Item1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Restructuring Support Agreement
Amendment

On April20, 2017, Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. (the
Company) and its subsidiaries (the Company and its subsidiaries,
collectively, Nuverra) entered into a First Amendment to
Restructuring Support Agreement (the RSA Amendment) with the
holders of over 80% (the Supporting Noteholders) of the Companys
outstanding 12.5%/10.0% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021
(the 2021 Notes), which amends the Restructuring Support
Agreement, dated as of April9, 2017, by and among Nuverra and the
Supporting Noteholders (the RSA). The RSA Amendment amends the
RSA by extending the date by which Nuverra is required to
commence a solicitation of votes for its prepackaged plan of
reorganization under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code (the Plan) from April20, 2017 to April28, 2017 and extending
the date Nuverra is required to commence the chapter 11 cases
from April24, 2017 to May1, 2017.

The foregoing description of the RSA Amendment is only a summary
and does not purport to be a complete description of the terms
and conditions under the RSA Amendment, and such description is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
RSA Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into

Amendment) by and among the lenders named therein (the Term Loan
Lenders), Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (Wilmington), as
administrative agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
(Wells Fargo), as collateral agent, the Company, and the
guarantors named therein, which further amends the Term Loan
Credit Agreement, dated April15, 2016, by and among Wilmington,
the Term Loan Lenders, and the Company (the Term Loan Agreement),
by increasing the Term Loan Lenders commitment and the principal
amount borrowed by the Company under the Term Loan Agreement from
$69,320,000 to $75,370,000 (the Ninth Amendment Additional Term
Commitment). The Ninth Amendment Additional Term Commitment is in

Loans (as defined in the Fifth Amendment to Term Loan Credit
Agreement).

to the Ninth Term Loan Agreement Amendment, the Company is
required to use a portion of the net cash proceeds of the Ninth
Amendment Additional Term Commitment of $6.05million to pay the
fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Ninth
Term Loan Agreement Amendment. The remaining net cash proceeds,
subject to satisfaction of certain release conditions, will be
available for general operating, working capital and other
general corporate purposes. The Company intends to use the
additional liquidity provided by the Ninth Amendment Additional
Term Commitment to fund its business operations until the filing
of the Plan.

As a condition to the effectiveness of the Ninth Term Loan
Agreement Amendment, the Company was required to enter into a
letter agreement with the agent under the Companys asset-based
lending facility (the ABL Facility) providing, among other
things, that the agent under the ABL Facility would not exercise
any remedies with respect to the Ninth Amendment Additional Term
Commitment deposited in the Companys Master Account (as defined
in the ABL Facility), subject to the terms of such letter
agreement.

The Ninth Term Loan Agreement Amendment requires the Company,
among other things, to (i)comply with the terms and conditions of
the RSA; and (ii)within 5 days of the Ninth Amendment Effective
Date, cause mortgage title policies to be issued for all real
property collateral under the Companys Term Loan Agreement and to
pay all premiums for such title policies.

Amendment is only a summary and does not purport to be a complete
description of the terms and conditions under the Ninth Term Loan
Agreement Amendment, and such description is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the Ninth Term Loan
Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to
this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference
into this Item 1.01.

Term Commitment

Agreement Amendment, the Company and Wells Fargo entered into a
letter agreement regarding the Ninth Amendment Additional Term
Commitment (the Ninth Amendment Letter Agreement). to the Ninth
Amendment Letter Agreement, Wells Fargo agreed to not exercise
any remedies with respect to the cash proceeds received from the
Ninth Amendment Additional Term Commitment that are deposited in
the Companys Master Account, subject to the terms of such Ninth
Amendment Letter Agreement. In addition, the Ninth Amendment
Letter Agreement provides that in the event Wells Fargo or the
lenders under the ABL Facility foreclose or otherwise obtain
direct control over the Ninth Amendment Additional Term
Commitment, such Ninth Amendment Additional Term Commitment shall
be deemed to be held in trust by Wells Fargo or the lenders under
the ABL Facility for the benefit of the Term Loan Lenders.

The foregoing description of the Ninth Amendment Letter Agreement
is only a summary and does not purport to be a complete
description of the terms and conditions under the Ninth Amendment
Letter Agreement, and such description is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the Ninth Amendment
Letter Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to
this Current Report on Form8-K and is incorporated by reference
into this Item 1.01.

Amendment), dated April24, 2017, by and among Wells Fargo, as
pari passu collateral agent, Wells Fargo, as revolving credit
agreement agent under the ABL Facility, and Wilmington, as
administrative agent under the Term Loan Agreement, which further
amends the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of April15, 2016,
between Wells Fargo, as pari passu collateral agent, Wells Fargo,
