(5) Long-Term Debt:
Bank Debt:
On February 15, 2017, the Company and its lenders entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) with a maturity date of February 15, 2021. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and subsequent amendments were amended and restated by the 2017 Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company has a revolving line of credit and letter of credit facility of up to $300 million subject to a borrowing base that is determined semi-annually by the lenders based upon the Company’s financial statements and the estimated value of the Company’s oil and gas properties, in accordance with the Lenders’ customary practices for oil and gas loans. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s oil and gas properties. The 2017 Credit Agreement includes terms and covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum current ratio, total indebtedness to EBITDAX (earnings before depreciation, depletion, amortization, taxes, interest expense and exploration costs) ratio and interest coverage ratio, as defined, and restrictions are placed on the payment of dividends, the amount of treasury stock the Company may purchase, commodity hedge agreements, and loans and investments in its consolidated subsidiaries and limited partnerships.
On December 22, 2017, the Company and its lenders entered into a First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The credit agreement includes the addition of a new lender and retains all other aspects of the original credit agreement. As of the effective date of this amendment the Company’s borrowing base was increased to $85 million.
On July 17, 2018, the Company and its lenders entered into a Second Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The credit agreement includes modifications for the borrowing base utilization margins and rates by type of borrowing, revises minimum quantifications for individual borrowings, reduces the overall percentage required for commodity hedge agreements, modifies the requirements placed on the Company’s ability to purchase equity interests and retains all other aspects of the original credit agreement. As of the effective date of this amendment the Company’s borrowing base was increased to $90 million.
On January 8, 2019, the Company and its lenders entered into a Third Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The credit agreement includes additions for a Beneficial Ownership Certification on the effective date of the amendment. The agreement includes further clarifications for potential LIBOR loan market rate issues, swap agreement modifications and retains all other aspects of the original credit agreement. As of the effective date of this amendment the Company’s borrowing base was increased to $100 million. Pursuant to borrowing base redeterminations on June 26, 2019 and December 18, 2019, the borrowing base was set at $90, million and $72, million respectively.
On May 8^th^ 2020 , the Company and its lenders entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
On September 4, 2020, the Company and its lenders entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of the effective date of this amendment the Company’s borrowing base was decreased to $50 million. The amendment includes an automatic reduction of $666,666.67 to the borrowing base on October 1, 2020, November 1, 2020 and December 1, 2020. The amendment also revised the applicable borrowing base utilization percentages for Eurodollar and ABR loans with a range of 2.5% to 3.5% and 1.5% to 2.5%, respectively. The agreement also adjusted percentages of title and mortgage guarantees supported by the oil and gas properties presented to the administrative agent at each borrowing redetermination as supported by the required reserve report.
At September 30, 2020, the Company had a total of $40 million of borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility at a weighted-average interest rate of 3.99 % and $10 million was available for future borrowings. The combined weighted average interest rate paid on outstanding bank borrowings subject to base rate and LIBO interest was 3.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to 5.44% for nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company’s borrowings under this credit facility approximates fair value because the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates.
Paycheck Protection Program Loans
During May 2020, Prime Operating Company and Eastern Oil Well Services Corporation, subsidiaries of the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $1.28 million and $0.47 million , respectively, under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the CARES Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020. The PPP Loans are evidenced by a promissory note in favor of the Lender, which bears interest at the rate of 1.00% per annum. No payments of principal or interest are due under the note until the date on which the amount of loan forgiveness (if any) under the CARES Act, which can be up to 10 months after the end of the related notes covered period (which is defined as 24 weeks after the date of the loan) (the “Deferral Period”). The note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the PPP Loans may be used only for payroll and related costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations that were incurred prior to February 15, 2020 (the “Qualifying Expenses”). Under the terms of the PPP Loans, certain amounts thereunder may be forgiven if they are used for

Table of Contents
Qualifying Expenses as described in and in compliance with the CARES Act. While the Company intends to use the PPP Loan proceeds exclusively for Qualifying Expenses, it is unclear and uncertain whether the conditions for forgiveness of the PPP Loans will be met under the current guidelines of the CARES Act. Accordingly, we cannot make any assurance that the Company will be eligible for forgiveness of the PPP Loans, in whole or in part. To the extent, if any, that any or all of the PPP loans are not forgiven, beginning one month following expiration of the Deferral Period, and continuing monthly until 24 months from the date of each applicable Note (the “Maturity Date”), the Company is obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest to the Lender with respect to any unforgiven portion of the Note, in such equal amounts required to fully amortize the principal amount outstanding on such Note as of the last day of the applicable Deferral Period by the applicable Maturity Date. The Company accounts for these loans as financial liabilities.
(6) OtherLong-Term Obligations and Commitments:
Operating Leases:
The Company leases office facilities under operating leases and recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases assets and liabilities are initially recorded at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. A new finance lease for office equipment is included in property and equipment, other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities this quarter. As most of the Company’s lease contracts do not provide an implicit discount rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The weighted average discount rate used was 5.5%. Certain leases may contain variable costs above the minimum required payments and are not included in the right-of-use assets or liabilities. Leases may include renewal, purchase or termination options that can extend or shorten the term of the lease. The exercise of those options is at the Company’s sole discretion and is evaluated at inception and throughout the contract to determine if a modification of the lease term is required. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
Operating lease costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $434 thousand. Cash payments included in the operating lease cost for nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $462 thousand. The weighted-average remaining operating lease terms is 10 months. The amortization and interest expense for financing lease amounted to $1,778 and the cash payment for the lease was $1,913 and the lease term remaining was for 7 months.
The payment schedule for the Company’s operating and financing lease obligations as of September 30, 2020 is as follows:

The Company amended certain leases for office space in Texas and Oklahoma providing for payments of $461 thousand and $89 thousand in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Rent expense for office space for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $496,000 and $484,000, respectively.

