 (i) eighty percent (80%) of Borrower’s aggregate cost incurred in connection with the construction
of the Facility in accordance with the Approved Budget (as defined below), or (ii) $13,826,834.00. The unpaid principal balance of the Term Note shall bear interest from the date advanced until paid or until Event of Default (as defined below)
or maturity at a fixed rate in the initial percentage equal to five percent (5.0%) per annum. The rate will adjust as of June 15, 2019 (the “Adjustment Date”), to a fixed rate equal to the sum of the rate of interest per

percent (1.0%), provided, however, that the fixed rate as of the Adjustment Date shall not be less than a floor rate of five percent (5.0%) per annum or higher than a ceiling rate of seven percent (7.0%) per annum; and thereafter, the
unpaid principal balance of the Term Note shall bear interest from the Adjustment Date until paid or until Event of Default or maturity at such fixed rate per annum. The Term Loan is payable on the terms set forth in the Term Note.

construction of the Improvements (as defined below), for completed work during the period, upon compliance by Borrower with this Loan Agreement and the inspection of the construction by Lender’s third-party inspector (the “Interim

exceed eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate of the (i) costs of labor, materials, and services actually incorporated into the Improvements in a manner acceptable to Lender during the time covered by the Request for Borrowing, and
(ii) the amount of retainage paid, or to be paid, to any contractor, subcontractor, materialmen, or laborers, if any No Request for Borrowing shall include amounts included in any previous Request for Borrowing. Each Request for Borrowing must

 (9) Any of the Obligated Parties revokes, or disputes the validity of or liability under,
any of the Loan Documents, including any guaranty or security document. 
 (b) The term “Obligated Parties” means
Borrowers, Guarantors, or any of them, any other party liable, in whole or in part, for the payment of any of the Secured Obligations, whether as maker, endorser, guarantor, surety, or otherwise, and any party executing any deed of trust, mortgage,
security agreement, pledge agreement, assignment, or other contract of any kind executed as security in connection with or pertaining to the Secured Obligations, the Notes, or the Loans. The term “Debtor Relief Laws” means any
applicable liquidation, conservatorship, receivership, bankruptcy, moratorium, rearrangement, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws affecting the rights or remedies of creditors generally, as in effect from time to time. 

10. Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any one or more of the foregoing Events of Default and the
expiration of any notice, cure, or grace period required by Subsection (b) below, the entire unpaid principal balances of the Notes, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other Secured Obligations then owing by
Borrowers to Lender, shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable without further presentation, demand for payment, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or dishonor, protest or notice of protest of any kind,
all of which are expressly waived by Borrowers. Any and all rights and remedies of Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be exercised by Lender, at its option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default and the expiration of any notice, cure, or grace period required by Subsection (b) below. All remedies of Lender may be exercised singularly, concurrently, or consecutively, without waiver or election. 

(b) Upon any Event of Default described in Subsection (a)(1) of Section 9 above regarding payment of sums owing to Lender,
Borrowers shall have ten (10) days grace after the due date in the invoice provided by Lender in order to cure the default prior to acceleration of the Notes and exercise of any remedies. Upon any other Event of Default described in
Subsection (a) of Section 9 above, Lender shall provide Borrowers with written notice of the Event of Default and Borrowers shall have thirty (30) days after notice in order to cure the Event of Default prior to acceleration of
the Notes and exercise of any remedies; except Borrowers shall have no cure period for any voluntary filing by Borrowers under any Debtor Relief Laws, for any voluntary transfer of any portion of the Facility, without obtaining Lender’s prior
written consent, for any liquidation or termination of existence of Borrowers, or for any Event of Default that is not capable of cure during that period, including, without limitation, breaches of any negative covenants and any financial covenants,
and provided that Lender is not obligated to provide written notice of any Event of Default which Borrowers report to Lender, but Borrowers shall have the benefit of any applicable grace or cure period required herein.

