The amended terms include an increase to $47 million in the borrowing base as compared to $30 million under the prior agreement.  The maximum amount of borrowings available to Synergy under the new agreement is $150 million.  The maximum amount is subject to certain borrowing base collateral requirements, which will be reviewed by the syndicate group every six months upon issuance of updated reserve reports.  The maximum interest rate on the line of credit is LIBOR plus 3.25%.
