The Third Amendment (i) increases the maximum amount of unsecured senior or senior subordinated notes that may be issued by the Operating Company or the Partnership from $400 million to $1 billion, subject to certain conditions set forth therein and (ii) permits the issuance of up to $500 million in senior unsecured notes prior to the November 2019 scheduled redetermination of the borrowing base without a reduction to the borrowing base that would have otherwise occurred pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
The preceding summary of the Third Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Pricing of Senior Notes
On October 10, 2019, the Partnership issued a press release announcing that it
priced an upsized offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "Notes") to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (the "Notes Offering").  The Notes will be issued at par.  The Partnership intends to loan the proceeds from the Notes Offering to the Operating Company. The Operating Company will use the proceeds from the Notes Offering to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility.  The Notes Offering is expected to close on October 16, 2019. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.  The Partnership is under no obligation, and has no intention, to register the Notes under the Securities Act or any state securities laws in the future.  This report is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
