(a) The Partnership Parties hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, its directors, officers, employees and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of such underwriter who has, or who is alleged to have, participated in the offering of the Units (such affiliate being referred to herein as a “Participating Affiliate”), from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Units), to which that Underwriter, Participating Affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (C) any Permitted Issuer Information used or referred to in any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) used or referred to by any Underwriter, (D) any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Partnership in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Units, including any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) not constituting an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (“Marketing Materials”), (E) any Blue Sky application or other document prepared or executed by the Partnership (or based upon any written information furnished by the Partnership for use therein) specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Units under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”), or (F) any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or in

any amendment or supplement thereto; or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information, any Marketing Materials, any Blue Sky Application or in any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or in any amendment or supplement thereto, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, in the light of the circumstances under which such statements were made) not misleading, and shall reimburse the Underwriter and each such Participating Affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Underwriter, Participating Affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Partnership Parties shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any such amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information, any Marketing Materials, any Blue Sky Application or in any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or in any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Underwriter furnished to the Partnership through the Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information consists solely of the information specified in Section 9(f). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Partnership Parties may otherwise have to any Underwriter or to any Participating Affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person of that Underwriter.

(b) The Sponsor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, its directors, officers, employees and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each Participating Affiliate, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Units), to which that Underwriter, Participating Affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (C) any Permitted Issuer Information used or referred to in any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) used or referred to by any Underwriter, (D) any Marketing Materials, (E) any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (F) any “free writing prospectus” (any such “free writing prospectus that was prepared by or on behalf of the Sponsor or used or referred to by the Sponsor in connection with the offering of the Units in violation of Section 6(b)(iii) being referred to as a “Sponsor Free Writing

Prospectus”), or (G) any Blue Sky Application, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information, any Marketing Materials, any Blue Sky Application or any Sponsor Free Writing Prospectus, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (except in the case of the Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (iii) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Sponsor in this Agreement or any certificate or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto or contemplated hereby and shall reimburse the Underwriter, and each such Participating Affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Underwriter, Participating Affiliate, directors, officer, employee or controlling persons in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The liability of the Sponsor under the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate net proceeds received by the Sponsor, after deducting underwriting fees and commissions but before deducting expenses from the offering of the Units purchased under this Agreement received by the Sponsor, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Sponsor may otherwise have to any Underwriter or any Participating Affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person of that Underwriter.

(c) The Underwriter shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sponsor, the Partnership Parties, the General Partner’s and the Sponsor’s directors, the officers and employees of the Partnership Parties and the Sponsor, and each person, if any, who controls the Sponsor or the Partnership Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Partnership Parties, the Sponsor, or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Marketing Materials, any Blue Sky Application or in any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Marketing Materials, any Blue Sky Application or in any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or in any amendment or supplement thereto, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (in the case of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Written Testing-the-Water Materials, in the light of the circumstances under which such statements were made) but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Underwriter furnished to the Partnership

through the Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information is limited to the information set forth in Section 9(f). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Partnership Parties, the Sponsor or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 9 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the indemnified party and those other indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 9 if (i) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party and its directors, officers, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified parties or their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the indemnifying party, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expense of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in any one action, suit or proceeding or series of related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action, suit or proceeding). No indemnifying party shall (x) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified

parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (y) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 9(a), 9(b), 9(c) or 9(g) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Hi-Crush Parties, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, from the offering of the Units, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Hi-Crush Parties, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Hi-Crush Parties, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Units purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership Parties and the Sponsor, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter with respect to the Units purchased under this Agreement, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Sponsor, the Partnership Parties or the Underwriter, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Sponsor, the Partnership Parties and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9(e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 9(e) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 9(e), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9(e), in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total

underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Units exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) The Underwriter confirms and the Hi-Crush Parties acknowledge and agree that the statements regarding delivery of Units by the Underwriter set forth on the cover page of, and the concession and reallowance figures and the paragraph relating to stabilization by the Underwriter appearing under the caption “Underwriting” in, the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing to the Partnership Parties and the Sponsor by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Marketing Materials.

10. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriter hereunder may be terminated by the Underwriter by notice given to and received by the Sponsor prior to delivery of and payment for the Units if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 8(k) and 8(l) shall have occurred or if the Underwriter shall decline to purchase the Units for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

11. Reimbursement of Underwriter’s Expenses. If (a) the Sponsor shall fail to tender the Units for delivery to the Underwriter for any reason, or (b) the Underwriter shall decline to purchase the Units for any reason permitted under this Agreement (other than the events described in Section 8(k) and Section 8(l)), the Partnership Parties and the Sponsor will reimburse the Underwriter for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriter) incurred by the Underwriter in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Units, and upon demand the Partnership Parties and the Sponsor shall pay the full amount thereof to the Underwriter. If this Agreement is terminated by reason of the default of the Underwriter, the Partnership Parties shall not be obligated to reimburse the Underwriter on account of those expenses.

12. Research Analyst Independence. The Hi-Crush Parties acknowledge that the Underwriter’s research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that the Underwriter’s research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Partnership and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Hi-Crush Parties hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that they may have against the Underwriter with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Hi-Crush Parties by the Underwriter’s investment banking divisions. The Hi-Crush Parties acknowledge that the Underwriter is a full service securities firm and as such

from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

13. No Fiduciary Duty. The Hi-Crush Parties acknowledge and agree that in connection with this offering, sale of the Units or any other services the Underwriter may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Underwriter: (a) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Hi-Crush Parties and any other person, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, exists; (b) the Underwriter is not acting as an advisor, expert or otherwise, to the Hi-Crush Parties, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the public offering price of the Units, and such relationship between the Hi-Crush Parties, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (c) any duties and obligations that the Underwriter may have to the Hi-Crush Parties shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (d) the Underwriter and its affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Hi-Crush Parties. The Hi-Crush Parties hereby waive any claims that the Hi-Crush Parties may have against the Underwriter with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with this offering.

14. Notices, etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you and certain other firms (the “Underwriters”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) providing for the purchase by the Underwriter of common units representing limited partner interests (the “Units”) of Hi-Crush Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and that the Underwriter proposes to reoffer the Units to the public (the “Offering”).

In consideration of the execution of the Underwriting Agreement by the Underwriters, and for other good and valuable consideration, the undersigned hereby irrevocably agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, (1) offer for sale, sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any Units (including, without limitation, Units that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Units that may be issued upon exercise of any options or warrants) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Units, except for transfers of Units (i) to an affiliate or (ii) as a bona fide gift (provided that, in the case of any such transfer contemplated in clauses (i) or (ii), (A) the transferee or donee shall execute and deliver a lock-up letter agreement substantially in the form of this Lock-up Letter Agreement and (B) no filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Units shall be required or voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period (as defined below), (2) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of Units, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Units or other securities, in cash or otherwise, (3) make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any Units or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Units or any other securities of the Partnership, or (4) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the 60^th day after the date of the Prospectus relating to the Offering (such 60-day period, the “Lock-Up Period”).

Exhibit A-1

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Partnership occurs, or (2) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Partnership announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, then the restrictions imposed by this Lock-Up Letter Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the announcement of the material news or the occurrence of the material event, unless the Underwriter agrees not to require such extension in writing. The undersigned hereby further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement during the period from the date of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement to and including the 34^th day following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned will give notice thereof to the Partnership and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless the undersigned has received written confirmation from the Partnership that the Lock-Up Period (as such may have been extended pursuant to this paragraph) has expired.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Partnership and its transfer agent are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.

It is understood that, if the Hi-Crush Proppants LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), notifies the Underwriters that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, if the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective, or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Units, the undersigned will be released from its obligations under this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.

The undersigned understands that the Sponsor and the Underwriters will proceed with the Offering in reliance on this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.

Whether or not the Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Hi-Crush Parties (to be defined in the Underwriting Agreement) and the Underwriters.

Exhibit A-2

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Letter Agreement and that, upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents necessary in connection with the enforcement hereof. Any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