Table of Contents
The Company’s liability is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive life of wells and a risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligation. Revisions to the asset retirement obligation are recorded with an offsetting change to producing properties, resulting in prospective changes to depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and accretion of discount. Because of the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long life of most of the Company’s wells, the costs to ultimately retire the wells may vary significantly from previous estimates.
(7) Contingent Liabilities:
The Company, as managing general partner of the affiliated Partnerships, is responsible for all Partnership activities, including the drilling of development wells and the production and sale of oil and gas from productive wells. The Company also provides the administration, accounting and tax preparation work for the Partnerships, and is liable for all debts and liabilities of the affiliated Partnerships, to the extent that the assets of a given limited Partnership are not sufficient to satisfy its obligations.
The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations. Management believes that future expenses, before recoveries from third parties, if any, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition. This opinion is based on expenses incurred to date for remediation and compliance with laws and regulations, which have not been material to the Company’s results of operations.
From time to time, the Company is party to certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these events cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect these matters to have a materially adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
(8) Stock Options and Other Compensation:
In May 1989, non-statutory stock options were granted by the Company to four key executive officers for the purchase of shares of common stock. At June 30, 2020 and 2019, remaining options held by two key executive officers on 767,500 shares were outstanding and exercisable at prices ranging from $1.00 to $1.25. According to their terms, the options have no expiration date.
(9) Related Party Transactions:
The Company, as managing general partner or managing trustee, makes an annual offer to repurchase the interests of the partners and trust unit holders in certain of the Partnerships or Trusts. The Company purchased interests totaling $306,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019. The Company had no such repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Payables owed to related parties primarily represent receipts collected by the Company as agent for the joint venture partners, which may include members of the Company’s Board of Directors, for oil and gas sales net of expenses.

Fair Value Measurements:
Authoritative guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and stipulates the related disclosure requirements. The Company follows a three-level hierarchy, prioritizing and defining the types of inputs used to measure fair value. The fair values of the natural gas, crude oil price swaps and natural gas liquid swaps are designated as Level 3. The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The derivative contracts were measured based on quotes from the Company’s counterparties. Such quotes have been derived using valuation models that consider various inputs including current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, quoted forward prices for natural gas , crude oil, natural gas liquids, volatility factors and interest rates, such as a LIBOR curve for a similar length of time as the derivative contract term as applicable. These estimates are verified using comparable NYMEX futures contracts or are compared to multiple quotes obtained from counterparties for reasonableness.
The significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 derivative contracts include basis differentials and volatility factors. An increase (decrease) in these unobservable inputs would result in an increase (decrease) in fair value, respectively. The Company does not have access to the specific assumptions used in its counterparties’ valuation models. Consequently, additional disclosures regarding significant Level 3 unobservable inputs were not provided.

Derivative Instruments:
The Company is exposed to commodity price and interest rate risk, and management considers periodically the Company’s exposure to cash flow variability resulting from the commodity price changes and interest rate fluctuations. Futures, swaps and options are used to manage the Company’s exposure to commodity price risk inherent in the Company’s oil and gas production operations. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to any of its commodity based derivatives. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with commodity derivative instruments are recognized in earnings.
Interest rate swap derivatives are treated as cash-flow hedges and are used to fix the Company’s floating interest rates on existing debt. The value of interest rate swaps if applicable, would be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. There are no current interest rate swaps for the periods ending September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

