Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Interest Purchase Agreement
On December 16, 2015, New Source Energy Partners L.P., a Delaware limited (the “Partnership”), and its subsidiary MidCentral Energy Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“MCLP”), entered into an interest purchase agreement (the “Interest Purchase Agreement”) with Erick’s Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), J. Mark Snodgrass, an individual residing in Kingfisher, Oklahoma (“Mr. Snodgrass”), Brian N. Austin, an individual residing in Kingfisher, Oklahoma (“Mr. Austin”), Erick Flowback Services LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Erick”), and Rod’s Production Services, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Rod’s”), pursuant to which MCLP sold all of the outstanding membership interests in Erick and all of the outstanding membership interests in Rod's to Buyer (the “Transaction”).
Erick and Rod’s specialize in providing services to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies that increase the safety and efficiencies in pressure-related processes during the completion phase of a well, with a specific focus on well testing and flowback services. Erick and Rod’s operate primarily in Oklahoma, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
The total purchase price for the transaction was approximately $44.9 million, consisting of cash consideration of $5.0 million, a promissory note from Buyer in favor of MCLP in the amount of $8.0 million, and the assumption and elimination of $31.9 million of certain liabilities of MCLP and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The liabilities assumed or eliminated include $8.5 million of bank debt of Erick and Rod’s, $21.9 million of contingent consideration (based on the value of such contingent consideration as of September 30, 2015 on the Partnership’s balance sheet) due to the former owners of Erick and Rod’s in connection with the Partnership’s acquisition of Erick and Rod’s on June 26, 2014 (the “Acquisition”), and $1.5 million of liabilities related to certain legal proceedings of Erick and Rod’s. The Interest Purchase Agreement also contains representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions that are typical for transactions of this nature.
The Interest Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and is incorporated herein by reference to this Item 1.01. The foregoing description of the Interest Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Interest Purchase Agreement.

Promissory Note
Pursuant to the Interest Purchase Agreement, Buyer executed a promissory note, dated as of December 16, 2015, in favor of MCLP in the amount of $8.0 million (the “Note”) as part of the purchase price of the Transaction, pursuant to which Buyer shall pay biannual principal and interest payments beginning on June 30, 2017 in addition to a one-time payment of accrued and unpaid interest on December 15, 2016. The unpaid principal amount outstanding shall bear interest from the date of the Note at the rate of 5.00% per annum. Under the Note, Buyer is required to pay in full all of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on December 31, 2020. The Note contains covenants that are typical for transactions of this nature.

If an event of default occurs and with respect to the events described in clause (i) shall fail to be cured within 5 days after written notice to Buyer of such default, MCLP, at its option, may declare the outstanding balance of the Note and all other indebtedness and obligations of Buyer owing to MCLP to be immediately due and payable.
The Note is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference to this Item 1.01. The foregoing description of the Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note.

In connection with the Transaction, MCLP and Energy Management Resource, LLC (“EMR”) entered into a transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) with Erick and Rod’s, pursuant to which EMR will provide certain services to Erick and Rod’s after the closing of the transaction for the rates and on the terms and conditions set forth therein.