 (c) All rights of Lender under the terms of this Loan Agreement shall be cumulative of, and
in addition to, the rights of Lender under any and all other agreements among Borrowers and Lender (including, but not limited to, the other Loan Documents), and not in substitution or diminution of any rights now or hereafter held by Lender under
the terms of any other agreement. 
 11. Waiver and Amendment. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Lender to exercise
any right, power, or privilege herein or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. No waiver of any provision in this Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no departure by Borrowers therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
Lender, and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing. No modification or amendment to this Loan Agreement or to any of the other Loan Documents shall be
valid or effective unless the same is signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced. 
 12. Savings Clause. Regardless
of any provision contained in this Loan Agreement, the Notes, or any of the Loan Documents, it is the express intent of the parties that at no time shall Borrowers or any of the Obligated Parties pay interest in excess of the Maximum Rate (or any
other interest amount which might in any way be deemed usurious), and Lender will never be considered to have contracted for or to be entitled to charge, receive, collect, or apply as interest on any of the Notes or the other Secured Obligations,
any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate (or any other interest amount which might in any way be deemed usurious). In the event that Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, the amount which would be excessive interest
will be applied to the reduction of the principal balances of the Notes or the Secured Obligations, and, if the principal balances of the Notes and the Secured Obligations are paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrowers.
In determining whether the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate (or any other interest amount which might in any way be deemed usurious), Borrowers and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law:
(i) characterize any non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest payments hereunder) as an expense or fee rather than as interest; (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof; and
(iii) amortize, pro rate, or spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Notes so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the term. The term “Maximum Rate” has the meaning assigned in
the Term Note.

and the other Loan Documents shall survive any closing hereunder.

this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any and all extensions, renewals, amendments, supplements, extensions, or modifications thereof, (ii) any action reasonably required in the course of administration of the Loans or the

and the Loan Documents may also be executed by Borrowers and Guarantors in remote locations with signature pages faxed or scanned and e-mailed to Lender. Borrowers and Guarantors agree that the faxed or scanned signatures are binding upon Borrowers
and Guarantors, and Borrowers and Guarantors further agree to promptly deliver the original signatures for this Loan Agreement and all Loan Documents by overnight mail or expedited delivery. It will be an Event of Default if they fail to promptly
deliver all required original signatures. 
 17. Notice of Final Agreement. (a) In connection with the Loans, Borrowers,
Guarantors, and Lender have executed and delivered this Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents (collectively the “Written Loan Agreement”).

	 	Re:	First Amendment to Loan Agreement 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

This letter (this “Amendment”) amends the Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) dated June 15,
2014, among MAALT, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, and GHMR OPERATIONS, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company (collectively “Borrowers”); DENETZ LOGISTICS, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company, GARY B. HUMPHREYS, MARTIN
W. ROBERTSON, and the Trust Guarantors (as defined below) (collectively “Guarantors”); and PLAINSCAPITAL BANK (“Lender”). Capitalized terms below have the meanings assigned in the Loan Agreement. 

1. Term Loan. Borrowers have requested an extension of the draw period under the Term Loan and modification of the payments on the Term
Note, and Lender has agreed on the terms set forth in this Amendment. Subsection (a) of Section 1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows: 

“(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and
documents executed and delivered in connection with the Loan Agreement (collectively the “Loan Documents”), Lender agrees to make a multiple advance and term loan in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $13,826,834.00 to
Borrowers (the “Term Loan”) on the terms set forth in the Restated Term Promissory Note attached as Exhibit A to this Amendment (the “Term Note”), for the purpose of refinancing existing indebtedness owed by
MAALT, L.P. (“MAALT”) to Lender and for financing the construction of a sand storage and transloading facility situated in Dilley, Frio County, Texas (the “Facility”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan
Agreement, Borrowers may request one or more advances on or before June 15, 2015 (the “Termination Date”), in an aggregate amount 

 MAALT, L.P.

not to exceed the lesser of (i) eighty percent (80%) of Borrower’s aggregate cost incurred in connection with the construction of the Facility in accordance with the Approved Budget (as
defined below), or (ii) $13,826,834.00. The unpaid principal balance of the Term Note shall bear interest from the date advanced until paid or until Event of Default (as defined below) or maturity at a fixed rate in the initial percentage equal to
five percent (5.0%) per annum. The rate will adjust as of June 15, 2019 (the “Adjustment Date”), to a fixed rate equal to the sum of the rate of interest per annum established as of the Adjustment Date by The Wall Street
Journal as the “prime rate” on corporate loans for large U.S. commercial banks, as published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal, plus one percent (1.0%), provided, however, that the fixed rate as of the
Adjustment Date shall not be less than a floor rate of five percent (5.0%) per annum or higher than a ceiling rate of seven percent (7.0%) per annum; and thereafter, the unpaid principal balance of the Term Note shall bear interest from the
Adjustment Date until paid or until Event of Default or maturity at such fixed rate per annum. The Term Loan is payable on the terms set forth in the Term Note.” 