| Item 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
|---|
The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our results of operations and our present financial condition. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report contain additional information that should be referred to when reviewing this material.
OVERVIEW
We attempt to assume the position of operator in all acquisitions of producing properties and will continue to evaluate prospects for leasehold acquisitions and for exploration and development operations in areas in which we own interests. We continue to actively pursue the acquisition of producing properties. To diversify and broaden our asset base, we will consider acquiring the assets or stock in other entities and companies in the oil and gas business. Our main objective in making any such acquisitions will be to acquire income producing assets to build stockholder value through consistent growth in our oil and gas reserve base on a cost-efficient basis.
Our cash flows depend on many factors, including the price of oil and gas, the success of our acquisition and drilling activities and the operational performance of our producing properties. We use derivative instruments to manage our commodity price risk. This practice may prevent us from receiving the full advantage of any increases in oil and gas prices above the maximum fixed amount specified in the derivative agreements and subjects us to the credit risk of the counterparties to such agreements. Since all our derivative contracts are accounted for under mark-to-market accounting, we expect continued volatility in gains and losses on mark-to-market derivative contracts in our consolidated statement of operations as changes occur in the NYMEX price indices.
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which originated in Wuhan, China, and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. In addition, in March 2020, members of OPEC failed to agree on production levels which has caused an increased supply and has led to a substantial decrease in oil prices and an increasingly volatile market. The oil price war ended with a deal to cut global petroleum output but did not go far enough to offset the impact of COVID-19 on demand. There has been an increase in supply which has pushed prices down further since March. If the depressed pricing continues for an extended period it will lead to i) further reductions in the borrowing base under our credit facility which would require us to make additional borrowing base deficiency payments, ii) reductions in reserves, and iii) additional impairment of proved and unproved oil and gas properties. We also expect disclosures of supplemental oil and gas information to be impacted by price declines.
In response to recent commodity prices our efforts to reduce costs include reducing operating costs and electing to shut-in marginal wells. The Company reviewed field operations to minimize costs and identify wells for short term shut-ins. The Company has also implemented a reduction in workforce to further reduce general and administrative costs. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and the decline in oil prices continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that these events will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations.
Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020. These matters may have a continued material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown, which may impair the Company’s asset values, including reserve estimates. Further, consumer demand has decreased since the spread of the outbreak and new travel restrictions placed by governments in an effort to curtail the spread of the coronavirus. Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impacts of these events at this time, if the pandemic and/or decreased oil prices continue, they may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2020.
Our financial results depend on many factors, particularly the price of natural gas and crude oil and our ability to market our production on economically attractive terms. Commodity prices are affected by many factors outside of our control, including changes in market supply and demand, which are impacted by weather conditions, pipeline capacity constraints, inventory storage levels, basis differentials and other factors. In addition, our realized prices are further impacted by our derivative and hedging activities.
We derive our revenue and cash flow principally from the sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs. As a result, our revenues are determined, to a large degree, by prevailing prices for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs. We sell our oil and natural gas on the open market at prevailing market prices or through forward delivery contracts. Because some of our operations are located outside major markets, we are directly impacted by regional prices regardless of Henry Hub, WTI or other major market pricing. The market price for oil, natural gas and NGLs is dictated by supply and demand; consequently, we cannot accurately predict or control the price we
may receive for our oil, natural gas and NGLs. The price of oil and natural gas has fallen significantly since the beginning of 2020, due in part to failed Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) negotiations as well as concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the worldwide economy and global demand for oil and gas. The resulting precipitous decline in oil and gas pricing experienced during March 2020, through the date of this report, if prolonged. or a further deterioration of the market price for oil and natural gas, will negatively impact our cash flows.

We are the operator of the majority of our developed and undeveloped acreage which is nearly all held by production. In the Permian Basin of West Texas and eastern New Mexico the Company maintains an acreage position of approximately 19,680 gross (12,322 net) acres, 97% of which is located in Reagan, Upton, Martin, and Midland counties of Texas where our current horizontal drilling activity is focused. We believe this acreage has significant resource potential in the Spraberry and Wolfcamp intervals for additional horizontal drilling that could support the drilling of as many as 250 additional horizontal wells. In Oklahoma we maintain an acreage position of approximately 56,360 gross (10,580 net) acres. Our Oklahoma horizontal development is focused primarily in Canadian, Kingfisher, Grady, and Garvin counties. We believe approximately 3,460 net acres in these counties hold significant additional resource potential that could support the drilling of as many as 52 new horizontal wells based on an estimate of four to ten wells per section, depending on the reservoir target area. Should we choose to participate with a working interest in future development, our share of these future capital expenditures would be approximately $40 million at an average 10% ownership level.
Future development plans are established based on various factors, including the expectation of available cash flows from operations and availability of funds under our revolving credit facility.

Table of Contents
Gulf Coast Region
Our development, exploration and production activities in the Gulf Coast region are primarily concentrated in southeast Texas. This region is managed from our office in Houston, Texas. Principal producing intervals are in the Wilcox, San Miguel, Olmos, and Yegua formations at depths ranging from 3,000 to 12,500 feet. We had 233 producing wells (143 net) in the Gulf Coast region as of December 31, 2019, of which 125 wells are operated by us. Average net daily production in 2019 was 348 Boe. At December 31, 2019, we had 726 MBoe of proved reserves in the Gulf Coast region, which represented 5.1% of our total proved reserves. We maintain an acreage position of over 12,700 gross (5,120 net) acres in this region, primarily in Dimmit and Polk counties. We operate a field service group in this region from a field office in Carrizo Springs, Texas utilizing four workover rigs, nineteen water transport trucks, two saltwater disposal wells and several trucks and excavating equipment. Services including well service support, site preparation and construction services for drilling and workover operations are provided to third-party operators as well as utilized in our own operated wells and locations. As of September 30, 2020, the Gulf Coast region has no operated wells in the process of being drilled, no waterfloods in the process of being installed and no other related activities of material importance.
Mid-Continent Region
Our Mid-Continent activities are concentrated in central Oklahoma. This region is managed from our office in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. As of December 31, 2019, we had 418 wells (216 net) in the Mid-Continent area, of which 144 wells are operated by us. Principal producing intervals are in the Roberson, Avant, Skinner, Sycamore, Bromide, McLish, Hunton, Mississippian, Oswego, Red Fork, and Chester formations at depths ranging from 1,100 to 10,500 feet. Average net daily production in 2019 was 840 Boe. At December 31, 2019, we had 2,094 MBoe of proved reserves in the Mid-Continent area, or 14.7% of our total proved reserves. We maintain an acreage position of approximately 56,358 gross (10,580 net) acres in this region, primarily in Canadian, Kingfisher, Grant, Major, and Garvin counties. We operate a field service group in this region from a field office in Elmore City, utilizing one workover rig and one saltwater hauling truck. Our Mid-Continent region is actively participating with third-party operators in the horizontal development of lands that include Company owned interest in several counties in the Stack and Scoop plays of Oklahoma where drilling is primarily targeting reservoirs of the Mississippian, and Woodford formations. As of September 30, 2020, in the Mid-Continent region, the Company was is participating in the drilling and/or completion of four wells, with overriding royalty only in eight additional wells, all included as Proved Undeveloped in the 2019 year-end reserve report.
West Texas Region
Our West Texas activities are concentrated in the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico. The Spraberry field was discovered in 1949, encompasses eight counties in West Texas and the Company believes it is the largest oil field in the United States. The field is approximately 150 miles long and 75 miles wide at its widest point. The oil produced is West Texas Intermediate Sweet, and the gas produced is casing-head gas with an average energy content of 1,400 Btu. The oil and gas are produced primarily from five intervals; the Upper and Lower Spraberry, the Wolfcamp, the Strawn, and the Atoka, at depths ranging from 6,700 feet to 11,300 feet. This region is managed from our office in Midland, Texas. As of December 31, 2019, we had 522 wells (257 net) in the West Texas area, of which 298 wells are operated by us. Principal producing intervals are in the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, and San Andres formations at depths ranging from 4,200 to 12,500 feet. Average net daily production in 2019 was 3,703 Boe. At December 31, 2019, we had 11,108 MBoe of proved reserves in the West Texas area, or 78% of our total proved reserves. We maintain an acreage position of approximately 19,910 gross (12,560 net) acres in the Permian Basin in West Texas, primarily in Reagan, Upton, Martin and Midland counties and believe this acreage has significant resource potential for horizontal drilling in the Spraberry, Jo Mill, and Wolfcamp intervals. We operate a field service group in this region utilizing nine workover rigs, four hot oiler trucks, one kill truck and two roustabout trucks. Services including well service support, site preparation and construction services for drilling and workover operations are provided to third-party operators as well as utilized in our own operated wells and locations. At December 31, 2019, the Company had committed to participate in the drilling of ten Proved Undeveloped horizontal drilling locations. Seven of the ten wells were drilled by April 15, 2020. One well was put on production in July of this year and six other wells are expected to be producing by May 2021.

