Amendment (each such Lender that has executed and delivered a signature page to
this Amendment on or prior to the Fourth Amendment Closing Date, a “Consenting
Lender”);
WHEREAS, each Lender holding Commitments immediately prior to the Fourth
Amendment Closing Date that is not a Consenting Lender (each, a “Non-Consenting

2 of this Fourth Amendment; and
WHEREAS, (i) Citibank, N.A. is acting as a joint lead arranger and joint lead

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are
hereby acknowledged, Borrower and the Lenders hereby agree as follows (all
capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 1.Amendments to Revolving Credit Agreement. Effective as of the Fourth
Amendment Closing Date, the Revolving Credit Agreement is hereby amended as
follows:
(a)    The definition of “Maturity Date” as set forth in Section 1.01 of the
Revolving Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
“Maturity Date” means with respect (a) the Tranche A Commitments, the first
Business Day following October 1, 2017 and (b) the Tranche B Commitments, the
first Business Day following April 3, 2023; provided that if as of the Springing
Maturity Date, any Parent Notes remain outstanding and have a stated maturity
date that will not occur later than 180 days after the Maturity Date with
respect to the Tranche B Commitments, then the Maturity Date with respect to the
Tranche B Commitments shall be the Springing Maturity Date.
(b)    The definition of “Parent Notes” as set forth in Section 1.01 of the
Revolving Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
“Parent Notes” means the 10.500% Senior Notes due 2022 issued by Parent and NRP
Finance Corporation, as such Senior Notes are amended, amended and restated,
supplemented, exchanged, refinanced, or otherwise modified from time to time.
(c)    The definition of “Tranche B Commitment” as set forth in Section 1.01 of
the Revolving Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
“Tranche B Commitment” means, with respect to each Tranche B Revolving Lender,
the commitment of such Tranche B Revolving Lender to make Tranche B Revolving
Loans and to acquire participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans
hereunder, expressed as an amount representing the maximum aggregate amount of
such Tranche B Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure hereunder, as such
commitment may be (a) reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.07, (b)
increased from time to time pursuant to Section 2.18, and (c) reduced or
increased from time to time pursuant to assignments by or to such Tranche B
Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 9.04 and “Tranche B Commitments” means the
aggregate amount of the Tranche B Commitments of all the Tranche B Revolving
Lenders. Each Tranche B Revolving Lender’s Tranche B Commitment as of the Fourth
Amendment Closing Date, and after giving effect to the reduction in Tranche B
Commitments to occur on the Fourth Amendment Closing Date, is set forth on
Schedule 2.01, or in the Assignment and Assumption or Commitment Increase
Agreement pursuant to which such Tranche B Revolving Lender shall have assumed
or incurred its Tranche B Commitment, as applicable. The aggregate amount of the
Tranche B Revolving Lenders’ Tranche B Commitments as of the Fourth Amendment
Closing Date, and after giving effect to the reduction in Tranche B Commitments
to occur on the Fourth Amendment Closing Date, is $88,000,000.
(d)    Section 1.01 of the Revolving Credit Agreement is amended by adding the
following definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order:
“Fourth Amendment Closing Date” means April 3, 2019.
“LIBOR Successor Rate” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.12.

-2-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed
LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Alternate Base
Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making
payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in
the discretion of the Administrative Agent, to reflect the adoption of such
LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the
Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice
(or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such
market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for
the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of
administration as the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with the
Borrower).
“Springing Maturity Date” means 180 days prior to the stated maturity date of
the Parent Notes then outstanding.
(e)    The following language is hereby added to the Revolving Credit Agreement
as a new Section 1.05:
“SECTION 1.05.    Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in
connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any
comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset,
right, obligations or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right,
obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have
been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if
any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have
been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity
Interests at such time.”
(f)    Section 2.12 of the Revolving Credit Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as set forth below:
“SECTION 2.12    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or
any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Required
Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) that the
Required Lenders have determined, that:
(a)    adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining ICE LIBOR or
the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for any requested Interest Period, including,
without limitation, because the LIBO Rate is not available or published on a
current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(b)    the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or a Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public
statement identifying a specific date after which ICE LIBOR or the LIBO Rate
shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of
loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),
then, after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the
Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace ICE LIBOR with an alternate
benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark
(if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated
loan market in the United States in lieu of ICE LIBOR (any such proposed rate, a
“LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming
Changes; provided that the LIBOR Successor Rate shall not

