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)	Includes 6,000 restricted units scheduled to vest on May 19, 2017.
(3)	Reflects the closing price of the units on February 17, 2017.
(4)	Phantom units granted on or after March 3, 2014 vest on February 18th in the third year after grant and are payable in units.
(5)	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 4,400 phantom units were forfeited. With respect to the subjective phantom unit grants, 4,951 phantom units vested.
(6)	Includes the remaining 23,922 phantom units and 14,674 phantom units from the phantom units granted on February 24, 2015 and June 22, 2016, respectively.
Remarks: Chief Accounting Officer and Controller of Legacy Reserves GP, LLC, the general partner of Legacy Reserves LP.