At December 31, 2017 our reserve report included 779 MBoe of proved undeveloped reserves attributable to 22 horizontal wells that were all completed in 2018, therefore, 100% of these reserves were converted to proved developed in the 2018 year-end reserves report.
In 2018, the Company drilled and completed seventeen horizontal wells in West Texas and eleven horizontal wells in Oklahoma. In addition, the Company added reserves through overriding royalty interest in 16 wells, primarily in Oklahoma and Texas. At year-end 2018, thirteen of the seventeen wells completed in 2018 were designated as Shut-In: eight in our West Texas horizontal development program, which were brought on production in February, 2019, and five in our Oklahoma Scoop-Stack development program, which were brought on production in March, 2019.
At December 31, 2018, our reserve report included 43 MBoe of proved undeveloped reserves attributable to eight horizontal wells that had been drilled but had not yet been completed: three of these were completed in 2019, converting 24 Mboe of undeveloped reserves to proved developed, and five remained uncompleted as of December 31, 2019, which account for 18 Mboe of the 43 Mboe. The Company has 9% ownership in one of these five wells and less than 1% in four wells.
In 2019, in West Texas, in addition to the eight wells classified as Shut-in at year-end 2018 that were brought on production in February, we participated in the drilling and completion of three wells on our Kashmir tract: two wells with an average 49% interest, and a third well for 5.3% interest. One of each of these wells was completed in the Wolfcamp “A”, Jo Mill, and Lower Spraberry. All three wells were brought on production in May of 2019.
In our Oklahoma, Scoop-Stack play, in 2019, we participated in the drilling and completion of six wells on our WM Wallace tract for 7.67% interest, and nine wells, included on Slash, Osborn, and Leon tracts, with an average 1.34% interest. In addition, three wells drilled in Oklahoma in 2018, designated as proved undeveloped at year-end 2018, were completed in 2019 converting 24 Mboe of reserves to proved developed. Also in Oklahoma, six wells designated as Shut-in on December 31, 2018, were brought into production in 2019: five located on our Ruthie tract, and one on our Braum tract. In the Gulf Coast region, we added production through the recompletion of three vertical wells in Polk County, Texas: one operated by the Company in which we have 72.5% interest, and two operated by Unit Petroleum in which the Company owns 2.81% working interest and 3.77% net revenue interest.
At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,607 Mboe of undeveloped reserves attributable to 22 wells operated by others that were anticipated to be drilled and completed primarily in 2020: ten of these are located in our West Texas horizontal development program and account for 3,526 Mboe of the total, and 12 wells are located in our Oklahoma Scoop-Stack horizontal program and account for 81 Mboe of the total. Of the 12 locations in Oklahoma, six were drilled and are on production, four have been drilled but not yet completed and two are not yet drilled. Nine of the ten wells in West Texas are located on our 1,300 acre Kashmir tract in Upton County. By April 15, of this year six of these had been drilled and are awaiting completion, which is now expected to occur the end of February or beginning of March 2021. Our average 47.76% share of the cost of these six horizontal wells will be approximately $19.4 million. Drilling of the remaining three wells is expected to occur the end of February or beginning of March 2021.
In the first half of 2020, the Company participated in a horizontal well for 8.36% interest operated by Pioneer Natural Resources completed and brought into production in July 2020. Our total net expenditure for this well will be approximately $630,000. Additional drilling and future development plans will be established based on an expectation of available cash flows from operations and availability of funds under our revolving credit facility.