and to carry on its business as the same is being conducted and to effect the transactions contemplated herein. Nothing has occurred or failed to occur from June 26, 2014 through the Effective Date that would cause either of the Acquired Companies to cease to be a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, or to lack the requisite organizational power and authority to own, lease, and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, and each Acquired Company is duly qualified and in good standing to do business as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the ownership, leasing, or operating of its properties makes such qualification necessary, other than any failure to be so qualified in any such foreign jurisdiction as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 6.1(a) sets forth a true and complete list of each of the jurisdictions of foreign qualification of each of the Acquired Companies.
(b)        Authorization. Seller has all requisite power, capacity and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by each party hereto other than Seller, this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.
(c)        Organizational Documents. Neither of the Acquired Companies is in violation of any of the provisions of its organizational documents.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article Eight, Seller and New Source hereby agree, severally and not jointly, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies after the Closing) and their respective directors, stockholders, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, consultants, attorneys, representatives, successors, transferees and assigns (collectively, “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against all Claims and all Damages asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by any of the Buyer Indemnitees, directly or indirectly, by reason of, arising out of or resulting from (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or New Source contained in this Agreement or (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller or New Source contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement.
8.4        Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article Eight, Buyer and the Acquired Companies hereby agree, severally and not jointly, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and New Source and their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries and their respective directors, stockholders, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, consultants, attorneys, representatives, successors, transferees and assigns (collectively, “Seller Indemnitees”), from and against all Claims and all Damages asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by any of the Seller Indemnitees, directly or indirectly, by reason of, arising out of or resulting from (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer, Mr. Snodgrass, or Mr. Austin contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement.
8.5        Procedure. Indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties for any breach of this Agreement except (i) with respect to claims based on actual fraud and breach of a covenant or agreement to be performed after the Closing (including pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2) and (ii) that Buyer may, in lieu of receiving any payment otherwise due under this Agreement, exercise its right of setoff provided in Section 8.8 and the Purchase Note. Any indemnified party shall give the indemnitor prompt notice of any claim hereunder; provided, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the right to indemnification hereunder unless the indemnitor was materially prejudiced by such failure. All claims shall be asserted by a party seeking indemnification within twelve (12) months of the date of this Agreement except (i) in the case of a claim for taxes, which claim may be asserted not later than the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations barring the collection of such tax by the appropriate taxing authority, (ii) in the case of a claim for indemnification arising out of or relating to any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Sections 6.1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (k), Sections 6.2(a), (b), (c) or (e) or Sections 6.3(a), (b), (c), (e) or (f), in which case claims shall survive indefinitely, or (iii) in the case of a claim for indemnification arising out of or related to any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 6.1(l), which claim, in any such case, must be first asserted on or before thirty (30) calendar days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The indemnitor shall have the right to defend at its own expense any claim for which the indemnitor is liable hereunder, but no settlement or compromise of such claim may be effected which materially affects the indemnified party without its consent thereto, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnified party shall

14


cooperate with the indemnitor in the defense of any such claims and may participate therein with its own counsel at its own expense.
8.6        Defense of Third Party Claims. The obligations and liabilities of any party to indemnify any person or entity under this Article Eight with respect to claims or damages relating to or arising from third parties (each a “Third Party Claim”), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions
(a)The person or persons or entity or entities making a claim for indemnification hereunder (whether one or more persons or entities, the “Indemnified Party”) will give the party or parties against whom indemnification is sought (whether one or more, the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice of any such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party may, at its option, undertake the defense thereof by representatives chosen by it and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) calendar days of receiving notice of such Third Party Claim. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s duty or obligations under this Article Eight, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense (except that the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for the fees and expenses of the separate co-counsel to the extent the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the counsel the Indemnifying Party has selected has a conflict of interest). The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its representatives all records and other materials required by the Indemnifying Party or its representatives and in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified Party, for the use of the Indemnifying Party and its representatives in defending any such Third Party Claim, and shall in other respects reasonably cooperate in such defense.
(b)If the Indemnifying Party, within twenty (20) calendar days after notice of any such Third Party Claim (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), fails to defend such Third Party Claim actively and in good faith, then the Indemnified Party will (after giving written notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense (at the Indemnifying Party’s expense), compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect thereto, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter have no right to challenge the Indemnified Party’s defense, compromise or settlement thereof.
(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Article Eight to the contrary (i) if it is reasonably likely, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable opinion, that a Third Party Claim may adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages or other money payments, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which (A) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (B) contains any sanction or restriction upon the conduct of any business by any Indemnified Party or its Affiliates.
(d)The party controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the other parties copies of all correspondence, pleadings, motions, briefs, appeals or other written statements relating to or submitted in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim, and timely notices of, and the right to participate in (as an observer only) any hearing or other court proceeding relating to the Third Party Claim.
(e)Within ten (10) Business Days following final resolution of an Assumed Claim with the applicable third party to such Assumed Claim (whether through compromise, settlement, the entry of a judgment with respect thereto or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.6, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of damages incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Assumed Claim. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Assumed Claim” is (i) a Third Party Claim the defense of which is undertaken by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.6 or (ii) a Third Party Claim the defense of which is undertaken by the Indemnified Party and the resolution of which (whether through compromise, settlement, the entry of a judgment with respect thereto or otherwise) has been consented to in writing by the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or for which such consent by the Indemnifying Party is not required in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6(b).

