Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

On October 9, 2015, New Source Energy Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) was notified by the Bank of Montreal, the administrative agent under the Partnership’s Credit Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2013 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), that the semi-annual re-determination of the borrowing base under the terms of Credit Agreement resulted in a lowering of the borrowing base from $49 million to $24 million. The Partnership previously voluntarily agreed to lower the borrowing base from $57 million to $49 million in preparation for the lenders’ review of the borrowing base. The Partnership currently has $49 million borrowed under the Credit Agreement, resulting in a borrowing base deficiency currently in the amount of $25 million. The Partnership has thirty (30) days to provide written notice to Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, of its plans to cure the deficiency by either prepaying the excess borrowings in full, pledging additional collateral to cure the deficiency, or a combination thereof.

The Partnership does not currently have sufficient cash resources to repay or additional collateral to cure the borrowing base deficiency. If the Partnership is unable to successfully negotiate a forbearance agreement, obtain a waiver of compliance or cure the borrowing base deficiency, an event of default under the Credit Facility would occur on November 9, 2015. In an event of default, the administrative agent may, and at the request of the majority of lenders, shall by notice to the Company, take either or both of the following actions: (i) terminate the Partnership’s Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the notes and the loans then outstanding under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

The Partnership has retained Opportune LLP as its financial advisor to assist in working with the Partnership’s lenders to eliminate the borrowing base deficiency and in connection therewith evaluate strategic alternatives. There is no assurance that the Partnership will be successful in pursuing any such alternatives.
