Item 1.01	Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.	
On April 28, 2016, Fairmount Santrol Inc. (the “Borrower Representative”), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Fairmount Santrol Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Amendment”) among the Borrower Representative, the lenders party thereto, and Barclays Bank plc (“Barclays”) as administrative agent, to the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of September 5, 2013, by and among the Borrower Representative, certain of its affiliates, the lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto, Barclays as administrative agent, collateral agent and revolving administrative agent, and the other agents referred to therein.
The Amendment provides for the extension of the maturity date of approximately 89% of the principal amount of outstanding Tranche B-1 term loans from March 15, 2017 to July 15, 2018. The Applicable Margin with respect to the interest rate on such loans (the “2016 Extended Term Loans”) will be the same as currently applicable to the outstanding Tranche B-2 term loans, including the LIBOR floor. Upon giving effect to the Amendment, the maturity date of $139.1 million in principal amount of outstanding Tranche B-1 term loans was so extended, leaving $16.9 million in principal amount of outstanding Tranche B-1 term loans (not including the 2016 Extended Term Loans) maturing on March 15, 2017. In connection with the Amendment, an aggregate amount equal to 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Extended Terms Loans, or $69.6 million, was prepaid and all accrued interest on the 2016 Extended Term Loans was paid. Following such payment, approximately $69.6 million in principal amount of the 2016 Extended Term Loans remain outstanding and mature on July 15, 2018. Prior to this amendment, the Company would have been obligated to make an excess cash flow payment on April 29, 2016 of approximately $39.3 million.
The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. Extension of Maturity Date .
(a) As required by Section 10.05(e), (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans held by the Extending Lenders, as amended herein (the “ 2016 Extended Term Loans ”) does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans subject to such extension, (ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the 2016 Extended Term Loans is not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans subject to such extension on the Effective Date (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans) and (iii) all other terms applicable to the 2016 Extended Term Loans are substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Extending Lenders than, those applicable to the Tranche B-1 Term Loans subject to such extension, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such extension.
 
4

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the 2016 Extended Term Loans shall be a separate and distinct Class from the Tranche B-1 Term Loans and shall upon the extension of the Stated Maturity Date have the benefit of clause (I) of the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in the Credit Agreement and clause (iii) of the definition of Base Rate in the Credit Agreement.
(c) Except as expressly set forth above, the Borrower Representative shall pay to the Extending Lenders all interest due on the 2016 Extended Term Loans as if such Extended Term Loans were Tranche B-2 Term Loans.

SECTION 3. Term Loan Note .

SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties . The Borrower Representative hereby represents and warrants to the Extending Lenders and the Administrative Agent that the following statements are true and correct in all respects:
(a) the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof to the same extent as if made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided that to the extent any such representation and warranty is already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects;
(b) each Loan Party has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment and to perform its obligations under this Amendment and each Loan Document, as amended hereby.

(c) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a party hereto and thereto and this Amendment is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.
SECTION 5. Conditions to Effectiveness of this Amendment . The effectiveness of the Amendment shall be subject to the following conditions precedent (the date on which such conditions precedent have been satisfied (or waived) is referred to herein as the “ Effective Date ”):

5

SECTION 6. Condition Subsequent . Within one Business Day of the Effective Date, the Borrower Representative shall make a voluntary prepayment of the 2016 Extended Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of the aggregate principal amount thereof. Failure to make such payment shall not be an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, but the amendments set forth herein to extend the Stated Maturity Date with respect to the 2016 Extended Term Loans shall be null and void if such payment is not so received.
SECTION 7. Reaffirmations .
(a) Each Loan Party, subject to the terms and limits contained in the Credit Agreement and in the Security Documents, reaffirms its guaranty of the Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the terms and provisions of this Amendment and consents to the amendment of the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Amendment.

6

the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below)), subject to the terms contained in the applicable Loan Documents and (iii) confirms its pledges, grants of security interests and other obligations, as applicable, under and subject to the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or other customary means of electronic transmission (e.g., “.pdf”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