15


8.7    Anti-Sandbagging. Neither Seller nor New Source shall be liable under this Article Eight for any Claims or Damages resulting from or arising out of or relating to any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller or New Source, as applicable, contained in this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection herewith, if Buyer had actual knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Effective Date; provided, that if Buyer notifies Seller in writing of such inaccuracy or breach within a reasonable period of time prior to the Effective Date, then this Section 8.7 shall not apply to such inaccuracy or breach.
8.8    Setoff Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a claim for indemnification against Seller or New Source (a “Claim”) has been finally settled by agreement of the applicable Parties or determined by arbitration pursuant to this Agreement (a “Determination”), Buyer shall be entitled, but not obligated, to offset against the principal amount of the Purchase Note, the amount due to Buyer with respect to such Determination (the “Claim Amount”) by providing written notice to Seller of its intent to offset (“Notice”). Upon such Notice, (a) the principal amount of the Purchase Note shall be reduced, as of the date on which Notice was provided, by the Claim Amount and (b) the amount of outstanding indebtedness under the Purchase Note (including accrued interest) shall be recalculated to reflect such adjustment.

PROMISSORY NOTE

$8,000,000    Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
    December 15, 2015
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, ERICK’S HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Maker”), unconditionally promises to pay to the order of MIDCENTRAL ENERGY PARTNERS L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Payee”), at 914 N. Broadway Avenue, Suite 230, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73101, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by the holder of this Promissory Note (this “Note”), the principal sum of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000), together with interest thereon at the rate herein specified. The outstanding balance of this Note at any time shall be the original principal amount of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, less the amount of payments or prepayments of principal made on this Note by Maker in accordance with the terms hereof.
The unpaid principal amount outstanding from time to time under this Note shall bear interest from the effective date hereof at 5.00% per annum. Interest for each full calendar month during the term of this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each and interest for a partial calendar month shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day and excluding the last day).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, this Note is made pursuant to the Interest Purchase Agreement between Maker and Payee, among other persons, dated of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”). Subject and pursuant to the rights of Maker under Section 8.8 of the Purchase Agreement to set-off and apply amounts against any and all of Maker's obligations, now or hereafter existing, under this Note, (i) on December 15, 2016, Maker shall pay to Payee the accrued and unpaid interest on this Note from the date of this Note through December 15, 2016 and (ii) commencing on June 30, 2017, and on each December 31 and June 30 thereafter (each, a “Payment Date”), Maker shall pay to Payee biannual principal payments of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. On December 31, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), Maker shall pay in full all of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under this Note. To the extent any payment due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a day upon which the banks in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma are otherwise closed, Maker shall make such payment on the next business day upon which the banks in such location are open. Maker reserves the right to prepay all or any portion of this Note at any time without premium or penalty. All payments hereunder shall be applied first to charges of collection incurred by Payee or any other holder hereof, next to the interest accrued and unpaid and finally to the reduction of principal.
Payee, at its option, may declare the outstanding balance of this Note and all other indebtedness and obligations of Maker owing to Payee to be immediately due and payable if any of the following events of default shall occur and with respect to the events described in clause (i) shall fail to be cured within 5 days after written notice to Maker of such default, which shall constitute a “Default”: (i) failure to timely pay any amount when due hereunder; (ii) Maker, Erick (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or Rod’s (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) makes a general