-3-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

be less than 0.00%. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02,
any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the
fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such
proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time,
Lenders comprising at least the Required Lenders have delivered to the
Administrative Agent notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such
amendment. 

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under
clause (a) above exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain
Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar
Loans or Interest Periods).  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may
revoke any pending request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans
or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such
request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified
therein.”

(g)    Section 2.18(a) of the Revolving Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
(i) deleting “at least $25,000,000” therein and inserting in lieu thereof “at
least $10,000,000” and (ii) deleting “exceed $50,000,000” therein and inserting
in lieu thereof “exceed $62,000,000”.
(h)    Schedule 2.01 to the Revolving Credit Agreement is hereby replaced in its
entirety with Schedule 2.01 attached hereto.
Section 2.    Assignments; Reallocations of Loans and Commitments. Pursuant to
Section 2.17 of the Revolving Credit Agreement, effective upon the Fourth
Amendment Closing Date, (a) each Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have
assigned its Tranche B Revolving Loans and Tranche B Commitments to one or more
other financial institutions party hereto (including any existing Lenders, the
“Replacement Lenders”) such that immediately after giving effect to such
assignments, the Tranche B Commitment of each Replacement Lender shall be the
amount set forth opposite such Replacement Lender’s name on Schedule 2.01
attached hereto, (b) each Replacement Lender shall become, or shall continue to
be, a Lender under the Revolving Credit Agreement, (c) each Replacement Lender
shall have advanced or be deemed to have advanced new Tranche B Revolving Loans,
which shall be disbursed or be deemed to be disbursed to the Administrative
Agent and used to repay Tranche B Revolving Loans outstanding to the
Non-Consenting Lenders, (d) each Replacement Lender’s participation in each
Letter of Credit, if any, shall be automatically adjusted to equal its
Applicable Percentage set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto and (e) the
Administrative Agent; each Issuing Bank, each Replacement Lender and each
Non-Consenting Lender consents to the assignments described in clause (a) of
this Section 2; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, each Non-Consenting
Lender shall automatically cease to be a Lender on the Fourth Amendment
Effective Date.
Section 3.    Representations True; No Default. On the Fourth Amendment Closing
Date, Borrower represents and warrants that:
(a)    this Fourth Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on
its behalf; the Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended by this Fourth Amendment,
together with the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party, constitute
valid and legally binding agreements of Borrower enforceable in accordance with
their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law;

-4-

(b)    the representations and warranties of Borrower contained in Article III
of the Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended by this Fourth Amendment, are true

adverse effect” or similar language, in all respects) on and as of the Fourth
Amendment Closing Date as though made on and as of the Fourth Amendment Closing
Date, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty is stated to
relate to an earlier date in which case such representation and warranty will be
true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified by “material,”
“material adverse effect” or similar language, in all respects) on and as of
such earlier date; and
(c)    after giving effect to this Fourth Amendment, no Default or Event of
Default under the Revolving Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing.

Fourth Amendment Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the
execution of this Fourth Amendment and any amounts outstanding pursuant to
Section 9.03 of the Revolving Credit Agreement, including the reasonable fees,

on and as of the Fourth Amendment Closing Date, except to the extent that any
such representation or warranty is stated to relate to an earlier date in which
case such representation and warranty will be true and correct in all material
respects (or if qualified by “material,” “material adverse effect” or similar
language, in all respects) on and as of such earlier date.
