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively

As of June 30, 2013, total equity-based compensation to be recognized on unvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units is $164.9 million over a weighted average period of 2.42 years. At June 30, 2013, the Company had approximately 5.4 million shares that remain available for issuance under the LTIP.
For restricted stock awards with a combination of market and service vesting criteria, the number of common shares to be issued is determined by comparing the Companys total shareholder return with the total shareholder return of a predetermined group of peer companies over the performance period and can vest in up to 100% of the awards granted. The grant date fair value of these awards ranged from $6.70 to $13.57 per award. The Monte Carlo simulation model used to estimate the grant-date fair value utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award grant and calculates the fair value of the award. The expected volatility utilized in the model was estimated using our historical volatility and the historical volatilities of our peer companies and ranged from 41.3% to 56.7%. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. treasury rate for a term commensurate with the expected life of the grant and ranged from 0.5% to 1.1%.
For restricted stock units with a combination of market and service vesting criteria, the number of common shares to be issued is determined by comparing the Companys total shareholder return with the total shareholder return of a predetermined group of peer companies over the performance period and can vest in up to 200% of the awards granted. The grant date fair value of these awards ranged from $15.44 to $15.81 per award. The Monte Carlo simulation model used to estimate the grant-date fair value utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award grant and calculates the fair value of the award. The expected volatility utilized in the model was estimated using our historical volatility and the historical volatilities of our peer companies and ranged from 53.0% to 54.0%. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. treasury rate for a term commensurate with the expected life of the grant and ranged from 0.5% to 0.7%.
10. Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $46.3 million and $22.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was $90.3 million and $38.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The income tax provision consists of U.S. and Ghanaian income and Texas margin taxes.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is (188)% and (970)%, respectively. For the six months ended, June 30, 2013 and 2012, our effective tax rate is 228% and (165)%. The effective tax rate for the United States is approximately 274% and 277% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 167% and 152% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The high effective tax rates in the United States are due to the deferred tax impact related to equity-based compensation. The effective tax rate for Ghana is approximately 34% and 38% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 36% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Our other foreign jurisdictions have a 0% effective tax rate because they reside in countries with a 0% statutory rate, or we have experienced losses in those countries and have a full valuation allowance reserved against the corresponding net deferred tax assets.
The Company has no material unrecognized income tax benefits.
A subsidiary of the Company files a U.S. federal income tax return and a Texas margin tax return. In addition to the United States, the Company files income tax returns in the countries in which the Company operates. The Company is open to U.S. federal income tax examinations for tax years 2009 through 2012 and to Texas margin tax examinations for the tax years 2008 through 2012. In addition, the Company is open to income tax examinations for years 2004 through 2012 in Ghana.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had no material uncertain tax positions. The Companys policy is to recognize potential interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense, but has not accrued any material amounts to date.

(1) Our service vesting restricted stock awards represent participating securities because they participate in nonforfeitable dividends with common equity owners. Income allocable to participating securities represents the distributed and undistributed earnings attributable to the participating securities. Our restricted stock awards with market and service vesting criteria and all restricted stock units are not considered to be participating securities and, therefore, are excluded from the basic net income (loss) per common share calculation. Our service vesting restricted stock awards do not participate in undistributed net losses and, therefore, are excluded from the basic net income (loss) per common share calculation in periods we are in a net loss position.
(2) We excluded outstanding restricted stock awards and units of 14.2 million and 16.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 14.2 million and 16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, from the computations of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in litigation, regulatory examinations and administrative proceedings primarily arising in the ordinary course of our business in jurisdictions in which we do business. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes none of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material effect upon the Companys consolidated financial statements; however, an unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on our results from operations for a specific interim period or year.
In June 2013, we signed a long-term rig agreement with a subsidiary of Atwood Oceanics, Inc. for the new build drillship Atwood Achiever. Currently under construction, the rig is scheduled for completion in June 2014 and expected to commence drilling operations in the second half of 2014. The rig agreement covers an initial period of three years at a day rate of approximately $0.6 million, with an option to extend the agreement for an additional three-year term.
The estimated future minimum commitments under this contract as of June 30, 2013, are:

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained herein and our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in our annual report on Form 10-K along with the section Managements Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and Results of Operations contained in such annual report. Any terms used but not defined in the following discussion have the same meaning given to them in the annual report. Our discussion and analysis includes forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties and should be read in conjunction with Risk Factors under Item 1A of this report and in the annual report, along with Forward-Looking Information at the end of this section for information about the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than our forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are a leading independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused on frontier and emerging areas along the Atlantic Margin. Our asset portfolio includes existing production and other major project developments offshore Ghana, as well as exploration licenses with significant hydrocarbon potential offshore Ireland, Mauritania, Morocco and Suriname.
We were incorporated pursuant to the laws of Bermuda as Kosmos Energy Ltd. in January 2011 to become a holding company for Kosmos Energy Holdings. Pursuant to the terms of a corporate reorganization that was completed immediately prior to the closing of Kosmos Energy Ltd.s IPO on May 16, 2011, all of the interests in Kosmos Energy Holdings were exchanged for newly issued common shares of Kosmos Energy Ltd. As a result, Kosmos Energy Holdings became wholly owned by Kosmos Energy Ltd.
Recent Developments
Debt
Our $2.0 billion commercial debt facility (Facility) provides a revolving-credit and letter of credit facility. The availability period for the revolving-credit facility, as amended in April 2013, expires on December 15, 2014 and the letter of credit sublimit expires on the final maturity date. The available facility amount is subject to borrowing base constraints and, beginning on December 15, 2014, outstanding borrowings will also be constrained by an amortization schedule. The final maturity date is March 29, 2018.
In April 2013, the availability under our revolving credit facility (Corporate Revolver) was increased from $260.0 million to $300.0 million by additional commitments from existing and new financial institutions.
In July 2013, we entered into a revolving letter of credit facility agreement (LC Facility). The size of the LC Facility is $100.0 million, with additional commitments up to $50.0 million being available if existing lenders increase their commitments or if commitments from new financial institutions are added. The LC Facility provides that we shall maintain cash collateral in an amount equal to at least 75% of all outstanding letters of credit under the LC Facility, provided that during the period of any breach of certain financial covenants, the required cash collateral amount shall increase to 100%. The fees associated with outstanding letters of credit issued will be 0.5% per annum. The LC Facility has an availability period which expires on June 1, 2016. We may voluntarily cancel any commitments available under the LC Facility at any time. As of July 29, 2013, there were three outstanding letters of credit totaling $27.0 million under the LC Facility.
Rig Agreement
In June 2013, we signed a long-term rig agreement with a subsidiary of Atwood Oceanics, Inc. for the new build drillship Atwood Achiever. Currently under construction, the rig is scheduled for completion in June 2014 and expected to commence drilling operations in the second half of 2014. The rigs capabilities include drilling to total depths of up to 40,000 feet, and in water depths of up to 12,000 feet. The rig agreement covers an initial period of three years at a day rate of approximately $0.6 million, with an option to extend the agreement for an additional three-year term.
Ghana
During the second quarter of 2013, we had two liftings of oil totaling 1,944 MBbl from the Jubilee Field production resulting in revenues of $193.4 million. Our average realized price was $99.51 per barrel.
We previously received an approval for the Phase 1A PoD of the Jubilee Field, and production from Phase 1A commenced in late 2012. The Phase 1A program includes the drilling of up to eight additional wells consisting of up to five production wells and three water injection wells. Three wells, two producers and one injector, are online. Program execution is expected to continue into the first half of 2014.
