Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 30, 2013, we entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, originally dated as of July 24, 2012, as subsequently amended (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among us, as parent guarantor, our wholly-owned subsidiary Diamondback O&G LLC (f/k/a Windsor Permian LLC), as borrower, each of the guarantors party thereto, each of the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for the lenders. The Third Amendment modifies certain provisions of the Credit Agreement restricting our ability to enter into commodities and interest rate swap agreements.

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and certain other lenders under the Credit Agreement or their affiliates have provided and/or may in the future provide financial advisory, investment banking and commercial banking services in the ordinary course of business to us and certain of our affiliates, for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary fees and expense reimbursement. In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. is the counterparty to certain price swap derivatives that we use to reduce price volatility associated with certain of our oil sales.

The preceding summary of the Third Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
