Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement

On January 23, 2018, Mid-Con Energy Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) entered into a Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Class B Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers named in Schedule A attached thereto (together, the “Class B Purchasers”) to issue and sell to the Purchasers in a private placement (the “Class B Private Placement”) an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million of the Partnership’s 8.00% Class B Convertible Preferred Units (the “Class B Preferred Units”).  The Class B Private Placement is anticipated to be completed prior to or on January 31, 2018.  The closing is subject to customary closing conditions.  The Partnership and Class B Purchasers previously entered into that certain Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement dated November 14, 2017, which expired according to its terms on December 31, 2018.  

Each holder of Class B Preferred Units (a “Class B Preferred Unit Holder”) will be entitled to receive a cumulative, quarterly distribution in arrears on each Class B Preferred Unit then held by such Class B Preferred Unit Holder (i) in cash at an annual rate of 8.00%, or (ii) in the event that the Partnership’s existing secured indebtedness prevents the payment of a cash distribution to all Class B Preferred Unit Holders, in kind (additional Class B Preferred Units) at an annual rate of 10.00%.  At any time after the sixth-month anniversary of the closing date of the Class B Private Placement (the “Closing Date”), each Class B Preferred Unit Holder has the right to convert the Class B Preferred Units then held by such Class B Preferred Unit Holder, in full or in part, on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments and conditions.  At any time after August 11, 2021, the fifth anniversary of the closing date of the issuance and sale of the Partnership’s 8.00% Class A Convertible Preferred Units (the “Class A Preferred Units”), each Class B Preferred Unit Holder has the right to cause the Partnership to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding Class B Preferred Units at a price per Class B Preferred Unit equal to the Unit Purchase Price (as defined in the Class B Purchase Agreement), as described in the Class B Purchase Agreement.  Immediately prior to the effectiveness of a change of control of the Partnership, each Class B Preferred Unit Holder may elect to (i) have such Holder’s Class B Preferred Units converted into Common Units, plus accrued but unpaid distributions to the conversion date; or (ii) if the Partnership is the surviving entity of the change of control, continue to hold its Class B Preferred Units.  If a Class B Preferred Unit Holder does not elect to convert all of its Class B Preferred Units into common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units”) upon the effectiveness of a change of control, then, unless the Partnership is the surviving entity of the change of control, the Partnership will redeem any remaining Class B Preferred Units for cash.

The Class B Preferred Units will vote on an as-converted basis with the Common Units.  Pursuant to the Class B Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Partnership will enter into a registration rights agreement with the Class B Purchasers, pursuant to which the Partnership will agree to file a shelf registration statement registering the resale by the Class B Purchasers of the Common Units to be issued upon conversion of the Class B Preferred Units.

Pursuant to the Class B Purchase Agreement, the Partnership will continue the suspension of sales of Common Units pursuant the Partnership’s Equity Distribution Agreement dated May 5, 2015 (the “EDA”), through August 11, 2021 and,  without the consent of a majority of the Class B Preferred Unit Holders (as well as a majority of the holders of the Class A Preferred Units), the Partnership will be not be permitted to incur any indebtedness (other than under the Partnership’s existing credit facility and trade accounts payable arising in the ordinary course of business).

The Partnership expects to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Class B Preferred Units for general partnership purposes, including but not limited to, future acquisitions and reduction of borrowings outstanding under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility.

The issuance of the Class B Preferred Units pursuant to the Class B Purchase Agreement is being made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof. The Class B Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by Partnership and the Class B Purchasers and each party (an “indemnifying
