ants could result in a default under the RBL or future credit facilities. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under such RBL or future debt facilities, including accrued interest or other obligations, to be immediately due and payable. If amounts outstanding under such RBL or future debt facilities were to be accelerated, our assets might not be sufficient to repay in full that indebtedness and our other indebtedness.

A prolonged period of weak, or a significant decrease in, industry activity and overall markets may make it difficult to comply with our covenants and the other restrictions in the agreements governing our debt and current global and market conditions have increased the potential for that difficulty.

As of the date of this Report, the RBL has a balance of $0. Amounts, if any, that we borrow under the RBL, are due on September 11, 2028.

The amounts borrowed pursuant to the terms of the RBL are secured by substantially all of the present and after-acquired assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Additionally, certain of our subsidiaries have guaranteed the amounts due, and obligations under, the RBL. 

As a result of the above, our creditors, in the event of the occurrence of a default under the RBL, may enforce their security interests over our assets and/or our subsidiaries which secure such obligations, may take control of our assets and operations, force us to seek bankruptcy protection, or force us to curtail or abandon our current business plans and operations. If that were to happen, any investment in the Company (including, but not limited to any investment in our common stock) could become worthless.

Continued increases in interest rates will cause our debt service obligations to increase and may have an adverse effect on our operations.

The amounts borrowed under the RBL bear interest at either the SOFR Rate or the ABR Rate. Interest rates have recently been subject to increasing volatility and any increase in the interest rates associated with our floating-rate debt would increase our debt service costs and affect our results of operations. In addition, a future increase in interest rates could adversely affect our future ability to obtain financing or materially increase the cost of any additional financing.

Changes in interest rates could also have a material adverse impact on our earnings and cash flows. Because our future notes payable are expected to have variable interest rates, our business results