We employ technologies to establish proved reserves that have been demonstrated to provide consistent results capable of repetition. The technologies and economic data being used in the estimation of our proved reserves include, but are not limited to, electrical logs, radioactivity logs, geologic maps, production data, and well test data. The estimated reserves of wells with sufficient production history are estimated using appropriate decline curves. Estimated reserves of producing wells with limited production history and for undeveloped locations are estimated using performance data from analogous wells in the area. These wells are considered analogous based on production performance from the same formation and with similar completion techniques.
The estimated future net revenue (using current prices and costs as of those dates) and the present value of future net revenue (at a 10% discount for estimated timing of cash flow) for our proved developed and proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves at the end of each of the three years ended December 31, 2019, are summarized as follows (in thousands of dollars):

The PV 10 Value represents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our proved oil and gas reserves before income tax, discounted at 10%. Although this measure is not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we believe that the presentation of the PV10 Value is relevant and useful to investors because it presents the discounted future net cash flow attributable to proved reserves prior to taking into account corporate future income taxes and the current tax structure. We use this measure when assessing the potential return on investment related to oil and gas properties. The PV10 of future income taxes represents the sole reconciling item between this non-GAAP PV10 Value versus the GAAP measure presented in the standardized measure of discounted cash flow. A reconciliation of these values is presented in the last three columns of the table above. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows represents the present value of future cash flows attributable to proved oil and natural gas reserves after income tax, discounted at 10%.
“Proved developed” oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered from existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. “Proved undeveloped” oil and gas reserves are reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Our reserves include amounts attributable to non-controlling interests in the Partnerships. These interests represent less than 10% of our reserves.
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, product prices are determined using the twelve-month average oil and gas index prices, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average for the first day of the month price for each month, adjusted for oilfield or gas gathering hub and wellhead price differentials (e.g. grade, transportation, gravity, sulfur, and basic sediment and water) as appropriate. Also, in accordance with SEC specifications and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, changes in market prices subsequent to December 31 are not considered.
While it may be reasonably anticipated that the prices received for the sale of our production may be higher or lower than the prices used in this evaluation, as described above, and the operating costs relating to such production may also increase or decrease from existing levels, such possible changes in prices and costs were, in accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, omitted from consideration in making this evaluation for the SEC case. Actual volumes produced, prices received and costs incurred may vary significantly from the SEC case.
RECENT ACTIVITIES
Since the start of our West Texas horizontal drilling program in 2015 and through the third quarter of 2020 the Company has participated in 74 horizontal wells in the Permian Basin, seven of which were drilled in the first half of 2020. Through July 2020, the Company has invested approximately $112 MM in our West Texas horizontal drilling program. Of the 74 total horizontal wells participated in, we have an average of 24% working interest. In 2019, 11 wells were brought on production: the Company has 49% interest in eight of these wells, all one-mile in length, located on our CC-33 tract, and an average 48% interest in two horizontals and 5.3% interest in one additional horizontal, that are each two-miles in length, located on the Kashmir tract. The Company invested approximately $31.5 million in these 11 wells brought on production in 2019. Through the second quarter of 2020, the Company participated in seven new horizontal wells, all located in Upton County, Texas. Six of these are operated by Apache Corporation and one is operated by Pioneer Natural Resources. The Pioneer well was completed in late June and came on production in early July 2020. The six Apache operated wells are anticipated to be completed the end of February or beginning of March 2021.
In Upton County, West Texas, we are developing a contiguous 3,260-acre block with our joint venture partner, Apache Corporation. In this block the Company has 2,600 leasehold acres with interest between 14% and 56%, depending on the particular lease and depth being developed. In 2018, in this block, eight wells drilled horizontally in the Wolfcamp “B”, were participated in for 49% interest. This is believed to be full development of the Wolfcamp “B” reservoir for this lease block. Apache will likely now set its sights on development of the Upper Wolfcamp, Jo Mill, and Lower Spraberry reservoirs for this block, following the recent successful testing in 2019 of these reservoirs on our offset 1,300-acre lease block. Given the favorable results achieved by the initial three wells on the offset block, it is expected that as many as 54 additional horizontals will be slated for development on the 3,260-acre block in the near future. The cost of such development would be approximately $370.6 million with the Company’s share being approximately $170.8 million. In addition, there is a fourth target reservoir, the Middle Spraberry, that is also prospective for development. The potential of the Middle Spraberry, on the 3,280-acre block, is for 18 horizontal wells to be drilled, with the Company likely participating for approximately $61.8 million. The actual number of wells that are eventually drilled as well as the cost and the timing of drilling will vary based upon many factors, including commodity market conditions.