assignment of all or substantially all of their respective assets for the benefit of creditors; (iii) Maker, Erick or Rod’s fails to observe or perform or comply with any covenant, condition, term, provision or agreement contained in this Note or the Purchase Agreement; (iv) Erick or Rod’s fails to observe or perform or comply with any covenant, condition, term, provision or agreement contained in that certain Transition Services Agreement between Erick, Rod’s and Payee, among other persons, dated of even date herewith, and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice by Payee to any of Maker, Erick or Rod’s; (v) this Note or any document or agreement delivered in connection herewith ceases to be in full force and effect and valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms against Maker or any other person or entity party thereto; (vi) Maker, Erick or Rod’s shall authorize or file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or apply for or consent to the application of any bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment of debt, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation or other similar law of any jurisdiction and said proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days of filing; (vii) a Change of Control (as defined below) of any of Maker, Erick or Rod’s; (viii) Maker pledges or otherwise encumbers any equity interest in either Erick or Rod's (other than under the Bank 7 Indebtedness (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)); or (ix) there occurs an Event of Default (as defined in the Bank 7 Indebtedness) under the Bank 7 Indebtedness and, unless such Event of Default results from nonpayment, such Event of Default is not cured within 20 days of written notice by Bank 7 to any of Maker, Erick or Rod's. As used herein, Change of Control shall mean any (i) sale or transfer of ownership interests which have a majority voting interest in, or otherwise have the power and authority, either directly or indirectly, to control, manage or direct the affairs of, a company, (ii) merger or consolidation with or into any other entity, or any other reorganization in which the holders of the outstanding ownership interests of a company immediately prior to such transaction do not, immediately after such transaction, retain a majority of the voting power of, or otherwise have the power and authority, either directly or indirectly, to control, manage or direct the affairs of, the surviving entity, (iii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Maker, or (iv) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Erick and Rod's. If this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or to defend or enforce any of the holder’s rights hereunder, Maker will pay to the holder hereof its reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with all court costs and other expenses paid by such holder. While any Default exists with respect to amounts due hereunder, all outstanding amounts of principal and accrued unpaid interest shall bear interest at the rate equal to the lesser of (a) 5.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise provided hereunder and (b) the maximum rate of nonusurious interest (herein referred to as the “Maximum Legal Rate of Interest”), if any, that Payee may from time to time charge Maker and in regard to which Maker would be prevented successfully from raising the claim or defense of usury under applicable law (said law permitting and/or establishing such Maximum Legal Rate of Interest being hereinafter referred to as the “Interest Law”), accrued from the occurrence of such Default to the date such Default is cured to the satisfaction of the holder hereof. All past due sums will be paid at the time of and as a condition precedent to curing any Default hereunder.
During the term of this Note, if (i) Maker or any of its affiliates, including, directly or indirectly any of their respective subsidiaries and including Erick and Rod’s, or parent companies (Maker and all such entities, the “Maker Parties”) obtains an equity investment, or (ii) any of the Maker Parties issues, sells, transfers, pledges (other than pledges by Maker to Bank 7 of equity interests in Erick or Rod’s under the Bank 7 Indebtedness), encumbers or otherwise permits to become outstanding, or authorizes the creation of, any equity securities or any securities convertible,

-2-


exchangeable or exercisable into, directly or indirectly, any equity securities, in any of the Maker Parties, in connection with financing by any unaffiliated third party (excluding, for this purpose, J. Mark Snodgrass, Brian N. Austin, and any family member or entity wholly owned by either or both of them) (in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), each such case an “Equity Investment”), then, to the extent the proceeds of any and all such Equity Investments, cumulative and in the aggregate, whether related or unrelated, less reasonable costs and expenses actually paid by the applicable Maker Parties to obtain such Equity Investments, exceeds Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (such aggregate amount, the “Equity Cap”), then an amount equal to the amount by which such proceeds exceed the Equity Cap (up to the amount of outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under this Note) shall become immediately due and payable to Payee or the holder of this Note and the proceeds that exceed the Equity Cap shall be applied against the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under this Note.
During the term of this Note, Maker shall not permit the Bank 7 Indebtedness to exceed Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000). Further, on each Payment Date, Maker will provide to Payee a certificate from a responsible officer of Maker certifying that there exists no default in connection with the Bank 7 Indebtedness.
The conditions of this Note that may be waived may be waived only by written instrument duly executed by the party for which the condition(s) is intended to benefit. No waiver of any payment or other right under this Note or any related agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other payment or right. The failure of Payee or any subsequent holder hereof to exercise any of the remedies or options set forth in this Note, upon the occurrence of one or more events of default, shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other remedy at any subsequent time in respect to the same or any other event of default.  The acceptance of the Payee hereof of any payment which is less than the total of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of the foregoing remedies or options at that time or any subsequent time, or nullify any prior exercise of any such remedy or option, without the express written consent of the Payee hereof, except as and to the extent otherwise provided by law. This Note shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Payee or other holder and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Maker. This Note and the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned by Maker without the prior written consent of Payee.
This Note may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument duly executed by Maker and Payee.
Maker and all other persons who may become liable for all or any part of this obligation severally waive presentment for payment, protest and notice of nonpayment.  Said parties consent to any extension of time (whether one or more) of payment hereof, any renewal (whether one or more) hereof, and any release of any party liable for payment of this obligation.  Any such extension, renewal or release may be made without notice to such party and without discharging said party’s liability hereunder. 
Maker and Payee intend and believe that each provision in this Note comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions.  However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Note are found by a court of law