In May 2013, the government of Ghana approved the PoD over the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme (TEN) discoveries. Development of TEN will include the drilling and completion of up to 24 development wells, half of the wells designed as producers and the remainder for water and gas injection to support ultimate field recoveries. The TEN development is expected to deliver first oil in 2016. Future development of gas resources at TEN is anticipated following the commencement of oil startup. Our net portion of the estimated cost for the TEN development is approximately $931.0 million.
Cameroon
Drilling of the Sipo-1 exploration well on the Ndian River Block was completed in May 2013. Oil and gas shows evidenced during drilling indicated a working petroleum system; however, the well failed to encounter commercial reservoirs and accordingly was plugged and abandoned. Total well and other related costs of $75.6 million are included in exploration expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
In July 2013, we informed the government of Cameroon that we do not intend to enter into the next phase of our petroleum contracts in Cameroon.
Ireland
In April 2013, the Company entered into a farm-in agreement with Antrim Energy Inc., whereby Kosmos acquired a 75% participating interest and operatorship, covering Licensing Option 11/5 offshore the west coast of Ireland. As part of the agreement, Kosmos will reimburse a portion of previously-incurred exploration costs, as well as carry the partner on future 3D seismic costs. In July 2013, Ireland granted a Frontier Exploration License 1-13, pursuant to Licensing Option 11/5.
In April 2013, the Company entered into a farm-in agreement with Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, whereby Kosmos acquired an 85% participating interest and operatorship, covering Licensing Option 11/7 and 11/8 offshore the west coast of Ireland. As part of the agreement, Kosmos will reimburse a portion of previously-incurred exploration costs, as well as carry the partner on future 3D seismic costs. Contingent upon an election by Kosmos and our partner to enter into a subsequent exploration drilling phase on one or both of the blocks, Kosmos will also fund 100% of the costs of the first exploration well on each block, subject to an investment cap of $90.0 million and $110.0 million, respectively, on each block. In July 2013, Ireland granted Frontier Exploration Licenses 2-13 and 3-13, pursuant to Licensing Options 11/7 and 11/8. In July 2013, we commenced a 3D seismic program over these blocks which is expected to be completed during 2013.
Mauritania
In May 2013, we completed a 2D seismic data acquisition program on approximately 6,000 line-kilometers, covering Blocks C8, C12 and C13 offshore Mauritania. In June 2013, we commenced a 3D seismic program over portions of Blocks C8 and C12 which is expected to be completed during 2013.
Morocco
In January 2013, Kosmos closed an agreement to acquire an additional 37.5% participating interest in the Essaouira Offshore Block from Canamens Energy Morocco SARL, one of our block partners. Certain governmental approvals and processes are still required to be completed before this acquisition is effective. After completing the acquisition, our participating interest in the Essaouira Offshore Block will be 75%.

Oil and gas revenue. Oil and gas revenue increased by $81.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to having two liftings of oil during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to having one lifting of oil during the three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is partially offset by a lower realized price per barrel during the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Oil and gas production. Oil and gas production costs increased by $3.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to two liftings in the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to one lifting in the three months ended June 30, 2012 offset by a reduction in well workover costs on a per barrel basis.
Exploration expenses. Exploration expenses increased by $76.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we incurred $75.6 million for unsuccessful well and other related costs for the Cameroon Sipo-1 exploration well and $17.1 million for seismic costs for Morocco, Mauritania and new ventures. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred $10.1 million of unsuccessful well costs related to the Ghana Teak-4A appraisal well.
General and administrative. General and administrative costs increased by $8.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to an increase in headcount. Total non-cash general and administrative costs were $18.1 million and $17.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which was primarily related to equity-based compensation.
Depletion and depreciation. Depletion and depreciation increased $25.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to the sale of two liftings of oil during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to one lifting of oil during the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Derivatives, net. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded gains of $12.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively, on our outstanding hedge positions. The gains recorded were a result of $11.3 million of unrealized gains on the change in fair value of our outstanding contracts and $1.4 million of realized gains on contracts that settled during the quarter.
Income tax expense. The Companys effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were (188)% and (970%), respectively. The large effective tax rates for the periods presented are due to losses incurred in jurisdictions in which we are not subject to taxes and, therefore, do not generate any income tax benefits and losses incurred in jurisdictions in which we have valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets and therefore we do not realize any tax benefit on such losses. Income tax expense increased $23.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared with June 30, 2012, primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income from our Ghanaian subsidiary.

Oil and gas revenue.
Oil and gas revenue increased $193.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to having four liftings of oil during the six months ended
June 30, 2013 as compared to having two liftings of oil during the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is partially offset by a lower realized price per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Oil and gas production. Oil and gas production costs increased $20.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to an increase in routine operating expenses related to the increase in production volumes and liftings during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. In addition, higher workover and rig equipment costs were incurred during2013 ascompared to 2012.
Exploration expenses. Exploration expenses increased $59.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company incurred $83.9 million of unsuccessful well and other related costs primarily related to the Cameroon Sipo-1 exploration well and the Ghana Sapele-1 exploration well and $32.4 million for seismic costs primarily for Mauritania, Morocco and new ventures. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred $33.4 million for seismic costs for Morocco, Ghana and Cameroon and $19.2 million of unsuccessful well costs, primarily related to the Ghana Teak-4A appraisal well.
General and administrative. General and administrative costs increased $9.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2012, due to increase an increase in headcount. Total non-cash general and administrative costs were $37.0 million and $38.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which was primarily related to equity-based compensation.
Depletion and depreciation. Depletion and depreciation increased $52.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to depletion recognized related to the sale of four liftings of oil during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to two liftings of oil during the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $4.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to a decrease in the outstanding debt balance and a decrease in the mark to market loss on our interest rate swaps .
Derivatives, net. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded a gain of $7.2 million and a loss of $1.9 million, respectively, on our outstanding hedge positions. The gains recorded were a result of $5.2 million of unrealized gains on the change in fair value of our outstanding contracts and $2.0 million of realized gains on contracts that settled during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Income tax expense. The Companys effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were 228% and (165%), respectively. The large effective tax rates for the periods presented are due to losses incurred in jurisdictions in which we are not subject to taxes and, therefore, do not generate any income tax benefits as well as losses incurred in jurisdictions in which we have valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets and therefore we do not realize any tax benefit on such losses. Income tax expense increased $51.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared with June 30, 2012, primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income from our Ghanaian subsidiary.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are actively engaged in an ongoing process of anticipating and meeting our funding requirements related to exploring for and developing oil and natural gas resources along the Atlantic Margin. We have historically secured funding from issuances of equity and commercial debt facilities to meet our ongoing liquidity requirements. We received our first oil sales in January 2011 from Jubilee Field production, which generated cash flows from operations from 2011 to present. Accordingly, the cash flows generated from our operating activities may also provide an additional source of funding.
Significant Sources of Capital
Facility
In March 2011, the Company secured a $2.0 billion commercial debt facility (the Facility) from a number of financial institutions and extinguished the then existing commercial debt facilities. The Facility was syndicated to certain participants of the existing facilities, as well as new participants. The Facility supports our oil and gas exploration, appraisal and development programs and corporate activities. As part of the November 2012 amendment, the total commitments for the Facility were reduced to $1.5 billion.
The Facility provides a revolving-credit and letter of credit facility. The availability period for the revolving-credit facility, as amended in April 2013, expires on December 15, 2014 and the letter of credit sublimit expires on the final maturity date. The available facility amount is subject to borrowing base constraints and, beginning on December 15, 2014, outstanding borrowings will also be constrained by an amortization schedule. The final maturity date is March 29, 2018. As of June 30, 2013, borrowings under the Facility totaled $900.0 million and the undrawn availability under the Facility was $399.1 million.