In addition to the 3,260 acreage block under development, the Company is also developing an offsetting 1,300-acre block in Upton County, Texas with Apache Corporation as operator. In the second quarter of 2019 three horizontal wells were completed and brought on production from reservoirs above the Middle Wolfcamp: one in the Wolfcamp “A”, one in the Jo Mill, and one in the Lower Spraberry, confirming the economic viability of these reservoirs on our acreage. Prime holds between 5% and 48% working interest in various depths of this acreage, and of the $26.7 million development cost for these three wells, our share was approximately $9.2 million. As a result of the success of these three wells, six horizontals were drilled in the first half of 2020 on this acreage block. We have an average 47.76% share of these wells. In addition to the six development locations in the Wolfcamp “A”, Jo Mill and Lower Sprayberry of our 1,300-acre block, there are four locations in the Middle Spraberry that are likely to be considered for future development at an estimated gross cost of approximately $30.2 million, with the Company’s share being approximately $14.2 million. Also in the first half of 2020, the Company participated in a horizontal well for 8.36% interest operated by Pioneer Natural Resources that was completed and brought into production in July, 2020. Our total net expenditure for this well has been approximately $630,000.
Also in the Permian Basin of West Texas, we are developing a 965-acre block with Concho Resources in Martin County, Texas. In 2016 and 2017, four horizontal wells were drilled and completed and put on production. The Company owns 35% to 38% interest in this joint venture acreage where Concho Resources is the operator. No near-term additional drilling plans have been received from Concho Resources, however, offset operators have been actively drilling and their results are encouraging for the future development of multiple landing zones within this acreage block.
In Central Reagan County, of West Texas, during the third quarter of 2020, the Company has sold deep rights covering approximately 1,950 acres for a purchase price of $10.3 million to-date, with a final total compensation expected to be $10.7 million.
Since the start of our Oklahoma Scoop-Stack horizontal development program, which began in 2013, the Company has participated in 41 horizontal wells for approximately $23.5 million through 2019 with an average of approximately 7% interest. There have been no new wells participated in through the third quarter of 2020. During this same period the Company chose to retain an overriding royalty interest in an additional 69 horizontal wells. In 2019, the Company participated for an average 5.78% interest in 20 horizontal wells in Canadian, Grady, and Kingfisher counties for a net cost of approximately $8.8 million. All 20 wells were completed in 2019, and of these 20 wells, twelve are operated by Encana/Newfield. In addition, the Company is also participating in four wells in Grady County, Oklahoma spud in 2018 that have not yet been completed. During 2019, in Oklahoma, the Company retained an overriding royalty interest in eighteen wells, nine of which were completed in 2019, and nine of which have yet to be completed. Through the third quarter of 2020, the Company has retained an interest in four wells located in Canadian County, Oklahoma, completed in February of this year.
Our horizontal activity in Oklahoma is focused in Canadian, Grady, Kingfisher, Garfield, Major, and Garvin counties where we have approximately 3,401 net acres. We believe this acreage has significant additional resource potential that could support the drilling of as many as 49 new horizontals based on an estimate of six wells per section: three in the Mississippian and three in the Woodford Shale. Should we choose to participate in future development, our share of the capital expenditures would be approximately $34 million at an average 10% ownership level; the Company will otherwise sell its rights for cash, or cash plus a royalty or working interest.
In 2019, in the Gulf Coast region of Texas, the Company participated with Unit Petroleum in the successful recompletion of two wells in the Wilcox Formation of the Jazz field in Polk County, Texas. The Company has a 2.8125% working interest and a 3.768% net revenue interest in these wells and participated for approximately $45,000. Also in 2019, the Company successfully recompleted a shallow straight hole well in the Segno field of Polk County, Texas with a 72.5% working interest.
In early August 2020, the Company closed on the sale of its West Virginia District operated assets. The sale includes 456 producing wells, along with approximately 35,000 leasehold acres, one salt water disposal well, and operating equipment. The Company has retained an overriding royalty interest, up to 12.5%, in any future drilling of these properties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
2020 and 2019 Compared
We reported net income of $6.5 million, or $3.26 per share and $65 thousand or $0.03 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $1.25 per share and $5.2 million, or $2.61 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Current year net income reflects decreases in production combined with commodity price decreases over the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, increases in gains related to the sale of acreage and changes related to the valuation of derivative instruments. The significant components of income and expense are discussed below.
Oil, gas and NGLs sales decreased $11.2 million, or 55.9% from $20.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $41.0 million, or 60.9% from $67.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $26.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Derivatives We do not apply hedge accounting to any of our commodity based derivatives, thus changes in the fair market value of commodity contracts held at the end of a reported period, referred to as mark-to-market adjustments, are recognized as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As oil and natural gas prices remain volatile, mark-to-market accounting treatment creates volatility in our revenues.
Field service income decreased $2.3 million or 47.2% from $4.9 million for the third quarter 2019 to $2.6 million for the third quarter 2020 and $5.1 million, or 35.6% from $14.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease is a combined result of decreased utilization and rates charged to customers as oil and gas prices declined during 2020. Workover rig services, hot oil treatments, saltwater hauling and disposal represent the bulk of our field service operations.
Lease operating expense decreased $4.4 million or 53.6% from $8.2 million for the third quarter 2019 to $3.8 million for the third quarter 2020, and decreased $8.1 million or 33.0% from $24.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease is primarily due to the shut-in of high lifting cost properties during 2020 combined with lower production taxes related to lower commodity prices.
Field service expense decreased $2.0 million or 50.3% from $4.0 million for the third quarter 2019 to $2.0 million for the third quarter 2020 and decreased $4.2 million, or 35.9% from $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Field service expenses primarily consist of salaries and vehicle operating expenses which have decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 over the same periods of 2019 related to decreased utilization of the equipment as oil and gas prices declined during 2020.
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion on discounted liabilities increased $0.1 million, or 1.9% from $9.3 million for the third quarter 2019 to $9.4 million for the third quarter 2020 and decreased $3.3 million, or 9.9% from $27.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $24.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, reflecting the reduced production rates in the nine months of 2020.
General and administrative expense decreased $0.3 million, or 9.9% from $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and increased $0.3 million, or 2.0% from $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This overall increase in 2020 is primarily due to increases in employee wages and benefits during the first quarter offset by staff reductions reflected in the third quarter decrease.