-3-


to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Note to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Note shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Maker and Payee under the remainder of this Note shall continue in full force and effect.
All notices, requests and demands required under this Note will be sent by facsimile, served personally or by registered or certified mail to the respective addresses of Maker and Payee set forth in the Purchase Agreement or at such other address as given to the other party in writing; if sent by facsimile or served personally, such notices, requests and demands shall be deemed given when actually delivered to the other party and if sent by registered or certified mail, they shall be deemed given three business days after the date on which they are deposited in the United States mail.
It is the intention of Maker and Payee to conform strictly to the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction. Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Note, or in any of the documents securing payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, the aggregate of all interest and any other charges or consideration constituting interest under applicable Interest Law that is taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under this Note or under any of the other aforesaid agreements or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction shall under no circumstances exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of Interest allowed by the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction. If any excess of interest in such respect is provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided for, in this Note, then in such event: (a) neither Maker nor any of Maker’s successors or assigns or any other party liable for the payment hereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction, (b) any excess shall be deemed a mistake and canceled automatically and, if therefore paid, shall be credited on this Note by the holder hereof (or if this Note shall have been paid in full, refunded to Maker), and (c) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically subject to reduction to the Maximum Legal Rate of Interest allowed under such Interest Law as now or hereafter construed by courts of appropriate jurisdiction.
This Note is made, executed and delivered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and is to be construed according to the laws of the State of Oklahoma.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW SOURCE ENERGY PARTNERS ANNOUNCES SALE OF ERICK FLOWBACK SERVICES LLC AND ROD’S PRODUCTION SERVICES, L.L.C.
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, December 16, 2015 — New Source Energy Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (OTC:NSLP) (the “Partnership” or “New Source”), today announced that its subsidiary, MidCentral Energy Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“MCLP”), has sold all of the outstanding membership interests in Erick Flowback Services, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (“EFS”), and all of the outstanding membership interests in Rod's Production Services, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“RPS”), to Erick’s Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Erick’s Holdings”). The transaction closed on December 16, 2015. EFS and RPS specialize in providing services to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies that increase the safety and efficiencies in pressure-related processes during the completion phase of a well, with a specific focus on well testing and flowback services. EFS and RPS operate primarily in Oklahoma, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
The total purchase price for the transaction was approximately $44.9 million, consisting of cash consideration of $5.0 million, a promissory note from Erick’s Holdings in favor of MCLP in the amount of $8.0 million, and the assumption and elimination of $31.9 million of certain liabilities of MCLP and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
“Today, the Partnership announced the sale of EFS and RPS back to their founders,” said Kristian Kos, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Structuring the transaction in this manner allows the Partnership to realize excess value through the elimination of significant liabilities. Applying the cash proceeds to other debt outstanding at the OFS level significantly de-levers the MCLP balance sheet, which we believe is necessary in the current commodity price environment. We view this transaction as a necessary positive step toward restructuring the Partnership, as we navigate difficult times.”

Introduction

The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial information reflects the historical financial statements of New Source Energy Partners L.P.

