Price, by (b) the five-trading day daily volume weighted average
sales price of a common unit of the Partnership on the New York

day immediately prior to the Effective Date. Based on this formula,

Partnership will enter into a registration rights agreement with
the Sellers. Such agreement will provide that the Partnership will,

Commission a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 covering the
resale of the Issued Units on a delayed or continuous basis. The
Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties,
covenants and indemnification obligations of both the Partnership
and the Sellers.

The Permian Basin Sand Acquisition is expected to close in March
2017 and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain
closing conditions, including but not limited to, the completion by
the Partnership of a public offering of common units from its shelf
registration statement producing net proceeds sufficient to pay at
least the cash portion of the Purchase Price. If the Partnership
does not satisfy this condition, then, provided that the other
conditions to the Partnerships obligations to consummate the
Permian Basin Sand Acquisition have been satisfied or waived, the
Partnership may be required to pay the Sellers a termination fee of
$10 million. The Purchase Agreement includes limited termination
rights of each of the Partnership and the Sellers. There can be no
assurance that all of the conditions to closing the Permian Basin
Sand Acquisition will be satisfied or that the Permian Basin Sand
Acquisition will not be terminated.

summary, does not purport to be complete, and is subject to, and
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement. A
