| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. On March 31, 2014, Sanchez Energy Partners I, LP ("SEPI") entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with Constellation Energy Partners Management, LLC ("CEPM"), Sanchez Production Partners LLC ("SPP") and the other parties thereto. |
| 2. SEPI directly owns 5,364,195 Class B Units, inclusive of the 224,850 Class B Units required to be transferred to SEPI pursuant to the Settlement Agreement on or before December 29, 2014. SEPI is controlled by its general partner, SEP Management I, LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sanchez Oil & Gas Corporation. Sanchez Oil & Gas Corporation is managed by A.R. Sanchez, Jr. and other members of the Sanchez family. A.R. Sanchez, Jr. shares voting and dispositive power over the shares controlled by SEPI. Each of A.R. Sanchez, Jr., Sanchez Oil & Gas Corporation and SEP Management I, LLC disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these securities in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership by A.R. Sanchez, Jr., Sanchez Oil & Gas Corporation or SEP Management I, LLC of all of the reported securities for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose. |
| 3. Subject to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, CEPM was required to pursue sales of all of its Class B Units (the "Subject Units") by December 15, 2014 (or such earlier date upon which all of the Subject Units have been sold, the "Determination Date"). As further described in footnote (4) below, CEPM was required to share any excess proceeds and/or Subject Units with SEPI if the aggregate amount actually received by CEPM from the sales of the Subject Units pursuant to the Settlement Agreement (the "Actual Proceeds") exceeds the Subject Unit Target Proceeds (as defined in footnote (4)). As of December 31, 2014, CEPM sold all but 499,701 Subject Units. The Actual Proceeds from these sales were $14,745,391.84. |
| 4. Under the Settlement Agreement, on the Determination Date, in the event that there is any surplus achieved from the sales of the Subject Units in excess of approximately $14.3 million (the "Subject Unit Target Proceeds"), or there are any Subject Units still owned by CEPM after CEPM has received the Subject Units Target Proceeds, then CEPM and SEPI agreed to share equally in the excess proceeds and/or Subject Units. However, this sharing is subject to the restriction that SEPI's (including its designee's) one-half share in any aggregate proceeds in excess of the Subject Target Proceeds is capped at $5 million (i.e., SEPI is not entitled to share further in aggregate proceeds in excess of the Subject Unit Target Proceeds once the aggregate excess amount exceeds $10 million). |
| 5. The Actual Proceeds exceeded the Subject Unit Target Proceeds by $479,261.84. On or before December 29, 2014, CEPM is required to (i) pay $239,630.92 (half of the net proceeds in excess of the Subject Unit Target Proceeds) to SEPI, and (ii) transfer to SEPI 224,850 Subject Units (half of the remaining Subject Units held by CEPM). |
| Remarks: |
| SEPI, as the holder of 100% of the Class A Units, is entitled to appoint all of the Class A Managers of SPP. Signed in the following capacities: A.R. Sanchez, Jr. is signing for himself, as well as in his capacity as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sanchez Oil & Gas Corporation, on behalf of Sanchez Oil & Gas Corporation and in its capacity as the sole member of SEP Management I, LLC, on behalf of SEP Management I, LLC and in its capacity as the general partner of Sanchez Energy Partners I, LP, on behalf of Sanchez Energy Partners I, LP. |