Gain on sale and exchange of assets of $15.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consists of principally of sales of deep rights in undeveloped acreage in West Texas and marginal wells in West Virginia.
Interest expense decreased from $0.9 million for the third quarter 2019 to $0.5 million for the third quarter 2020 and from $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease reflects the decrease in rates and current borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.
Income tax expense or benefit for the September 30, 2020 and 2019 periods varied due to the change in net income or loss for those periods. The tax benefit recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes the benefits related to tax changes under the CARES Act.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from our operations, through our producing oil and gas properties, field services business and sales of acreage.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $17.9 million. Excluding the effects of significant unforeseen expenses or other income, our cash flow from operations fluctuates primarily because of variations in oil and gas production and prices or changes in working capital accounts. Our oil and gas production will vary based on actual well performance but may be curtailed due to factors beyond our control.
Our realized oil and gas prices vary due to world political events, supply and demand of products, product storage levels, and weather patterns. We sell the majority of our production at spot market prices. Accordingly, product price volatility will affect our cash flow from operations. To mitigate price volatility, we sometimes lock in prices for some portion of our production through the use of derivatives.
If our exploratory drilling results in significant new discoveries, we will have to expend additional capital to finance the completion, development, and potential additional opportunities generated by our success. We believe that, because of the additional reserves resulting from the successful wells and our record of reserve growth in recent years, we will be able to access sufficient additional capital through bank financing.
Maintaining a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity are key components of our business strategy. For 2020, we will continue our focus on preserving financial flexibility and ample liquidity as we manage the risks facing our industry. Our 2020 capital budget is reflective of commodity prices and has been established based on an expectation of available cash flows, with any cash flow deficiencies expected to be funded by borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we have done historically to preserve or enhance liquidity we may adjust our capital program throughout the year, divest assets, or enter into strategic joint ventures. We are actively in discussions with financial partners for funding to develop our asset base and, if required, pay down our revolving credit facility should our borrowing base become limited due to the deterioration of commodity prices.
The Company maintains a Credit Agreement with a maturity date of February 15, 2021, providing for a credit facility totaling $300 million, with a borrowing base of $48 million. As of November 25, 2020, the Company has $40.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $8.0 million in availability under this facility. The bank reviews the borrowing base semi-annually and, at their discretion, may decrease or propose an increase to the borrowing base relative to a re-determined estimate of proved oil and gas reserves. Our oil and gas properties are pledged as collateral for the line of credit and we are subject to certain financial and operational covenants defined in the agreement. We are currently in compliance with these covenants and expect to be in compliance over the next twelve months. If we do not comply with these covenants on a continuing basis, the lenders have the right to refuse to advance additional funds under the facility and/or declare all principal and interest immediately due and payable.
Our credit agreement required us to hedge a portion of our production as forecasted for the PDP reserves included in our borrowing base review engineering reports. Accordingly the Company has in place the following swap and put agreements for oil and natural gas.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.
We have experienced significant disruptions to our business and operations. In particular, COVID-19 restrictions have limited access to our corporate offices and required our corporate personnel, including our legal and accounting staff.

Paycheck Protection Program Loans
During May 2020, Prime Operating Company and Eastern Oil Well Services Corporation, subsidiaries of the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $1.28 million and $0.47 million , respectively, under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the CARES Act. The PPP Loans are evidenced by a promissory note in favor of the Lender, which bears interest at the rate of 1.00% per annum. No payments of principal or interest are due under the note until the date on which the amount of loan forgiveness (if any) under the CARES Act, which can be up to 10 months after the end of the related notes covered period (which is defined as 24 weeks after the date of the loan) (the “Deferral Period”). The note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the PPP Loans may be used only for payroll and related costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations that were incurred prior to February 15, 2020 (the “Qualifying Expenses”). Under the terms of the PPP Loans, certain amounts thereunder may be forgiven if they are used for Qualifying Expenses as described in and in compliance with the CARES Act. While the Company intends to use the PPP Loan proceeds exclusively for Qualifying Expenses, it is unclear and uncertain whether the conditions for forgiveness of the PPP Loans will be met under the current guidelines of the CARES Act. Accordingly, we cannot make any assurance that the Company will be eligible for forgiveness of the PPP Loans, in whole or in part. To the extent, if any, that any or all of the PPP loans are not forgiven, beginning one month following expiration of the Deferral Period, and continuing monthly until 24 months from the date of each applicable Note (the “Maturity Date”), the Company is obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest to the Lender with respect to any unforgiven portion of the Note, in such equal amounts required to fully amortize the principal amount outstanding on such Note as of the last day of the applicable Deferral Period by the applicable Maturity Date.
The Company’s activities include development and exploratory drilling. Our strategy is to develop a balanced portfolio of drilling prospects that includes lower risk wells with a high probability of success and higher risk wells with greater economic potential. In 2016, based upon the results of horizontal wells and historical vertical well performance, we decided to reduce the number of vertical wells in our drilling program and focus primarily on horizontal well drilling. We believe horizontal development of our resource base provides superior returns relative to vertical development, due to the ability of horizontals to come in contact with and drain from a greater volume of reservoir rock over more acreage, with less infrastructure, and thus at a lower cost of development per acre.

