FIFTH AMENDMENT, 
CONSENT AND WAIVER TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
This FIFTH AMENDMENT, CONSENT AND WAIVER TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Fifth Amendment”), dated as of December 9, 2016, is by and among Archrock Services, L.P., a limited partnership formed under the laws of the state of Delaware (the “Borrower”), Archrock, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the state of Delaware (“Parent”), the Guarantors party hereto, the Lenders listed on the signature pages attached hereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).
R E C I T A L S
A.    The Borrower, Parent, the Administrative Agent and the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (each, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”) are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of July 10, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”);  
B.    The Guarantors are parties to that certain Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty and Collateral Agreement”);
C.    The Borrower and Parent have informed the Lenders that Parent’s management and the Audit Committee of Parent’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) are in the process of reviewing certain matters more particularly described on the Disclosure Schedule attached to that certain Fourth Amendment, Consent and Waiver to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2016, by and among Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P., as borrower, Exterran Corporation, as parent, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders listed on the signature pages attached thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Disclosed Matters”) to determine the possible impact on the Parent’s financial statements prior to the Separation Transaction (such review by Parent’s management and the Audit Committee being referred to as the “Disclosed Matters Review”);
D.    Section 8.01(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement requires that Parent deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of the quarterly report filed by Parent with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for the Fiscal Quarters ended March 31, 2016 (the “Q1 2016 Quarterly Report”), June 30, 2016 (the “Q2 2016 Quarterly Report”) and September 30, 2016 (the “Q3 2016 Quarterly Report”), in each case, within 30 days after the same is required to be filed with the SEC (but in any event within 60 days after the end of such Fiscal Quarter);
E.    As a result of the Disclosed Matters Review, Parent was not able to file the Q1 2016 Quarterly Report, the Q2 2016 Quarterly Report or the Q3 2016 Quarterly Report by the time required by SEC rules;
F.    The Borrower and Parent had previously requested that the Lenders consent to an extension of the periods set forth in Sections 8.01(a) and 8.01(b) of the Credit Agreement for delivery of (i) the Q1 2016 Quarterly Report and the related Compliance Certificate (the “Original Q1 2016 Quarterly Report Extension”), (ii) the Q2 2016 Quarterly Report and the related Compliance Certificate (the “Original Q2 2016 Quarterly Report Extension”) and (iii) the Q3 2016 Quarterly 











Report and the related Compliance Certificate (the “Original Q3 2016 Quarterly Report Extension”), in each case to the earlier of (x) within ten Business Days following the date Parent files its quarterly report with the SEC for the Fiscal Quarters ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 or September 30, 2016, respectively, and (y) December 31, 2016;
G.    The Borrower and Parent have informed the Lenders that there is a possibility that, upon completion of the Disclosed Matters Review, the Audit Committee could conclude that the previously issued audited consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Audited Report”) should no longer be relied upon.  In the event that such conclusion (the “Non-Reliance Conclusion”) is made by the Audit Committee, (i) Parent’s earnings releases and other financial communications for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2015 (collectively with the 2015 Audited Report, the “Prior 2015 Financial Information”) may no longer be able to be relied upon and (ii) there is a possibility that certain financial information related to the prior fiscal periods of Parent would no longer be able to be relied upon (collectively with the Prior 2015 Financial Information, the “Prior Financial Information”);
H.    In the event that the Non-Reliance Conclusion is made by the Audit Committee, management of Parent could restate or modify the 2015 Audited Report and, if applicable, the other Prior Financial Information (collectively, the “Replacement Financial Information”);
I.    Pursuant to Section 8.01(b) of the Credit Agreement, Parent timely delivered a Compliance Certificate to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Parent’s compliance with Sections 9.10(a) and 9.10(b) of the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2015 (the “Q4 2015 Compliance Certificate”);
J.    In the event that the Non-Reliance Conclusion is made by the Audit Committee, a Default or Event of Default may exist or arise under Section 10.01(c) of the Credit Agreement in respect of Section 8.01(b) of the Credit Agreement due to the fact that the information contained in the Q4 2015 Compliance Certificate was based on the Prior 2015 Financial Information (the “Compliance Certificate Potential Default”);
K.    Pursuant to Section 8.02(a) of the Credit Agreement, Parent is required to keep its books of record and account and the books of record and account of its Consolidated Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP;
L.    In the event that the Non-Reliance Conclusion is made by the Audit Committee, a Default or Event of Default may exist or arise under Section 10.01(d)(iii) of the Credit Agreement as a result of the potential failure by Parent to keep books of record and account in accordance with GAAP as required by Section 8.02(a) of the Credit Agreement in connection with the Prior Financial Information (the “Books of Record Potential Default”); 
M.    The Borrower and Parent have made, or have been deemed to make, from time to time the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.11 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the accuracy of all or a portion of the Prior Financial Information as and when required by the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Specified Representation”), including pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement in connection with the making of Loans by the Lenders on the occasion of any Borrowing and the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit by 


