Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Each phantom unit represents the economic equivalent of a unit representing a limited partner interest in Legacy Reserves LP.
(2)	The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these units in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all the reported units for the purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
(3)	Includes Mr. Brown's pecuniary interest in 406,827 units held by DAB Family Properties, Ltd., an entity partially owned by Brown Heirs 2012 Trust, of which Mr. Brown is a beneficiary.
(4)	Includes 3,199,738 units held by Cary and Jill Brown Family Partners Ltd.
(5)	Phantom units granted on or after March 3, 2014 vest on February 18th in the third year after grant and are payable in units.
(6)	Pursuant to the achievement of certain objective, performance-based criteria, none of the phantom units eligible to vest for the year ended December 31, 2016, granted on March 3, 2014, vested and therefore 41,330 phantom units were forfeited. With respect to the subjective phantom unit grants, 47,170 phantom units vested.
(7)	Includes 253,400 phantom units granted on February 24, 2015.
Remarks: Director of Legacy Reserves GP, LLC, the general partner of Legacy Reserves LP.