Since the start of our West Texas horizontal drilling program in 2015 and through the third quarter of 2020 the Company has participated in 74 horizontal wells in the Permian Basin, seven of which were drilled in the first half of 2020. Through July 2020, the Company has invested approximately $112 MM in our West Texas horizontal drilling program. Of the 74 total horizontal wells participated in, we have an average of 24% working interest. In 2019, 11 wells were brought on production: the Company has 49% interest in eight of these wells, all one-mile in length, located on our CC-33 tract, and an average 48% interest in two horizontals and 5.3% interest in one additional horizontal, that are each two-miles in length, located on the Kashmir tract. The Company invested approximately $31.5 million in these 11 wells brought on production in 2019. Through the second quarter of 2020, the Company participated in seven new horizontal wells, all located in Upton County, Texas. Six of these are operated by Apache Corporation and one is operated by Pioneer Natural Resources. The Pioneer well was completed in late June and came on production in early July 2020. The six Apache operated wells are anticipated to be completed the end of February or beginning of March 2021.
In Upton County, West Texas, we are developing a contiguous 3,260-acre block with our joint venture partner, Apache Corporation. In this block the Company has 2,600 leasehold acres with interest between 14% and 56%, depending on the particular lease and depth being developed. In 2018, in this block, eight wells drilled horizontally in the Wolfcamp “B”, were participated in for 49% interest. This is believed to be full development of the Wolfcamp “B” reservoir for this lease block. Apache will likely now set its sights on development of the Upper Wolfcamp, Jo Mill, and Lower Spraberry reservoirs for this block, following the recent successful testing in 2019 of these reservoirs on our offset 1,300-acre lease block. Given the favorable results achieved by the initial three wells on the offset block, it is expected that as many as 54 additional horizontals will be slated for development on the 3,260-acre block in the near future. The cost of such development would be approximately $370.6 million with the Company’s share being approximately $170.8 million. In addition, there is a fourth target reservoir, the Middle Spraberry, that is also prospective for development. The potential of the Middle Spraberry, on the 3,280-acre block, is for 18 horizontal wells to be drilled, with the Company likely participating for approximately $61.8 million. The actual number of wells that are eventually drilled as well as the cost and the timing of drilling will vary based upon many factors, including commodity market conditions.
In addition to the 3,260 acreage block under development, the Company is also developing an offsetting 1,300-acre block in Upton County, Texas with Apache Corporation as operator. In the second quarter of 2019 three horizontal wells were completed and brought on production from reservoirs above the Middle Wolfcamp: one in the Wolfcamp “A”, one in the Jo Mill, and one in the Lower Spraberry, confirming the economic viability of these reservoirs on our acreage. Prime holds between 5% and 48% working interest in various depths of this acreage, and of the $26.7 million development cost for these three wells, our share was approximately $9.2 million. As a result of the success of these three wells, six horizontals were drilled in the first half of 2020 on this acreage block. We have an average 47.76% share of these wells. In addition to the six development locations in the Wolfcamp “A”, Jo Mill and Lower Sprayberry of our 1,300-acre block, there are four locations in the Middle Spraberry that are likely to be considered for future development at an estimated gross cost of approximately $30.2 million, with the Company’s share being approximately $14.2 million. Also in the first half of 2020, the Company participated in a horizontal well for 8.36% interest operated by Pioneer Natural Resources that was completed and brought into production in July, 2020. Our total net expenditure for this well has been approximately $630,000.
Also in the Permian Basin of West Texas, we are developing a 965-acre block with Concho Resources in Martin County, Texas. In 2016 and 2017, four horizontal wells were drilled and completed and put on production. The Company owns 35% to 38% interest in this joint venture acreage where Concho Resources is the operator. No near-term additional drilling plans have been received from Concho Resources, however, offset operators have been actively drilling and their results are encouraging for the future development of multiple landing zones within this acreage block.
In Central Reagan County, of West Texas, during the third quarter of 2020, the Company has sold deep rights covering approximately 1,950 acres for a purchase price of $10.3 million to-date, with a final total compensation expected to be $10.7 million.
Since the start of our Oklahoma Scoop-Stack horizontal development program, which began in 2013, the Company has participated in 41 horizontal wells for approximately $23.5 million through 2019 with an average of approximately 7% interest. There have been no new wells participated in through the third quarter of 2020. During this same period the Company chose to retain an overriding royalty interest in an additional 69 horizontal wells. In 2019, the Company participated for an average 5.78% interest in 20 horizontal wells in Canadian, Grady, and Kingfisher counties for a net cost of approximately $8.8 million. All 20 wells were completed in 2019, and of these 20 wells, twelve are operated by Encana/Newfield. In addition, the Company is also participating in four wells in Grady County, Oklahoma spud in 2018 that have not yet been completed. During 2019, in Oklahoma, the Company retained an overriding royalty interest in eighteen wells, nine of which were completed in 2019, and nine of which have yet to be completed. Through the third quarter of 2020, the Company has retained an interest in four wells located in Canadian County, Oklahoma, completed in February of this year.
Our horizontal activity in Oklahoma is focused in Canadian, Grady, Kingfisher, Garfield, Major, and Garvin counties where we have approximately 3,401 net acres. We believe this acreage has significant additional resource potential that could support the drilling of as many as 49 new horizontals based on an estimate of six wells per section: three in the Mississippian and three in the Woodford Shale. Should we choose to participate in future development, our share of the capital expenditures would be approximately $34 million at an average 10% ownership level; the Company will otherwise sell its rights for cash, or cash plus a royalty or working interest.
In early August 2020, the Company closed on the sale of its West Virginia District operated assets. The sale includes 456 producing wells, along with approximately 35,000 leasehold acres, one salt water disposal well, and operating equipment. The Company has retained an overriding royalty interest, up to 12.5%, in any future drilling of these properties.
The majority of our capital spending is discretionary, and the ultimate level of expenditures will be dependent on our assessment of the oil and gas business environment, the number and quality of oil and gas prospects available, the market for oilfield services, and oil and gas business opportunities in general.
The Company has in place both a stock repurchase program and a limited partnership interest repurchase program. Spending under these programs in 2020 and 2019 was $0.71 million and $5.9 million, respectively. In the current price environment, the Company will suspend their stock repurchase program.

In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
