Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 20, 2009, Quest Cherokee, LLC (“Quest Cherokee”), Quest Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”), Quest Cherokee Oilfield Service, LLC (“QCOS”) and STP Newco, Inc. ("STP") signed a Sixth Amendment to Second Lien Senior Term Loan Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), to extend the maturity date of the Second Lien Senior Term Loan Agreement, as amended, from November 20, 2009 to December 7, 2009. The Sixth Amendment is among Quest Cherokee, as borrower, the Partnership, QCOS and STP as guarantors, Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC"), as administrative agent and collateral agent, KeyBank National Association, as syndication agent, Société Générale, as documentation agent, and the lenders party thereto. The effective date of the Sixth Amendment is November 23, 2009.

The summary of the Sixth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Sixth Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

On November 19, 2009, Quest Cherokee received notice from RBC, as administrative agent under the Quest Cherokee Credit Agreement, that the borrowing base under the Quest Cherokee Credit Agreement had been reduced from $160 million to $136.9 million, which resulted in the outstanding borrowings under the Quest Cherokee Credit Agreement exceeding the new borrowing base by $23.1 million (the "Borrowing Base Deficiency”). Under the terms of the Quest Cherokee Credit Agreement, Quest Cherokee must notify RBC by December 19, 2009 whether it elects to (i) repay the Borrowing Base Deficiency within 30 days of such election, (ii) repay the Borrowing Base Deficiency in four equal monthly installments of $5.8 million or (iii) pledge additional oil and gas properties as collateral for the Quest Cherokee Credit Agreement to eliminate the Borrowing Base Deficiency.