Corporate Revolver
In November 2012, we secured the Corporate Revolver from a number of financial institutions. In April 2013, the availability under the Corporate Revolver was increased from $260.0 million to $300.0 million by additional commitments from existing and new financial institutions. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Corporate Revolver and the undrawn availability under the Corporate Revolver was $300.0 million and $260.0 million, respectively.
Revolving Letter of Credit Facility
In July 2013, we entered into a revolving letter of credit facility agreement (LC Facility). The size of the LC Facility is $100.0 million, with additional commitments up to $50.0 million being available if existing lenders increase their commitments or if commitments from new financial institutions are added. The LC Facility provides that we shall maintain cash collateral in an amount equal to at least 75% of all outstanding letters of credit under the LC Facility, provided that during the period of any breach of certain financial covenants, the required cash collateral amount shall increase to 100%. The fees associated with outstanding letters of credit issued will be 0.5% per annum. The LC Facility has an availability period which expires on June 1, 2016. We may voluntarily cancel any commitments available under the LC Facility at any time. As of July 29, 2013, there were three outstanding letters of credit totaling $27.0 million under the LC Facility.
Capital Expenditures and Investments
We expect to incur substantial costs as we continue to develop our oil and natural gas prospects and as we:
· complete our 2013 exploration and appraisal drilling program in our license areas;
· develop our discoveries that we determine to be commercially viable;
· purchase and analyze seismic and other geological and geophysical data to identify future prospects; and
· invest in additional oil and natural gas leases and licenses.
We have relied on a number of assumptions in budgeting for our future activities. These include the number of wells we plan to drill, our participating interests in our prospects, the costs involved in developing or participating in the development of a prospect, the timing of third-party projects, and the availability of suitable equipment and qualified personnel. These assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, political, economic, regulatory, environmental and competitive uncertainties, contingencies and risks, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. We may need to raise additional funds more quickly if one or more of our assumptions proves to be incorrect or if we choose to expand our hydrocarbon asset acquisition, exploration, appraisal, development efforts or any other activity more rapidly than we presently anticipate. We may decide to raise additional funds before we need them if the conditions for raising capital are favorable. We may seek to sell equity or debt securities or obtain additional bank credit facilities. The sale of equity securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of additional indebtedness could result in increased fixed obligations and additional covenants that could restrict our operations.
2013 Capital Program
Our estimate for the 2013 capital program increased from $525.0 million to $560.0 million. The 2013 capital expenditure budget consists of:
· approximately 50% for developmental related expenditures offshore Ghana; and
· approximately 50% for exploration and appraisal related expenditures, including new venture opportunities.
The ultimate amount of capital we will spend may fluctuate materially based on market conditions and the success of our drilling results. Our future financial condition and liquidity will be impacted by, among other factors, our level of production of oil and the prices we receive from the sale of these commodities, the success of our exploration and appraisal drilling program, the number of commercially viable oil and natural gas discoveries made and the quantities of oil and natural gas discovered, the speed with which we can bring such discoveries to production, and the actual cost of exploration, appraisal and development of our oil and natural gas assets.

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $276.9 million compared with net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $160.7 million. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to an increase in oil and gas revenues offset by a negative change in working capital items.
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $167.9 million compared with net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $194.2 million. The decrease in cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily attributable to a decrease in expenditures for oil and gas assets in Ghana, offset by an increase in expenditures for oil and gas activities in Cameroon.
Financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $115.3 million compared with net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $9.6 million. The increase in cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to the payment on our long-term debt.

(1) The estimated repayments of debt are based on the level of borrowings and the available borrowing base as of June 30, 2013. Any increases or decreases in the level of borrowings or increases or decreases in the available borrowing base would impact the scheduled maturities of debt during the next five years and thereafter. As of June 30, 2013, there were no borrowings under the Corporate Revolver.
(2) Based on outstanding borrowings as noted in (1) above and the LIBOR yield curves at the reporting date and commitment fees related to the Facility and Corporate Revolver.
(3) Does not include purchase commitments for jointly owned fields and facilities where we are not the operator and excludes commitments for exploration activities, including well commitments, in our petroleum contracts and farm-in agreements.
(4) Represents payments for the period from July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.
(5) Commitments calculated using a day rate of $595,000 and an estimated rig delivery date of August 1, 2014.
The following table presents maturities by expected maturity dates under the Facility, the weighted average interest rates expected to be paid on the Facility given current contractual terms and market conditions, and the debts estimated fair value. Weighted-average interest rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the reporting date. This table does not take into account amortization of deferred financing costs.

(1) The interest rate swaps variable rate receivable for the period July 1 through December 31, 2013 locked on June 26, 2013, therefore the notional amounts are not subject to changes in interest rates.
(2) The amounts included in the table represent principal maturities only. The scheduled maturities of debt are based on the level of borrowings and the available borrowing base as of June 30, 2013. Any increases or decreases in the level of borrowings or increases or decreases in the available borrowing base would impact the scheduled maturities of debt during the next five years and thereafter. As of June 30, 2013, there were no borrowings under the Corporate Revolver.
(3) Based on outstanding borrowings as noted in (1) above and the LIBOR yield curves plus applicable margin at the reporting date. Excludes commitment fees related to the Facility and Corporate Revolver.
(4) Represents weighted average notional contract amounts of interest rate derivatives. In the final year of maturity, represents notional amount from January June.
(5) Based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the reporting date.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We may enter into off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that can give rise to material off-balance sheet obligations. As of June 30, 2013, our material off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions include operating leases and undrawn letters of credit. There are no other transactions, arrangements, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are reasonably likely to materially affect Kosmos liquidity or availability of or requirements for capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
We consider accounting policies related to our revenue recognition, exploration and development costs, receivables, income taxes, derivatives and hedging activities, estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves, asset retirement obligations and impairment of long-lived assets as critical accounting policies. The policies include significant estimates made by management using information available at the time the estimates are made. However, these estimates could change materially if different information or assumptions were used. These policies are summarized in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains estimates and forward-looking statements, principally in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Our estimates and forward-looking statements are mainly based on our current expectations and estimates of future events and trends, which affect or may affect our businesses and operations. Although we believe that these estimates and forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to several risks and uncertainties and are made in light of information currently available to us. Many important factors, in addition to the factors described in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K, may adversely affect our results as indicated in forward-looking statements. You should read this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the annual report on Form 10-K and the documents that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Our estimates and forward-looking statements may be influenced by the following factors, among others:
· our ability to find, acquire or gain access to other discoveries and prospects and to successfully develop our current discoveries and prospects;
· uncertainties inherent in making estimates of our oil and natural gas data;
· the successful implementation of our and our block partners prospect discovery and development and drilling plans;
· projected and targeted capital expenditures and other costs, commitments and revenues;
· termination of or intervention in concessions, rights or authorizations granted by the governments of Ghana, Cameroon, Ireland, Mauritania, Morocco or Suriname (or their respective national oil companies) or any other federal, state or local governments or authorities, to us;
· our dependence on our key management personnel and our ability to attract and retain qualified technical personnel;
· the ability to obtain financing and to comply with the terms under which such financing may be available;
· the volatility of oil and natural gas prices;
· the availability, cost, function and reliability of developing appropriate infrastructure around and transportation to our discoveries and prospects;
· the availability and cost of drilling rigs, production equipment, supplies, personnel and oilfield services;
· other competitive pressures;
· potential liabilities inherent in oil and natural gas operations, including drilling risks and other operational and environmental hazards;
· current and future government regulation of the oil and gas industry;
· cost of compliance with laws and regulations;
· changes in environmental, health and safety or climate change laws, greenhouse gas regulation or the implementation, or interpretation, of those laws and regulations;
· environmental liabilities;
· geological, technical, drilling, production and processing problems;
· military operations, civil unrest, terrorist acts, wars or embargoes;
· the cost and availability of adequate insurance coverage;
· our vulnerability to severe weather events;
· our ability to meet our obligations under the agreements governing our indebtedness;
· the availability and cost of financing and refinancing our indebtedness;
· the amount of collateral, if any, required to be posted from time to time in our hedging transactions;
· our success in risk management activities, including the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge commodity and interest rate risks; and
· other risk factors discussed in the Item 1A. Risk Factors section of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K.
