          On January 11, 2008, Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) entered into the Ninth Amendment to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment (i) restates certain defined terms to reflect the fact that the Second Lien Facility did not close by December 31, 2007 and (ii) revises certain provisions and defined terms to reflect the fact that the borrowing under the Second Lien Facility will be accomplished without the use of notes. All other material terms remain the same.
          The foregoing description of the terms of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety to the Amendment, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Second Lien Term Loan Agreement
          On January 16, 2008, the Company entered into the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement (the “Second Lien Facility”). The Second Lien Facility (i) contains a borrowing capacity of $75,000,000, taken in a single draw by the Company at closing, (ii) matures on December 31, 2010 and (iii) contains material financial covenants, including (a) an asset coverage ratio (defined as proved reserves to total debt) of not less than 1.5 to 1.0, (b) a total debt to EBITDAX ratio of not more than 3.0 to 1.0 and (c) an EBITDAX to interest expense ratio of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.
          The foregoing description of the terms of the Second Lien Facility is qualified in its entirety to the Second Lien Facility, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
