Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the &#147;<B><I>Partnership</I></B>&#148;) completed an acquisition of working interests in 25 producing wells and related undeveloped leasehold rights in the Southern Dome Field in Oklahoma County,
Oklahoma (collectively, the &#147;<B><I>Assets</I></B>&#148;) from Scintilla, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (&#147;<B><I>Scintilla</I></B>&#148;) pursuant to a Contribution Agreement (the &#147;<B><I>Contribution
Agreement</I></B>&#148;) by and between the Partnership and Scintilla. The Assets generated average daily production of 383.5 Boe/d during the period between May&nbsp;1, 2013 and July&nbsp;31, 2013 (the &#147;<B><I>Current Production
Average</I></B>&#148;), of which the commodity breakdown was 51% natural gas, 34% oil and 15% natural gas liquids. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As consideration for
the Assets, the Partnership paid $5 million in cash to Scintilla at closing and agreed to issue 414,045 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership to Scintilla in November 2013, valued at $20.34 per common unit, which
represents the average high and low trading prices for the Partnership&#146;s common units on the New York Stock Exchange for the five trading days immediately preceding the closing of the acquisition. The Partnership also agreed to provide
additional consideration to Scintilla in November 2014 if the production attributable to the Assets for the nine-month period ending September&nbsp;30, 2014 exceeds the Current Production Average. As detailed in the Contribution Agreement, the
amount of any such additional consideration will be calculated as the acquisition value of the production increase (applying the same valuation methodology as was used to determine the initial consideration with respect to the Current Production
Average) less (i)&nbsp;the capital expenditures incurred attributable to the production growth (including an allowance for the cost of capital for such capital expenditures) and (ii)&nbsp;revenue attributable to any wells that were not producing in
paying quantities as of the effective date of the acquisition. The Partnership may satisfy any such additional consideration in cash, common units, or a combination thereof at its discretion. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Contribution Agreement also contains representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions that are typical for
transactions of this nature. The effective date of the acquisition of the Assets is August&nbsp;1, 2013. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing summary of the
Contribution Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Contribution Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. </P>

Chairman of the Board of Directors of New Source Energy GP, LLC, the general partner of the Partnership (the &#147;<B><I>General Partner</I></B>&#148;), is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of New Source Energy Corporation
(&#147;<B><I>NSEC</I></B>&#148;) and owns approximately 89.0% of its outstanding common stock. In addition, Mr.&nbsp;Chernicky owns 100% of the outstanding membership interests in Scintilla. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">After giving effect to acquisition of the Assets, following delivery of the common unit consideration but without giving effect to any
additional consideration, Mr.&nbsp;Chernicky and entities he controls collectively will own (i)&nbsp;30.6% of the general partner and (ii)&nbsp;approximately 2.7&nbsp;million of the Partnership&#146;s outstanding common units and approximately
2.2&nbsp;million of the Partnership&#146;s subordinated units representing limited partner interests, for an aggregate limited partner interest of approximately 51.7%. Certain officers and directors of NSEC or their affiliates serve as officers
and/or directors of the General Partner. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board of Directors of the General Partner approved the transaction based on a recommendation
from its conflicts committee, which consists of two directors meeting the New York Stock Exchange listing standards for independence. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 4, 2013, New Source Energy
Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "
Partnership
") completed an acquisition of working interests in 25 producing wells and related undeveloped leasehold rights in the Southern Dome Field in Oklahoma County,
Oklahoma (collectively, the "
Assets
") from Scintilla, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company ("
Scintilla
") pursuant to a Contribution Agreement (the "
Contribution
Agreement
") by and between the Partnership and Scintilla. The Assets generated average daily production of 383.5 Boe/d during the period between May 1, 2013 and July 31, 2013 (the "
Current Production
Average
"), of which the commodity breakdown was 51% natural gas, 34% oil and 15% natural gas liquids.
As consideration for
the Assets, the Partnership paid $5 million in cash to Scintilla at closing and agreed to issue 414,045 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership to Scintilla in November 2013, valued at $20.34 per common unit, which
represents the average high and low trading prices for the Partnership's common units on the New York Stock Exchange for the five trading days immediately preceding the closing of the acquisition. The Partnership also agreed to provide
additional consideration to Scintilla in November 2014 if the production attributable to the Assets for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2014 exceeds the Current Production Average. As detailed in the Contribution Agreement, the
amount of any such additional consideration will be calculated as the acquisition value of the production increase (applying the same valuation methodology as was used to determine the initial consideration with respect to the Current Production
Average) less (i) the capital expenditures incurred attributable to the production growth (including an allowance for the cost of capital for such capital expenditures) and (ii) revenue attributable to any wells that were not producing in
paying quantities as of the effective date of the acquisition. The Partnership may satisfy any such additional consideration in cash, common units, or a combination thereof at its discretion.
The Contribution Agreement also contains representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions that are typical for
transactions of this nature. The effective date of the acquisition of the Assets is August 1, 2013.
The foregoing summary of the
Contribution Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Contribution Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Relationships
David J. Chernicky, the
Chairman of the Board of Directors of New Source Energy GP, LLC, the general partner of the Partnership (the "
General Partner
"), is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of New Source Energy Corporation
("
NSEC
") and owns approximately 89.0% of its outstanding common stock. In addition, Mr. Chernicky owns 100% of the outstanding membership interests in Scintilla.
After giving effect to acquisition of the Assets, following delivery of the common unit consideration but without giving effect to any
additional consideration, Mr. Chernicky and entities he controls collectively will own (i) 30.6% of the general partner and (ii) approximately 2.7 million of the Partnership's outstanding common units and approximately
2.2 million of the Partnership's subordinated units representing limited partner interests, for an aggregate limited partner interest of approximately 51.7%. Certain officers and directors of NSEC or their affiliates serve as officers
and/or directors of the General Partner.
The Board of Directors of the General Partner approved the transaction based on a recommendation
from its conflicts committee, which consists of two directors meeting the New York Stock Exchange listing standards for independence.