The words believe, may, will, aim, estimate, continue, anticipate, intend, expect, plan and similar words are intended to identify estimates and forward-looking statements. Estimates and forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and, except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or to review any estimate and/or forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or other factors. Estimates and forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. As a result of the risks and uncertainties described above, the estimates and forward-looking statements discussed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q might not occur, and our future results and our performance may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements due to, including, but not limited to, the factors mentioned above. Because of these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term market risks as it relates to our currently anticipated transactions refers to the risk of loss arising from changes in commodity prices and interest rates. These disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage ongoing market risk exposures. We enter into market-risk sensitive instruments for purposes other than to speculate.
We manage market and counterparty credit risk in accordance with policies and guidelines. In accordance with these policies and guidelines, our management determines the appropriate timing and extent of derivative transactions. See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary DataNote 2Accounting Policies, Note 10Derivative Financial Information and Note 11Fair Value Measurements section of our annual report on Form 10-K for a description of the accounting procedures we follow relative to our derivative financial instruments.

(1) Fair values are based on the average forward Dated Brent oil prices on June 30, 2013 which by year are: 2013$100.99 and 2014$97.81. These fair values are subject to changes in the underlying commodity price. The average forward Dated Brent oil prices based on July 29, 2013 market quotes by year are: 2013$106.05 and 2014$101.67.
(2) Excludes $0.6 million of cash settlements made on our three-way collars which were settled in the month subsequent to period end.
Interest Rate Derivative Instruments
See Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsContractual Obligations section of our annual report on Form 10-K for specific information regarding the terms of our interest rate derivative instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
At June 30, 2013, we had indebtedness outstanding under the Facility of $900.0 million, of which $699.4 million bore interest at floating rates. The interest rate on this indebtedness as of June 30, 2013 was approximately 3.4%. If LIBOR increased 10% at this level of floating rate debt, we would pay an additional $0.1 million in interest expense per year on the Facility. We pay commitment fees on the $399.1 million of undrawn availability and $200.9 million of unavailable commitments under the Facility and on the $300.0 million of undrawn availability under the Corporate Revolver, which are not subject to changes in interest rates.
As of June 30, 2013, the fair market value of our interest rate swaps was a net liability of approximately $3.9 million. If LIBOR increased by 10%, we estimate the liability would decrease to approximately $3.7 million, and if LIBOR decreased by 10%, we estimate the liability would increase to approximately $4.0 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. This evaluation considered the various processes carried out under the direction of our disclosure committee in an effort to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the SEC reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accurate, complete and timely. However, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Consequently, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013, in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, including that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no material changes from the information concerning legal proceedings discussed in the Item 3. Legal Proceedings section of our annual report on Form 10-K.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors section of our annual report on Form 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There have been no material changes from the information concerning the use of proceeds from our IPO discussed in the Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities section of our annual report on Form 10-K.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
There have been no material changes required to be reported under this Item that have not previously been disclosed in the annual report on Form 10-K, other than as follows:
Disclosures Required Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Under the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, which added Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act, we are required to include certain disclosures in our periodic reports if we or any of our affiliates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) knowingly engaged in certain specified activities during the period covered by the report. Because the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines the term affiliate broadly, it includes any entity controlled by us as well as any person or entity that controls us or is under common control with us (control is also construed broadly by the SEC).
We are not presently aware that we and our consolidated subsidiaries have knowingly engaged in any transaction or dealing reportable under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013. In addition, except as described below, at the time of filing this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we are not aware of any such reportable transactions or dealings by companies that may be considered our affiliates as to whether they have knowingly engaged in any such reportable transactions or dealings during such periods. Upon the filing of periodic reports by such other companies for the fiscal quarter or fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, as the case may be, additional reportable transactions may be disclosed by such companies.
As of April 1, 2013, funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group (Blackstone) held approximately 29% of our outstanding common shares, and funds affiliated with Warburg Pincus (Warburg Pincus) held approximately 36% of our outstanding common shares. We are also a party to a shareholders agreement with Blackstone and Warburg Pincus pursuant to which, among other things, Blackstone and Warburg Pincus each currently have the right to designate three members of our board of directors. Accordingly, each of Blackstone and Warburg Pincus may be deemed an affiliate of us, both currently and during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Disclosure relating to Blackstone and its affiliates
Blackstone also informed us of the information reproduced below (the Hilton Disclosure) regarding Hilton Worldwide, Inc. (Hilton), a company that may be considered one of Blackstones affiliates. Because both we and Hilton are controlled by Blackstone, we may be considered an affiliate of Hilton for the purposes of Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act.
Hilton Disclosure:
Quarter ended June 30, 2013
As previously disclosed, during the reporting period, certain individual employees at two Hilton-branded hotels in the United Arab Emirates received routine wage payments as direct deposits to their personal accounts at Bank Melli, an entity identified on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List) maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control in the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Both of these hotels are owned by a third party, staffed by employees of the third-party owner and operated pursuant to a management agreement between the owner and a Hilton affiliate. In each case, these payments originated from the third-party owners account to the personal accounts of the employees at their chosen bank. During the reporting period, both hotels discontinued making direct deposits to accounts at Bank Melli. No revenues or net profits are associated with these transactions.
Also as previously disclosed, during the reporting period, several individuals stayed at the DoubleTree Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, pursuant to a rate agreement between the hotel and Mahan Air, an entity identified on the SDN List. The rate agreement was terminated as of May 2, 2013. This hotel is staffed by employees of the third-party owner and operated pursuant to a management agreement between the owner and a Hilton affiliate. Under the rate agreement, which was entered into in the name of the owner, the hotel reserved a number of rooms for Mahan Air crew members at the DoubleTree Kuala Lumpur several times each week. Revenue and net profit received by Hilton attributable to Mahan Air crew hotel stays during the reporting period was approximately $430.

6.5 Lenders participation
(A) If the conditions set out in this Agreement have been met, each Lender shall make its participation in the relevant Letter of Credit available by the Utilisation Date through its Facility Office in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(B) The amount of a Lenders participation in that Letter of Credit will be equal to the proportion borne by its Available Commitment to the Available Facility immediately prior to the making of the relevant Letter of Credit.
(C) Upon notification of a Utilisation to the Facility Agent pursuant to clause 6.2 ( Delivery of a Utilisation Request for Letters of Credit ), the Facility Agent shall notify each Lender of the Base Currency Amount of each Letter of Credit registered and the Base Currency Amount of its participation in each such Letter of Credit.
6.6 Issue of Letters of Credit
(A) If the conditions set out in this Agreement have been met, the LC Issuing Bank shall issue each Letter of Credit on the relevant Utilisation Date proposed in the Utilisation Request.
