Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 28, 2012, Linn Energy, LLC (the “Company”) entered into that certain Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among the Company, as borrower, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association , as administrative agent, and the lenders and agents party thereto (the “Credit Facility”). The Fourth Amendment amends the Credit Facility primarily to add a definition of Excluded Subsidiary for the Company's newly created subsidiary, LinnCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LinnCo”) of which the Company will own the sole voting share, and to otherwise permit the transactions described in the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, originally filed by LinnCo with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 25, 2012.

The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fourth Amendment, a copy of which will be filed with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.
