On October 9, 2009, we received notice from our bank group that the borrowing
base under our bank credit facility will remain at $425 million. The borrowing
base under the credit facility is redetermined periodically based on the bank
group's evaluation of the estimated proved oil and gas reserves of Stone and its
direct and material indirect subsidiaries. At September 30, 2009, we had
$250 million in borrowings outstanding under our bank credit facility and
$69 million in outstanding letters of credit, leaving $106 million of borrowings
available under our bank credit facility.