(B) The LC Issuing Bank will only be obliged to comply with paragraph (A) above if on the date of the Utilisation Request or Renewal or Extension Request and on the proposed Utilisation Date:
(i) the making of the proposed Utilisation would not result in the total outstanding Letters of Credit exceeding 40;
(ii) the making of the proposed Utilisation would not result in the aggregate of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the LC Issuing Banks exceeding the Total Commitments;
(iii) the LC Issuing Bank and the Lenders have completed all applicable (i) know-your-customer requirements and (ii) compliance requirements, in each case as required by law, regulation or the LC Issuing Banks mandatory internal policy (as consistently applied) regarding environmental issues, each in relation to the Beneficiary of the Letter of Credit.
(C) Subject to clause 6.14(B) ( Cash collateralisation ), the Borrower may request a Utilisation which requires a Letter of Credit to be issued by the LC Issuing Bank which has a term greater than the Availability Period under the Facility.
(D) The Borrower may request a Utilisation which requires a Letter of Credit to be issued by the LC Issuing Banks Facility Office (or branch) in any particular country, and the LC Issuing Bank shall, unless prevented from doing so by mandatory internal policy requirements (as applied consistently) or by applicable law or regulation, satisfy any such request. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause 6.6(D) shall not apply to any Letter of Credit required to be issued by the LC Issuing Banks London branch.
(E) If the Borrower requests a Utilisation which requires a Letter of Credit:
(i) to be issued by a financial institution in a country in which the LC Issuing Bank does not have a facility office (or branch); or
(ii) where clause 6.6(D) applies;
the LC Issuing Bank will use its best efforts, subject to the Borrowers prior written consent, to procure that such Letter of Credit is issued through a correspondent bank. In the event that the LC Issuing Bank is requested to issue any Letter of Credit through a correspondent bank then it shall promptly, and in any event within 15 Business Days of the date of any Utilisation Request, advise the Borrower of any reasonable additional and documented costs associated with the issue of the Letter of Credit by its correspondent bank (and the LC Issuing Bank shall provide the Borrower with copies of any agreement and any documentation providing for and evidencing the payment of such costs). For the avoidance of doubt the 15 Business Days during which the LC Issuing Bank is required to advise the Borrower of reasonable additional and documented costs shall have no impact or effect on the Utilisation Date. The LC Issuing Bank shall take all reasonable steps to minimise any such additional costs. In no event may the LC Issuing Bank increase the Margin or Letter of Credit Fee payable by the Borrower hereunder or charge any additional amount for its own account as a consequence of the issue of a Letter of Credit through a correspondent bank which it would not otherwise have been able to charge had the Letter of Credit been issued by it under this Agreement. Any additional costs properly incurred and payable to the correspondent bank by the LC Issuing Bank in respect of the issue of the Letter of Credit shall be borne by the Borrower. If the Borrower does not agree to the payment of such costs and/or the identity of the correspondent bank, it may revoke the Utilisation Request (without incurring any cost or liability to any Finance Party whatsoever for so doing).
(F) The Borrower may request that a Letter of Credit is issued in the Base Currency or, subject to clause 6.7 ( Conditions relating to Optional Currencies ), in an Optional Currency.
(G) For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may request that a Letter of Credit is issued on behalf of any member of the Group (and the LC Issuing Bank shall comply with any such request).
(H) The Borrower may request that a Letter of Credit is issued which is governed by the governing law of any jurisdiction (and the LC Issuing Bank shall comply with any such request). Where a Letter of Credit is to be governed by law which is not the law of England, the Borrower shall, if so requested by the LC Issuing Bank, pay the reasonable legal costs of the LC Issuing Bank incurred in relation to instructing external advisers to provide it and the Finance Parties with such advice as may reasonably be required in relation to that Letter of Credit.
(I) In the event that the rating of the LC Issuing Banks long-term unguaranteed, unsecured securities or debt falls below A3 (Moodys) or falls below a comparable rating from any other internationally recognised credit rating agency, then in any such case the LC Issuing Bank shall, without imposing any cost or penalty of any kind (arising under this Agreement or otherwise), at the direction of the Borrower novate any Letter of Credit identified by the Borrower to a person willing to accept the rights and obligations thereunder, subject to:
(i) the Borrower obtaining the prior consent and cooperation of the relevant Beneficiary in relation to the novation of the Letter of Credit; and;
(ii) the LC Issuing Bank completing all (i) know-your-customer requirements and (ii) compliance requirements which are, in each case required by law or regulation, each in relation to such person.
In both cases the LC Issuing Bank will, at the Borrowers cost, cooperate with the Borrower and sign such documents as may be necessary to effect the relevant transaction provided the LC Issuing Bank is satisfied that such documents release it from all obligations under the relevant Letter of Credit. The LC Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to procure a person willing to issue replacement Letters of Credit or have Letters of Credit novated to it.
(J) The Facility Agent shall notify the LC Issuing Bank and each Lender of the details of each requested Letter of Credit and its participation in that Letter of Credit within five Business Days.
(K) If the Borrower requests a Utilisation which requires a Letter of Credit to be issued in accordance with clauses 6.6 (D), (E) or (H) above, the LC Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue such Letter of Credit or procure that such Letter of Credit is issued unless the Borrower provides 10 Business Days advance notice of such request.
6.7 Conditions relating to Optional Currencies
The Borrower shall select the currency of a Letter of Credit in the relevant Utilisation Request or Renewal or Extension Request. A Letter of Credit may be issued in the Base Currency or any currency which is freely convertible into the Base Currency and
approved by the LC Issuing Bank acting reasonably (such currency being an Optional Currency ). In the event that such currency is not approved by the LC Issuing Bank, the LC Issuing Bank shall notify the Facility Agent and the Borrower in writing not less than three Business Days prior to the proposed Utilisation Date, and the relevant Utilisation Request shall be deemed to be revoked upon the delivery of such notice (without the Borrower incurring any cost or liability to any Finance Party whatsoever).
6.8 Renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit
(A) The Borrower may request any Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement be renewed or extended by delivery to the Facility Agent of a renewal or extension request in the form set out in Schedule 9 ( Form of Renewal or Extension Request ) by the fifth Business Day before the date of the proposed renewal (a Renewal or Extension Request ).
(B) The Lenders shall treat any Renewal or Extension Request in the same way as a Utilisation Request for a Letter of Credit.
(C) The terms of each renewed or extended Letter of Credit shall be the same as those of the relevant Letter of Credit immediately prior to its renewal or extension, except that:
(i) its amount may be less than the amount of the Letter of Credit;
(ii) (in relation to a renewal only) its Term shall start on the date which was the expiry date of the Letter of Credit immediately prior to its renewal and shall end on the proposed expiry date specified in the Renewal or Extension Request; and
(iii) (in relation to an extension only) its Term shall start on the date which was the start date of the Letter of Credit immediately prior to its extension, and shall end on the proposed expiry date specified in the Renewal or Extension Request.
(D) If the conditions set out in this Agreement have been met, the LC Issuing Bank shall re-issue and/or amend any Letter of Credit pursuant to a Renewal or Extension Request.
6.9 Claims under a Letter of Credit
(A) The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally authorises the LC Issuing Bank to pay any claim made or purported to be made under a Letter of Credit and which appears on its face to be in order (a Claim ).
(B) Subject to paragraph (C) below, the Borrower shall within five Business Days on written demand by the Facility Agent pay to the LC Issuing Bank for the account of each Lender an amount equal to the amount of any Claim. The Borrower irrevocably authorises the use by the Facility Agent, the Security Agent and the Account Bank, of amounts standing to the credit of the LC Cash Collateral Accounts in making such payment and each of the Facility Agent and the Security Agent shall take all such steps (and procure that the Account Bank takes all such steps) as may reasonably be required (at the cost of the Borrower) for the Borrower to make such payment.
