The foregoing description and the description contained in the

by reference to the full text of the Service Provider MSAs,
which are filed as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and
10.7 to this Current Report on Form8-K and are incorporated

Item2.01. Completion of Acquisition or
Disposition of Assets.

On December20, 2016, the Partnership entered into a
Contribution, Conveyance, Assignment and Assumption Agreement
(the Contribution Agreement) with the General Partner, Kimbell
Intermediate GP, LLC, Kimbell Intermediate Holdings, LLC,
Holdings, and the other parties named therein. Concurrently
with the closing of the Offering on February8, 2017, the
following transactions, among others, occurred to the

The foregoing description and the description contained in the
Prospectus are not complete and are qualified in their entirety
by reference to the full text of the Contribution Agreement,
which is filed as Exhibit2.1 to this Current Report on Form8-K
and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item2.03. Creation of a Direct
Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On January11, 2017, the Partnership entered into a new $50.0
million secured revolving credit facility (the Credit
Facility), with the lenders party thereto and Frost Bank, as
administrative agent and sole arranger, which became effective
as of February8, 2017. The Credit Facility will be available
for general partnership purposes, including working capital and
acquisitions. The Credit Facility will mature on February8,
2022.

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the
assets of the Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Availability under the Credit Facility equals the lesser of the
aggregate maximum commitments of the lenders and the borrowing
base. The borrowing base is determined based on the value of
the oil and natural gas properties of the Partnership and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. The oil and gas properties of the
Partnerships non-wholly owned subsidiaries are not subject to a
lien and will not be included in borrowing base valuations. The
Credit Facility permits aggregate commitments under the
facility to be increased to $100.0 million, subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions and the procurement of
additional commitments from new or existing lenders.

At the Partnerships election, interest on borrowings under the
Credit Facility is determined by reference to either the London
Interbank Offered Rate plus an applicable margin between 2.25%
and 3.25% per annum (depending on the then-current level of
borrowings under the Credit Facility) or the alternate base
rate plus an applicable margin between 1.25% and 2.25% per
annum (depending on the then-current level of borrowings under
the Credit Facility). The unused portion of the Credit Facility
is subject to a commitment fee of 0.5%.

The Credit Facility contains various affirmative, negative and
financial maintenance covenants which limit the Partnership and
its wholly owned subsidiaries ability to, among other things,
incur or guarantee additional debt, make distributions on, or
redeem or repurchase, Common Units, make certain investments
and acquisitions, incur certain liens or permit them to exist,
enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, merge
or consolidate with another company and transfer, sell or
otherwise dispose of assets. The Credit Facility also contains
covenants requiring the Partnership to maintain the following
financial ratios or to reduce its indebtedness if it is unable
to comply with such ratios: (i)a Debt to EBITDAX Ratio (as
defined in the Credit Facility) of not more than 4.0 to 1.0;
and (ii)a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of not
less than 1.0 to 1.0. The Credit Facility also contains
customary events of default, including non-payment, breach of
covenants, materially incorrect representations, cross-default,
bankruptcy and change of control.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit
Facility, which is filed as Exhibit10.8 to this Current Report
on Form8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities.

The description in Item 2.01 of the issuances by the
Partnership of Common Units to the Contributing Parties on
February8, 2017 in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement is
incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing transactions
were undertaken in reliance upon the exemption from the
registration requirements inSection4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act. The Partnership believes that exemptions other than the
foregoing exemption may exist for these transactions.

Item5.03. Amendments to Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year.