New Source Energy Partners L.P.
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 is based on the unaudited September 30, 2015 balance sheet of New Source Energy Partners, L.P. ("NSLP" or "Partnership") and gives effect to the sale of Erick Flowback Services LLC ("EFS") and Rod's Production Services, L.L.C. ("RPS") and the use of proceeds as if it occurred on September 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 is based on the audited statement of operations of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2014 and includes pro forma adjustments to give effect to the sale of EFS and RPS as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is based on the unaudited statement of operations of the Partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and gives effect to the sale of EFS and RPS as if it occurred on January 1, 2014.
The sale of EFS and RPS to Erick’s Holdings, LLC (“Buyer”), J. Mark Snodgrass (“Mr. Snodgrass”), and Brian N. Austin(“Mr. Austin”) is considered a transaction with related parties as Buyer is owned, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Snodgrass and Mr. Austin. Mr. Snodgrass and Mr. Austin owned, directly or indirectly, each of Erick and Rod’s prior to the Partnership acquisition of the entities in June 2014 ("Acquisition"). After the Acquisition, Mr. Snodgrass became the Senior Vice President of Operations of MCLP and remained an officer of each of Erick and Rod’s. In addition, Mr. Snodgrass and Mr. Austin were each issued common units representing limited partner interest in the Partnership in connection with the Acquisition, which they still own. The purchase price was determined based on arm’s length negotiations.
The pro forma adjustments include the use of estimates and assumptions as described herein. The pro forma adjustments are based on information available to management at the time these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared. NSLP believes the estimates and assumptions used are reasonable and the significant effects of the transactions are properly reflected. However, the estimates and assumptions are subject to change as additional information becomes available.



Ex. 99.2

Note 2. Unaudited Pro Forma Adjustments
The following adjustments were made in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information:
(a)
 
Adjustment reflects $5.0 million in estimated proceeds from the sale of EFS and RPS used to pay NSLP debt.
 
 
 
(b)
 
Adjustment reflects the elimination of assets and liabilities and net settlement of intercompany transactions included in the sale of EFS and RPS.
 
 
 
(c)
 
Adjustment reflects $8.0 million related party note receivable from the sale of EFS and RPS. The note matures in December 2020 and bears interest at 5.0% per annum.
 
 
 
(d)
 
Adjustment reflects the accrual of and related party receivable for interest income related to the purchaser's note for $8.0 million described in (c) above.
 
 
 
(e)
 
Adjustment reflects the elimination of contingent consideration in connection with the sale of EFS and RPS. This amount is the equity portion of contingent consideration earned by the former owners of EFS and RPS in the second quarter of 2015.
 
 
 
(f)
 
Adjustment reflects the elimination of the $9.1 million note payable in connection with the sale of EFS and RPS in addition to $9.9 million in EFS and RPS debt eliminated with the sale of EFS and RPS. The $9.1 million note payable was the cash portion of contingent consideration earned by the former owners of EFS and RPS in the second quarter of 2015.
 
 
 
(g)
 
Adjustment represents the recognition of a $36.6 million estimated loss on sale which would have been realized upon the sale of EFS and RPS if the transaction had closed on September 30, 2015. The estimated loss has not been reflected in the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as it is considered non-recurring in nature. Actual adjustments may differ from the information presented. The $36.6 million estimated loss on sale is substantially offset by the elimination of $31.2 million in net EFS and RPS revenue and expenses for the period.
 
 
 
(h)
 
Adjustment reflects the reclassification of the revenue and costs, net of intercompany transactions, associated with the sale of EFS and RPS to discontinued operations.
 
 
 
(i)
 
Adjustment reflects the elimination of the change in fair value of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of EFS and RPS.
 
 
 
(j)
 
Adjustment reflects an additional $5.1 million in phantom unit compensation expense from the issuance of previously escrowed units to the former owners as required in the June 2014 EFS / RPS acquisition partially offset by a $4.5 million reduction in phantom unit compensation expense related to forfeitures from the sale of EFS and RPS.
 
 
 
(k)
 
The disposition of EFS and RPS did not impact the number of common units outstanding at December 31, 2014. A pro forma adjustment made for the forfeiture of 4,304 unvested common units did not impact the weighted common units outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