2







any Issuing Bank (any date on which the Specified Representation is made or deemed made, a “Representation Date”);
N.    In the event that the Non-Reliance Conclusion is made by the Audit Committee, a Default or Event of Default may exist or arise under Section 10.01(c) of the Credit Agreement as a result of the potential for the Specified Representation to have been false or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made on one or more Representation Dates (the “Representation Potential Defaults”, and together with the Compliance Certificate Potential Default and the Books of Record Potential Default, the “Specified Potential Defaults”);
O.    In the event that the Non-Reliance Conclusion is made by the Audit Committee, additional related Defaults or Events of Default may exist or arise (i) under Section 10.01(c) of the Credit Agreement in the event that any representation or warranty made or deemed made as to the absence of a Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents was false or misleading in any material respect on any Representation Date, in any such case solely as a result of the existence of the Specified Potential Defaults on such Representation Date; (ii) under Section 10.01(d)(i) of the Credit Agreement due to the failure to notify the Administrative Agent of any Specified Potential Default promptly after a Responsible Officer of Parent or the Borrower obtains actual knowledge thereof, as required by Section 8.01(e) of the Credit Agreement; and (iii) under Section 10.01(d) of the Credit Agreement due to the taking of any action conditioned upon the absence of a Default or Event of Default solely due to the presence of a Specified Potential Default at such time (collectively, the “Related Potential Defaults”);
P.    Pursuant to that certain Fourth Amendment, Consent and Waiver to Credit Agreement, dated as of September 21, 2016 (the “Fourth Amendment”), among the Borrower, Parent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party thereto, the Lenders agreed to (i) waive any and all Specified Potential Defaults and Related Potential Defaults until December 31, 2016 (the “Waiver Termination Date”) unless on or prior to such date, Parent shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent the financial information required to be delivered pursuant to Section 3 of the Fourth Amendment and (ii) consent to the Original Q1 2016 Quarterly Report Extension, the Original Q2 2016 Quarterly Report Extension and the Original Q3 2016 Quarterly Report Extension; and
Q.    The Borrower and Parent have requested that the Lenders consent to (i) an extension of the Waiver Termination Date until March 31, 2017, (ii) an extension of the Original Q1 2016 Quarterly Report Extension until the earlier of (x) within ten Business Days following the date Parent files its quarterly report with the SEC for the Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2016 and (y) March 31, 2017 (the “Amended Q1 2016 Quarterly Report Extension”), (iii) an extension of the Original Q2 2016 Quarterly Report Extension until the earlier of (x) within ten Business Days following the date Parent files its quarterly report with the SEC for the Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2016 and (y) March 31, 2017 (the “Amended Q2 2016 Quarterly Report Extension”) and (iv) an extension of the Original Q3 2016 Quarterly Report Extension until the earlier of (x) within ten Business Days following the date Parent files its quarterly report with the SEC for the Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2016 and (y) March 31, 2017 (the “Amended Q3 2016 Quarterly Report Extension”).

statements required to be delivered by it pursuant to Sections 8.01(a) and 8.01(b), respectively, during the period from the expiration of the time for delivery thereof until such consolidated financial statements are delivered (except that clause (x) of this proviso shall not apply and shall have no force and effect during the period beginning on the Second Amendment Effective Date and ending on the date that is the earlier of (1) the date the Required Financial Information is delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 4 of the Fifth Amendment and (2) March 31, 2017) and (y) the Total Leverage Ratio in effect on the Second Amendment Effective Date shall be deemed to be Level I, subject to any retroactive corrections set forth in the second proviso in this sentence; provided further that in the event that the Required Financial Information or any Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Fifth Amendment shows a Total Leverage Ratio that would have led to the application of an Applicable Margin higher than the Applicable Margin actually applied for such period, then Parent and the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Lenders) the accrued additional interest resulting from such increased Applicable Margin for the period beginning on the Second Amendment Effective Date and ending on the date when the Applicable Margin is reset pursuant to its terms.”
Section 3.    Waiver of Specified Potential Defaults and Related Potential Defaults.  Subject to the occurrence of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Section 5 below), the Majority Lenders hereby waive, solely in respect of the Disclosed Matters, (x) any and all Specified Potential Defaults and Related Potential Defaults to the extent now existing or hereafter arising and (y) any requirement that Parent or the Borrower make any representations and warranties after the date hereof as to any Prior Financial Information; provided that the waiver and agreements set forth in this Section 3 shall terminate on March 31, 2017 unless on or prior to such date, Parent shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent the following:

5







Extension, the Amended Q2 2016 Quarterly Report Extension and the Amended Q3 2016 Quarterly Report Extension for delivery of the Q1 2016 Quarterly Report, the Q2 2016 Quarterly Report and the Q3 2016 Quarterly Report, respectively, and the respective related Compliance Certificates, and no Default or Event of Default shall arise under the Loan Documents with respect to such delayed delivery so long as (i) the Q1 2016 Quarterly Report and the related Compliance Certificate are delivered on or prior to the earlier of (A) ten Business Days following the date Parent files its quarterly report with the SEC for the Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2016 and (B) March 31, 2017; (ii) the Q2 2016 Quarterly Report and the related Compliance Certificate are delivered on or prior to the earlier of (A) ten Business Days following the date Parent files its quarterly report with the SEC for the Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2016 and (B) March 31, 2017; and (iii) the Q3 2016 Quarterly Report and the related Compliance Certificate are delivered on or prior to the earlier of (A) ten Business Days following the date Parent files its quarterly report with the SEC for the Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2016 and (B) March 31, 2017, in each case in conformity with the terms of Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement.  The failure to deliver the Q1 2016 Quarterly Report, the Q2 2016 Quarterly Report, the Q3 Quarterly Report and the respective related Compliance Certificates in conformity with the terms of Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement as required by this Section 4.1 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

7







adverse to any Secured Party) or by which it is bound or to which its Properties are subject, except to the extent that any such violation or default, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c)    Compliance with Financial Covenants.