(C) The Borrower acknowledges that the LC Issuing Bank:
(i) is not obliged to carry out any investigation or seek any confirmation from any other person before paying a Claim; and
(ii) deals in documents only and will not be concerned with the legality of a Claim or any underlying transaction or any available set-off, counterclaim or other defence of any person.
(D) The obligations of the Borrower under this clause will not be affected by:
(i) the sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of any Claim or any other document; or
(ii) any incapacity of, or limitation on the powers of, any person signing a Claim or other document.
6.10 Indemnities
(A) Subject to clause 6.9 ( Claims under a Letter of Credit ), the Borrower shall immediately on demand indemnify the LC Issuing Bank against any cost, loss or liability incurred by such LC Issuing Bank in acting as LC Issuing Bank hereunder (otherwise than by reason of such LC Issuing Banks gross negligence or wilful misconduct).
(B) Each Lender shall (according to its portion of the Available Facility), immediately on demand by the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the LC Issuing Bank), indemnify the LC Issuing Bank against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the LC Issuing Bank (otherwise than by reason of such LC Issuing Banks gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as such LC Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (unless that LC Issuing Bank has been reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to a Finance Document).
(C) Subject to clause 6.9 ( Claims under a Letter of Credit ), the Borrower shall immediately on demand reimburse any Lender for any payment it makes to the LC Issuing Bank under this clause 6.10 ( Indemnities ).
(D) The obligations of each Lender and the Borrower under this clause are continuing obligations and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by that Lender or, as the case may be, the Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.
(E) The obligations of a Lender or a Borrower under this clause will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this clause (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any other person) including:
(i) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor, any beneficiary under a Letter of Credit or any other person;
(ii) the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement;
(iii) the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor, any
beneficiary under a Letter of Credit or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;
(iv) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor, any beneficiary under a Letter of Credit or any other person;
(v) any amendment (however fundamental) or replacement of a Finance Document, any Letter of Credit or any other document or security;
(vi) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document, any Letter of Credit or any other document or security; or
(vii) any insolvency or similar proceedings.
6.11 Role of the LC Issuing Bank
(A) Nothing in this Agreement designates the LC Issuing Bank as a trustee or fiduciary of any other person.
(B) The LC Issuing Bank shall not be bound to account to any Lender for any sum, or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account.
(C) The LC Issuing Bank may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with any member of the Group.
(D) The LC Issuing Bank may rely on:
(i) any representation, notice or document believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised; and
(ii) any statement made by a director, Authorised Signatory or employee of any person regarding any matters which may reasonably be assumed to be within his knowledge or within his power to verify.
(E) The LC Issuing Bank may engage, pay for and rely on the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, surveyors or other experts.
(F) The LC Issuing Bank may act in relation to the Finance Documents through its personnel and agents.
(G) The LC Issuing Bank is not responsible for:
(i) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) provided by any Party (including itself), or any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; or
(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document.
6.12 Credit appraisal by the Lenders
Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms to the LC Issuing Bank that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including, but not limited to, those listed in paragraphs (A) to (D) of clause 23.14 ( Credit appraisal by the Lenders ).
6.13 Amendments and Waivers
Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document, an amendment or waiver which relates to the rights or obligations of the LC Issuing Bank may not be effected without the consent of the LC Issuing Bank.
6.14 Cash collateralisation
(A) The Borrower shall deposit and maintain Cash Collateral in the LC Cash Collateral Accounts which is in aggregate at least equal to 75 per cent. of the aggregate USD face value of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued under the Facility at any time.
(B) If any Letter of Credit has an expiry date which is after the Termination Date (an Ongoing Letter of Credit ) and if the Facility has not been extended or otherwise replaced, then during the period between the Termination Date and the expiry date of any Ongoing Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall, for each such Ongoing Letter of Credit, deposit and maintain Cash Collateral in the LC Cash Collateral Accounts which is at least equal to 100 per cent. of the USD face value of each Ongoing Letter of Credit. For the avoidance of doubt, this obligation shall survive the occurrence of the Termination Date.
(C) Within five Business Days after a breach of any of the Financial Covenants in clause 18 ( Financial Covenants ) the Borrower shall, until such breach is no longer continuing, deposit and maintain Cash Collateral in the LC Cash Collateral Accounts at least equal to 100 per cent. of the aggregate USD face value of all current outstanding Letters of Credit drawn under the Facility.
(D) The LC Issuing Bank shall (i) every six months from the date of this Agreement, (ii) following notification from the LC Issuing Bank of a significant currency disruption event, or (iii) at the reasonable request of the Lenders (and to the extent that such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately following Business Day), the LC Issuing Bank shall determine and inform the Borrower within five Business Days of the USD face value of the Cash Collateral in the LC Cash Collateral Accounts and the USD face value of each current outstanding Letter of Credit (the Forex Calculation ), such amount to be least equal to 75 per cent. of the aggregate USD face value of such current outstanding Letter of Credit issued under the Facility based on the Facility Agents Spot Rate of Exchange on the Business Day on which the Forex Calculation is made.
(E) If at any time there is insufficient Cash Collateral standing to the credit of the LC Cash Collateral Accounts pursuant to either clause 6.14(A), 6.14(B), 6.14(C), 6.14(D) or clause 8.2(A)(iii) ( Change of Control ), the Borrower shall be required to deposit and maintain the required additional Cash Collateral in the LC Cash Collateral Accounts within five Business Days of being notified in writing by the Facility Agent of such insufficiency.
(F) The Borrower may at any time instruct the Facility Agent to instruct the Security Agent and the Account Bank to release any Cash Collateral standing to the credit of the LC Cash Collateral Accounts (subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreements) which is not then required to be maintained in that account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (such amount as calculated and confirmed by the Facility Agent in each case) (including, if necessary, by releasing any security held over such amount) and for such amount to be paid to the Borrower or as the Borrower shall instruct (and the Facility Agent and the Security Agent shall comply and shall procure that the Account Bank complies with such instructions). For the avoidance of doubt, where the Borrower has deposited an amount into the LC Cash Collateral Accounts to cure or to prevent an Event of Default from occurring or continuing pursuant to clause 20.3 ( Breach of Financial Covenants), then on and from the date upon which such Event of Default has been (and remains) cured or waived the Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw any excess amount above the amount which would otherwise be required to be deposited into the LC Cash Collateral Accounts pursuant to clause 6.14(A).
6.15 Transfer of existing Letters of Credit
Upon request by the Borrower, the LC Issuing Bank and the Facility Agent will consult with the Borrower with a view to procuring that any letters of credit issued by any member of the Group prior to the date of this Agreement ( Pre-existing Letters of Credit ) become letters of credit issued under and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each such party shall act in good faith and shall use all reasonable endeavours and enter into such documentation as may reasonably be required to give effect to this clause. If any such existing letter of credit was issued by the LC Issuing Bank, then the form of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be acceptable to both the LC Issuing Bank and the Facility Agent.
PART 4
PAYMENTS, CANCELLATION, INTEREST AND FEES
7. REPAYMENT
Subject to clause 6.9 ( Claims under a Letter of Credit ), if a Claim is made under a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall repay an amount equal to the Claim within five Business Days of written demand by the LC Issuing Bank.
8. PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION
8.1 Illegality
(A) If it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for a Lender (an Illegality Lender ) to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by the Finance Documents or to fund or maintain its participation in any Utilisation:
(i) that Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent upon becoming aware of that event;
(ii) the Borrower shall to the extent possible and at the sole discretion of the Borrower, implement arrangements whereby all of the Illegality Lenders Commitment is transferred to a Lender or a New Lender and the affected Illegality Lender will provide all reasonable assistance to facilitate such transfer; and
(iii) where the process described at paragraph (ii) above is not possible, the Commitment of that Lender will be immediately cancelled and the Borrower shall repay the Illegality Lenders participations in the Utilisations made to the Borrower on the date specified by the Illegality Lender in the notice delivered to the Facility Agent.
(B) If it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for the Borrower to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by the Finance Documents:
(i) the Borrower shall promptly notify the Facility Agent upon becoming aware of that event;
(ii) the Facility Agent shall notify the Lenders; and
(iii) with all reasonable assistance of the Lenders the Borrower shall endeavour to cancel all outstanding Letters of Credit within 90 days of the notice provided under clause 8.1(B)(i) ( Illegality ).
8.2 Change of Control
(A) Upon a Change of Control:
(i) the Obligor shall promptly notify the Facility Agent upon becoming aware of the occurrence of that event; and
(ii) the LC Issuing Bank shall not be obliged to issue any Letter of Credit except pursuant to a Renewal or Extension Request;
(iii) if the Majority Lenders so require, the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable (and in any event within 30 Business Days) deposit and maintain in the LC Cash Collateral Accounts an amount equal to the aggregate face value of all outstanding Letters of Credit at that time .
(B) For the purpose of paragraph (A) above, Change of Control means any person (or persons with whom they act in concert) other than a Permitted Transferee acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than 50 per cent. of the ordinary share capital in the Obligor carrying a right to vote in general meetings of that company. For the avoidance of doubt, a Change of Control shall not occur on an IPO of any shareholder (directly or indirectly) in the Borrower.
(C) For the purposes of paragraph (B) above, any persons includes more than one person acting in concert and a Permitted Transferee means:
(i) a Shareholder;
(ii) a Shareholder Affiliate;
(iii) a member of the Group; or
(iv) a person who is otherwise approved by the Majority Lenders (acting reasonably) provided that any Lender which does not grant its approval may, on not less than 30 days written notice to the Facility Agent and the Company, demand that its participation in the Facility be prepaid in full and that its Commitment be immediately cancelled, provided that the Company may, in accordance with paragraph (B) of clause 8.5 (Right of repayment and cancellation in relation to a single Lender ), procure the replacement of that Lender or the transfer of its participation and Commitment to another Lender (with that Lenders consent) rather than such prepayment and cancellation provided that such replacement or transfer is completed within the relevant notice period given by the relevant Lender. If such replacement or transfer does not occur within the relevant period, that Lenders participation in the Facility shall be immediately due and payable in full by the Borrower and its Commitment immediately cancelled.
8.3 Automatic cancellation
At the close of business in London on the last Business Day of the Availability Period for the Facility, the undrawn Commitment of each Lender under the Facility at that time shall be automatically cancelled.
8.4 Voluntary cancellation
(A) The Company may, by giving not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior written notice to the Facility Agent, without penalty, cancel the Available Facility in whole or in part (but if in part, in a minimum amount of USD 1 million or, if less, the relevant Commitments in the Available Facility). The relevant Commitments in respect of the Facility will be cancelled on a date specified in such notice, being a date not earlier than 10 Business Days after the relevant notice is received by the Facility Agent.
(B) Any valid notice of cancellation will be irrevocable and will specify the date on which the cancellation shall take effect. No part of any Commitment which has been cancelled or which is the subject of a notice of cancellation may subsequently be utilised.
(C) When any cancellation of Commitments under the Facility takes effect, each Lenders Available Commitment under the Facility will be reduced by an amount which bears the same proportion to the total amount being cancelled as its Available Commitment under the Facility bears to the Available Facility (at that time).
8.5 Right of repayment and cancellation in relation to a single Lender
(A) If:
(i) the Company reasonably believes that the sum payable to any Lender by an Obligor is required to be increased under clause 11.2 ( Tax gross-up );
(ii) the Company receives a notice from the Facility Agent under clause 11.3 ( Tax Indemnity ) or clause 12.1 ( Increased costs );
(iii) any Lender is or becomes a Non-Funding Lender;
(iv) the rating of any Lenders long-term unguaranteed, unsecured securities or debt is reduced to below A3 (Moodys) or a comparable rating from an internationally recognised credit rating agency,
the Company may, while (in the case of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above) the circumstance giving rise to the belief or notice continues or (in the case of (iii) or (iv) above) the relevant circumstance continues:
(a) give the Facility Agent notice of cancellation of the Commitment of that Lender and its intention to procure the repayment of that Lenders participation in the Utilisations;
(b) in the case of a Non-Funding Lender or Illegality Lender, give the Facility Agent notice of cancellation of the Available Commitment of that Lender in relation to the Facility and reinstate all or part of such Available Commitment in accordance with paragraph (B) below; or
(c) replace that Lender in accordance with paragraph (B) below.
(B) The Company may:
(i) in the circumstances set out in paragraph (A) above or pursuant to clause 8.1 ( Illegality ) or clause 8.2(A)(ii) ( Change of Control ), replace an Existing Lender (as defined in clause 21 ( Changes to the Lenders )), with one or more other Lenders (which need not be Existing Lenders) (each a Replacement Lender ), which have agreed to purchase all or part of the Commitment and participations of that Existing Lender in Utilisations made to the Borrower pursuant to an assignment or transfer in accordance with the provisions of clause 21 ( Changes to the Lenders ); or
(ii) in the circumstances set out in paragraph (A)(iv)(a) of this clause 8.5, cancel the Available Commitments of the Non-Funding Lender or Illegality Lender in respect of the Facility and procure that one or more Replacement Lenders assume Commitments under the Facility in
an aggregate amount not exceeding the Available Commitment of the relevant Non-Funding Lender or Illegality Lender in relation to the Facility,
in each case on condition that:
(a) each assignment or transfer under this paragraph (B) shall be arranged by the Company (with such reasonable assistance from the Existing Lender as the Company may reasonably request); and
(b) no Existing Lender shall be obliged to make any assignment or transfer pursuant to this paragraph (B) unless and until it has received payment from the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders in an aggregate amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the participations in the Utilisations owing to the Existing Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees and all other amounts payable to the Existing Lender under this Agreement.
(C) On receipt of a notice from the Company referred to in paragraph (A) above, the Commitment of that Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero.
(D) Within 90 days of the Company having given notice of cancellation under paragraph (A) above (or, if earlier, the date specified by the Company in that notice), the Company shall repay that Lenders participation in the relevant Utilisation.
(E) Paragraphs (A) and (B) do not in any way limit the obligations of any Finance Party under clause 14.1 ( Mitigation ).
9. INTEREST
9.1 Default interest
(A) Other than Cash Collateral, if an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (B) below, is 1 per cent. higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Letter of Credit in the currency of the overdue amount issued for a period equal to the period during which the overdue amount remains outstanding. Any interest accruing under this clause shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on written demand by the Facility Agent.
(B) Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each 90-day period but will remain immediately due and payable.
10. FEES
10.1 Letter of Credit fee
(A) The Borrower shall pay to the LC Issuing Bank, for the account of the Lenders to share rateably in accordance with their participation in each Letter of Credit, a letter of credit fee at a
rate equal to the Margin (the Letter of Credit Rate ) on the outstanding amount of each Letter of Credit from the period starting from the Utilisation Date in respect of that Letter of Credit until its expiry date or such earlier date upon which it is terminated (the Letter of Credit Fee ).