2. Revolving Loan. (a) The Loan Agreement is amended to add a new Section 1A that reads as follows: 

“1A. Revolving Loan. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, Lender agrees to make a revolving loan to MAALT in the maximum principal amount of $2,000,000.00 (the “Revolving Loan”) on the terms set forth in the promissory note attached as Exhibit E to this Amendment (the
“Revolving Note”), for the purposes set forth below. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, MAALT may borrow, repay, and reborrow on a revolving basis from time to time during the period commencing on the date
hereof and continuing through 11:00 a.m. (Fort Worth, Texas time) on July 15, 2015 (the “Termination Date”), such amounts as MAALT may request under the Revolving Loan; provided, however, the total principal amount outstanding
at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate sums permitted under the Borrowing Base (as defined below), or (ii) $2,000,000.00. All sums advanced under the Revolving Loan, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date. 
 (b) Advances on the Revolving Loan may be used only for the
purposes of financing MAALT’s accounts receivable and MAALT’s working capital. MAALT shall give notice to Lender of any requested advance on the Revolving Loan, in the form of the Request for Borrowing attached as Exhibit F, not
later than 10:00 a.m. (Fort Worth, Texas time) on the date of the requested advance. The request for an advance may be given telephonically if promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of Request for Borrowing. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Loan Agreement or the Revolving Note to the contrary, none of the proceeds of the Revolving Loan, nor any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental, or ultimate, of
purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as in effect from time to time.

 (c) The unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Note shall bear interest
from the date advanced until paid or until Event of Default or the Termination Date at a fluctuating rate equal to the Prime Rate (as defined in the Revolving Note); provided, however, that the interest rate payable on the Revolving Note shall never
fall below a floor rate of four percent (4.0%) per annum. 
 (d) At the request of Borrower, Lender may from time to time
issue one or more letters of credit for the account of Borrower or any affiliates (the “Letters of Credit”); provided, however, that Lender shall not be obligated to issue a Letter of Credit if: (i) the conditions set forth in
Subsection (b) of Section 4 of the Loan Agreement are not met, (ii) the form of the Letter of Credit is not acceptable to Lender, (iii) issuance of the Letter of Credit will not comply with the
purposes and provisions of Subsection (b) of Section 1A of the Loan Agreement, or (iv) the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (the “Letter of Credit
Exposure”) will exceed $500,000.00. Borrower’s availability on the Revolving Loan will be reduced by the Letter of Credit Exposure. Any fundings under any Letters of Credit will be treated as an advance on the Revolving Loan and will
be secured by the Security Documents. All Letters of Credit shall be for a term of up to one year but shall expire not later than five days prior to the Termination Date, unless adequately secured by cash collateral held by Lender. Borrower will
sign and deliver Lender’s customary forms for the issuance of Letters of Credit and will pay to Lender a Letter of Credit fee equal to the greater of (i) one percent (1.0%) per annum, calculated on the aggregated stated amount of each
Letter of Credit for the stated duration thereof (computed on the basis of actual days elapsed as if each year consisted of 360 days), or (ii) $500.00, due upon issuance. Any renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit will be treated as a new
issuance for the purpose of the Letter of Credit fees. 
 (e) The Term Loan, the Revolving Loan, all other loans now or
hereafter made by Lender to Borrowers, or either of them, and any renewals or extensions of or substitutions for those loans, will be referred to collectively as the “Loans.” The Term Note, the Revolving Note, all other promissory
notes now or hereafter payable by Borrowers, or either of them, to Lender, and any renewals or extensions of or substitutions for those notes, will be referred to collectively as the “Notes.” 

(b) Subsection (d) of Section 1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.

following conditions: (x) Borrowers shall have completed the improvements contemplated under the Term Loan in substantial compliance with the Approved Plans and the Approved Budget, (y) Borrowers shall have operated the Facility for not
less than twelve (12) consecutive months, and (z) as of the delivery of the compliance certificate for the period ending June 30, 2015, there is no existing Event of Default; (iii) a Collateral Assignment of Transloading and
