Products shipped on the Union Pacific Railroad, as described in Section 2.1 of the PPA; (D) the prices payable for Services under the Transloading Agreement shall be ***, which is inclusive of amounts due for Products under the PPA; provided, however, that such prices shall be reduced to *** per ton for each ton of Products used on a wellsite containing Smart Sand’s SmartDepot™ storage silos; and (E) the *** railcar usage fee set forth in Section 1.A. of the RUA shall be waived. During the Credit Period, Liberty shall purchase from Smart Sand all of Liberty’s frac sand to be used for its operations in the Williston Basin.

2.The obligations of Smart Sand under this letter agreement (including providing the credits set forth herein) are conditioned upon Liberty’s performance of all obligations under the PPA, RUA, Transloading Agreement, and the Master Storage Agreement (including the equipment schedules thereto), including, without limitation, payment in full by Liberty of all outstanding invoices due and payable prior to the execution of this letter agreement. Smart Sand may terminate this letter agreement or any of the credit amounts set forth herein, in its sole discretion, upon providing to Liberty at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such termination.