(B) The Letter of Credit Fee shall continue to be payable on the full outstanding balance of each Letter of Credit. The outstanding balance shall not be reduced by any amount of Cash Collateral deposited in the LC Cash Collateral Accounts.
(C) The accrued Letter of Credit Fee on each Letter of Credit is payable quarterly in arrears and on the expiry date or such earlier termination date of each Letter of Credit.
10.2 Arrangement fee
The Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) an arrangement fee in the amount and at the time agreed in the Fee Letter.
10.3 Security Agent and Facility Agent fee
If the Original Lender ceases to be the sole Lender under the Facility, the Parties shall, acting reasonably, agree fees payable to the Security Agent and the Facility Agent (the Security Agent Fee and the Facility Agent Fee respectively). The Borrower shall pay to the Security Agent and the Facility Agent the Security Agent Fee and the Facility Agent Fee in the amount and at the times agreed in a Fee Letter.
10.4 LC Issuing Bank fee
Where the Original Lender ceases to be the sole lender under the Facility the Parties shall, acting reasonably, agree the LC Issuing Bank fee. The Borrower shall pay to the LC Issuing Bank the LC Issuing Bank fee in the amount and at the times agreed in a Fee Letter.
PART 5
TAXES, INCREASED COSTS AND INDEMNITIES
11. TAX GROSS-UP AND INDEMNITIES
11.1 Definitions
(A) In this Agreement:
Tax Credit means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax.
Tax Deduction means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document.
Tax Payment means either the increase in a payment made by an Obligor to a Finance Party under clause 11.2 ( Tax gross-up ) or a payment under clause 11.3 ( Tax Indemnity ).
11.2 Tax gross-up
(A) Each Obligor shall make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.
(B) The Company shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly.
(C) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.
(D) If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.
(E) Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party (acting reasonably) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing Authority.
(F) If an Obligor makes any payment to a Finance Party in respect of or relating to a Tax Deduction, but such Obligor was not obliged to make such payment, the relevant Finance Party shall within five Business Days of demand refund such payment to such Obligor.
11.3 Tax Indemnity
(A) Except as provided below, the Borrower shall (within five Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) indemnify a Finance Party against any loss, liability or cost which that Finance Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered by that Finance Party for or on account of Tax, by that Finance Party in respect of a Finance Document.
(B) Paragraph (A) above shall not apply:
(i) with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party under the law of the jurisdiction in which:
(a) that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for Tax purposes; or
(b) that Finance Partys Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,
if in either such case that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party or that Finance Partys Facility Office; or

PART 9
CHANGES TO LENDERS AND OBLIGORS AND ROLES
21. CHANGES TO THE LENDERS
21.1 Assignments and transfers and changes in Facility Office by the Lenders
Subject to this clause and to clause 21.2 ( Transfer of LC Issuing Bank role ), a Lender (the Existing Lender ) may:
(A)
(i) assign any of its rights; or
(ii) transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,
to an Affiliate, another Lender, an Affiliate of another Lender or a Qualifying Bank, another bank or financial institution or to a trust or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets or such other institution as the Borrower may agree in writing (the New Lender ), or
(B) change its Facility Office.
21.2 Transfer of LC Issuing Bank role
The Original Lender, who at the Signing Date holds the role of LC Issuing Bank, may not, without the prior written consent of the Borrower, assign, novate or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations as LC Issuing Bank.
21.3 Conditions of assignment and transfer or change in Facility Office
(A) The consent of the Company is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is (i) to, or in favour of, another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Qualifying Bank, or (ii) made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing.
(B) The consent of the Company is required for a change in Facility Office to a different jurisdiction. In the case of a change of Facility Office for which the Companys consent is not required, the Lender must notify the Company of the new Facility Office promptly on the change taking effect.
(C) The consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer or change in Facility Office must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (and will be deemed to have been given five Business Days after the relevant Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Company within that time).
(D) An assignment will only be effective on:
(i) receipt by the Facility Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same
obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and
(ii) the New Lender entering into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the relevant Finance Documents.
(E) A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in clause 21.6 ( Procedure for transfer ) is complied with.
(F) If:
(i) a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and
(ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under clause 11 ( Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities ) or clause 12 ( Increased costs ),
then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.
(G) Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Facility Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with the Finance Documents on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement.
(H) Any assignment or transfer of part of the Existing Lenders rights and/or obligations must be a minimum of USD 5 million (or, if less, the entire Commitment of the Existing Lender) and must not result in the Existing Lender retaining less than USD 5 million, unless the assignment or transfer is made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing.
21.4 Assignment or transfer fee
The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of USD 2,500.

(A) Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:
(i) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;
(ii) the financial condition of any Obligor;
(iii) the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or
(iv) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,
and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.
(B) Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:
(i) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in the Facility and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and
(ii) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.
(C) Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:
(i) accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this clause; or
(ii) support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.
21.6 Procedure for transfer
(A) Subject to the conditions set out in clause 21.3 ( Conditions of assignment and transfer or change in Facility Office ) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (B) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate and Lender Accession Notice delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate and Lender Accession Notice appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate and Lender Accession Notice on behalf of the other Finance Parties and the Obligors as well as itself, and notify the Company of the date of the transfer and name of the New Lender. Each Finance Party and each Obligor irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to sign such a Transfer Certificate and Lender Accession Notice on its behalf.
(B) On the Transfer Date:
(i) to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents, each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the Discharged Rights and Obligations );
(ii) each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;
(iii) the Facility Agent, the New Lender and the other Finance Parties shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent such Finance Parties and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and
(iv) the New Lender shall become a Party as a Lender .

any information about any Obligor, the Group and the Finance Documents as that Lender shall consider appropriate if, in relation to paragraphs (A) to (C) above, the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking (unless such person is already subject to professional confidentiality requirements which are no less stringent than those which are set out in a Confidentiality Undertaking) and provided that it shall itself ensure that all such information is kept confidential and is protected with security measures and a degree of care that would apply to its own confidential information.

Contractor Tax Liability . Except as otherwise provided below, Contractor assumes full and exclusive liability for the payment of all taxes including, by way of illustration and not limitation, corporate taxes, personal income taxes, payroll taxes, property taxes, and other direct taxes, as may be imposed on Contractor, in Morocco or the country of Contractors registration in Morocco which directly result from the carrying out of the Drilling Services by Contractor, whatever may be the methods of assessment, calculation and recovery or any other taxes of similar nature that may be imposed by the Government of Morocco or by any country having jurisdiction to levy such taxes on Contractor as a result of the performance of the Drilling Services under this Country Contract (collectively, Taxes ).
(a) VAT Exemption . Rates and prices under this Country Contract do not include any value added tax ( VAT ), turnover taxes, transaction taxes, use taxes, production taxes, consumption taxes, stamp taxes, nor any other taxes of similar nature assessed on supplies, equipment and services to be delivered to Operator or performed under this Country Contract. Contractor shall separately state any value-added tax or similar tax in its invoice; however, Contractor shall not invoice Operator for any such tax where Operator has furnished evidence of exemption status to Contractor.
(b) Withholding Taxes. Operator shall have the right to withhold any Taxes and other government assessments on payments to Contractor to the extent required by Law or pursuant to the agreement with a host country and the rate set forth in any applicable work orders shall include such withholding taxes and other government assessments. Upon payment of the amount withheld to the appropriate government entity or agency such amount withheld shall be deemed payment to the respective Contractor, and Operator shall have no further obligation to pay such amount to the respective Contractor. Where Operator has withheld amounts due Contractor, Operator shall provide Contractor evidence of such tax withholding in the form of an original tax receipt or other evidence of payment in a timely manner, if requested.
